There really is no excuse for what transpired tonight in New Orleans. Coming off what may have been their best win of the season, and facing a team struggling as much as any other in the league, the Hornets gave away what some (me) had predicted as a sure fire victory. Worst of all was […]

After losing three straight road games to the New Orleans Hornets, dating back to 2006, LeBron James came out hungry Wednesday night. In what’s becoming all too typical of the reigning MVP, James thoroughly dismantled the Hornets defense en route to a stellar 38 point, 9 assist, 6 rebound night. It sounds odd to say […]

After many years of enduring mediocrity from Chris Paul’s back court mates, Hornets fans can finally breathe easy. With Marcus Thornton’s huge performances, non-stop hustle, big plays, and constant scoring, it’s apparent he’s quickly become a quality starting shooting guard in the NBA. More importantly, he’s become The Hornets starting shooting guard. Thornton is obviously […]

If you’re looking for the Hornets player whose presence is most likely to lead to success*, your search is over. No, I’m not talking about Chris Paul, but instead a somewhat lesser known warrior. When one thinks of Aaron Gray, dominant play probably isn’t the first term that come to mind, especially since in the past he’s […]

In a game that was at times reminiscent of the 2009 first round playoff series, the Denver Nuggets thoroughly dominated the weary New Orleans Hornets, 93-80. Yet again, the Bees simply didn’t have the firepower to compete with the Nuggets. In the first half Denver pretty much imposed their will, turning a 10 point first […]

After last night I want to write a post comparing our numbers with and without a center in the game, but this is ready to go, so the center post will have to wait. A few weeks back Ryan discussed and provided a link to Dr. Dave Berri’s Short Post on the Hornets, Darius Songaila […]

Following up on the last analysis of Okafor for Chandler, we will today be looking at another aspect of Okaforce’s (No?) contributions. Emeka’s long term deal for big bucks was the primary reason he was traded away from Charlotte, and has been one the biggest concerns amongst Hornet fans since his arrival in the Big […]

Lately there has been more than a little Emeka Okafor bashing, with some even going to far as to say that an injured Tyson Chandler is better than a healthy Okafor. It’s time that we get into some real detail about Okafor’s play, and how much worse he has really been than Tyson. First let’s […]

Yet again, the Hornets lost to the surging San Antonio Spurs, who completed a season sweep of the Hornets for the second time in the last four years. Even worse, the Hornets dropped below .500 for the fist time since January 2nd. It’s becoming increasingly clear that missing their leader is wearing on the Hornets, […]

Apologies to those of you who already know all about the extremely talented Marcus “Buckets” Thornton. For the rest- It’s odd that a second round pick having one of the best seasons in a stacked class is going relatively unnoticed. Even after his franchise record setting performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers, most fans still don’t […]

The rookies gave it their all yet again, but the end result was a 115-95 whooping at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks. There were a lot of negatives so I’m going to run through them quickly first, and then get onto the good stuff so I don’t feel so depressed at the conclusion. From […]

Ever since CP3 was first injured and Darren Collison proved a capable replacement, fans have been speculating that DC2 might be the next great point guard in New Orleans. His double-doubles remind us of a time when Chris Paul, the greatest point guard on the planet, was healthy and on the court wowing us more […]

To start with let’s run down the recent happenings regarding the Hornets. Chris Paul had successful surgery on his torn meniscus, and has been rehabbing the injury twice a day. He claims his therapy is going as planned, so expect to see him back before too long. As far as the actual injury goes, I’ve […]

In the last game before the Mardi Gras break, the Bees pulled out a tough win against the reeling Boston Celtics. An optimist would call this a defensive battle, but in reality it looked more like an average Wednesday at the YMCA. The combined forty five turnovers set a season high for both teams, and […]

There were a few developments involving the Hornets yesterday, which got me thinking about Darren Collison. I realized it’s hard to judge someone objectively when you feel such a connection with their successes. But to start, let’s discuss what led me to put together this analysis. First off Chris Paul is officially underwent surgery to […]

Marcus Thornton and Darren Collison did all they could to lead another unexpected comeback against a Western Conference foe, cutting a 17 point lead to only 2 in the fourth quarter before falling off. Like so many early jumpers, the ball just didn’t bounce the right way for the Bees. The story heading in was […]

Reports are flying from Yahoo News that Hornets’ superstar guard, Chris Paul, will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery on Monday, and will miss one to two months. The injury is reportedly a partial tear of his meniscus. It’s being reported that the injury is not season ending, but is indeed more serious than the Hornets initially […]

Hey everyone. Joe Gerrity here. Niall and Ryan have asked me to come aboard and contribute more regularly, so here I am. Hope you enjoy the stuff. I’ll be doing some recaps and previews too. Also, I’m in the New Orleans area and will definitely be at the next Hornets watch party, so hopefully I’ll […]
