CP3 Has All He Needs Right Here
Ive been thinking more and more about Chris Paul’s current anger with our Roster and the talent it has, and I’ve come to one conclusion after all this thinking: CP3 is wrong. As of right now the Hornets are in an awesome position to move forward. We are once again the underdogs of the league […]

Looking at the Bright Side
Many of us here seem to be very “unenthusiastic” about our current roster. I, however, am not. The Hornets can still be a legitimate playoff contender with the current roster, as long as everyone stays healthy for a decent amount of time. Am I saying we shouldn’t look to make trades? Definitely not. I think […]

Taking Offers for Chris Paul
The inescapable truth for this off-season is that Chris Paul trade rumors will fly until he is moved or the Hornets take the floor in October for their opening game. That, of course, will be frustrating for many Hornets fans, and depressing for others. For a while, I’ve been sitting in the ‘depressing’ camp, but […]

Disappointed With Chris Paul
Perhaps nobody informed Chris Paul, but his recent rumblings about wanting to win do nothing but hinder the Hornets, his Hornets, ability to build a contender around him.
