Because hornets are yellow not teal?

A combination of the actual natural color of the Hornet, the Alien Spit Acid Puke combined with the NBA colored Teal hornet combining both the Alien Spit Acid Puke with the NBA hornet teal to create a disgustingly yet, fashionably bad, but in a way burning my TV screen jersey.

Don't hate on teal.

Besides, not all hornets are yellow:

Ronnie Price looked real good out there. I hope Mike is OK, and hope Justin isn't cut tomorrow. Or at all for that matter!
 
My Grades I Think everyone will agree

The team really looked great last night i havent seen ball like that from the kings in a long time... there was great moving without the ball on offense kinda reminded me of the Rick A. offense... good passing... even better shooting 56% ! ! ! Artests shot was finally drop'n although he didnt have any steals or blks he still did a good job on def.

Martin is just going continue to improve and grow with time and is totally ready to step in and shine this year... with his range along with bibbys,and even Artest and Millers improving 3pt range... the kings should really be able to punish teams if they try to double anyone... especialy Artest he should be able to pound away with our guys waiting on the 3pt line for the double team...

a few surprises and bright spots were the team rallying around Musselman and not letting that get in the way... and RONNIE PRICE WOW ! ! ! Hart has got to be worried.... if Ronnie can build off this game and improve his shot. He could be a great energy guy off the bench to back up bibby... bummer to lose Bibby(i think he will be ok) but it gave us all a chance to see Price get some great min. with the starters...

Salmons is looking like a great depth move... good ball handleing... good def. and pretty good shot... plus lots of hustle... so far looking like a good move for us... especialy if he improves at all...

the only cons and sore spots are Thomas's freethrows ouch 2 for 7 i think... if hes gonna start those add up and will haunt you in tight games...

the other one being the kings still really lack size and muscle on the front line...along with shotblocking and reb.
this is going to have to be addressed now or mid season if we are to have a real shot at being among the big boys in the playoffs...

my hope is that thomas can play well enough to sell himself to a team for a trade... im sure Mussleman and Petrie know this is a serious issue and will make it happen if we are making a playoff run...

no individual grades here everyone showed they can help... minus J.Williams and Amundson this guys are projects and wont be able to really help this year... i would like to see williams make the team but i still just dont see the kings drop'n potato heads 3.5 mill for him... potato head can at the very least be a big that can be used to foul shaq or something like that...

GREAT GAME ALL AROUND HOPE THIS WAS A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME....

The only thing that scares me at this point is that we don't show any offensive "sets". It seems very one-on-one oriented. There have been assists, but they don't seem to come out of a set, but rather out of the moment.

I counted the number of post plays we've actually set up and run, and the number was pathetic. In one game we had 3 drawn post plays.

It's working for us in the preseason ... and it may work in the regular season, but this is not the type of sustainable flow that wins championships. I might be wrong, but I just don't see this working. It's too "up and down" for my taste.

We've looked good and it's seems to be working, but I just don't believe this type of basketball can be sustained.
 
yeah but the great passing and team play really allowed us to have a lot of really great looks... lots of hustle and great moves opened it up

Tonight we looked really nice, but it isn't often a team shoots 56% as a whole.

New Orleans is on planet "you-suck-really-bad" ... you don't do this to a decent team or a team that focuses on defense.

We HAVE to get it inside. Outside shooting is usually a by-product of an efficient post game or an amazing passer. In my opinion, we've shown we've got neither.

Artest should be in the post a lot more often than he is. SAR shouldn't be standing on the 3 point line. What are we doing posting Bibby up?
