In this crazy lockout shortened season, there is no doubt the Hornets have been utterly terrible.  We have seen injuries to Eric Gordon, who has only appeared in two games for New Orleans this season.  Carl Landry is now out for an extended period of time, taking away probably the best bench player this team has.  The high energy player of Jason Smith continues to remain day to...

Portland hopes a Western Conference-worst New Orleans team proves to be a bit of a tonic after the Blazers dropped consecutive games in Rip City.

Portland won the first meeting in New Orleans. Can they do it again? The Blazers and Hornets tip it off at 5 p.m. Friday.

So Will Ferrell announced the starting lineups for the Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Hornets last night. How he got the job is kind of confusing. I guess he was in town to film a movie, and David Stern called and said, “Hey Will, could you come to the arena and do a favor for ya boy. I’m still trying to sell this putrid New Orleans franchise, and if I could somehow trick...

Will Ferrell has once again found a way to take his comedy to the next level. For Wednesday’s game in Louisiana between the Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Hornets, the actor was seen on the court, introducing the starters for both teams. Not only would Ferrell give the normal information on the player, but he would add some of his own flavor. Some guys, like Emeka Okafor of...

No one thought it was going to be easy for the New Orleans Hornets entering the 2011-12 season with no Chris Paul, no owner and no general direction as to who would lead the squad throughout the season. But the Hornets (4-22) have found no answers 26 games into the 66-game season and remain without a superstar, ownerless and scrambling through numerous different starting lineups...

It was 80's night in New Orleans last night as the Hornets and Bulls faced off. So not only did the Hornets' big screen flash images from the 80s such as G.I. Joe, Pac-Man, and play some Journey and AC/DC (which had me singing as I was writing this) the Hornets also brought in comedian Will Ferrell to introduce the players where the hilarity began.And by "hilarity"...

You can add “public address announcer” to the list of things that Will Ferrell is good and funny at. At tonight’s Chicago Bulls vs New Orleans Hornets game Ferrell got the opportunity to announce the starting lineups for both teams. In the video below you’ll see that he adds his own element of humor to the gig. My favorite was “he collects rare birds and has a pet dolphin...

The New Orleans Hornets held their 80′s night Wednesday and invited actor/comedian Will Ferrell to do the introductions for their game against the Bulls. Here’s the result: Funny stuff. Reminds me a lot of Ferrell’s role in his hilarious movie “Semi-Pro”, where he played semi-professional basketball player Jackie Moon and had this hit song: Here’s [...]

For some reason the New Orleans Hornets chose last night as its 80s night for 2012 and brought in Will Ferrell to introduce the Chicago Bulls. Bloggers are literally choking on themselves over this routine. Look, it’s funny stuff, but as you can tell from the crowd’s reaction, they were confused why Will Ferrell was in their city on a Wednesday night. Is it really that...

It must have been a long walk for Will Ferrell to get from North Platte, NE to New Orleans, LA. After appearing in a secretive Super Bowl Sunday ad for Old Milwaukee, Will Ferrell made another random sports related appearance in New Orleans. Ferrell is actually shooting a movie in the city and he visited New Orleans Arena to introduce the starting lineups for Wednesday night'...

The New Orleans Hornets randomly brought out actor and funny-man Will Ferrell for their 80′s Night theme last night, and he proceeded to make fun of the players during the introductions. Good times.

"He majored in Economics, minored in love," Omeka Okafurrrrrr Being a New Orleans Hornets fan this season is not funny. The team has lost seven straight games after a 90-67 defeat to the Bulls, dropping there season record to 4-22. Fortunately, Will Ferrell was on hand Tuesday night in the Crescent City doing what Will Ferrell does - making people laugh and bringing...

Ever since Clay Bennett and his cronies snatched the Sonics away from Seattle, the city has been trying to get back a piece of their city history. Now, NBA commissioner David Stern has said it is a very real possibility. With certain guidelines, though. Stern has said that if the city of Seattle can come up if some money and build a new arena then he will open up to the idea...
