So the draft is done and we ended up with a pair of dudes nobody expected us to end up with. Julian Wright and Adam Haluska. Were these two players the best we could do? Will either of them contribute significantly next year? Do the picks leave the Hornets with some work to do in […]

Hey, I just got back from the draft party, and I must admit it was the best damn party I've been to all day. When all was said and done, the Hornets ended up with Julian Wright from Kansas and Adam Haluska from Iowa. Wright wasn't expected to be available at 13, so I guess […]

Righty, this whole post will be mostly me thinking aloud and trying to figure out which guy the Hornets will pick in the Draft tomorrow night. As stated before, I'm way out of the loop with this stuff, so pardon my ignorance as I stumble to a conclusion. First thing I did (yesterday) was go […]

Two weeks without a post, man. I think that might be the longest drought I've had here since the get go, almost four years ago. That's not to say I'm letting this thing slip. On the contrary, these past two weeks have seen me making some moves to ensure that this here site only gets […]

The Finals are in full swing and I couldn't care less. I worry sometimes that if the Hornets didn't exist, I might not watch any basketball at all. The other night I had this dream where I met two Cavaliers in my hallway: LeBron James and David Wesley. LeBron was dressed in a sharp suit, […]

I've been trying real hard lately to be nicer to people. Really, I have. I've even started to feel bad for calling Ron Boone a dumbass for not giving Chris Paul his ROY vote last year. (And that's not just because Deron Williams had a superior sophomore season). But then somebody like Berry Tramel comes […]

The usual dose of imageless news and such… The best official Hornets website on the planet, Hornets.com, have introduced their own blog, as announced yesterday by Jim Eichenhofer. The blog will be called "Hornets 365." Love the name, fellas. Seriously though, this is great news. Eichenhofer will have all kinds of access to the players […]

Some "sports law expert" by the name of Gary Roberts took a dump on the city of New Orleans this week, with his pessimistic comments regarding the Saints and Hornets being published in Monday's Times-Picayune. A quick excerpt… "The reality is that unless New Orleans pulls off an absolute miracle and comes back a richer, […]

Just been catching up on some of those videos over on the Hornets.com homepage. Turns out David West would want Denzel Washington playing him in a movie. I think Leonard Roberts from Heroes would be a better choice… We're off to a good start. On to some random shizzle. No doubt you've all heard by […]

The NBA Draft Lottery takes place tomorrow (Tuesday) and so it's about time to cross your fingers and make good with whatever god you believe in. Our Hornets have a 0.6% chance of landing the top spot, and a 2.2% chance of scoring a top three pick (source). While those odds seem slim, consider that […]

Ah yes, nothing like some irrelevant and obscure news to get me posting again. According to this report, that rapper they call The Game — coincidentally one of my top 43 favorite rappers of all time — was "arrested last night for allegedly making criminal threats." The nice part is further down that story… "Local […]

Our favorite Hornets owner of all-time celebrates his 66th birthday today, so I thought I'd throw out a post dedicated to the main man. Love him or hate him, he's the reason the Hornets (and therefore this website) exists, and you've got to appreciate that. Hell, if it wasn't for this team, I might be […]

Yo, what's happenin' people? I've been a slackin' and the content's been a lackin' but we gonna make it all good right here. First up, happy birthday Chris Paul. Dude turns 22 today. I hope he was watching Deron Williams playing like a stud in Game 7 last night. That needs to be you next […]

Lo and behold, a brand new post. Even though our Hornets didn't make the Playoffs, we're going with the P-word theme for the latest Hornets trivia thingy. Nothing else made much sense. Here come the question marks… Which player is credited with scoring the most points against the Hornets in a single Playoff game? How […]

Anyone catch the Bulls-Heat game last night?

So it looks like Tyson Chandler is the popular pick as Hornets MVP this season. Thanks to everyone for your comments on that one. We'll keep it rolling with some contenders for Game of the Year. So, in which of the 82 this season do you think the team played their best? Which game made […]

Time to get down to our annual end of season awards. The last three years, I just made my own picks and threw them at you, but as an old homeless guy reminded me last Sunday, "sharing is caring," and so this year's awards are going to be a bit more interactive. (Actually, the whole […]

So today marks the last day of the regular season, and the Hornets will close it out in LA against the Clippers. The game means nothing to us, but plenty to those guys. If they beat the Hornets tonight and the Warriors lose to the Blazers in Portland, the Clips will go through to the […]

The Hornets have two more games to play before they wrap it up for the summer. They play at Sacramento tonight and in LA against the Clippers on Wednesday. They have approximately zero chance of making the Playoffs, so these games are kind of irrelevant and I won't be dedicating much time or text to […]

Just wanted to throw up a post dedicated to Oklahoma City, seeing as how last night looks to have been the Bugs' last dance at the Ford Center. I'm absolutely ecstatic that the team is returning to New Orleans, but I gotta show love to the people who gave my team shelter these past two […]
