  • Power Ranking: THE ASCENSION

    Sooooo has anyone checked out the new power rankings from NBA.com? Honestly, I barely keep up with them.  It’s just a fat head NBA analyst throwing a bunch of teams on a chart and saying “well this ones better”.  The rankings mean essentially nothing…   BBUUUUUTTTTTTTTT…   In this weeks essentially useless power rankings the Hornets are…wait […]

  • Power Rankings: where do/will we stand?

    At the end of the pre-season the first power rankings were released of this 10-11 season and based on those rankings the future looked dim to say the least.  The Hornets went 1-7 in a pre-season with no significance and we payed in the rankings.  We, however, knew that are Hornets were not the 21st […]

  • Rumors: Amundson to Hornets

    According to Yahoo! Sports, reports from Newsday are claiming that Louis Amundson is headed to the Big Easy.  GWS and Indy are going to start focusing on Earl Barron because Amundson isn’t interested in them.    Amundson would be a big boost for the hornets this season.  If the rumors are true and we do […]

  • Sources: Thornton not good

    According to Kelly Dwyer of Yahoo! Sports Marcus Thornton is not a top 30 SG in this league.  He ranked JJ Redick as 17 and Redick’s stats and effect on the game are nothing compared to Thorton’s.   Anyone got something to say about this? After taking a look at Dwyer’s list i would insert […]

  • Feelin’ ‘Melo’

    As most of you know there’s a lot of speculation flying around that Melo is going to leave Denver no matter what so Denver is willing to trade him to get something back.  This to me sounds like a good chance to nab melo for some less than hes worth.  The only problem is that […]

  • Next Move

    The planets have alined and pieces are falling into place.  Demps and Sir Monty have done a fantastic job nabbing Ariza for essentially a worthless piece and an extra piece.  Ariza gives us a solid third scorer and starter at the 3 and he will fit in excellently with CP and DW.  But if u look at […]

  • Where’s the Action???

    Does anyone remember about two weeks ago when the entire NBA was flipping out over Chris Paul’s apparent trade demands? Well shortly after CP’s worries were put down during a meeting with the FO and everyone came out saying theyre happy with the direction of the franchise.  But what direction has this team moved since […]

  • CP3 Has All He Needs Right Here

    Ive been thinking more and more about Chris Paul’s current anger with our Roster and the talent it has, and I’ve come to one conclusion after all this thinking: CP3 is wrong.  As of right now the Hornets are in an awesome position to move forward.  We are once again the underdogs of the league […]

  • What Demps Should Do Now

    So the Demps has a plan to make this team a contender. sounds good to me. but im not really sure what he has in mind… Heres what i would do if i were him:     DC + Okafor + Peja for Granger + Dauhntay Jones + Hibbert + TJ Ford   With this […]

  • Reports: CP3 Requests Trade

    according to Yahoo! Sports Chris Paul officially wants to be traded and has scheduled a meeting with the FO to decide his destination.  Paul’s top choices are NY (so he can team up with Amare and then Carmelo), Magic (i hear Dwight is pretty good at catching lobs), Dallas (always in contention), or Portland (young […]

  • Why Not Take A Dive In FA?

    Ive been thinking a lot lately about who we could pick up in FA to make our team instantly better and i think ive come to a player who has a lot to offer… Who could this person be u may ask? well none other than Josh Howard.   sure in the past few years […]

  • How the Hornets can become CHAMPIONS

    There has been lots of talk lately about the hornets future options with trades and cap flexibility.  A lot of ppl are expecting one of the following things if not both: 1)  Collison is traded for cap space/talent 2)  Hornets’ expiring contracts are traded for mid-lvl talent + cap space   Both of these moves […]

  • Thread for Next Season Predictions.

    So as everyone knows next year is going to be a BIG DIFFERENCE as far as the hornets go.  We have a new coach with a new style. we have two new draft picks and im willing to bet that bower will work some magic to impress CP3 and well hav a good free agent […]

  • E.S.P.N.: CP3 open to trade

    So as hornets fans all of us have seen CP3 play over the past five years and its obvious the passion he plays with.  He trys to win every game no matter its significance.  His number one goal as a player isnt to make the money, but to win.  This is a great quality for a […]

  • Are the 4 “Front Runners” for the draft our best options?

    Hey guys this is my first journal posting so I’m not sure how accurate my information is but I’m basically doing this to spark discussion and hear other people opinions.  I’ve been a hornets fan for over three years now and the same as all hornets fans i LOVE Chris Paul.  He grew up right here in Winston-Salem NC […]
