Here are some places Hornets Hype has been recently:
- Ticktock6 talks preview & Raptors at Heels on Hardwood. (What a coincidence. I love both heels AND hardwood.)
- mW discusses offseason additions over at MavsBall
- This is old, but in case you haven’t seen it, I did this write up on how much I love the Fleur de Bee for Both Teams Played Hard’s logo ranking series
In other Hornets news, rather ominously, the NOLA.com folks dropped the news last night that, not only is Emeka Okafor now questionable for the season opener, as he has yet to get on the floor and practice with the team, but David West and Julian Wright both tweaked themselves in various ways yesterday at practice. Considering we’re not sure who’s starting at the 2 (although we’re 95% sure that at this point in the season it’s going to be Mo Pete), that means the only person in the starting lineup left standing is Chris Paul. You go, Chris. Apparently, however, Ike Diogu is now practicing and I think he’s going to play tonight. You go, Ike.
But let’s not dwell on unpleasant, unimportant nonsense like the entire team being injured again. Here, enjoy a photograph of David West posing with some cute kids. There. Don’t you feel better?

“You go, Ike” is right! That guy could be huge for the Hornets this year, I’m tellin’ ya.
Byron Scott said Ike had a “terrific” practice the other day. This can only be a good thing, since B.S. doesn’t use praise too often.
Ike’s putting Garland on the map!
