WSU151 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I'm pretty sure the Hornets were in the playoffs in 2004. They went 6 or 7 games with the Heat before losing. You are correct - the Hornets lost to the Heat in seven (it was the 4/5 matchup).And the Bobcats had terrible attendence last year. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 That was the case in 03-04, the year before the Bobcats started. This past year the Hornets moved to the western conference, were 18-64 and were horrible. They started the year 2-28.

Lee. Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Getting things back on track, I hereby call for the team to be renamed the Oklahornets. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirearmofMutiny Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I think Manchester United, Real Madrid & maybe Chelsea might want to argue that title. Oh, no doubt ManU and Real Madrid are in the mix. The similarities between them and the Yankees are very eerie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBPerry Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 everybody's talking about uni's but I wonder what the Ford Center court will look like? Will they have the hornets wordmark, logo, or just oklahoma city with ford center logos? <embed src="http://www.clocklink.com/clocks/5005-Blue.swf?TimeZone=CST&TimeFormat=hhmmssTT" width="180" height="60" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">joshuabperry@sbcglobal.netMy Webpage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awuestenfeld Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I wonder what the Ford Center court will look like? Thats what I was wondering too... Hopefully they will change it for the team, although I do like the Ford Center theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Why don't the Bobcats just move to STL and so the Hornets can go back to Charlotte where they belong. Then everyone is happy. Charlotte doesn't want Shinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr79 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I think Manchester United, Real Madrid & maybe Chelsea might want to argue that title. Oh, no doubt ManU and Real Madrid are in the mix. The similarities between them and the Yankees are very eerie. Not to be pedantic but Real Madrid is a member based club. It doesn't have one "owner" as such but rather an elected president. But yes, he deserves to be much hated.As for Hornet in OKC... I think its nice to see a major league team in a new market, and give the locals a chance to come out and support. No offence to StL or KC but its not like there's a lot of top level professional sports in OK. They even missed out on MLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Stern also likes to be the only game in town: Portland, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Memphis, Orlando, San Antonio, and now Oklahoma City don't have any other teams from the Big 4. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHLArenaGuide Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Stern also likes to be the only game in town: Portland, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Memphis, Orlando, San Antonio, and now Oklahoma City don't have any other teams from the Big 4. I don't fault him for this though, better to be number one in a smaller sports town market than number four in a bigger one. Where has the NHL done better, Atlanta or Columbus? Miami or Calgary? The NBA has also done well in Sacramento and San Antonio in particular.I think the Hornets will be in OKC full time in a couple years if they draw well. I also think OKC is probably looking at this as their chance to prove they're a big-league city, something they've been desiring for a long time.

therebelas Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Oklahoma City basketball. Bryce Drew's buzzer beater is all I came up with as far as a history of basketball in the city. Buck Flanigan was nowhere near Bryce Drew's shot. That is a farked picture, but a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffelh Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I was hoping they would be the New Orleans Hornets of Oklahoma City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I can safely say that if the Hornets went to OKC full time, very little in N.O. would shed a tear.I know I won't. The way Shinn is salivating at making money anywhere and not really giving a flying crap about N.O. is really rubbing me the wrong way. Granted, I wasn't a Hornets fan to begin with (I live in Louisiana, Baton Rouge now, but born and raised in Metairie), but his attitude makes me see why folks in Charlotte were more than happy to get rid of him.I'd be just as angry at Tom Benson if he was calling his team the "New Orleans/San Antonio/Baton Rouge Saints". At least attempt to look like you care about the city, Shinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakfu Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 New Orleans has shed so many tears already, the Hornets wouldn't be much of a loss...I saw an article that said the home uniforms will change to "Hornets" but the roads will stay "New Orleans" and both will have an OKC patch.OKC really doesn't sound like a major league town though, I guess we'll see how things play out. How big is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markar14 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 my guess, the patch'll be based off of this alternate logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
