Welcome, Hornets fans.


It should be a fun and interesting series!

Good Job with Dallas!

I was impressed, especially with your poise after winning game 4 convincingly in their gym. You all acted like you expected to win and that is a compliment.

CP3 is a great player. West is terrific. Byron Scott is a great coach.

I will tell you that the Spurs will be much harder to beat than the Mavs.'

First of all, he said "coonass". I thought that was universally accepted as a substitute for "Cajun". Hell, a lot of my coo...er.... Cajun friends use it. Didn't Justin Wilson too?

Second, it was a joke. About the word "geaux" instead of "go". Humor gets a little extra slack.

And third, you mean racist homophobes, don't you?

Don't worry, the Spurs have a lot of international fans, so we are used to translating things. I'm sure we can even get used to translating stuff into coonass.

When I take you out tonight with me
Honey, here's the way it's gonna be
You will set behind a team of snow-white horses
In the slickest gig you'll ever see.
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top
Watch that fringe an' see how it flutters
When I drive them high-steppin' strutters
Nosy pokes will peak through their shutters and their eyes will pop!
The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather.
With eisenglass curtains you can roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather
Two bright side-lights winkin' and blinkin'
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin'
You can keep yer rig if yer thinkin' that I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny little surry with the fringe on the top

Eller:
Would you say the fringe was made of silk?

Curly:
Wouldn't have no other kind but silk

Laurey:
Has it really got a team of snow-white horses?

Curly:
One's like snow, the other's more like milk.
All the world'll fly in a flurry
When I take you out in the surry
When I take you out in the surry with the fringe on top.
When we hit that road, hell-for-leather
Cats and dogs will dance in the heather
Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop!
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along,
The cows'll moo in the clover
The river will ripple out a whispered song,
And whisper it over and over
Don't you wish you'd go on forever
Don't you wish you'd go on forever
Don't you wish you'd go on forever
And you'd never stop?
In that shiny little surry
With the fringe on the top.
I can see the stars gittin' blurry
When we ride back home in the surry
Ridin' slowly home in the surry
With the fringe on top
I can feel the day gettin' older
Feel a sleepy head near my shoulder
Noddin', droopin', close to my shoulder
Till it falls kerplop.
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill
The moon is takin' a header.
And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still
A lark'll wake up in the meader.
Hush, you bird. My baby's a sleepin'
Maybe got a dream worth a keepin'
Whoa, you team an' jist keep a creepin'
At a slow clip, clop.
Don't you hurry little Surry
With The Fringe On the Top.

Actually Kirilenko is now the king of flopping, Manu is living off his old successes as he has now been overtaken by Kirilenko, nowitzki and even Deron williams, and of couse, old stand by derek fisher.

Don't start pulling out youtube videos. We've all got collections that show half the players in the league doing the same things.

Bruce Bowen worked his ass off to become a starter on the most winning team in the NBA in the last decade. And he did it by playing defense. For years, he has drawn the task of defending the best player on the opposing team, night after night, and he's done it better than anyone in the league. To reduce that to the point of saying that "His job is to get you so pissed off at thim that you lose your cool and got tossed" is both unfair and ignorant.

Manu flops. No more than a lot of other players. Even so, it takes a fair amount of basketball savvy to anticipate and put yourself into a position where it will be effective. And it looks really similar to getting into position to draw a charge. But people have started screaming "flop" every time he wobbles on the floor, which is bullshit. If you really used to be a Spurs fan (shame on you), you know that he has a nickname around here - "El Contusion". For every picture you can show of him flopping, I can show you one of bruises, black eyes, bloody noses, etc. The guy only knows two speeds: Stop and GO. He plays his ass off, and he takes a lot of abuse. A lot of the time, he falls down because someone has knocked the shit out of him.

The people who talk that shit about Bruce and Manu are usually looking for an excuse for why their team lost. And those comments are often followed by discussions of David Stern conspiracies, etc. Don't go there. You've got a good team. And if one of your players could suck out a couple of cheap fouls by flopping, to get Duncan off the floor? Don't insult anyone here by suggesting they wouldn't do it.

I love reading the pre-series complaints/concerns of Hornets fans.

It will be very interesting to see how the relatively inexperienced Hornets and their fans deal with the tried and tested Spurs. It's not as if booing Bruce Bowen or chanting things at Manu Ginobili will change their games. And stop already with the "already knocked off an experienced team" posturing: for all of the playoff games that the Mavericks have seen over the years, they've rarely passed the tests that the playoffs pose.

I'm not saying experience will win out in Round 2; I am saying that the notion that the Hornets might somehow be able to intimidate the Spurs is nonsensical.

Okay. His job may not to solely do that but he gets under players skins like no other. I am not challenging his work ethic hes done great jobs against great players (Kobe etc) I said originally that his dirty play was an X-Factor because our star player CP3 has a temper. So does DWest and TC. These guys can get hot from time to time.

Im well aware that Man flops alot but doesnt do it every play. He can draw contact with the best of them. Like Barkley said he's the white(i know hes not) Allen Iverson in that aspect. They have players of his build that dont flop as often though however. He is somewhat durable he does have an ironmans attitude to the game. But I dont know if he would hurt himself as much if he didnt try to get contact like that. I'd love to see Duncan to get in foul trouble. Chandler and West are not floppers however.

You don't get as far as Bruce Bowen has gotten by just being a dirty player. He's chippy, undoubtedly, but he's also a premier perimeter defender and much of the talk of Bowen's chippiness around the league emanates from the fact that perimeter guys don't like being bodied up and harassed the way that Bowen does it -- and the way he does it without fouling. If he can bury the corner 3 in this series, he'll break your heart, too.

Opposing fans don't realize how much contact Ginobili authentically draws and how officials have stopped calling legitimate contact in certain situations because it's Ginobili. With all of the negative things that opposing fans think of him, he's the epitome of a guy who you'd absolutely love if he was on your team. Nothing fazes Ginobili -- no situation is too big and no player is too menacing to stop him from doing what he does. He's aggravating to opposing fans, I'm sure, because he's also one of those guys who will just find a way to beat you. If he's not scoring, he's playing defense; if he's not getting to the rim, he's draining 3's. Fans around the league hate the guy, but he's legitimately among the 20 or so best players in this league right now, even if that's not a fact that's pervasively known. And he tends to be at his best come playoff time.

If you wanna talk about the Bench yes we have had problems with our bench during the year. I know that the Spurs have Udoka, a good under rated player, the 3 point specialist in Barry and Horry, a servicable back up pg in Vaughn, and a great but slow defender in Thomas.

On our side we have Bonzi Wells, im more than sure you guys already know him. Jannero Pargo who can lite it up. Armstrong who......lets just say hes good at fouling and rebounding. And Julian Wright extremely athletic, quick hands and can jump out of the house.

Pop is a great coach. He got the best of Byron in the Finals years ago. But this is a different team. He has a much better relationship with Paul then he does with Kidd. Dont sleep on Byron

There are plenty of decent Spurs fans who don't talk too much smack.

Keep in mind that this place attracts its share of trolls though. People here kinda get a bit defensive at times.

Im well aware that Man flops alot but doesnt do it every play. He can draw contact with the best of them. Like Barkley said he's the white(i know hes not) Allen Iverson in that aspect. They have players of his build that dont flop as often though however. He is somewhat durable he does have an ironmans attitude to the game. But I dont know if he would hurt himself as much if he didnt try to get contact like that. I'd love to see Duncan to get in foul trouble. Chandler and West are not floppers however.

Let me ask you a question:

You're a smart basketball player, and you know your opponent's tendencies. You slide over and get in perfect position to draw a charge, as your opponent flies toward you at full speed. Should you:
A. Stand there and resist the impact with all your might, take the extra punishment, and risk injury to you or the other player. Or,
B. Take the impact of the charge, but add a little body movement just to make sure you get the whistle you deserve
C. As the impact occurs, roll with it like a stunt man, knowing that there was still enough contact to get the charge call

If you chose B or C, does that make you a flopper? Sometimes a sales job is necessary to get a call that you deserve.

Manu draws a LOT of legitimate charge calls, and he pays the price for it physically. As you watch the series, just be fair-minded enough not to fall into the trap of buying into any urban myth. When I watch, I'm not afraid to say "Manu flopped". But I get tired of hearing it when he has made a really heads up play.

But be careful. If you watch the games with an open mind, you might be tempted to come back from the Dark Side and become a Spurs fan again.

Being an Ex-Spurs fan, Im more than aware that this is an intelligent and great team. Theres a reason why you guys have won 4 in 9 years. I just dont want a AK-47ish flop call to happen at the wrong time or at a time that will severly cost us. I give Manu alot more respect than I do Dirk because Dirk is 7 ft tall and tries to pull that shit.

LOL... fair enough. If that happens, it probably won't be an accident. If Manu is going to fake one, it's going to be at a time when it could affect the momentum of the game. The opposing players really need to know where they are on the court in crunch time.

I remember one of the Lakers vets setting up Sam Cassell with a late 4th quarter flop, during his rookie season. Cassell stood and stared like he didn't understand what had happened to him. That play made the difference, and the Lakers won. The next game, Cassell did exactly the same thing to the Laker player from the previous game. He got up off the floor with a big grin, looking like "I learn quick, huh?" It was one of my favorite moments from the playoffs that year.

I hope none of the games have to be decided by a well-timed flop. But if one does, I'm glad we have Manu and Horry on our team.:rollin

Since there is no hope of converting you from the Dark Side, we'll just call a truce.

Anyway, I think it will be a long hard series. Six or seven games. Hornets on top of course.

Some of us are still sore at Mayor Hardburger<sp> for trying to steal the Saints.
I would like to make the trip out to either game 3 or 4. Dunno yet.

Coonass, is a term that is loved by coonasses and hated by people who are PC. Use it as you wish. It is just our version of the redneck.

His job is to get you so pissed off at thim that you lose your cool and got tossed.

Ginobli as great as he is has the tendency to flop. I dont know if its just foreign players or what. Hes great and hes like a whirl-a-derby in the lane. Ive got tons of youtube videos of flops that im sure youve already seen so i wont post it.

No *this* is refreshing... and filling.


Born of a flood and centuries-old Belgian text, 1554 Enlightened Black Ale uses a light lager yeast strain and dark chocolaty malts to redefine what dark beer can be. In 1997, a Fort Collins flood destroyed the original recipe our researcher, Phil Benstein, found in the library. So Phil and brewmaster, Peter Bouckaert, traveled to Belgium to retrieve this unique style lost to the ages. Their first challenge was deciphering antiquated script and outdated units of measurement, but trial and error (and many months of in-house sampling) culminated in 1554, a highly quaffable dark beer with a moderate body and mouthfeel.

Good evening, San Antonio. How is that authentic bit of Texas culture, The Riverwalk, holding up these days?

In any event, I have a lot of respect for the Spurs. Only a fool would not. They're the champs until somebody knocks them off . . . which should be in six games or less. The "experience" factor has been beaten to death. It will come down to basketball, and I like the way the Hornets match up with the Spurs. The Hornets' youth, speed and athleticism will prevail in the end. And, as Roturn says (representing Section 110), you will soon hate CP3.

Trust me, the Hornets are very good. Last years' playoff prediction threads were funny. I was about the only person that thought they'd make the playoffs at all on this forum. And my claiming they'd make at least the 5th seed was considered blasphemy. But they're solid. The question with the Hornets was always, "will their fans support them when they leave Oklahoma." The winning was never in doubt. It seems that a poor season for the Saints and the awakening of Chris Paul can temper even the most fickle of fans however.

Um We In no way play like the Suns. If theres any style we compare too, it would be the Spurs but still there not that much alike. We play team defense well and Tony will not be able to get down the lane like he did against the Suns. I know he will some but he will not get in the lane as much. Plus Nash and AS are not on this team. We have guys who actually try to play defense.

I won't stick up for anyone who's bitching, but I'd rather be whining before the series begins than crying after it's over. So... have fun with that.

How many rings does Scott have? Scoreboard trumps COTY everytime I think its absolutely charming that the Donots are in the playoffs. It probably stopped a lot of NO fans from shooting at the rescue helicopters.

Aww, what an educated and informed person you are. Your parents must be so proud.

Welcome Hornet Fans & Trolls, I guess. Born and bred coonass here, but I bleed Silver and Black, so I'll probably be a Hornet hater before the weekend is out, too.

Well Utah won't give us our name back. But I do agree lame name.

Start a petition to get it changed. How about the esteemed Mosquito? :lol

Never really seen the Hornets play much. Such a stupid fucking name, just never been able to bring myself to watch a team called "the hornets." I mean, it sounds like a division 4 women's team name. Or some Jr High in Maine. "The Hornets"...christ.

"The Spurs"...now that's a great fucking name.

Welcome bee people.

Hornets is a pretty appropriate name when CP starts flying all over the court disturbing your offense.

As for Mosquitos, that was my suggestion when they first moved down here, but Shinn likes Hornets, so we've embraced it.

actually, Scott has 3 as a player with the Lakers. :)



Seriously though, you will find that the majority of posters here are pretty cool. We have our assholes and jerks like every other fan base. The key is to not be so ignorant as to lump all Spurs fans as being of one mindset. That seems to be the prevailing sentiment among quite a few Suns, Lakers and Mavericks fans. Stick to basketball takes and you will find a home here. We still have Pistons fans here from the 2005 finals.

I do like joking around (ask the wannabe looters on the old OKC board), but I have nothing but respect for the Spurs. And I assume the same will hold true for most of their fans.

To be more precise, the fine people of New Orleans do not speak Cajun, or Acadien French. That's a country dialect to be found in the bayou, south and west of New Orleans. You can listen to good French-language stations if you are in Lafayette or Lake Charles.

Nor do they speak with the exaggerated antebellum Southern accent like in the movies. Noone talks like that here. The whites typically speak like Easterners -- when I first moved here, I remarked that white people who grew up in Gretna or Metairie sounded like Brooklyners. It's really close, anyway.

The blacks speak African-American vernacular English, a dialect with simpler conjugations and a strange way of asking questions. "Hoos cat dat is?" instead of the standard "Whose cat is this?"

Isn't that known as ebonics? Or is it different?

The Hornets have fans?

I was confused until late in this season that this rare species even existed.

We have been around since 2002, and we haven't had much winning. Don't be an ass.

I'm here from HR and yeah, it's a tight ship sometimes and clean, but you wouldn't know clean if you're from say, Laredo. It's been that way since the beginning though. Some of you mentioned trying to steal the Saints and while what the New Orleans did to get the Hornets from Charlotte was at least ethical, we dealt with many sour Charlotte fans like I'm sure yall dealt sour Saints fans. Since then, HR's well run, but it's not for everyone's taste.

I've liked what I've seen so far here. Yall have a good sense of humor; in registration I was asked if I'm human and I had to think a minute about it.

Fuck you and the whores you rode in on. New Orleans hadn't been clean for over a century before Katrina turned it into a missing tooth in the smile of the Gulf Coast. And there had been serious talk about bringing the Aints to San Antonio for more than a decade before the levee broke. That wasn't because anyone was trying to steal the team. The owner and the players wanted to escape.

A lot of the Hornets fans seem to be an example of what happens when trolls are allowed to inbreed. Isn't there any copper pipe you should be looting or something?
