Rim Rocking Notes: Vegas Summer League Day 3
Posted on 16 Jul 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Day 3 of the Vegas Summer League saw 7 games on the slate with the debuts of multiple lottery picks. I was unable to catch all of the action for I am only one man. A little bit of a format change from Days 1 and 2 but here's what I saw: Phoenix Suns: Markieff Morris battled early foul trouble as he was not taking defense seriously guarding the little known Chris Copeland from the Knicks. He shi...

Posted on 31 May 2012 by Mark Cook.

I have been one of those people who has long believed that the NBA influenc...

Posted on 14 Apr 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
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. The NBA acquired the team in 2010 from majority owner George Shinn, who founded the franchise in Charlotte in 1988. The purchase is a big o...

All-Star break hurtful for Hornets
Posted on 8 Mar 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
Most teams that are 8-26 and have lost three starters and a key reserve to injury welcome the All-Star weekend break with open arms. But the All-Star weekend might have hurt the New Orleans Hornets more than it helped them. The Hornets went into the break winning four of their last six games, and it seemed like the group of mostly reserves were starting to click together as a unit. Sure New Orl...

Hornets Go Streaking
Posted on 16 Feb 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
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. A two-game winning streak does not seem like much of an accomplishment for a 66-game season, but the Hornets have not won back-to-back games si...

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...

One for the Ages…Celtics stun the Magic with 91-83 comeback victory
Posted on 27 Jan 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Payback is a $%&@ But the Orlando Magic would have none on this night falling to the Boston Celtics 91-83 in historic fashion. Monday's loss was hurtful and embarrassing. Orlando wanted to prove that Boston's first win was a fluke because a team with 5 rotation players missing should never win by 31. Never. The Orlando Magic said all the right things before their second game with Boston...

Prepare the Bandwagon, Chris Paul is a Clipper
Posted on 14 Dec 2011 by Taylor Smith.
So, after a seemingly endless stream of posturing, negotiating, vetoed trades and general BS, Chris Paul is finally on the move. And he's coming to the Los Angeles Clippers. I know, it may take months for that sentence to actually sink in. The deal, as reported by approximately 1,025,520 sources, brings Paul (and a pair of future second-round picks) to L.A. The Clips, in return, will send Eric ...
