		<title>How Hornets Fans Survive the 2011-2012 Season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They say that every sport is all about winning.  Unless you can&#8217;t.  So what&#8217;s left then?  Watching the sport.  Is that so bad?  Before you reply, consider this: I&#8217;m talking about one season.  One Lockout-shortened season.  After which our team has two first round draft-picks.  And maybe more, pending a possible Kaman trade.  So is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On January 20, 2010, Hornets radio voice, Sean Kelley hosted a live interactive fan conference call with Hornets President, Hugh Weber, Vice-President and General Manager, Dell Demps, and scores of season ticket holders.

		<title>Decoding the NBA Litigation and Why it Still Matters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Representatives of the NBA players proclaimed that they hoped for a summary judgment in their federal litigation within sixty days of filing suit.  The Owners claimed the players turning to litigation was a sham, meant as an improper negotiation tool, and likely ended any hope of  an NBA season this year.  Had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Narrative Me This</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two teams, putting nine months of grind, exhaustive hours of coaching, film, and analysis, with rote dedication to mastering what some call a game, culminating in a determined fight to prove your team is the best in the world, while enveloped in millions of obsessive fans cheering and jeering every move, tells a story on [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Playoffs Are Here. Watch With Friends.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lakers vs. Hornets.  A streetfight to the finish.  May the second best team win.  Kobe proved karma is dead by sticking a dagger in the back of every Sacramento fan last night and denying them one more happy moment, one small shimmer of victory in a season full of struggles.  This all a day after [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Were Right And You Were Wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Guess what Monty Williams and Dell Demps?  Give Marcus Thornton 41 minutes a game and he might just drop 42 for ya.  On 13-20 shooting.  On 4-7 from deep.  Maybe the young guard who&#8217;s so explosive and agile, always avoiding contact, will only have 1 FTA (made) at half, but then the other team will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chalk Talk With Dell Demps at Bourbon House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday night, with the trade deadline looming, the Hornets were good enough to give us just under an hour with the team&#8217;s general manager, Dell Demps.  Although he, like any NBA front office person, was guarded, you could still get a good glimpse of his thoughts by reading how he answered questions, which answers he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Petition for More Marcus Buckets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NBAtv&#8217;s Rick Kamla knows Marcus Thornton is &#8220;Lil&#8217; Buckets.&#8221;  Gil and Bob from CST&#8217;s Cox Sports know it.  Let&#8217;s face it, he knows it.  The Hype has written about Marcus plenty, albeit, much of it last year.  If you&#8217;ve been following him too, you know the nickname didn&#8217;t come out of thin air; MT5 can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gray Smash!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who don&#8217;t know it, I have an irrational dislike of Kurt Thomas.   As Mr. Thomas has aged (he&#8217;s now 38), he&#8217;s often been used as a center, instead of his natural position, power forward.  He&#8217;s 6&#8242;9&#8243;, 230 lbs.  In contrast, his presumptive position opponent at the New Orleans Arena tonight, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hornets Pre-Game Prayer Violates NBA Rules and Good Sense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New Orleans Hornets are currently one of two teams (the Oklahoma Thunder being the other) that start each game with an Arena-wide, pre-game prayer.  This strange occurrence is a hybrid of religious zeal and moneymaking, as the Hornets sell this slot of proselytizing to the highest bidder.   While I&#8217;ve been told that anyone [...]]]></description>
