NBA Basketball is On Fire in the Gulf South! Go Hornets!
By Rachel C Vella, General Manager NOTV
New Orleans, LA -
Wow!!! Have you seen the latest score on the New Orleans Hornets? Can you believe they beat out the Lakers live on ESPN? What a great game that was! Number Three – Chris Paul, in only his third professional year, is breaking out like a mad man! He wants the Hornets to be the comeback kings of the NBA with this year’s return to New Orleans.
Now, dear reader, I must confess...I am not much of a basketball fan. Being a year round football fan (Professional, College, Arena, or just plain old flag football), I am a one sport woman. But, how can anyone not stop and pay attention to the New Orleans Hornets!??? I mean, with the past 9 wins (and counting)...what a time to come to New Orleans and see a great NBA Team! They still have lots games left to win in February, March and April before the big playoffs. With Chris Paul leading the team (and hopes of MVP) and at least five other players for the Hornets consistently scoring in double figures, I think the Hornets (without any injury) are - without a doubt - going to the playoffs!
