Now that all the “I’s” are dotted and the “T’s” are crossed, New Orleans native Tom Benson is the new owner of the New Orleans Hornets. Benson, who already owns the New Orleans Saints, reportedly bought the Hornets from the NBA for $338 million.

If you are a fan of good basketball and the NBA, I hoped you missed Monday night’s game between the New Orleans Hornets and the Charlotte Bobcats.

Victories have been hard to come by for the New Orleans Hornets this season. But when the final buzzer sounded on last night’s 92-89 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks (12-17), the Hornets (6-23) had successfully extended their winning streak to two.

Hornets have no answers
Posted on 9 Feb 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
No one thought it was going to be easy for the New Orleans Hornets entering the 2011-12 season with no Chris Paul, no owner and no general direction as to who would lead the squad throughout the season. But the Hornets (4-22) have found no answers 26 games into the 66-game season and remain without a superstar, ownerless and scrambling through numerous different starting lineups with hopes that...
