I'll do some videos on the quirks of specific players, some positive, some negative, for atthehive. Stuff like SPencer Hawes's bounce passes to cutting guards.

I like the bench celebrations. What made this team fun was how much they rooted for one another. As for funny, Hawes's post moves, pretty hilarious. Some of Psycho T's antics were as well. There was one memorable game because it was Roberts and Daniels that led the charge where Batum may have not played and Kemba and Lin sat due to ineffectiveness. That was different and we felt great for those 2 guys.

Washington Post reviews the past season and chimes in on the Hornets' coming off-season:

FiveThirtyEight has the top 11 lineups of the season. The Hornets have two of them. JLin and Marv are the only two Hornets in both lineups.

that's impressive... the fact that CHA has two of the top ten lineups...
and the lineup of Lin/Lamb/Tank/Marvin/Hawes is even more impressive since that's basically a bench lineup of Hornets...
and Tank is the only rookie in the list
Hi Clutchie, I love you... :kiss

Yeah, I don't know what is more surprising -- that there is no CLE or San Antonio lineup among the top 10 or that the Hornets' bench lineup made the top 10. Something about that stat must be messed up!

In my opinion, the most exciting moments for the team in the past season,

1. Team first play off win in 14 years
2. MJ's team first time beat Lebron's team
3. Gave Spurs their biggest blown lead in a loss in the Tim Duncan era (since 1997-98)
4. Most 3 points made in a season in franchise history
5. Kemba set franchise record on scoring with 52 pt. vs. Utah

1. Playoff wins
2. Kemba for 52
3. Win vs Spurs
4. Win vs Cavs
5. Troy Daniels vs Kings

small correction to OP... Bobcats/Hornets/MJ have won vs Lebron previously during his first stay in Cleveland. That was not the first win vs Lebron, just first win since he left Cleveland and joined Miami, then returned to Cleveland.

Thanks! I just love listening to Cliff, trying to pick up what he's saying when it's a play he's calling out or something.

I think Lamar has been up for 3 straight days writing Hornets related articles.


Haha. I have actually left the house three or four times towards the evening for some activities but other than that, yeah, all I've done at home is geared towards producing these articles.

JLin K-Pop video. Not sure how big his Korean fan base is. Maybe he picked up some from Niga Higa. I don't think South Korea is even part of his Asia tour. Though I suppose K-Pop might explain the hair or something :lol: I think the creator of the video did a good editing job matching the visuals to the musical flow (no idea about the actual lyrics since I don't know the language).

Geez. Just so hard to justify a max contract after watching those clips.

I feel like if you're an older team like the mavs these are the two years to tear down your roster and let everyone get signed to ridiculous deals as the cap spikes. Trade for the washed up guys + future picks from teams looking to clear enough space to sign multiple fa.

Then after everyone blows their wads on batum, beal, Barnes, etc you are left with a roster of lottery picks and $100m in cap space.

Eventually free agents will start going for realistic values once everyone is capped out again

Lamar goes in on Batum's defense


The first three clips do not look good on him. Fortunately the forth made it back some.
