In the NO Podcast Episode 60: Get Tossed like Smith
Michael and I talk Jason Smith and his suspension, CP3’s homecoming, point out just how bad the starting line-up the Hornets trotted out against San Antonio, play a little game of “Who will be on the roster on opening night 2013”, and THEN talk about the draft as the March Madness tournament resolves itself and […]

Jason Smith Highlight Reel
Andrew puts together a Smith Highlight Reel. Just what you were waiting for. I thought the suspension of Smith was lame. Our on-site media master Andrew must have felt the same because he went home and cobbled together a quick highlight reel. The only thing missing is him “raising the roof” as he walked out […]

Belinelli Extended Qualifying Offer
According to Jimmy Smith’s Twitter: “Hornets have tendered offer to Marco Belinelli, not Jason Smith, sources say. Hope to retain both players.” This will make Marco a restricted free agent while Smith will be unrestricted. The offer is for just over $3m. There as been some discussion here on whether the offer would be extended. […]

Hornets Unlikely to Extend Qualifying Offers to Belinelli or Smith
With time running out for the Hornets to extend qualifying offers to Marco Belinelli or Jason Smith, it’s looking more and more likely that both will enter free agency unrestricted. The Hornets hold a 3.1 million dollar qualifying offer on Smith, and a 3.4 million dollar offer on Belinelli. The two players both played big […]

Dunk That Sh!t: New Star
Every team has a bench, and on that bench there may just be the next superstar . . . but it’s likely that the backup just hasn’t been exposed as not being worth the role of backup . . . As I sit here at Highland Coffees in Baton Rouge with my ladyfriend and the guy that chose […]

Belated Holiday Post
I’m an altruistic guy, so instead of wishing for things for me, I would prefer to wish for things that will benefit all the New Orleans Hornets fans. That includes wishing that every player gained certain skills because of whatever December holiday they acknowledge. The magical idea of Santa Clause/Flying Spaghetti Monster is in no […]

Hindsight: Dell Demps Stayed Late, Taught Summer School
It’s only been seven games for this new look Hornets team, but it’s already clear that Dell Demps was the cool kid last summer. He showed up late and schooled his colleagues, making it look like a piece of cake in the process. He was so smooth, that nobody even realized that he was quietly […]

The Hornets Beat the Rockets
It was a fun and fascinating game to watch tonight as the Hornets defeated the Rockets 107-99 (Box Score) in Houston. In a game that had Paul exploding for 14 points in the fourth, Jason Smith tearing it up off the bench, and Emeka Okafor dominating the paint defensively, I wanted to talk first and […]

The Thunder beat the Hornets
The Hornets completed their pre-season with an 86-101 loss(Box Score) to the Thunder in Oklahoma City tonight, bumping their record to 1-7 in meaningless games. Now the team goes home and gets most of a week to prepare for its first real opponent of the season, the not-to-be-taken-lightly Milwaukee Bucks. There have been a few […]

The Pacers beat the Hornets
The Hornets and Pacers clashed last night in Indiana, and the Hornets lost by 98-101(Box Score) after a very close finish that could have gone either way. One thing, though, is clear. Monty didn’t care at all about winning the game. For the entire fourth quarter, the team rolled with bench players plus Belinelli, with Belinelli serving […]

The Hornets beat the Heat
That was enjoyable as the Hornets beat a badly depleted Heat team 90-76.(Box Score) For most of the game, the Hornets held a comfortable lead – except for the stretch where Bosh got hot and put the Heat on his back. It still bugs me that people dismiss him. The dude is an efficient scorer. The […]
