PrintYour morning links. Happy National Bird Day
- Read more about National Bird Day here.
- The Hornets waived Pops Mensah-Bonsu yesterday afternoon, bringing the roster count to 14. Marcus Banks still remains a Hornets, more than a month after his arrival from Toronto. D.J. Mbenga is also on a non-guaranteed till January contract, so we'll keep an eye on him as well.
- The Hornets are nearing the attendance benchmark by the game. Over the next 6 home games, the team must draw a combined 88,187 fans, or 14,698 per game. That mark is certainly very achievable.
- A young professionals consortium is chipping in to help the attendance cause.

What I found most interesting, however, was the tidbit at the bottom with Monty praising Marcus Thornton despite his recent shooting woes.
The Attendance Issue
Even though they said 13,000 were at the game against Philly, it really didn’t look or feel like that many. But I could care less so long as the benchmark is met and the Hornets are allowed more time to figure this thing out. I really did question whether the big people in the city cared about the team, and although there’s not an overwhelming show of support in terms of a packed house or anything like that, I think most everyone is doing their part and that’s encouraging to see.
