Hornets Defeat Blazers to Move to 8-0
It wasn’t the prettiest game of the season, but the Hornets won again to get their record to an NBA best 8-0. LaMarcus Aldridge was off all night, Brandon Roy only played 20 minutes due to a knee injury, and the Blazers as a whole just seemed fatigued, yet the Hornets just could not find […]

Game On: Blazers @ Hornets
The Hornets go for 8-0 tonight as the Blazers come to town fresh off a loss last night to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Blazers are 3-3 on the road this year and might have weak legs on the second night of a back-to-back. Every Blazer starter played 32 minutes or more last night, and […]

Before Making Next Move, Hornets Must Determine Who They Are Chasing
There is a tidal wave coming to the Western Conference, and with it there will be a shift in the balance of power. That wave is moving slowly, but make no mistake, someday it will be here; and that day might be sooner than later. The wave brings with it bright new stars in Kevin […]

Cautiously Tiptoeing Through a Field of Optimism
The most recent data shows that 98 percent of romantic relationships end at some point, and most of them end badly. The odd thing is that an even higher percent of those relationships start off so well. How can this be? When something starts off well, it seems logical to assume that things will only […]

Hornets Power Rankings- Week Two
He has Risen. After being cast aside by this writer (some say unjustly), Jason Smith had perhaps the two best games of his young career to make all of us Believers. He answered our prayers with 18-foot jumpers that barely even touched the net. He miraculously snatched down rebounds and parted the Miami Heat defense […]

Hornets Power Rankings- Week One
Other sites have their weekly NBA rankings, speculating on how each team stacks up against each other based on some subjective formula and who knows what other criteria. I am not going to pretend like I have watched all 30 NBA teams closely enough to do that with any integrity, but I have watched every […]

Game On: Nuggets @ Hornets
The Hornets look to get out to a 2-0 start this season as they host the Denver Nuggets tonight in a game that will feature stars Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul. Since “The Decision†and the rumored Big Apple toast at Carmelo Anthony’s wedding, both Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony have been the subject of […]

Could 2010-11 Be a Record Breaking Season for CP3?
Last night against the Milwaukee Bucks, the New Orleans Hornets made 34 field goals. Chris Paul had six of those and of the other 28; he assisted on 16 of them. And although those numbers were impressive, he easily could have registered 20+ assists if Belinelli and Ariza were able to knock down some wide-open […]

Game On: Hornets @ Bobcats
The Hornets travel to Charlotte for a rare late morning game (10 CST). Monty stated both before and after the Grizzlies game that he wants to get the starters more minutes as the preseason winds down, so we can expect to see 25-30 minutes from the likes of Belinelli, Ariza, and CP3. Regarding Okafor and […]

Mensah-Bonsu led Hornets fall to Grizzlies
The Hornets led 74-67 heading into the 4th quarter and that is when rookie Xavier Henry and OJ Mayo came to life. The two were responsible for scoring or assisting on all of the Grizzlies points during a 10-2 run that gave Memphis the lead that they would never relinquish. Interestingly enough, the Hornets starters […]

Game On: Hornets @ Grizzlies
The Hornets take on Memphis tonight at the FedEx Forum and are likely to be without David West yet again. The good news, however, is that it looks like newly acquired point guard Curtis Jerrells will be in uniform and available. In addition, the bench will be a little shorter as both Mustafa Shakur and […]

Roster Spots Up for Grabs as Hornets Fall to Hawks
No David West, no Emeka Okafor, and Chris Paul only played 11 minutes. Tonight’s game was about figuring out who was qualified to occupy those last few seats at the end of the bench and some guys played better than others in the Hornets 84-74 loss on Saturday night. Willie Green probably locked up the […]
