Thunder Beat the Hornets
The Thunder beat the Hornets in what can only be described as a depressing game for the Bees. They had their chances, and gave/let them them away. The Hornets took it inside early and often, and for a while it appeared that David West would prove to be too much to handle for the visitors. […]

Introducing The Save Our Hornets Foundation
The following is from SaveOurHornets.com, the official website of the Save Our Hornets Foundation: Every empty seat that we see in the Arena is a seat that could be filled with a smiling youngster. Through increased positive exposure to basketball at a young age, these fans will have a higher likelihood of attending games later […]

Magic Johnson Should Consider Buying the Hornets
The NBA is looking for a new Hornets owner, and Magic Johnson’s interest in purchasing an NBA team is well documented. His recent sale of Starbucks franchises and shares in the Lakers netted him around 100 million dollars in cash, so it’s inevitable that someone is going to ask the question of why not buy […]

Introducing Homegrown Night
The Hornets, more than any NBA team, put on quite a show for their fans. Nobody else does pregame parties every game with live music. There isn’t another team that gives free beer to their season ticket holders, while charging only a dollar for everyone else. There are inflatable games and basketball hoops outside the […]

Sonics Fans Make Me Throw Up a Little Bit in My Mouth
Take a look at any comment section of any article related to the Hornets sale and what do you see? Three hundred comments from Sonics fans about how the Hornets are moving there. They say New Orleans doesn’t have basketball history. They say we can’t support a team and point to the New Orleans Jazz […]

Knicks Continue their Domination over the Hornets
After two long years of losses, the Hornets should have wanted it more. The Knicks took them down 100-92 behind a strong performance by Amare Stoudemire. In a word, the Hornets were apathetic. Monty wasn’t aggressive late with his substitutions and was content to just let lesser players stay on while the team got closer […]

Game On: Knicks @ Hornets
Matchup: Knicks (10-9) @ Hornets (13-5) Off Efficiency: Hornets 103.6(15th), Knicks 107.7 (6th) Def Efficiency: Hornets 98.4(2nd), Knicks 105.9 (19th) Thanks to the amazing Dariusz Ejkiewicz for the Game Day Banner. The theme of the night will be conflicting styles, as the Knicks bring their fast paced offense (2nd fastest) to New Orleans (4th slowest). […]

Eff the Hornets Attendance Problem
I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Not because I’m worried about the team actually being moved, or because the seemingly arbitrary (although probably not) number of 14,735 is particularly meaningful to me. No, it’s because I’m sick of playing defense. I’m sick of having to defend New Orleans as a basketball city. […]

Hornets Beat the Bobcats
As expected, the Hornets beat the Bobcats 89-73 before what very well may have been the sparsest crowd since 2007. I’m fairly good at estimating crowd size, and it’s quite possible that everyone in attendance could have fit in the lower bowl tonight. I can’t express my frustration with the crowd issues in writing right […]

Game On: Bobcats @ Hornets
Matchup: Bobcats (6-11) @ Hornets (12-5) Off Efficiency: Hornets 103.6(15th), Bobcats 103.8 (14th) Def Efficiency: Hornets 99.2(3rd), Bobcats 104.4 (15th) Thanks to the amazing Dariusz Ejkiewicz for the Game Day Banner. The Hornets look to end a two game slide (their longest of the year) tonight against the Charlotte Bobcats. After winning 11 of their […]

43 Minutes of Crunch Time
That’s how much basketball we have watched with less than five minutes left on the clock and the Hornets within five points of their opposition. Those 43 minutes have arguably been the biggest of the year for the Bees, as they have determined games, momentum, a power ranking ascension and decline (unless Marc Stein really […]

Sipping on Some Stats
Nothing fancy here, just a little rundown of the Hornets overall stats this year. The most important thing to look at right now is the 12 wins because as we all know, making the playoffs comes first. Even though the team is currently third in the conference, and only a game out of first, they […]

Happy Thanksgiving From Hornets247
On behalf of everyone (except Michael), I want to wish all of our American readers a happy Thanksgiving. For the rest of you who may be unfamiliar with Turkey Day, it’s a time when families and strangers come together to share uncomfortable conversation while gorging themselves on foods usually reserved for Jabba the Hut. Quite […]

We Want Hornets Questions ASAP
Michael and I will be talking to Trevor Ariza and Marco Belinelli today at Rouses (4500 Tchoup), and we want your questions! I meant to post something last night, but somehow managed to overlook it. Anyway, questions asked before 6:00 will be included. The players will be there to hand out gift baskets to kids […]

Hornets Get Redemption, Beat the Mavs
The Hornets avenged their only loss of the season, taking down the Mavs 99-97 behind Marco Belinelli’s strong defense. For the second time in three nights, the Mavs took advantage of a notably slow Hornets start to take a 12-2 lead, but the Hornets would battle back in the second half. The Hornets passed their […]

Game on: Mavs @ Hornets
After their first loss of the season, the Hornets will try and get redemption against the now despised Dallas Mavericks. This game will be telling of how the Hornets will handle adversity down the road. They were bound to lose a game or two sooner or later, but what we don’t know his how they […]

With Lakers Loss, Hornets Are The NBA’s Only Undefeated Team
When the Lakers lost in Denver on Thursday night, the Hornets took the distinction of being only undefeated NBA team for the first time in their history. I’m not sure, but considering their schedule and the uncertainty that surrounded them after a poor preseason, anyone who bet on this probably made out pretty well. There […]
