In two preseason games (both starts), he averaged 3.5 points and 4.5 rebounds. It appears that Gustavo Ayon will be utilized more often as he is […]

Game On: Suns at Hornets
The Hornets face off against the Suns for the second time this young season. They’re missing Eric Gordon, who has officially been declared out, but they get Jarret Jack this time around. In the 3-on-3 previewing the game we talked about Jack vs Nash at point and whether or not it would be crazy to […]

Suns at Hornets: 3-on-3
In the first of our two game-day previews (something we’ll be doing all year long for home games), we’ll be using ESPN’s 3-on-3 format to get three perspectives on three different questions relating to the game. Today we welcome Mason Ginsberg to the show. 1. What should the Hornets have learned from the game these […]

Sources: Third Time is a Charm
Allow me to be the first one to admit that I drastically underestimated our* ability to win games this year when making my predictions about how we would fare. Originally ESPN.com asked nearly everyone in their arsenal to predict win total for every team in the league. At the time, I was under the impression […]

Hornets Obliterate Celtics
Despite Eric Gordon being a late scratch with a bruised knee (nothing serious), the Hornets gave the opening night sell-out crowd just about everything they could ask for. Monty’s squad gave 48 tough minutes and after a brief offensive dry-spell in the beginning, they lead for right around ten points throughout the rest of the […]

Game On: Celtics at Hornets
(update- Eric Gordon will not play because of a bruised right knee. I no longer expect a blowout, just a close win.) The Hornets will look to continue in their quest to go undefeated tonight against a win-less Celtics team. Boston is missing Paul Pierce and coming off a loss last night against the Heat […]

Celtics at Hornets: 3-on-3
In addition to our game-on post, Hornets247 will utilize the TrueHoop Network’s 3-on-3 format to preview games. Hope you enjoy. It’s just one of many regular features we will be rolling out/bringing back over the next few weeks. 1.) What kind of crowd can we expect tonight? Michael McNamara: I think the Hive will be […]

Video: Chris Trew on Opening Day at the Hive
The only comment I feel that needs to be attached to this video is the fantastic news that Chris Trew and Jonathan Evans (his excellent cameraman and video editor) will be working with Hornets247 going forward. BOOM!

Joe Gerrity to Host “Hornets Report” On WGSO
Early last summer I decided that the Hornets needed another show exclusively about them. Right now, the only shows in New Orleans that focus entirely about the Hornets/NBA are affiliated in some way with the Hornets brand, either because they are broadcast on the Hornets TV station or because they are broadcast on the Hornets […]

If the Hornets Were to Rebrand…
This is what the result should look like. Hat tip to bigdub81 over at Hornets Report. Totally New Orleans. I’d suggest going over there for the full sized image. This one has been shrunk.

Quincy Pondexter Injured in Win Over Memphis?
((new update– J. Michael says it’s not serious and that Pondexter should be ready to go by the season opener)) (update: Quincy tweeted this not too long ago– “Great team win tonight. Now it’s time to get this regular season started #HORNETSNATION #imin” That doesn’t sound like someone too concerned about his knee, but it’s […]

Bullets From the Hornets Preseason Win Over the Grizzlies
Hornets beat the Grizzlies 95-80. Here’s what you need to know. Player Notes Chris Kaman can put the ball in the bucket. I underestimated just how good he actually is down low. He also has a sweet Chewbacca noise that plays after he scores. Nice. It’s my new favorite sound. Also, he’s a really good […]

Hornets Ditch the Pregame Prayer, Add a Band
The Hornets, at least for now, have apparently ditched the pre-game invocation that had been part of the franchise for years under the rule of George Shinn, and then briefly last year after the NBA purchased the team. I talked about some of the issues people could potentially have with the prayer last year, and […]

Preseason Game On: Grizzlies @ Hornets
Buzzfest. Live music. Beer. Hugo. Honeybees. Basketball. Those are the things that you will miss if you don’t come to the first and final preseason game at The Hive tonight. Sure, it’s only preseason, but this is your first chance to really see Eric Gordon/Commissioner Gordon/Air Gordon, Chris Kaman, and Al-Farouq Aminu playing in person. […]

Videos: Chris Kaman, Monty, and the Scrimmage
In the last practice at the Alario Center before the last preseason game of the Hornets hectic preseason, I finally asked Chris Kaman the all-important question about his desired nickname. Answer—He doesn’t care. He’s a character, and I look forward to seeing what he brings to the locker room this year. Monty Williams talks a […]

The Trevor Ariza Conundrum
The Hornets have a problem of sorts. It’s not a problem in the sense that it can’t be solved, or that it’s going to ruin their future, but it’s a problem nonetheless. They have Quincy Pondexter and Al-Farouq Aminu, two young guys who both right now fit most naturally at the three, sitting on the […]

Don’t Tell Me About Chris Paul
True Story– One time I cared about Chris Paul. Now I don’t. It’s nothing personal, since I find him to be a great basketball player and a great person, but he’s no longer a Hornet. Not sure if you knew this about me, but I’m a Hornets fan. I know about Chris Paul. Everyone else is […]

Hornets Waive Three, Roster Stands at 16
The Hornets announced today that they have requested waivers on guard Justin Dentmon, guard Terrico White and forward Moses Ehambe, cutting the roster to 16 just nine days before the first regular season game of the year. Dentmon, a University of Washington product, played five minutes in last night’s 97-90 win over Memphis, collecting one […]
