New Orleans Hornets Tickets The New Orleans Hornets are trying to recover after simply giving up last season in the NBA Playoffs. They are playing decent basketball, but are stuck at the bottom end of the Southwest Division even though they have a winning record. Still, people are glad to get New Orleans Hornets tickets to watch Chris Paul try and make of the best of the situation at New Orleans Arena. The situation is that the team is trying to cut salary to avoid paying the luxury tax. Paul has weapons in power forward David West and veteran shooter Peja Stojakovic. Somehow he has been able to dish out the most assists per game in the NBA with little more than these players. Emeka Okafor is a fine player, but he is not the offensive force people were hoping he would become. Paul has even made Devin Brown appear to be an acceptable starter at shooting guard, but Marcus Thornton is waiting in the wings to take over that roster spot. Paul plays most of the game, so Darren Collison is not able to play a larger role, though he has been a very good back up point guard so far in his rookie season. The New Orleans Hornets need to find another scorer to move the team scoring average up from 98 PPG to over 100. The defense is allowing over 100 PPG and will likely not improve with players like Peja and Brown playing big roles in the rotation.

New Orleans Hornets History
|
 The Charlotte Hornets joined the NBA in time for the1988-89 season, as the league added four new teams in a two-year stretch. The club suffered through the usual expansion-team doldrums for a few years but then built a solid roster thanks to productive draft picks. Within a relatively short period the Hornets assembled a star-quality nucleus of forward Larry Johnson and center Alonzo Mourning, who led the team to the playoffs in only its fifth year. By the 1996-97 season both Johnson and Mourning had been traded, but Charlotte still looked to be a team on the way up, and the Hornets responded by winning 54 games in 1996-97 and 51 this past season. Many doubted the Charlotte community's ability and willingness to support a professional basketball team. For one thing, it was a small city (although the area did have a sizable market within a few hours' drive). And North Carolina was college basketball country, where the fans' ardor for the amateur game had never translated into a similar affection for the NBA. Nevertheless, Charlotte was admitted to the league on April 22, 1987, along with Minnesota, Miami, and Orlando. Charlotte and Miami began play in 1988-89, while Minnesota and Orlando first saw action a year later. The Charlotte team adopted the name Hornets, which had historic importance in Charlotte sports history-for many years the city's minor league baseball team was known as the Hornets, and its World Football League team had carried the same name. Owner George Shinn hired Carl Scheer as the team's first general manager. As commissioner of the American Basketball Association, Scheer had successfully run the ABA's Carolina Cougars from 1970 to 1974 before moving on to revitalize the Denver Nuggets in the mid-1970s. On the other hand, he had also been associated with the dismal Los Angeles Clippers teams of the mid-1980s.
