Mavericks steamroll Hornets in second half in possible playoff preview
Both teams played hard. I know that sounds like a backhanded compliment, but there are 15 games scheduled tonight and this might be the only one in which both teams went after the victory with 100% intensity (at least for one half). Unfortunately for the Hornets, they were unable to come out on top due […]

Hornets surge past Suns in the 4th as CP3 takes over late
Going into the 2007-2008 season, Steve Nash was unquestionably the top point guard in the NBA according to anybody and everybody who watched the game. That year, however, CP3 exploded onto the scene, raising his game to another level, carrying the Hornets to unexpected victory after unexpected victory. In the process, he replaced Steve Nash […]

Game On: Hornets @ Suns
New Orleans Hornets (41-31, 7th in West) at Phoenix Suns (36-34, 10th) What a bittersweet night it was for the Hornets last night. They turned a certain loss into a tie, and then eventually into a win as Emeka Okafor’s miracle shot looked like a play that was stolen straight from an NCAA tournament game. […]

Nuggets three point barrage buries Hornets
Five minutes into the third quarter, Kenton Martin hit a step back, fall away jump shot over David West to put the Nuggets up by 17 points. Monty Williams couldn’t do anything but laugh; he knew that it was just one of those nights. The second and third quarters saw the Nuggets score a combined […]

The Western Conference Playoffs in a Perfect World
As we have seen for the last 5 or 6 years, the Western Conference is simply stacked with teams that can compete with anyone on any given night. While the Eastern Conference will have an eighth seed that might only have 34 or 35 victories, the West is likely to have two or three teams […]

Shorthanded Hornets fall to red hot Bulls
Conventional wisdom said that this game would be a blowout. The Bulls came in as one of the hottest teams in the league, winners of 16 of their last 17 at home and fresh off a huge victory at Miami. Meanwhile, the Hornets came into tonight down two starters, one of which just happened to […]

Game On: Hornets @ Bulls
Jarrett Jack, Marco Belinelli, Quincy Pondexter, and Willie Green. Ladies and Gentlemen, that is the perimeter rotation for the Hornets tonight. If I had told you one year ago that the Hornets would be relying on these four to go into a hostile environment against the Eastern Conference’s hottest (and perhaps best) team, would you […]

CP3 leads Hornets to big win over Memphis
That’s right, I said CP3. Christopher didn’t make the flight to Memphis; instead CP3 took the floor and led a beat up bunch to a huge 98-91 victory over the red hot Grizzlies. 23 points, 14 assists, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals, but in this game the numbers were only half the story. It is […]

CP3 has answered the New York questions, Monty has laid down the law, and the fans have done their parts by chanting the mantras. Now all that is left is the part where the Hornets get back on track, and it starts tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Hornets win tonight and they are sixth […]

Five Mantras for the frustrated Hornets fan
If you look across the NBA landscape, it is hard to find a team that has frustrated its fan base more than the New Orleans Hornets have this year. The summer started off with the CP3 drama, an assistant who didn’t want to be our Head Coach, an ownership sale that just refused to go […]

Game On: Rockets @ Hornets (Live Chat!)
The Hornets come into the game on a two-game winning streak, all alone in 5th place out West, just 2.5 behind OKC for home-court advantage in the first round. They set off on a season long five game road trip following this game, so taking advantage of a home game against a sub .500 team […]
