Game On: Heat @ Hornets
With Lebron taking an unnecessary night off, Dwayne Wade hurt, and David West sitting this one out as well, this game lacks the excitement that was anticipated when fans first saw it on the schedule. Expect nothing more than a few minutes from Bosh. The Hornets will be looking to find some player combinations that […]

Total Rebounding Rate Numbers For Hornets Players in 2009-2010
While looking through the stats from the first few games, it occurred to me that the Hornets might have some serious rebounding problems this year. In the first two games of the meaningless preseason they were out-rebounded 95-71, which isn’t completely telling since they played the deep bench much of the game. It caught my […]

Chat Hornets Today!
Joe Gerrity and I will be doing the Daily Dime Chat over at ESPN.com between 12:00 and 1:00 CST. Stop by and give us a break from all the “If my team gives you two journeymen veterans and a swirlie, can we have Chris Paul?” questions. No one likes a swirlie, people.

Lifting of Oil Moratorium is Good News for Hornets Fans
Back on April 9th Ryan gave you his take on trading Shinn for Chouest, working under the assumption that the announcement of the deal was a mere formality. It’s been over six months since then, and nothing definitive has come out to really reveal who the owner will be at the end of this season. […]

Marco Belinelli’s Dark Secret
At least it was Marco’s dark secret back in his rookie year. I’ll make sure Joe puts that season credential to use and finds out this season if it is still his bete noire. Oh, what am I talking about? Cookies, of course! American cookies, actually. From the archives of our fellow THN blog BallinEurope.com […]

Collison What-ifs; Evan Turner
First of all, it is my belief that to win NBA championships a team must have dominant bigs. This has nothing to do with Jasmine’s or Collette’s. Every championship team I can remember has dominant bigs, except the JorPip Bulls. But that’s the greatest wing combo (not Popeye’s) ever. I’ll give it up for the […]

Being Realistic about a Stojakovic Trade
For as long as I’ve followed the Hornets, there has been an oddity roaming the NBA’s contractual landscape. Most of the time it’s despised, but for one brief period, usually 3-6 months, it becomes a highly sought-after commodity that has enabled some of the most lopsided trades in league history.  I’m talking, of course, about […]

The Magic Demolish the Hornets
When High School and College teams schedule their Homecoming games, they often place a sacrificial lamb on the schedule in order to guarantee an enjoyable weekend for their fan base. Tonight the Orlando Magic had a Homecoming of sorts as they played their first game ever in the brand new Amway Center, and the Hornets […]

The Grizzlies Beat the Hornets
The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Hornets, or rather the end of their bench, in the first preseason game of the year New Orleans. The final score (97-90) really didn’t tell the story as the Hornets clearly didn’t try to win, so just ignore that and move on. It was a positive loss for the Hornets […]

The Arguments for Deron Williams
Utah Jazz fans, and really just D-Willers in general, have recently decided to bring back the old debate about who is the best point guard in the NBA. Most of the arguments are the same, but with Paul’s recent injury a few of them seem stronger. Let’s look at the more common reasons why they […]

My Kingdom for a Four?
Now is the Winter of Our Discontent Made Glorious? Looking back over the recent NOLA stint, which is about to become the second longest stable period in terms of location in franchise history at a whopping 3 seasons and 1 game, we’ve seen quite a few incarnations of this team. There have been come […]

The State of the Rotation
Sifting through what Monty Williams has said(and not said) to the media the past couple days, I think we’re pretty close to a preliminary rotation. Here’s what I think Coach Williams is hinting at – and I have my own thoughts, of course. The Starting Lineup PG: Chris Paul – There’s not much to say […]

Out of Sight, out of their Minds
The NBA GM Survey just came out. It’s a pretty extensive questionnaire that asks NBA GMs to rank all sorts of things, including likely MVP, best player at each position, fastest player with the ball, etc, etc. One thing is very apparent from the survey, however. Chris Paul’s injury-marred season and rumor-marred off-season has harmed […]

Here is a report from the open practice on October 2, 2010, 11:30 a.m. local time at the New Orleans Arena. Non-basketball Comments on the Practice The Hornets held an open practice Saturday, and if their intention was to excite the locals . . . it worked. I estimate about 1200 people showed up, and […]
