Chris Paul Injured Chris Paul Injured
- From: CP3_FOR_MVP
-
Description:
Well Chris Paul is going to have to undergo surgery on Monday, and he will be out 1-2 months. Right now the Hornets are in 8th place in the West. But they have many teams that are very close to taking that 8th spot. The first night CP3 was out Darren Collison stepped up with 17 pts and 18 assts. So I think we will be alright without CP3 for a couple of months. But I know everybody else might not agree. So leave a comment and tell me what you think the Hornets will do without the best point guard in the league.

The Chicago Game at the Hive The Chicago Game at the Hive
- From: sofacoach
-
Description:
David, David, David! What is going on in that head of yours! I don't believe a ROOKIE would have made the mistake of not being able to inbound a ball! You play like a kid that gets mad when he is not getting the glory. This is not an individual game. Play like you want to be on the team with all of your team members, not just Chris Paul. I pay to watch the Hornets games on NBA TV because I am a New Orleans native and love both our teams, but I cannot tolerate a game that was lost on stupidity. To come back from a 14 point deficit to a potential win with just an inbound pass shows great teamwork, but to have it all blown away by a knucklehead play is disheartening not only to the fans but the rest of the team. I was considering season tickets because I am moving back home, but I'm not sure now. I will continue to watch and follow the team, but I expect you to play like you want to be a part of the team. GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME AND KEEP IT THERE!

Bravo, Jeff Bower Bravo, Jeff Bower
- From: Wesley
-
Description:
Kudos to head coach/general manager Jeff Bower who has got this Hornets team back on the right track. New Orleans is 22-14 since Bower took over in November, I don't think a lot of us saw that coming after Bower got rid of '08 COTY Byron Scott.
I've also liked the moves he's been making in the front office as of late. Trading Devin Brown and Bobby Brown may not have been an ideal move based on backcourt depth, but these trades now open up playing time for our two rookies who are playing spectacular as of late. Heck, Marcus Thornton has looked like a fearless veteran in his last two starts and may just end up being a surprise candidate for rookie of the year if he keeps improving (Not exaggerating, it could happen).
Plus, look at what Chris Paul is doing with a more consistent group of guys around him, he no longer carries so much of that weight he did over the past year and a half when the team began to decline. Thanks to guys like Darius Songaila, Emeka Okafor, James Posey and even Darren Collison... CP3 has a lot of weapons to use on the floor.
I'm happy with the way the team looks right now and even if Bower may not have proven himself to be the long-term solution yet, he's still done a great job thus far alongside Tim Floyd. Let's hope this 25-20 team can keep winning and keep climbing up the Western playoff standings.

MARCUS THORNTON! MARCUS THORNTON!
- From: CP3_FOR_MVP

Description:
I got four words for the coach. MAKE HIM A STARTER! He da best scoring shooting guard on da team and dey dont even give him enough minutes. If he was a starter he probably could average over 20. Just the other night he had 14 pts in the fourth quarter alone. Also when CP3 was injured he made key contributions coming off of the bench. Hopefully the head coach gets some sense and lets dis guy start. SOON!!!

* Wright’s first concert was held in Milwaukee, when he was 12 or 13 years old. Milwaukee is roughly a 90-minute drive from Wright’s hometown of Chicago.
** Wright explained that one of the main reasons he prefers R&B to hip-hop is that the subject matter is generally deeper. “You hear a lot more in the lyrics about things you deal with on a daily basis, including relationships,” Wright said.
*** Brown says that although he still possesses the “embarrassing” CDs of all three country music singers he listed, they haven’t gotten any airplay by Brown in over 10 years. “They’re in my CD case, but I got those back when I was still in college (at the University of Texas-San Antonio),” Brown explained. “I definitely haven’t listened to any of them lately.” - Blog post

Is it just me or do u think the nba needs the change its rules about who gets in the all star game. I know its the peoples choice but come on Tracy McGrady hasn't played enouph games to be considerd in the game. I mean hes barly on the court and its a waste of postion for someone who has put in the effert this year. CP should be in the game not McGrady. Steve Nash being in the game i can understand cuz hes been on a roll this year but Tracy McGrady hasn't played all last year and less than 15 games this year. If i were McGrady i would feel ashamed because that position should go to Chirs Paul who's put in a great effort day in and day out.

Good job to my hornets got back to .500.
We looking very good still need to trade for a big man hiltons not paning out and you would think i would give him more time cause it took mr.West a while to become a good player. Okafor is playing very well.i see they are using ju ju alot more. Everytime i see that Mo Pete is on our team i get upset he need to be traded too. The rookies are doing their thing i like it i like it.Songila(cant spell) is playing very good.D.West jump shot is starting to go in. And cp3 what more can i say.
2010 Free agents. We need to go after Rudy Gay and a big man
I have no choice but to be happy with my team we are playing good wit the talent we got and we are playing hard.
If you haven't go vote for our hornets to get in the all-star game. Paul not a starter we need to make him one this is a crime

Top 10 Reasons to Attend Elvis Top 10 Reasons to Attend Elvis Night
- From: HornetHenry
-
Description:
If you believe the rumors, Elvis Presley passed away on Aug. 16, 1977. Many people are willing to blindly accept this as fact, even though there have been hundreds of confirmed Elvis sightings since then, as first reported by several publications I faithfully read from cover-to-cover while standing in the checkout line at my neighborhood Rouses supermarket.
Well, call me skeptical that “The King” has really left the building, but I think I have darned good reason to wonder who’s really telling the truth here. In fact, I’m pretty sure I saw Elvis myself a couple weeks back, standing on the sidewalk outside of Harrah’s and waiting for the streetcar (incidentally, The Big E was wearing an autographed David West jersey, which kind of surprised me, because I’d always had him pegged as more of a Peja fan).
But anyway, I’m getting way off-topic. I didn’t stop by Swarm City today to try to convince you that Elvis is alive and well. I didn’t invite you here to complain that the Times-Picayune continues to brazenly shirk its journalistic responsibilities, by ignoring the weekly e-mails in which I explain why Elvis has chosen to spend his golden years (he’ll turn 75 years young on Friday) enjoying the good life in Orleans Parish.
No, I called this meeting because I’d like to discuss Friday’s Hornets home game against the New Jersey Nets, which is doubling as the ballclub’s “Elvis Night.” That’s right, starting at 7 p.m., your Hornets will celebrate the 75th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s Jan. 8, 1935 birth in Tupelo, Mississippi, with various fun-filled activities. It’s time for my Top 10 Reasons to Attend Elvis Night at the Hive article!
Before I get started, let’s remember not to rule out the distinct possibility of The Man himself making an appearance at the game Friday. For the purposes of this article, however, I decided to stick with events that I am 100 percent certain will take place. With that disclaimer out of the way, here are two fistfuls of good reasons why you should grace us with your presence at the New Orleans Arena on Friday:
10) Michael Conti will be there.
OK, so you may be asking, “but Hornet Henry, who is Michael Conti? Isn’t he that left-handed starting point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies?” Actually, my benevolent Creole blue supporter, Conti is one of the world’s greatest Elvis Presley impersonators. Prior to Friday’s game, Michael will be singing the national anthem. Later, he’ll perform at halftime. But just so we’re clear, he’s not actually Elvis (which reminds me, if the real Elvis is reading this, I’ll be leaving two tickets for you in Section 308 of The Balcony. You can pick ’em up at New Orleans Arena will call).
9) A free game program.
The Hornets distribute a GameTime program gratis to all fans in attendance at every game. If you’re a season ticket holder, you might even see your own smiling mug in there, as part of the Season Ticket Holder Spotlight page. Also, don’t miss a Honeybee Spotlight on Martine, one of my favorite Bees of all time.
8) The Dunking Elvises.
Normally known to you and I as the “French Quarter Flyers,” the Hornets’ awe-inspiring dunk team will wow and amaze fans with high-flying slams, this time while decked out in their best Elvis outfits.
7) A great deal for the whole family.
For the incredibly affordable price of $25, Hornets aficionados can purchase a 7Up Friends & Family Pack and attend the game. The 7Up pack features one ticket, one hot dog, one soft drink and one bag of chips. I haven’t seen a steal like this since Chris Paul had eight thefts against the T-Wolves on Dec. 4!
6) The Honeybees.
According to my confidential sources within the dance-team industry, the lovely ladies will be performing a routine to a medley of classic Elvis Presley songs. Don’t be cruel to yourself by missing out on this! (sorry, I couldn’t resist…)
5) Pregame fun.
Did you know that Zatarain’s hosts a pregame Buzz Fest party for fans outside the arena prior to every Hornets home tilt? Buzz Fest features interactive games, live entertainment and $1 beers, with the latter helping you cope more easily with the referees’ calls. Remember though, Hornet Henry always urges you to drink responsibly.
4) Soul Revival.
Speaking of Buzz Fest, one of my favorite New Orleans-area bands will be performing there, providing what the musical group themselves describes as “in-your-face funk, soul and blues from the 1960s to the present, with an occasional country rocker for good measure.” I’m guessing too that if the real Elvis shows up for Buzz Fest, Soul Revival will probably invite him on stage if there's enough time left in the show.
3) CP3.
I'm not sure if the misguided folks who keep casting ballots for less-qualified Western Conference backcourt players have noticed, but the World’s Greatest Point Guard has added another wrinkle to his game this season, ranking in the top 10 of the league in three-point shooting percentage. As if the prolific rebounding, assisting and stealing weren’t already enough, now he’s making 46 percent of his CP3balls. After I get done writing this article, I’m headed to NBA.com to vote and try to help rectify this injustice. www.nba.com/allstarballot2010/
2) Drama.
Is it just me, or have a lot of these Hornets games lately been tough on the ol’ ticker? It seems like every time we play in the Hive, I find myself biting my nails – which I’ve discovered is surprisingly difficult to do when I already have my fingers crossed. Fortunately, my prayers to the basketball gods appear to be working. Since Thanksgiving Eve, almost every home tilt has come down to the last minute. Not good for my blood pressure, but it’s made for a slew of exciting finishes.
And the Number One reason to attend Elvis Night in the Hive is… the chance to see the Hornets increase their home winning streak to six. Let’s face it, with all of these aforementioned tributes to Mr. Presley taking place throughout the evening, it might be easy for the Hornets to lose focus and get distracted from the primary task at hand. But the fellas have been nearly unbeatable in the Hive lately, going 13-3 at home this season, including 11 victories in the past 12 tries. They haven’t lost a game in NOLA since Dec. 11, a five-game string that includes quality W’s over the Nuggets, Heat and Rockets.
As you can imagine, I have complete confidence in the Hornets on their home floor, but I’ll be brimming with even more assuredness if you follow my lead and join me at the arena for Hornets vs. Nets and the memorable tribute to Elvis Presley.
OK, I think I’ve said my peace; now I’ve got to go listen to a few of my old 33-speed Elvis records and get myself ready for the big night. Geaux Hornets!

I Hate To Say It But It Has To I Hate To Say It But It Has To Be Said...
- From: kinglio21093
-
Description:
But there is absolutely NO EXCITEMENT with the Hornets, on both sides. There is nothing to cheer about. The fans are stale and they're not as electrifying as they used to be and there are no more sell outs like it used to be. The team is not explosive either. Okafor needs to learn how to slam dunk those put backs and not tip it in like he always does. By slamming the put backs, it provides excitement and energy. Something both the fans and the team lack. It's just boring. I'm a loyal Hornets fan and will continue to watch the games and continue to be a fan. But seriously, everyone needs to step it up.
I hate to be the guy who brings back old times... But look at this fan made video.

"OUCH" "OUCH"
- From: milvet1221
-
Description:
Okay, I gotta say it (again), this Bower/Floyd experiment IS NOT working!! Look, I love the HORNETS and support them 100% and I will remain loyal to this team. But come on, the facts are what they are. Our guys are out there fighting and the lack of leadership is obvious. Our "BIGS" are looking so lost and confused, we're gettin KILLED in the paint, VERY FEW second chance points etc. etc. etc. All of this can be attributed to effort, but I firmly believe that we are sorely lacking in coaching. Robert Werdinn (spelling) is obviously out of his element coaching. Also, I was very dumb-founded when we "threw" in the towel in Toronto with 22 secs left and a 2 possesion game. What the hell was that about. Fast forward to last nights game against Chicago. The rotation/substitutions left us all baffled. How can you leave your leading rebounder(Okafor), all star forward(D West) and future hall of famer(CP3) on the bench for most of the 4th? I could go on and on but the fact of the matter is we need a coaching change and it needs to happen NOW!!!!!! We have got to have a solid foundation in place for the future NOW so that we will be able to "attract" players to New Orleans. NO ONE is going to want to come here with coaching/management issues un-setled. Come on Mr. Shinn, YOU PROMISED, at center court at our last home game (Dallas) that YOU would do WHATEVER it took to bring a championship to New orleans. Please, it's high time to make that happen befor we end up losing some very key players. You know that the Bower/Floyd tandem IS NOT THE FUTURE of this franchise so make the change/s NOW!!!!!!!

Top 10 Reasons to Attend Holid Top 10 Reasons to Attend Holiday at the Hive
- From: HornetHenry
-
Description:
Happy holidays, fellow Hornets supporters! Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or the fact that Bruce Bowen retired from the NBA, I’d like to extend my warmest wishes to you and your family.
Lately I’ve been busy scouring the New Orleans metropolitan area, hoping to find the perfect gifts for Mrs. Hornet Henry and the rest of the clan. When I haven’t been knee-deep in holiday shopping, I’ve been updating my Facebook page with photos (add me as a friend on Facebook and check out the cool pictures of Hornets players relaxing in NOLA!). I’ve also started tweeting regularly (check it out at www.twitter.com/HornetHenry). Lately I’ve been celebrating my own personal version of “Festivus” on Twitter, airing several of the grievances I have with folks such as Mark Cuban, Kobe Bryant and the Spurs.
But I digress. I didn’t stop by Swarm City today to rehash the findings of my ground-breaking scientific study that indicates Dirk Nowitzki flops on at least three-fourths of the Mavericks’ possessions. I didn’t come here to expound on my theory that Kobe’s rise in popularity signifies a troubling decline in American parenting skills. No, because to do either of those things would certainly not be in the holiday spirit.
Instead, let’s get to the real reason why I’m here today. I’m here to explain why you should treat yourself to a splendid holiday gift and grace us with your presence at Wednesday’s home game in the Hive. Here are my top 10 reasons to attend “Holiday at the Hive” and witness the Western Conference grudge match between the Hornets and the Golden State Warriors:
10) Santa Claus is coming to town (and the concourse).
Let’s be honest, the jolly old fella could’ve picked anywhere in the world to be only two days before his big night. But for the third year in a row, Santa chose the New Orleans Arena concourse as his preferred destination. Yes, you read that correctly… Santa is attending Wednesday’s Hornets-Warriors game!
As you can imagine, Santa’s got a pretty busy ledger during this time of year, but he managed to carve out three hours of his hectic schedule just for us. You can get your picture taken with Santa from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. outside Section 118 before and during the game. And if you think of it, why not let your kids get their picture taken with Santa, too?
9) A chance to decorate your tree.
The first 8,000 fans entering the Hive will be given a free Hornets holiday ornament, courtesy of Peoples Health. I can’t wait to hang mine up next to my hand-made ornaments of Darren Collison and Marcus Thornton.
8) Tons and tons of holiday fun.
In keeping with the spirit of the season, the Hornets will be giving out hundreds of prizes to fans throughout the evening. Don’t miss your chance to catch a free T-shirt from the players, Hugo, the Honeybees or the Buzz Patrol, but make sure you stay on your toes: Honeybee Ginger has been clocked at 96 miles per hour when she’s given at least three days’ rest.
7) A great deal in the Hornets Nest.
My sources tell me that the adidas “Slam Dunk special” in the Hornets Nest team store during Wednesday’s game will be a red Hornets holiday T-shirt, for the low, low price of $12. I haven’t seen a deal like that since the Hornets traded for Darius Songaila!
6) The Honeybees and Used to Bees will be there.
As voted by NBA fans, the Honeybees were hands-down the most popular dance team in the Western Conference last season (*excluding dance teams ardently supported by the nation of China). They’ll be celebrating by performing a special holiday-themed routine. The Used to Bees will also be shaking what their mommas gave them way back when.
5) Hugo will be in the house.
And he’s got a few surprises up his Creole blue sleeves… you’ll have to come to the game to find out what I mean.
4) A halftime show featuring one of NOLA’s finest musicians.
New Orleans native Kermit Ruffins will be playing live at intermission for the enjoyment of fans. The esteemed New York Times newspaper once wrote of him that “Mr. Ruffins is an unabashed entertainer who plays trumpet with a bright, silvery tone, sings with off-the-cuff charm and never gets too abstruse in his material.”
What in tarnation does "abstruse" mean? I have no idea, but something tells me avoiding it has to be a good thing!
3) CP3 is playing.
You never know what Chris Paul could do on a given night. He might score 39 points and help beat the Mavericks in overtime. He might rack up 30 points, 19 assists and nine rebounds vs. Denver. He might score the game-winning layup against the Timberwolves on a backdoor cut. Come to Girod Street and find out for yourself what the World’s Greatest Point Guard has in store for the Warriors.
2) A chance to watch the Hornets continue their dominance in NOLA.
If you’re scoring at home, the Hornets are now 10-3 on their home floor this season, having already beaten formidable foes such as Phoenix, Atlanta, Denver – and much to Hornet Henry’s delight – Dallas. Come to the Hive and help root on the ballclub to its eighth home win over a Western Conference opponent in nine outings.
And the Number One reason to attend Holiday at the Hive is…
Kids 14 and under get in for free!
Do not adjust your laptop. All children ages 14 and younger – provided they are accompanied by an adult who has purchased a ticket to the ballgame – will gain free admission. All you have to do to redeem this offer is visit the New Orleans Arena box office.
What better way to make Christmas come early for your favorite youngster than to bring them to the arena for an NBA game? And unlike the exorbitant amount of money you spent on Junior’s other presents, this one won’t cost you a penny! Talk about an offer that’s perfect for anyone’s budget... I haven’t seen a steal like that since the Hornets traded two future second-round draft picks for Marcus Thornton!
Until next time, Geaux Hornets!
Your pal, Hornet Henry

I'm Back but What the Hell Hap I'm Back but What the Hell Happen??
- From: mjrod
-
Description:
Hello to my Cresent City family, I've been away in training for another promotion and relocated, I am back to see too many changes with our Hornets. What the hell happen with B. Scott???? Somebody explain how to you get rid of a coach that has build up a team that has us knocking on the door of the Finals??? And what is with the GM coming down to the bench, especially with NO COACHING experience, I have more coaching experience than he does??? If you are hired to be GM, please take a page out of the SAINTS "HOW TO BUILD A WINNING TEAM" book, and get players who want to win and play there role on the team. Get your coach that has you in the playoffs, get him the players he needs to get to the FINALS, that is what the whole season is about. Look at the Saints, they found out there weakness and fixed it, it took a couple of years but they spent money, got players who wanted to WIN first, and now look at where they're at now, the Hornets can be in the exact same place. Living out here in California, it is so sickening hearing all the trash the LAKER fake fans talk, I missed the two games the Hornets played but glad to see them spank the Clippers. These Laker nuts now talk about trying to get B. Scott in there future plans knowing they screwed up before he went to New Orleans. I think if you're not going to bring him back like you did with bring back Tim Floyd, who is HORRIBLE as a coach, what is the message you are giving Chris Paul and the fathful fans? I only want to see the best for the Hornets, in a winning way, but most of all, my people of New Orleans. So I will see what is going to happen now that I have time to do so, and if this GM/Coach is staying, you might want to look at some former NBA players to assist you, someone that knows the game, and a winner. Hate to knock on Tim Floyd, but ask yourself, why would USC get rid of him, especially when they finally got a new building they've been waiting for almost 25 years, and top kids playing for them? Its the same Tim Floyd that got fired by the Hornets, so go get some real help and get this team back to playoff form. If need, I will apply for the job, like I said, I have more coaching experience than the GM? Good luck New Orleans, I will be in Miami for the Superbowl win, the parade on Canal St. and while I'm there check out my Hornets, and if the GM is still coaching, maybe give him my application. See Yall Later.

The Laker Game The Laker Game
- From: sofacoach

Description:
I am watching the Laker game and is it just me or does anyone else think that Devin Brown is a ball hog! Every time he gets the ball, he doesn't seem interested in passing it to anyone. He takes low percentage shots and that causes turnovers everytime. When he gets a rebound, he wants to fastbreak coast to coast and that sometimes leads to bad shots by not waitng for his teammates. DEVIN, think about setting up a play or passing the ball to a more open player for a higher percentage shot. It shows that you are playing team ball, not streetball.

*Peterson says his background of growing up in Flint, Michigan, is one reason why he enjoyed watching Diff’rent Strokes as a kid. “It taught you a lot of life lessons,” Peterson said. “I grew up in the inner city, and it was predominantly black. On that show, you saw different races interacting, which was great. It taught me a lot about life.”**Peterson is intrigued by the Sham-Wow concept. “I want to get one of those things just to see what it’s like,” he says. “I also like the Snuggie. The advertising for it is amazing.”
