The Bobcats out-lose the Hornets

Posted by Ryan Schwan April 16, 2012

The two teams combined to shoot 32% from the floor.  In fact, according to Basketball-Reference.com, this game joins only 8 others where one team shot 34% or worse, and their opponent shot 30.3% or worse in the history of the NBA.  So – yeah, one of the worst shooting performances ever.   If you recorded the game to watch it later, my advice is to NOT.

Let the good times roll!  New Orleans Resurgent!

In the NO Podcast Episode 62: What’s with all the Winning?

Posted by Ryan Schwan April 16, 2012

After taking a week off for Easter, Michael and I have the bizarre experience of reviewing a record of 5-2 for the team? Freakish – and alarming! We also talk Aminu’s improvement, Ayon’s regression, Gordon’s contract, Ariza’s benching, and Monty Williams calling Marco a Beast and “Everything he wants this team to be.” Wow.

Yes, that’s the A-Team below. I should say something like “And like the A-Team and Hannibal, Dell Demps’ plan is coming together” but I won’t. I put that picture there because the A-Team is cool.


Enjoy the Podcast! Want it on Itunes?

A special message to those who said New Orleans couldn’t

Posted by Ryan Schwan April 14, 2012

For about eight years, New Orleans fans of the Hornets have had to endure a continuous commentary about the unsuitability of their city for an NBA team.  At times, it’s felt like 80% of sportswriters and commentators with a national audience have talked about the inevitability of the Hornets leaving the Bayou.

We’re not going to hear any mea culpas, so instead I’m just going to do this:
