Seeing as I started an ENTIRE BLOG devoted to the idea of “You need more Hornets in your life,” my biased self would like to state that HornetsHype wholly supports TrueHoop’s support of the New Orleans Hornets. Me supporting their support… it’s like a little circle of teal. It just warms my heart.
Speaking of TrueHoop, there was an amusing tidbit posted yesterday about how to make your own Manu Ginobili votive candle (skull head, #20 jersey, and all). So yours truly commented thusly: “That’s all right. New Orleans fans’ backyard voodoo altar > San Antonio votives. We put da gris gris on them, bebe.”
Someone in the comment thread asked what that meant, and I represented for New Orleans thusly:
“Gris gris… It’s like… if you took some grave dirt, and some of Manu Ginobili’s hair, and snuck behind the bench and cut off a corner of Tony Parker’s jersey… and put it all in a little bag, and voila!”
So there. You cannot say my mission is not to educate.
Welcome, friendly bandwagoners of America! Talk to me when you’re wearing as much teal as I am (see photo)… I keep saying the HypeMeter is at an all time high, and then it just gets a little higher! Now where to find some grave dirt…
EDITED: I lied, though. This is the best Hornet wackiness the internet has to offer today. Just watch the whole thing and you’ll see. Watch till right after Tony Parker’s interview.
I love Henry Abbott.
Dare I say, mW’s “man crush”!
Great…. It took exactly 7 minutes for Doug Collins to start his “That’s why kobe is the MVP” bullshit!!!!!
And Collins confirmed what I’ve been telling ticktock all day, by saying he waited until the last day of the year to post his ballot, and was waiting to see which team finished first in the West. Like it or not, the NBA MVP is a you have to earn it thing. You can’t just be the best (ask Lebron). You have to prove you can do on a consistent basis (a la Kobe), or end up in first place in the toughest division.
Honestly, the Hornets had 1st wrapped up and the blew it. Had they won, I guarantee Paul would have won the MVP. I’d bet a month’s pay on it. Unfortunately, they stumbled down the stretch. Now whether Byron cared, and whether he got exactly what he wanted in getting Dallas and avoiding Utah, I don’t know. And if that is the case, I’d much prefer a leader willing to sacrifice his personal award to better his team.
And no matter the story, that’s just the type of player CP is.
if anyone wants links to the torrents of the games lemme know…im thinkin of putting this entire post season on dvd
mW are you a intellectual property rights lawyer? if so, ignore this post.
Ummmm….HornetsHype.com officially condemns all illegal bootlegging and begs all visitors to purchase anything that is protected by copyright law. That said, we also value freedom of speech and the right to post things that might offend others. Like “I love Bruce Bowen.” For example.
Wooooooooooo!!!!!
Wait, does that count the half of HornetsHype who has 2 torrented seasons of Battlestar Galactica on the computer?

Hook me up bob, I paid for nba league pass in indiana but unfortunately it won’t broadcast games that are on espn, tnt, or the main nba league pass channel(I have to watch it online cause I’m in california now) I’d get cable but I’m moving in less than a month to orange county.
