With the decading winding down it's about time we look back and evaluate who had the best decade in among NBA teams. Unlike my worst of the decade slideshow, I'll only be evaluating the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs since there really isn't anyone else that can be seriously considered. I'll be looking at the 99-00 season through the 08-09 season. If you don't like it, then write ...

Although there were plenty of good teams throguhout the 00's, it's time we take a few seconds to look at the sheer horror that other franchises have dealth with. Be it through injuries, insane trades, awful draft picks, terrible signing, or just plain old bad management, these clubs exemplify the wrong way to run a team.Begin Slideshow

Some say the game today is all flash and that fundamentals have gone out the window. And some would be right. The game has certainly changed throughout the years to better utilize the freakish athleticism that has become abundant in recent years. Why would a guy like Lebron take a jumper when driving to the hole is an option? You really can't blame coaches for attacking the rim and getting more ...

With the surprising win last night against the Phoenix Suns, Jeff Bower evened his coaching record to 2-2 and improved the New Orleans Hornets' overall record to 5-8. When Coach Byron Scott was fired Hornets' fans expected the worst, even more so when we learned that our GM with no head coaching experience would be the one replacing him. It didn't ease our minds when we heard Tim Floyd wouldácome on asáthe ...

So as most of you know Byron Scott was fired as coach of the Hornets fairly recently. Even more than most NBA fans,áLaker Nationáwas probably a little confused, bewildered, and even angered at the firing, given that as a player he was one of your own. Anyway, there has been constant speculation over the last few year as to who will replace Phil Jackson when he eventually retires from coaching. The ...

The Hornets host the Clippers in what can only be described as a battle of mediocrity. Both teams have dealt with injuries to star players, and neither seems likely to live up to its preseason expectations. For the Hornets, things have only gotten worse since day one. Even when Chris Paul was healthy and playing like a god, they were still losing games. Theálosses weren't even close andáByronáScott paid the price ...

Yesterday I wrote about the likely outcome of a long term Chris Paul injury . In this article (after hearing the same "severely sprained ankle" line from GM/Coach Jeff Bower) we will be examining what the Hornets' future holds when and ifáPaul returns inátwo weeks. As of today, the Hornets' record stands at three wins and eight losses. I'm going to slotá in Paul for returning on Dec. 4 to play ...

According to multiple sources, The Hornets have letácoach Byron Scott go after starting the season a disappointing 3-6, with all the losses in blowout fashion. Talk of Scott being released began at the end of last season when the injured Hornets completely collapsed, losing five of six to end the season including a 58 point stomping in their own house. With the start this year, the Hornets have lost fourteen of their ...

With the Hornets off to their worst start since 2005-2006, it's about that time when Hornets' fans, and NBA analysts start calling for Byron Scott's head. It's not that 2-5 is that disastrousáof a start considering the tough early schedule, but going back to last year Scott's Hornets have won only three of their last 14 games. In thoseágames they were outscored by 167 points (12 a game). To put that in ...

The Hornets will be fine as soon as Byron Scott gets his act together. I tried to convince myself at one point that more bench play would be good for them as a unit, but I was quickly brought back to reality upon thoughts of last year. We need Chris Paul to play 40 minutes a game to be a good team. Emeka Okafor looked great. Although he didn't get any blocks, ...
