Hornets on the Internets: Losing Streak Edition

Postgame and other links, brought to you by Raja Bell ~~flopping~~ taking the charge in the wrong direction. Happy Thanksgiving.

Dan Rasmussen's article on NOLA.com lists some post-game interviews, with the players' opinions on why they were blown out. The reasons given were a bad offense and a bad defense. Go figure. Here are the complete notes.
As evidenced by the Hornets' new 6th place spot on the Fan House power rankings today morning, this game will only strengthen people's belief that the early start was a fluke. With upcoming games against Portland (Fri), San Antonio (Sun), and Oklahoma City (Mon), that opinion may only be reinforced.
Eric Pincus of Hoopsworld has a solid article on the Hornets' continued commitment to improving their defense.
Marcus Banks, acquired in the recent Toronto deal, has been advised not to report to the team. The Hornets will continue to pay his salary of $4.75 million for the year.
Going around the NBA: with the Heat now dropping three straight, the Hornets' win over them isn't looking too special anymore. On the flip side, the Spurs advanced to 13-1, their only loss being to the New Orleans. Sunday's game is going to be crucial for the Bees to prove themselves again.
And lastly, here's a rare treat for everyone. Now that's something you don't see very often.

How did Okafor not get one blocked shot when Millsap and Jefferson clearly give amle opportunities? That’s the one thing that jumped out at me from the stat. line.

Also, I wish I had Marcus Banks’s job
