Top 5 Hornets Memories
I can’t think of a more exciting and sad moment in my sports fan life than right now. The New Orleans Hornets will no longer exist and the New Orleans Pelicans will be the replacement. It’s strange for so many reasons, but the main of which is connection. A connection to a basketball team is […]

Hornets lose to Mavericks and lock in 5th worst record in the league
27-55. Not the worst record the Hornets have ever had. Nothing to be happy about either. The team was gutted by injuries, and it showed tonight as the Hornets weren’t even able to do what they’d been good at all season on offense – shooting – and basically lived on a steady diet of Gordon […]

Final Game: Hornets @ Mavericks
The season has boiled down to a nearly(yes, nearly. see bottom of post for lottery placement implications) meaningless game between two teams that aren’t going anywhere. It’s not really a fantastic way to say goodbye to the brand so many of us have happily followed, but in a lot of ways, it’s the best way […]

Mavericks’ interior dominance leads to 107-89 Hornets loss
The Hornets send their fans home for the summer with a bitter taste in their mouths, never coming close to victory. While I admitted in tonight’s game preview that I was not exactly rooting for a Hornets victory, I was certainly hoping for a better showing than the one I saw tonight. The New Orleans […]

Game On: Mavericks @ Hornets
New Orleans hosts Dallas tonight in their last home game ever as the Hornets. The Dallas Mavericks enter tonight’s game all but locked into their place in the standings as the second best lottery team (likely equating to the 13th pick in the draft). The only way that they could move from that spot would […]

Clippers Slip Past Hornets
I don’t even know what to say first, so I’m just going to say bravo to the team. They were overmatched, and though they lost, the took it to the Clippers in an effort that, while flawed, was praise-worthy. Good job, fellas. The New Orleans Hornets Pelicans are going to cause some headaches for other […]

Game On: Clippers @ Hornets
The New Orleans Hornets tip-off at 7 CDT (UTC -5) in their penultimate home game as they host the ever hate-i-er Los Angeles Clippers. The game is on Fox Sports New Orleans and the Hornets Radio Network. There are give-aways at tonight’s and Sunday’s games, and all Hornets merchandise is 75% off. The Clippers come […]

Sacramento Runs Away from the Hornets 121-110
From the opening tip you could tell that Sacramento was going to make the Hornets play their style of basketball, and it was then that you knew the Hornets had no chance in this game. The Hornets came into this game ranked 30th in pace, primarily because they don’t have the athletes to get out […]
-
Game On: Hornets @ Kings
I have wrote about it, tweeted about it, and talked about it numerous times on the podcast – tonight’s game is huge when it comes to lottery implications. But as much as some of us think about the May 21st Lottery, that is the furthest thing from the minds of Hornets players. They are trying […]

Kobe, Lakers Too Much For Hornets in the 4th Quarter
There’s going to be outcry over the officiating in the Hornets 104-96 loss to the Lakers. I’m not going to talk specifically on that tonight as, frankly, it doesn’t interest me much but I do want to say this: Officiating is, at times, bad in every sport at every level. If calls aren’t going your […]
-
Game On: Hornets @ Lakers
From here on out every game is a must win for the Lakers; depending on your opinion of tanking, every game might be a must lose for the Hornets. Normally, the pro-tanking fan set that aside against the Lakers but the fans on that side of the debate (which I bet the majority of you […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 129: The Gordon-Monty Eruption
Michael and I recap the Jazz and Phoenix games, including getting Michael’s eyewitness account of the shouting match between Monty Williams and Eric Gordon on the sidelines in Utah. Ugly. Then we talk about the myriad of point guard options that may be available this summer, including Jennings, Marcus Smart, Bledsoe, Rajon Rondo, Trey Burke, […]

They fought over Eric Gordon, and now they fight for Lottery Balls. Coincidence?

Hornets Bench a No-Show as Jazz Pull Away in the 4th
A familiar pattern reared its ugly head tonight as the Hornets starting lineup got the team out to a nice lead at the end of one quarter before the bench came in and absolutely killed all the momentum. The Hornets haven’t won a road game since the All-Star break, and the bench is as much […]
-
Game On: Hornets @ Jazz
This is practically a must-win for the Jazz if they want to win the eight seed out West. Meanwhile, the Hornets are looking to get their first road win since the All-Star break tonight. A couple things to watch for tonight include the newer, more aggressive Eric Gordon, Monty’s trapping defense, Darius Miller and Brian […]
