Hornets Lose a Whacky One to the Celtics
The Hornets lost to the Celtics 89-85 in a high energy affair that saw the previously red-hot Chris Paul miss every shot. David West and Marco Belinelli combined for 55 of the Hornets 85 points, but that wasn’t enough to overcome a third quarter collapse and some interesting calls. Marco Belinelli took three of the […]

The Hornets’ Road to the Playoffs
With 27 days left in the regular season, the Hornets face a challenging, but sparse schedule. They have played a league high 70 games already, so they have a league low 12 left. Theoretically, that should make the always difficult task of keeping starters rested a little bit easer for rookie coach Monty Williams. Unfortunately […]

Hornets Beat the Suns Behind Retro Chris Paul
Chris Paul is unconscious right now. I’m not a doctor, but apparently concussions aren’t all bad. He went for 26 points on 9-16 shooting, to go with 9 assists versus 1 turnovers, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals, to lead the Hornets to a 100-95 victory over the Phoenix Suns. This guy is indistinguishable from the […]

Hornets Lost to the Knicks or Something, But it’s Mardi Gras, So Whatever
The Hornets lost big to the Knicks tonight, but it’s hard to get too hung up on it. Call me a homer. Call me a fool. Call me whatever you want, actually. Tonight was not a true representation of the two teams that faced off against each other. The Hornets are a better team than […]

Paul, Hornets Falter Late in Loss to Rockets
The Houston Rockets beat the Hornets 91-89 behind a stupidly efficient night by Kevin Martin (33 points on 15 shots), a not so efficient night from Chris Paul (6 points on 2-12 shooting), and an over-reliance on Willie Green in the fourth quarter. If those three things never come together during one game again, it […]

Farewell Marcus Thornton
When the Hornets began taking down signs featuring their nearly homegrown star, Marcus Thornton, most of us knew that it was time to start letting go. Sure, we pretended that it was just a coincidence that the Hornets only homegrown player was no longer a part of their marketing to a fan base who regarded […]

Lakers Beat the Hornets Behind Gasol, Zebras
