So long Bobby!

No word yet on whether or not Bonzi/James will be in uniform on Friday, obvious answer seems to be yes.

Will update as more information surfaces.

Tomorrow's my birthday, hook it up with a win Nawlins!

[Alex_De_Large]

man i hope bonzi don't plays friday

[The Answer!]

What a coincidence how we play them the next game. But new faces or not, hopefully we continue our 5-game winning streak. Happy B-day in advance, 2poor. Be sure to club it up big!

[Texas Longhorns]

Good luck in the game guys.

[luciano-davidwesley]

Have a good one 2poor. We'll win this one guys, I'm confident for whatever reason. Maybe we'll see a few Bucks fans in the crowd as well.

[SportsWorld]

SportsWorld has jumped on the Hornets bandwagon just like our fellow Bucks fans.

Go Tyson!

[NO-KG-AI]

Happy 34th 2poor!!

[dunleavyjr]

Trust me, Rockets will win its 11th straight game.

[Jaykoolzboy]

gotta be a great game, wonder bonzi and bobby going to play or not.

[2poor]

34th?

Try 26.

[jerrod]

we lose to the rockets constantly, so we'd appreciate it if you guys could beat them.

doesn't really matter by how much, but the more the better

[2poor]

Hornets have won something like 8 of 10 from the Rockets dating back a couple years; no answer for CP3.

[Alex_De_Large]

alston must stop him tonight

Go Tyson!

SW FTW! Cubs baseball is right around the corner!

btw, for all you, ehm, new "fans," your first shot at seeing them on national TV will be tomorrow night against San Antonio. Game will be on NBATV, so if you get NBATV and you're not a local, you should be able to catch the game.

I'd say it's because Tyson Chandler gives Yao fits. I saw the last game between them and Chandler does a great job of denying Yao the ball. The last one I saw before that was sometime last season, and it was the exact same thing.

[2poor]

Chris Paul has had some mighty 4th quarters though.

But yeah, Tyson does as good a job as any defending Yao. In the past, Yao still gets his points, but his FG% goes down the tube.

[2poor]

The decision whether Bonzi Wells and Mike James will play tonight against the Houston Rockets will not be made until the league clears all of the players involved in the three-team deal have been cleared.

Wells and James were introduced to the New Orleans media Friday morning, but they were not permitted to participate in the morning shootaround. The Hornets obtained Wells and James from the Houston Rockets in exchange for Bobby Jackson, Adam Haluska and Marcus Vinicius. After acquiring Vinicius, the Rockets traded him to the Memphis Grizzlies.

"All parties involved in the trade have to complete all the physical and reporting requirements,'' Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower said. "There are some paper work certifications that has to be sent to the league. At that point, the league will send us an e-mail stating that all players are cleared for participation.''
