Lakers assert their size and beat the Hornets
Yes, the turnovers hurt pretty bad, but the real story of that game was the Lakers simple dominance on the glass. The Hornets couldn’t get an offensive rebound to save their lives, and the Lakers either out-muscled or out-reached the Hornets for multiple second chance points. With the Hornets already struggling defensively, their inability to […]

Hornets @ Lakers Game 5: Walking the Razor’s Edge (With Live Chat AND Watch Party!)
And now it’s best of three as the Hornets have already scrapped their way to the most unlikely outcome so far these playoffs. Yes, more unlikely even than Memphis over the Spurs. (Though, wow, that’s pretty crazy too.) McNamara asked me last night if the Hornets pull this off if it will be the biggest […]

Chris Paul is accepting apologies
I have never experienced an NBA season like this one before. The ups have been way up, and the downs, way down, and that goes for the franchise, front office, the fans, the players, and even our star, CP. I also have to admit that at a few points this season, I was just a […]

Hornets steal game one versus the Lakers
The Hornets just shattered a whole host of sweep predictions, winning 109-100 (Box Score) on the defending champion Lakers home court. Â The Hornets led for almost every minute of the game, played record-tying mistake free offensive basketball, and weathered a storm of free throws in the Lakers favor to start the game. As always, […]

Get Ready: Lakers vs Hornets (Video and LiveChat Too!)
Yeah, I’m the numbers guy. The analytical guy. I contemplated doing an ordinary Game On post for all of you, but I decided there was no need. We know the Lakers are tough, even if Artest and Barnes have knee problems and Blake isn’t playing. What we need, is a nice video to get us […]

New Orleans Hornets at Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies shrugged off the Hornets
In a repeat of the last game between these two teams, the Grizzlies simply outmuscled the Hornets all game long. The Memphis bigs fought their way to superior position, and when they were rarely stymied, Grizzly wing players simply muscled their way to the basket and hit an array of sometimes easy, sometimes stupid shots […]

Game On: Hornets @ Grizzlies (Live Chat!)
Matchup: Hornets(46-33) @ Grizzlies(45-34) Off Efficiency: Hornets 104.3(15th), Grizzlies 104.3(15th) Def Efficiency: Hornets 101.9(7th), Grizzlies 102.3(8th) We did this not long ago, and were embarrassed by the way the Grizzlies big men controlled the paint and their perimeter defense made our offense look like Jar-Jar Binks at war – flailing about uselessly and only making […]
