Video: Trevor Ariza Answers Questions at Hornets Training Camp
“This is the first time at I’ve been at training camp where I’ve been one of the players with one of the most years of service.” Anyone else notice that the Hornets shirt he’s wearing doesn’t say Hornets? Lots of focus on the New Orleans brand lately.

Monty Williams Would Rather Tongue Kiss a Maggot Than Write This Post
Best quote of training camp so far just came out of Hornets camp. In a brief session with the media, Monty Williams laid this gem– “I’d rather tongue kiss a maggot than tweet or blog.” Other highlights include the knowledge that the team is not limiting Chris Paul at all in practice as a result of the […]

Aaron Gray Won’t be a Hornet, Signs With Raptors.
Yahoo Sports is reporting that Aaron Gray will sign a one year deal with the Toronto Raptors. No word yet on what the value is, but it’s safe to say that Gray won’t be on the Hornets roster. Goodbye, Aaron. There were few moments in my time watching the Hornets that I enjoyed more than […]

Running in Place
I’ve already ranted once about the killing of the trade. I just want to vent a little more of the miasma of anger I’m feeling right now. Sometimes it’s good to have a blog, yes? The Hornets are screwed right now. Again, we could debate the merits of the trade, but the way I look […]

Dell Customer Support
For a hundred reasons, I’d be surprised if any of us sees Dell around today or tomorrow if the reports of the NBA killing the proposed trade for Chris Paul to the Lakers are true, even if something he thinks is better replaces it, which is doubtful since he would have taken that deal to […]

Chris Paul Trade “called off”
Things will be a lot clearer tomorrow, I’m sure. From reports, it appears that the trade sending CP3 to the Lakers, Pau Gasol to Houston, and Lamar Odom, Luis Scola, Kevin Martin and Goran Dragic to the Hornets has been nixed by a group of NBA owners who didn’t like the trade and made David […]

There Will be a Hornets Season!!! (Officially)
The lockout and it’s consequent suckiness are officially over! Players have approved the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, and the season will start (sort of) on time. Although training camp starting tomorrow was essentially a forgone conclusion in the minds of many NBA fans, there were still lingering pessimism from the lockout that everything wouldn’t be […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 43: Trading Chris Paul for an X-mas Package
Yeah. Michael tries to talk about boring crap like TJ Ford and Chuck Hayes, but I put his nose to the grindstone and get talking about when the Hornets trade Chris Paul and what sort of surprise package we can expect for him. I’m hoping for a Lego Castle set. Those things are cool.

What Happens to the “Woo” When Chris Paul Leaves?
Newer Hornets fans might not be aware of this, but the CP3 “Woo” isn’t actually Chris Paul’s. In fact, it’s Ric Flair’s, who was a good friend of the previous Hornets owner, George Shinn. Before Paul heard the noise after every time he did something good on the court, it was Baron Davis who was […]

How Marcus Thornton Becomes a New Orleans Hornet Again
Update- Apparently what I said about Paul and Thornton not liking each other is flat out wrong. I heard it, and after I ran it through my head a dozen times last night I convinced myself that it made perfect sense. The reality is that it isn’t true, the two actually are actually pretty decent […]

In what can only be described as great news for local fans, the Hornets reported today that CST could be covering 65 of 66 potential regular season games this year. Previously Hornets fans have been practically unable to view all the teams regular season games due to some being only televised on League Pass. “We […]

What Game are We Playing?
I thought this was a team in a basketball league, but I’m questioning this most fundamental assumption. For two successive offseasons, fans have celebrated the possible arrival of a player as if they had won a title. This seems so contrary to the basic nature of sports to me that I have to ask: What […]
