With the loss at Sacramento the other night, the Hornets fell to 1-8 on the road this year. This is a new look for our fave team, which actually sported a better record on the road than at home in early 2007-08. Ah, but those were different days… the Hornets were sneaking up on teams, and New Orleans Arena wasn’t quite so full of loudness and win. (I can’t really complain, being a season ticketholder– I’ve only seen two losses live in a waaaayyy down season, and that’s including preseason: NO is 6-2 at home.) Seriously, though, the team needs to get its road mojo back. Thoughts?
Lil Buckets' home and away look... what's up with that?
1) More drunks. Look, I am sure there are drunk people in every arena. I am not naive. But there are a lot of drunk people in New Orleans. The Hornets need to import like 100 bums, you know, from off the street is okay, and give them free beer. Maybe beads too. Do you think the drunks would yell more with beads? Hell, give the drunks some beads.
2) Lil Buckets needs to wear his sleeve! Has anyone else noticed this but me? I actually didn’t notice till last week. Marcus Thornton wears a shooting sleeve on his left arm in all the home games but never on the road. Why? I am dying to know. But we’re begging him. Wear the damn sleeve. Please.
3) Place a large humidifying machine in the locker room and all hotel rooms and practice areas. Make it very damp and gross. This is to simulate New Orleans’ humidity.
4) Bust out the pregame prayer. Surely we’re the only arena that has that. Let’s take George Shinn’s holy rollerisms on the road! Jesus for everyone! In every city! (Disclaimer: My distaste for the pregame prayer is not a knock on Christians. It is not meant to be intended that way. We do not like the prayer because it reflects a lack of diversity. You may feel free to disagree with us. We’ll still love you.) We are at the point where prayer might be a legitimate option.
5) Is David West sitting on his bouncy ball on the road this year? I haven’t noticed. If he’s not, he needs to be.
6) Pass out iPods to the team and play “SHOUT!” on the Hornets bench. This song wins games. It is statistically impossible for the Hornets to lose a game once “SHOUT” has been played in the fourth quarter. Why is it statistically impossible? Because it’s never happened. “SHOUT” is like 65-0, seriously. It’s an ice cold closer.
7) I know James Posey distributes hugs on the road. But does he give fist bumps to the entire bench, coaches, team personnel, the waterboy, the ballboys, and the like six other random people who happen to be sitting around there? C’mon, Hornets. Get this man some random people to fist bump. Each extra person is an extra dose of PURE LUCK. Filled with champagne and championship sparkles and stuff.
8.) Peja on a Stick. I’m sure you have room for one on the plane. Put one of the rooks in charge of it.
Horrified
or, .9 Play the Nets in New Jersey.
What if they squint all game and pretend the Lakers are the Nets?
[...] The English: ticktock6 outlines the 8 things the Hornets must focus on in order to capture their second road win of the season. [Hornets Hype] [...]
ticktock6, Jemele Hill’s greedy ass wanted a taco. LMAO!
HAHAHAHHAHAHA you know it!
And lostjello is losing her freaking mind. But of course there aren’t many classy Laker fans. I commend the ones that are though.
Like you ticktock6 I didn’t expect a win either. I actually thought the Lakers would blow the Hornets out by about 25-30 but they couldn’t even do that right. LMAO! Darren Collison plays hard. The rookie never gives up. For that I commend him. F*ck those that don’t like it simply because they want tacos.
