I hope you’re not allergic to shellfish
Last night’s Taste of the Town had incredibly good food. That is if you aren’t allergic to shellfish which thankfully I am not. Most shellfish is rich in iodine which for some folks can cause their throats to close up. I loved the goat cheese crepes with crawfish sauce and the shells stuffed with crabmeat. There […]

What We Need for the Playoffs
As 100% of the Hornets community should know, the NBA playoffs are nearing. This playoff run means more for this franchise than any other franchise in the NBA. These series of games will determine the future of the Hornets, and will inevitably lead to further success in the near future, or doom of the […]

Monty Williams’ Post-Celtics Press Conference
I went to the post-game press conference tonight. It was my first. Before Monty came into the room, I sat quietly in the back listening to Gerry V getting briefed on the NCAA activity he missed between his soft gumblings . . . 2 of 20 . . . stuff like that. Most of the […]

Hornets Lose a Whacky One to the Celtics
The Hornets lost to the Celtics 89-85 in a high energy affair that saw the previously red-hot Chris Paul miss every shot. David West and Marco Belinelli combined for 55 of the Hornets 85 points, but that wasn’t enough to overcome a third quarter collapse and some interesting calls. Marco Belinelli took three of the […]

The Hornets’ Road to the Playoffs
With 27 days left in the regular season, the Hornets face a challenging, but sparse schedule. They have played a league high 70 games already, so they have a league low 12 left. Theoretically, that should make the always difficult task of keeping starters rested a little bit easer for rookie coach Monty Williams. Unfortunately […]

Hornets Beat the Suns Behind Retro Chris Paul
Chris Paul is unconscious right now. I’m not a doctor, but apparently concussions aren’t all bad. He went for 26 points on 9-16 shooting, to go with 9 assists versus 1 turnovers, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals, to lead the Hornets to a 100-95 victory over the Phoenix Suns. This guy is indistinguishable from the […]

Playoff rotation
It is getting to that time of year where it is time to speculate on playoff rotations. On most cases, playoff rotations get shortened to 8 or 9 men simply because of the increased magnitude of the games as well as the long layoffs between games. Since Monty is a rookie head coach, we have no […]

Game On: Suns @ Hornets
I’m baaaaaack. Apologies for being MIA over the past two weeks, but sometimes Mardi Gras happens, and then on occasion the real world comes calling. Before I get to the game, I want to follow up on what donations will do for our coverage from New Orleans specifically. So far we have had interviews with […]

You have all been duped (A Williams and Demps Tale)
Ok, so the 10 game experiment that I was looking forward to with Marcus Thornton has come and gone. I gave Marcus 10 games as a King to see if last year really was his ceiling and if his game had really devolved since his rookie season. I know 10 games isn’t exactly a ton […]

Playoff Matchup
Lakers or Mavs? Mavs or Lakers? These are our most likely opponents. Normally I try to avoid speculation when so many things could happen between now and mid-April, but this scenario is too juicy. Imagine the following: 1. You are Monty Williams. It’s Wednesday morning, April 13, the day of our final regular season game […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 25: Thanks
Sorry this is late everyone, we had technical difficulties at our Podcast hoster. It was probably available in iTunes (even that was in question), but no where else. We recorded it Sunday, so we talk about the nuggets in it briefly, and, of course, as the genius I am, I predict a loss to them. […]

Nuggets three point barrage buries Hornets
Five minutes into the third quarter, Kenton Martin hit a step back, fall away jump shot over David West to put the Nuggets up by 17 points. Monty Williams couldn’t do anything but laugh; he knew that it was just one of those nights. The second and third quarters saw the Nuggets score a combined […]
