HornetsReport.com's newest contributing writer, Curry Smith, gives his thoughts on the Hornets opening night experience. An excerpt:

Biggest Crowd Reactions:
With no more CP3-Tyson “Crescent City Connection”, it was interesting to get a feel for what will rile the crowd up this season. Two early plays got big reactions; both involved Julian Wright. Shooting free throws, JuJu made the first and missed the second. He then tipped the ball out toward the sideline and corralled it in before passing it to Peja for a three pointer to give the Hornets their first lead of the game. In the 2nd quarter, CP was pushing the ball when JuJu got ahead of the pack. From the top of the key, CP sent a pass toward the backboard, and Julian did the rest.
