Priced out for Saints Games? Geaux Hornets Instead
I was planning to attend a Saints game for the first time since I sold my season tickets a few years ago, but was flabbergasted at how poorly the prices of available tickets to the Saints compare to what the Hornets offer. So much in fact, that I completely abandoned the plan and instead decided […]

Chris Paul Proving He is Still the Best PG
After four games, it’s undeniably time to start addressing Paul as the game’s best point guard again. Some less educated fans will look at his 23-9-6-1.8 stat line and think “that’s nowhere near what other point guards are putting up”, and for some statistics they are right on. Other point guards are taking more shots […]

A Different Kind of Coach
In today’s article, Ryan did a paragraph about Coach Monty that really focused on the strategy difference between himself and his two predecessors. However, I want to talk about something else – his general attitude. Watching these three guys on the court is very different – Scott looking calm but annoyed with his arms crossed, […]

The Hornets Beat the Rockets
It was a fun and fascinating game to watch tonight as the Hornets defeated the Rockets 107-99 (Box Score) in Houston. In a game that had Paul exploding for 14 points in the fourth, Jason Smith tearing it up off the bench, and Emeka Okafor dominating the paint defensively, I wanted to talk first and […]

Hornets Broadcasting Issues Reply
I will answer your direct questions in your reply to my comment first. No not only do I not think CST overcharges for their channel, I know they don’t. If they did, they would not be carried by dozens of other video service providers in the area. In fact, the only TWO that they are […]

Broadcasting Still a Major Concern for the Hornets
It is remarkably difficult to watch the New Orleans Hornets road games on TV if you live in New Orleans or the surrounding area. For those who don’t have to deal with the inadequacies of COX as a cable provider, local blackout rules, or the complex puzzle that is required in figuring out how to […]

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 […]

2010-2011 – here we come
As the hornets started 3-0, here are some impressions, why this was possible, why this wasn’t very easy and why it’s so important. First of all, let’s discuss some differences between this first three games and the last two years. With Thornton, Green, Belinelli and Bayless, the roster counts four potential shooting guards. Even if […]

Hornets Power Rankings- Week One
Other sites have their weekly NBA rankings, speculating on how each team stacks up against each other based on some subjective formula and who knows what other criteria. I am not going to pretend like I have watched all 30 NBA teams closely enough to do that with any integrity, but I have watched every […]

The Hornets beat the Spurs
Three. And. Oh. Before the season started, I was hoping for 2-1. I was expecting 1-2. I’m having trouble containing myself. This team has shown depth, resiliency, and the ability to get defensive stops when absolutely necessary for the first time in two seasons.  Tonight the Hornets built a sixteen point lead and then held off […]

Could 2010-11 Be a Record Breaking Season for CP3?
Last night against the Milwaukee Bucks, the New Orleans Hornets made 34 field goals. Chris Paul had six of those and of the other 28; he assisted on 16 of them. And although those numbers were impressive, he easily could have registered 20+ assists if Belinelli and Ariza were able to knock down some wide-open […]
