XXXXX xxxxx x x x NEW ORLEANS – Ike Diogu wasn't playing for the Kings or New Orleans on Friday night, so the in-person comparison with Sean May must wait. Yet, while the former Kings power forward – now a Hornet – was sidelined by a left knee injury, that hardly has stopped him from impressing his new team. "Guys are coming off the (practice) court talking about how he's a beast,...

by Matt Steinmetz Filed under: Hornets OAKLAND, Calif. -- Priority No. 1 for the Hornets this offseason was to get some help for Chris Paul and David West . After watching his team get manhandled by the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs last season, coach Byron Scott knew that his team needed more depth. Well, the Hornets are now deeper. But whether Paul and West get some more help...

The so called "experts" on basketball are seeing through beer goggles. There is no way Boston, Cleveland, or the Lakers can match the depth and talent level of the Magic. These other teams are struggling in the preseason, but you don't hear mention of that because it is just "preaseason". Their expertise is laughable, just like it was last year when the Magic "stunned"...

(I wonder if people really know who CJ Watson is...) Despite a somewhat lackluster free-agent class of summer 2009 where Trevor Ariza was the headliner, the NBA off-season was still pretty exciting nonetheless. Richard Jefferson switched conferences and makes me think the Spurs will continue their every-other-year championship a reality. Vince Carter finally got to move back home. Hedo Turkoglu got...
Power forward Ike Diogu is aware of the opinions that some fans and NBA observers have developed about his pro career. Hell be trying to show this season that some of the eye-opening performances hes authored were no fluke.
30Q asks the important questions about the Kings all through September. The early reviews out of Natomas -- and by early reviews, I mean glimpses of a recent voluntary workout provided by the franchise -- are that Sean May is in, all things considered, incredible shape . That's the first step of May's comeback, being in shape. Because as has been written about May for years now, he has the talent....
More photos » by Jack Dempsey - AP Browse more photos » In 2007-08, no team surprised the masses more than the up-and-coming New Orleans Hornets . Their full-time return to the Big Easy after two years as post-Katrina refugees saw them win 54 games and narrowly miss the #1 playoff seed in the jam-packed competitive Western Conference. They were a team on the rise. 2008-09 saw a modest dip...
There's not much to like about Indiana this year. Injury plagued point guard (TJ Ford), starting 2 guard is out until January (Mike Dunleavy), your starting power forward doesn't play defense (Troy Murphy), you lost your backup point (Jarrett Jack), and you didn't improve on a team that won just 36 games last year and finished 3 games out of the playoffs. Danny Granger makes this team bearable. Tyler...
These blind taste tests seem be at the very worst interesting to a lot of GSoMers, so let's try another one to pass by some of the dullest moments of the NBA offseason. Here's the stats per 36 of these two forwards' first two seasons with the Warriors with their personal highs bolded: Forward A Rookie Season: 14.5 ppg (55.4% FG, 67.5% FT), 9.5 rpg , 0.9 apg (1.2 tov), 2.1 blk, 0.6 stl Sophomore Season:...
