Hornets Hype

grassroots growing strong

The Hype is taking a much-needed vacation.

A little warm weather relaxation,  a little All Star watching, maybe a little site redesign, but mostly hitting the streets of Uptown with a dash of Bring Your Own Beverage for the first big parade weekend.

But before you head out there, you should totally check out At the Hive’s excellent post on the State of the New Orleans Hornets. I can say this stuff a hundred times, but at the end of the day it’s based on love, not stats, and no offense, love ain’t gonna get you many rebounds and second chance points. But numbers don’t lie, and the post has a numerical breakdown of what’s gone wrong for the Hornets this season so far, and what needs to happen for it to go right in the final 32 games.

So, go forth, friends, and remember to rep the Hornets in your teal & stripes at the parades this weekend! ‘Cause there’s a lot of basketball yet to be played. And no one gets drunk or laid at a pity party.

See you on the flipside of the season.

P.S. I would like to thank the Great NBA Love of My Life Paul Pierce, who singlehandedly dropped Dallas in the 4th quarter last night to put the Mavs below the Hornets in the standings heading into the All Star break. Forgiven!

    Dudes! Jockamo IPA in a red plastic cup! Or, even better, a whole gallon on daiquiris out of the milk jug. *Shakes head* Gotta learn you youngins how to do this… ;)

    Gawd I love dem parades even when its raining.

  7. Actually, we just stocked up on Corona cans. Plus, planning Margaritas. …

  8. Hornet-Saint says:

    I think Endymion will be my first parade in years…

  9. I got some friends who have a gas-powered bigass blender they bust out on the parade routes. I’m borrowing it for a ledge party if we don’t thrash Orlando Wed.

  10. RIP Tyson Chandler?

    I am so angry right now. This is not good business.

  11. NOT HAPPY. NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

    Plus I’m also having some weird blog issues today. Angry post tonight if anything ever works ever again.

    Cute Couple, but you guys wouldn’t be so skinny if you drank better beer! J/K

  13. At this point I would like to clarify that the ONLY TIME we ever buy beers in cans is during the Mardi Gras season.

    Ever.

    So you all can relax about our terrible beer tastes. We’re microbrew drinkers now, forever, and always. But if you’re gonna be sharing with random folks on the parade route, what better brew to share with them than the High Life?
