Game Notes: Hawks at Hornets

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:32:59 -0500

by Toney Blare Pre-game – In the press room, we watch the bizarre ending to the Ole Miss-LSU game as Les Miles blows it. An onside kick should be part 1 of a last-minute comeback attempt plan.

Did it really happen? It happened without Chris Paul. It happened without David West having a good game. It happened by dominating the boards.

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:32:20 -0500

The Hornets were in Indianapolis to play their preseason game against the Pacers tonight. Barack Obama was there campaigning, following last night's debate. Apparently their paths crossed. The entire Hornets team attended the Obama rally, and it looks like they also had some photo ops with the presidential candidate. (From which I learned that Barack [...]
