Whooo!!

The circus is back in town tonight as the Hornets try to hold serve in Game 5 against San Antonio. As I've been saying since the playoffs began, the Hornets, while talented and fun to watch, don't have the kind of muscle it takes to win an NBA title. Add one elbow-throwing Charles Oakley type to this squad and maybe they've got something. But as it is, they just can't keep the veteran teams off the boards consistently. Still... as long as they've got home court, and as long as Chris Rose keeps his brat out of the way, they've got a fighting chance.

If you're going to the Arena for tonight's game (which I strongly recommend you DO NOT for reasons detailed here) ALTL has an amusing wardrobe suggestion for you here. Also this bit from Oyster contains too much cheerleading for my taste but is funny anyway because of its additional content.

Meanwhile, D-BB is psyched up.... but he thought the $50.00 Jazzfest tickets were a bargain so do what you will with that recommendation.

Also no matter what happens tonight, James Gill offers a guess at tomorrow's headline.

Whenever the Hornets play, readers all over town awake with foreboding. Another excruciating headline awaits. Will it be "sting" or "buzz" this time?
