In the NO Podcast Episode 87: Special Guest David Wesley
Michael and I are joined by former Hornet and current member of the Hornets Broadcast booth David Wesley!

Ryan Anderson Stat-Pack
Michael and I are taking a week off of the podcast, so instead I bring to you the Ryan Anderson stat-pack I’ve been sitting on for months. Consume and enjoy. Oh, and should we call Ryan Anderson “Neo”? I think that could work . . .

In the NO Podcast Episode 84: Projecting the Hornets with the Basketball Prospectus
Michael and I are joined by Bradford Doolittle of the Basketball Prospectus and ESPN.com. Over the past month, Brad has written several articles (like this one) analyzing the Hornets, and we thought he’d be a great guest to talk about projections for the future. Oh, and his system is down on Austin Rivers. So Michael […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 83: Henry Abbott, HoopIdea, and Monty Williams Extension
Michael and I are joined by none other than Henry Abbott of Truehoop to talk about HoopIdea, flopping (and CP3), boring free throws, competitive balance, big Markets, Small Markets, and Markets that go “Wee Wee Wee” all the way home. Oh, then we talk the Monty Extension, the Demps extension(?) and Brian Roberts. Please visit […]

Hornets extend Monty Williams
We’ve been talking about this on our podcast and site for a couple weeks now: The Hornets’ two most vital free-agents-to-be for next season were Monty Williams and Dell Demps. Well, that number is now one smaller, as the Hornets have confirmed that they have inked Williams to a new four-year deal.

In this episode Michael and I welcome Roger Mason to the team, talk about what we expect from him, and how worried we are about the Hornets wing players. Oh, and then we talk Dell Demps and Monty Williams. Should the Hornets extend them, and at what price? Oh, and see that nice image down […]

Anthony “SkyNet” Davis
Not a believer in the SkyNet nickname for Anthony Davis we’ve been pushing? Give this video created by the excellent Andrew Smith a watch and maybe we’ll change your mind. Or replace it with an AI and you’ll have no choice but to fall in line . . . or destroy us all, since this […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 79: Hindsight Rules
Sorry the podcast was late! I would blame Star Wars: The Old Republic, but that would be lame of me. Hope you enjoy the podcast! We recorded it Sunday night, so no discussion of the off-on Lopez trade. That will come this Sunday. Instead, we talk about the moves Demps did, and wonder if we […]

Vasquez: Why the Hornets won’t miss Jarrett Jack?
Every time I put together advanced stats to suggest why one of last years players weren’t all that fantastic, Dell Demps does something fun: He makes that guy disappear – sometimes before I post. Belinelli? Headed to Chicago. Ariza? Shipped for peanuts. Jack? Salary dump. “But wait,” you say, “You haven’t said anything about Jack!” […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 78: Free Agency Wrap-up
Not a lot of basketball being played by Hornets players right now, but Michael and I spend the podcast pouring over the western conference in the wake of a busy Free Agency and answering two questions: Are they better than the Hornets now? Are they someone to worry about in three years? Tune in, then […]

Hornets’ summer league team rallies but falls short
In a re-hash of the Hornets regular season, their summer league team took on the Milwaukee Bucks tonight and put together four quarters of pretty ugly basketball. After two double-digit rallies to make it interesting, they fell short in the end. My observations:

In the NO Podcast Episode 77: Young Bucks in Action
Davis takes the court for Team USA, Gordon comes back for the Max, and Austin Rivers tries his hand as a point guard for the first time. Lots to talk about. HOWEVER! If you like this podcast, please, please go to this link and do Hornets247.com a favor. Fill out the survey so we can […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 76: Anderson and Gordon
Some momentous events this week as Al-Farouq Aminu led Nigeria to the Olympics! Oh, and the Hornets sign and traded for some quasi-all-star Ryan Anderson. And Eric Gordon said things that made people mad. Really mad. We talk about it all, as well as McNamara’s perfectly reasonable conspiracy theories. Enjoy the Podcast! Want it on […]
