The New Orleans Hornets Thread

[stevenharvey11]

I was a fan when they were the Charlotte Hornets. I am a fan now that they are the New Orleans Hornets.

Anyone else?

I was a huge Hornets fan when they were in Charlotte. Since the move I have gradually grown indifferent to them.

I loved em. Mugsy and Grandmama and Alonzo. I had the teal jerseys for all of them. Had the purple of Mugsy and LJ.

I have grown a little indifferent. But I can't find myself rooting for anyone else. I cheer for the Grizzlies just because its TN. Can't stand the Bobcats. The lakers, heat, celtics etc. all make me sick. So I cheer for my childhood team and my favorite player Chris Paul.

Besides him, I do like the Thunder and Durant.

Glen Rice was my man back in the Charlotte days.

He totally slipped my mind. Could stroke the 3's.

Good ball player. Did the get Rice from Miami for Zo?

Yeah, the Hornets got Rice and Miami's first round pick (Tony Delk). That was the same year they traded the rights to Kobe Bryant.

For Vlade Divac if I remember correctly.

Might be rough times for NOH, though, if this business about franchises being on the chopping block is true.

It looks like the Hornets got a steal with the Wright for Belinelli trade.

They have started off well. 3-0 against 3 teams that made the playoffs last year.

Beating the Miami Lebrons made my day. Hope they keep it up. Have been a pleasant surprise.

the hornets played really well..miami came out flat big time

even lebron said that "we cant just show up just cuz of who we have" he was upset about it..

then the poor nets came along lol

 

[stevenharvey11]

Still undefeated. I'm pleasantly surprised. Go Hornets!

I used to have some Larry Johnson shoes and an Alonzo Mourning jersey. I don't keep up with the Hornets now but since they are in New Orleans I hope they do well and if they ever make it to the playoffs or whatever then I may watch. The only time I watch an NBA game is if a former Mississippi State bulldog is playing.

Go Mavs

The NBA is buying the Hornets. Doesn't seem like they will be in New Orleans (or be named the hornets for that matter) for to much longer.

Kansas City is going to make a big push to get the Hornets. Brand new arena surrounded by a nice new entertainment district in downtown.

KC will get the best look if/when they move (I still think it's a damn shame Seattle doesn't have a team) but I think it's just as likely the franchise gets axed or merged with another one.
