Eric Gordon’s nightmare season continues. It began with the young shooting guard being shipped from the Los Angeles Clippers to the New Orleans Hornets as the key piece in return for Chris Paul. After making the game-winning shot in a season-opening victory over Phoenix, Gordon sat out four games with a bruised knee. He played once more and has not seen any action since. When the extension deadline rolled around, Gordon and agent Rob Pelinka could not get a deal from the Hornets,
Will Ferrell rewrites the pregame introductions
I’m in the minority on Will Ferrell. I don’t think he’s nearly as funny as everyone makes him out to be. I believe that with some exceptions, many of the more recent “Saturday Night Live” alumni have made an extraordinary practice of taking one skit or character that is worth 6-10 minutes worth of minor laughter and bleeding it dry by expanding it to a movie that repeatedly tells the same joke for 90 minutes. However, Ferrell did do the movie
Sheridan on Chris Kaman, wild Sunday, and West’s supremacy over East
// How good is the NBA’s Western Conference compared to the East? Where will the Hornets’ Chris Kaman land in a trade? CineSport’s Brian Clark & Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops.com discuss those topics and look back to a fun Sunday.
Sheridan: Three prospective Chris Kaman trades
Chris Kaman of the New Orleans Hornets did not attend Friday night’s stunning 93-67 trouncing of the Orlando Magic, and general manager Dell Demps released a statement saying the team is actively trying to trade the 7-foot center with an expiring $14.03 million contract. “We had a conversation with Chris and expressed that the Hornets are going to go in a different direction. We mutually decided for a number of reasons that we are not going to play Chris as we
Hubbard: Cleveland Cavaliers as the NBA rebuilding role model
Hard to believe that anyone’s role model in the NBA would be . . . the Cleveland Cavaliers? The little team that couldn’t? The franchise so unattractive that it could not even entice local sensation LeBron James to stay? The team that has lost its last three games by an average of 28.3 points per game? Admittedly, it is difficult to look up to the Cavaliers when they went from seasons of winning 66 and 61 games to winning only 19
LeBron was sick, but so is his career record vs. Kobe
If Jeffrey Loria (owner of the Miami Marlins baseball team) comes down with a nasty cough and cold, we’ll know who to blame. None other than LeBron James, who took a sick day in the morning but was well enough in the evening to break the 30-point barrier for the eighth time this season, dropping 31 along with eight rebounds and eight assists in the Miami Heat’s 98-87 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Heat were the aggressors throughout the first
Hornets pull off big upset, winning by 13 at Denver
We begin today with a question for those of you with advanced math skills: What are the odds of a 13-point underdog winning by 13 points? It is a pertinent question as we move toward Friday the 13th (the first of three Friday the 13ths in this leap year preceding 2013), because the New Orleans Hornets’ bad luck streak came to a big end last night in Denver as they stunned the Nuggets 94-81 to snap a six-game losing streak. The Hornets
Sixers trade Speights to Grizzlies
The Philadelphia 76ers have made a trade before playing a home game. On Wednesday, the Sixers – who become the last team to play their home opener when they entertain Detroit on Friday – sent little-used forward Marreese Speights to Memphis as part of a three-team deal. Here are the details, according to ESPN.com: “The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed in principle to the terms of a three-team trade with New Orleans and Philadelphia that will bring 76ers center Marreese Speights to the
