CP3, Reggie Bush the...soccer players?

Oh yes. The World Wide Web is full of interesting things.

And this might be one of the more interesting pieces I've come across recently. The fact that it can be found on SI.com makes it that much more appealing to me for some reason.

The question posed is what would the United States look like if it cared more about socce...

You might have see this, you might not have.

Former LSU standout Glen "Big Baby" Davis nailed the game-winner in Game 4 of the Celtics' series with Orlando. He then proceeded to celebrate and a boy got in his way.

Davis nudged/shoved/pushed the 12-year-old aside and ran to his teammates.

On Monday, the boy's father talked to...

Well, one piece of good news if you're a Hornets fan these days: a panel of 30 league coaches voted Chris Paul onto the league's first-team all-defensive team.

The voting is below.

It's hard to call a season in which a team makes the playoffs a failure.

But when you come into it with the expectations New Orleans had and one of the top five players in the league (Chris Paul), a first-round flop suddenly because a sore subject.

That said, HoopsWorld.com wonders aloud if head coach Byron Scott has become the scapegoat for what went down the fi...



Shinn, UNO about to be tied together?

Harold Kaufman, media relations leader for the Hornets, forwarded me along this little nugget of gold, a little quote for your Monday evening:

"I reached out to UNO to discuss ways that we can help the Athletic Department and told them I would head a committee in an effort to save athletics at the school," Hornets owner George Shinn said. "UNO has a proud, athletic tradition locally from basketball and baseball alumni who have distingu...



Changes for the Hornets? Hoopsworld says yes

A year ago, we were all wondering just how far the Hornets could go, having dispensed with Dallas 4-1 in the first round.

Now we wonder how far the Hornets could fall and what kind of changes could precipitate that fall.

Well, we're not alone. The fine folks at HoopsWorld.com think changes are bound to happen and that it's necessary if the Hornets are going to get...

As if we haven't heard enough about New Orleans' 58-point home loss to Denver in Game 5, the New York Times dredged the topic up one more time.

Why?

Because, as the paper said, after 45 games in 16 days, the first round of the NBA playoffs is finally over.

And that means a review of said round and that means a mention of said blowout loss.

Yep, it was named the >> Continue reading: Hornets are punch line one more time (Poll Included)
