Things Are Becoming Increasingly Bizarre
If the New Orleans Hornets are intentionally trying to throw off everyone who follows them, reports on them, or even knows about them, then I must say that they are doing one hell of a job. Who knows where this team is going? Up? Down? Left? Right? Into a fourth dimension, not comprehensible by the […]

Luther Head Fails Physical, Won’t Join New Orleans
The New Orleans Hornets have rescinded their offer to guard Luther Head after he reportedly failed his physical, the TP is reporting. Head was expected to immediately compete for backup minutes in the back court, and potentially would have been Chris Paul’s primary backup had Darren Collison been traded. Head was the only new player […]

Summer League: Blazers beat the Hornets
With Collison off to get his college degree and Marcus Thornton sitting on the bench watching, the only reason to watch the game was the Hornets 2 rookies. Unfortunately, after a nice start, Craig Brackins hurt his ankle and was out the rest of the game, so we were left with the Quincy Pondexter and […]

Sane Trade Scenario That Still Probably Won’t Happen!
Okie dokie, since all we can do right now is speculate on what deals will go down, I believe I will join all the trade scenarios and throw one out myself. Not to mention it’s one that would make sense for several sides! Hard to find one of those nowadays… Move number 1: Trade Peja […]

So Chris Paul Wants Out?
Yeah, he does. He’ll qualify it with, “if the Hornets aren’t focused on winning”, but he does. He doesn’t think they are improving the team to a contender status, and you know what? So far, he’s right. Last year, if everything had gone right, the team would have tread water, won about 48 games, and […]

Chris Paul to New York is Moronic at Best
Supposedly Chris Paul had some interesting things to say at Carmelo Anthony’s wedding and they didn’t concern the honeymoon or the electric slide. According to a person who spoke with Amare Stoudemire, Paul made a reference during a speech of a potential union of himself, Stoudemire and Anthony, saying, “We’ll form our own Big 3,”. […]

Now for something completely…similar
This is my first journal entry soooo deal with it! HA! I have proposed a trade that I believe can take this team deep in the playoffs. I am not great with the money aspect of trades/deals so if I can’t do it myself, why not have the ESPN Trade Machine do it for me: […]

The Heat beat the Hornets
Going to keep this recap short and sweet, because it’s late, and honestly, the basketball, on both sides, was terrible. Darren Collison sat out the game with an injured knee. Reportedly, it’s nothing serious and he should play again during Summer League, but they kept him out this game just to be sure. That left […]

If I were GM… v2.0
I wrote this 3 days ago while contemplating what next year’s free agent market held for those who will have the money to play. I decided to wait a bit to post it to see how Coleman shook out during Summer league. His continued development, or lack there of, might require a move for a […]

The Warriors beat the Hornets
The Hornets came out cold, got back into it, led comfortably through the middle two quarters, and then crashed and burned in the fourth. The game as a whole was not much of a shooting display, with the Hornets shooting 36% and the Warriors shooting 41%. The Hornets had the last shot of the game, […]

LeBron’s Move
I feel compelled to say something about the LeBron move. No, not because of the implications it has for the NBA’s next five years. No, not because it was one of the most over-hyped Sportscenter stories since Favre’s retirement saga(s). I want to address some of the most selfish and hypocritical behavior I’ve Witnessed (Ha!) […]
