First of all, in case you haven’t heard, the Hornets are already winners today since they traded Mike James for Antonio Daniels. But let’s try focus on the game, since Daniels won’t suiting up for the Hornets until Friday at the earliest.

So these Bobcats beat us back in November and are now 7-14 on the season. They come in having lost their last three. Our Hornets have won six of their past seven, albeit against easy competition. Hopefully they can take care of business again tonight, because the schedule’s about to get much tougher.

Also, tonight is Hard Wood Classic Night, with our guys wearing 1967-68 New Orleans Buccaneers ABA jerseys, and a special Chris Paul double bobblehead being given out to the first 8,000 fans. Oh, and the Buzz Fest is canceled due to crappy weather. Sad face.
