Chris Paul had to be helped off the court by teammates after apparently injuring his left ankle late in the third quarter of the Hornets' home game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Moments after setting up Hilton Armstrong's dunk, Paul appeared to land on Joel Przybilla's foot, before falling hard to the court and writhing in pain. It was the same ankle New Orleans' star point guard twisted earlier in the week during a victory in Los Angeles over the Clip...

PREGAME The notes on the home locker room dry-erase board are short and to the point. When you’re 0-3, there’s no point in getting too caught up in details. There are three directives for the offense and two for the defense, led by two more general messages. Underlined. They read as follows: GET YOURSELF READY TO PLAY ...

Well, the Hornets got Hilton Armstrong and his gimpy knee back on Monday, and it looks like David West could return Friday, so this excruciating stretch of No Big Men Whatsoever may be drawing to a close.

So we've all heard it said (or, um, said it ourselves) that the Hornets' main weakness in their quest to be a championship team is a lack of depth behind future-All Star-hopeful Tyson Chandler. We can all stop fearing the lack of depth right now, because this is going to be Hilton Armstrong's year. Yep, [...]

Up next in the Project Spurs Southwest Division Preview are the New Orleans Hornets. New Orleans HornetsWhat an off-season they had!
