Did it really happen?
It happened without Chris Paul. It happened without David West having a good game. It happened by dominating the boards. It happened against the team with the best record of this young NBA season. And it happened on national TV.
Oh my gosh, is my Marcus Thornton...

So it clashes like crazy and might make your eyes bleed. Everything Mardi Gras related clashes like crazy! It’s all good. I mean, you can’t complain about the colors in this case. The colors are Mardi Gras. I like the NOLA and the patterned sides. The only thing I’...

And for that matter, New Orleans Hornets too. Last night the arena crowd witnessed its second serious/season-ending injury in as many games, when Kareem Rush tore his ACL. It was a bit eerie to watch him roll around in pain in almost the same spot Chris Paul was rolling around Friday...
I’m Sorry, Maybe I Hallucinated All This, But is This the Part Where the Mainstream Sports Media Admits They Were Wrong?

I’m sorry, did I miss something?
I thought Chris Paul hated Byron Scott. I thought this had been established. Like, mainstream established. I mean, I saw it on ESPN. They’ve been mentioning something about it every third day since last November. But then I get up and here...

Hornets fire Byron Scott after giving up 75 points in the first half at Phoenix last night. Will be formally announcing at it 1 PM. More later, as the news comes in. Feel free to leave a brief messing expressing your complete lack of surprise in the comments.

From Hype reader Mark comes this preview of Chris Paul’s new sneaker, the Jordan CP3.III. This new version is due out 10/02/10, which is actually less than a year after the CP3.II’s, which, if you remember, hit shelves around Mardi Gras time. My take on this colorway: love...

There was a moment just before the final buzzer sounded when I’d forgotten the Hornets just lost.
If you follow me on Twitter, you probably watched me completely spaz out and go crazy when Darren Collison and Lil Buckets checked into the game with six and a half minutes left...

If the media had its way, the Hornets season would be over. That way, big markets like New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago could get back to winning championships. Never mind those pesky San Antonio, Orlando, or New Orleans teams that think they can win it all. But that...

Sad news from the Hornets family today. Owner George Shinn has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. OK, fine, we are guilty of criticizing the Man In Charge at times, and we wouldn’t mind ditching the pregame prayer (or at least mixing it up with a little religious diversity...

ESPN’s Daily Dime – the usual. Except everyone seems to be mentioning that he smacked/kicked/whatever Al Harrington. Hello, that’s probably more a result of Harrington grabbing Chris around the leg than it is indicative of some deep, secret, frustrated desire to...
A Whole Lotta Fuss Over Nothing If You Ask Me

But it still looks like Rondo started it. And if Chris Paul tried to follow anyone into locker rooms and had to be prevented by security, it’s not on this video. (This is from the Celtics’ feed, by the way, since CST didn’t show the end-of-the-game scuffle.) It looks...

It makes me LOL every time I look at it. Every once in a while someone will do something, and I will think, “I totally wish I’d thought of that first.” At the Hive’s “visual recap” of last night’s Hornets/Celtics game is that thing. It is also...

I’m sure some of you remember the infamous Rafer Alston/David West/Chris Paul incident from 2007-08 (Rafer went on national TV the day before the Rockets arrived in New Orleans to play the Hornets and said David West wasn’t a star, the Hornets kicked their butts into next...

Look, I am not gonna be that overeager fan jumping up and down going, “Start the rookies! They’ll save us! Straight to the championship!” I just wanted to make that clear.
But.
It is frustrating in the extreme to watch the Hornets lose to the Spurs on national TV...

As you all may know, I bestowed upon Marcus Thornton in the 2nd game of the preseason the spontaneous nickname of Lil Buckets. “Lil” ’cause he’s a rookie (Look, is Lil Wayne too good for the “Lil”? No. No, he is not). And “Buckets” &...

Don’t be surprised if you see a lot of Marcus Thornton this year. TT6 calls him Lil’ Buckets, after a night of torrid shooting earlier this preseason, when he seemed to be making it rain buckets. A second round pick, yes, but not afraid to shoot, and boy can he. The...
