New Orleans was one of the best teams in the league last season. Chris Paul played at a MVP level and David West blossomed into a bona fide All-Star. Tyson Chandler turned into one of the best defensive centers in the league and the team got solid play from Peja Stojakovic and Morris Peterson. Over the second half of the season (and the playoffs) it looked like Julian Wright was turning into a starter-quality player right before our eyes.
Fast forward a few months...

For acts of rampant douchebaggery and ignorance perpetuated by the Oklahoma City media last season against the city of New Orleans,
And in consideration for me having to look at that generic H logo from OKC last season after the Hornets came back, when the Fleur de Bee was 100 times cooler,
And in solidarity with our [...]

Clearly there is nothing to hype.
After the defense was so horrific in the 4th quarter that the team went down by 8 to the Sacramento Kings' backups, I performed the unspeakably douchey act of folding down the BELIEVES part on our THE BACK ROW BELIEVES banner.
So that pretty much sums it up.
