In the NO Podcast Episode 66: Special Guest David Thorpe weighs in on the young guys

Posted by Ryan Schwan May 12, 2012

Special Guest David Thorpe – NBA trainer, coach, and writer from ESPN.com – joins Michael and I to talk the young players on this team – what they need to do to grow, what they should and can focus on, and talks other young guys in the draft. He also seems to proscribe a trip to France to lose weight and tells us what he’d do with Eric Gordon if he was the Hornets front office.

This one is a good one guys.

Posted by Ryan Schwan April 30, 2012

Michael and I record a two-part podcast for your listening pleasure.

In part 1, we talk the end of the season, lottery odds, Point-Counterpoint about Eric Gordon playing in the Olympics, and because we can’t stop ourselves, a little about the players in the draft.

In part 2, we roleplay. Michael is Dell Demps, I am Monty Williams. We decide which players should go and which should stay after talking about each of the players in depth.

Posted by Ryan Schwan April 26, 2012

The Hornets went flat in the fourth, relying on Lance Thomas, Al-Farouq Aminu and last minute heaves from Vasquez to provide their offense.  It went as well as you’d expect.  Hornets Lose.  Lottery balls safe.  Go root for Sacramento to win.
