Benson said he is also trying to change the name of the NBA team to better fit the ambience, culture and charm of New Orleans. "We need to find a name like (Jazz)," Benson said, referring to New Orleans first NBA team that relocated to Salt Lake City in 1979. "Whether we can get that or let us use that, you've got to know we're working on it. We'd like to change it tomorrow. We have not gotten that approved, but we're not letting up on it, either. Because we've got a good relationship with the commissioner and his people and we're going to be on them daily to do something."

Last year was last year. It's sometimes easy to do well on a team that's not good or not that great.

Chris Paul on Marcus Thornton.

Nuggets 118, Lakers 112

So the Hornets are the last undefeated. Doesn't actually mean anything, but it's the first time in franchise history. And after that whole offseason thing, it's cool to see. Some early season props to Coach Monty Williams.
