If You Can’t Beat it, #HornetsRank it

We’d like you to help out during the next 24 hours. If not… Well, you don’t even want to imagine the irrational consequences.

Buzz Patrol Auditions Filled With Fun, Flips
Andrew and I attended the Hornets Buzz Patrol auditions for the second year in a row, and yet again the trials were just about as fun as watching a late season 2011-2012 Hornets game. The fact that neither Andrew nor myself were forced able to watch the second half of the Saints game was simply a […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 84: Projecting the Hornets with the Basketball Prospectus
Michael and I are joined by Bradford Doolittle of the Basketball Prospectus and ESPN.com. Over the past month, Brad has written several articles (like this one) analyzing the Hornets, and we thought he’d be a great guest to talk about projections for the future. Oh, and his system is down on Austin Rivers. So Michael […]

Michael and I are joined by none other than Henry Abbott of Truehoop to talk about HoopIdea, flopping (and CP3), boring free throws, competitive balance, big Markets, Small Markets, and Markets that go “Wee Wee Wee” all the way home.

Hornets extend Monty Williams
We’ve been talking about this on our podcast and site for a couple weeks now: The Hornets’ two most vital free-agents-to-be for next season were Monty Williams and Dell Demps. Well, that number is now one smaller, as the Hornets have confirmed that they have inked Williams to a new four-year deal.

Anthony “SkyNet” Davis
Not a believer in the SkyNet nickname for Anthony Davis we’ve been pushing? Give this video created by the excellent Andrew Smith a watch and maybe we’ll change your mind. Or replace it with an AI and you’ll have no choice but to fall in line . . . or destroy us all, since this […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 79: Hindsight Rules
Sorry the podcast was late! I would blame Star Wars: The Old Republic, but that would be lame of me. Hope you enjoy the podcast! We recorded it Sunday night, so no discussion of the off-on Lopez trade. That will come this Sunday. Instead, we talk about the moves Demps did, and wonder if we […]

Vasquez: Why the Hornets won’t miss Jarrett Jack?
Every time I put together advanced stats to suggest why one of last years players weren’t all that fantastic, Dell Demps does something fun: He makes that guy disappear – sometimes before I post. Belinelli? Headed to Chicago. Ariza? Shipped for peanuts. Jack? Salary dump. “But wait,” you say, “You haven’t said anything about Jack!” […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 78: Free Agency Wrap-up
Not a lot of basketball being played by Hornets players right now, but Michael and I spend the podcast pouring over the western conference in the wake of a busy Free Agency and answering two questions: Are they better than the Hornets now? Are they someone to worry about in three years? Tune in, then […]
