New Orleans Hornets by the Numbers: New Toys From the NBA

Posted by Joe Gerrity March 27, 2012

The NBA hooked us up with a new stat tool, so I’m taking it for a test drive.

Here’s a nice quote about Griffin by Monty, too– “He’s no fool — he knows he’s making people look crazy and guys don’t like that. He’s gotta expect some of that. It’s just gonna happen. If you jump 5 feet over somebody and dunk it and you got people coming up to you and hugging you after you do it, the opponent’s not gonna say, ‘Oh, man, can you do that again?’

Game On: Hornets @ Clippers

Posted by Michael McNamara March 26, 2012

Just four days ago, the Hornets shot 58% and had five players in double figures, as they beat the Clippers 97-90 in Chris Paul’s return to New Orleans. Unfortunately, the only thing people wanted to talk about after the game was Jason Smith’s foul on Blake Griffin, and now the Hornets travel to LA and many are beginning to wonder if there will be some form of retaliation. Jason Smith is still serving his suspension, but all that means is that someone else might have to pay for the sins of Sir Smitty. Continue reading →

In the NO Podcast Episode 60: Get Tossed like Smith

Posted by Ryan Schwan March 26, 2012

Michael and I talk Jason Smith and his suspension, CP3′s homecoming, point out just how bad the starting line-up the Hornets trotted out against San Antonio, play a little game of “Who will be on the roster on opening night 2013″, and THEN talk about the draft as the March Madness tournament resolves itself and Michael lets you in on a rumor he’s heard about why Jared Sullinger’s stock may be falling. I listen in disbelief.

Ladies, how you doin?

Enjoy the Podcast! Want it on Itunes?

Jason Smith Highlight Reel

Posted by Ryan Schwan March 25, 2012

Andrew puts together a Smith Highlight Reel.  Just what you were waiting for.

I thought the suspension of Smith was lame.  Our on-site media master Andrew must have felt the same because he went home and cobbled together a quick highlight reel.  The only thing missing is him “raising the roof” as he walked out after being tossed.  Enjoy!
