Game On: Pacers @ Hornets
Last time these two teams met, the Hornets suffered a heartbreaking loss in overtime, as Paul George sank nine 3’s to lead Indiana to a 115-107 victory. The Hornets were on a four game losing streak at the time and seemed to have the game in hand with about four minutes left in the 4th, […]

Michael and I recap the last two games, and now that Anthony Davis is playing, we get to start talking about Anthony Davis and what he’s doing right and wrong on the court. Yay!

Hornets Forget to Bring their Offense to LA, Fall to Clippers
Just one night removed from some exciting basketball that saw this Hornets offense seemingly take a step towards respectability, they managed to have a game where they took an even larger leap back. Robin Lopez and Anthony Davis punished the Clippers inside during stretches, but the perimeter players couldn’t seem to get out of their […]

Hornets Comeback Bid Falls Short in Loss to Warriors
Yet again, the energy was there from this young team on the road and after Anthony Davis sunk a free throw to tie the game at 92 with 4:07 left, you had the feeling that they were going to snap their seven-game losing streak. But it wasn’t to be. The Warriors controlled the boards late […]

Game On: Hornets @ Warriors
Warriors…. Come out to Play-yay! Be careful what you wish for, because this Warriors team might be playing its best basketball since the Dallas playoff series back in 2007. The Warriors have won 11 out of their last 14 games, with seven of those wins coming on the road. They are playing fantastic defense […]

Following Eric Gordon’s Twitter Account
Most of us are following Eric Gordon’s confusing, hilarious and occasionally frustrating twitter account, which recently had a 124 character tweet that’s gotten the Hornets247 offices scrambling. Some of us are desperately looking to scrounge up more sass (because we can never be satisfied no matter what), others are replacing Christmas trees with Eric Gordon fatheads (because […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 105: Is Vasquez Selfish?
Michael and I spend a lot of time talking about Vasquez, his game, his numbers, and his possible impact on Austin Rivers development going forward. Then Michael calls out Anthony Davis, we take turns calling out every player on this team that spends time at small forward, trash the team’s defense, and stare dreamily at […]

Hornets Lose by 1. What was that last play?
The Hornets committed a games worth of CP3-era turnovers in the first half, handing the ball to the Blazers 11 times. Six of them were tossed directly to the Blazers, resulting in transition scoring that the Hornets couldn’t match. The worst part of the first half, however, was the perimeter defense. The Blazers took twelve […]

Hornets fall to Thunder 92-88 in hard-fought defensive battle
In a game that was far closer than most likely imagined, New Orleans simply could not keep up with the star power of Oklahoma City down the stretch. As brutal as last night’s game was to sit through was as fun as tonight’s game was to watch. After getting blown out in their first two […]

Game On: Hornets @ Thunder
The Hornets make their first trip of the season to Oklahoma City for their third meeting with the Thunder overall. After falling to the Thunder twice at home over the past 30 days by 15 and 21 points, the Hornets will attempt to avenge those losses in Oklahoma City, which would also snap a four-game […]

Hornets Lose at Home to the Offensively Challenged Wizards
“We played down to their level.” That was the word coming out of the locker room, as Jason Smith pointed out something glaringly obvious, yet completely unexplanable. How could a team with the worst record in the Western Conference think that they can come into any game and take an opponent lightly? How can you […]

Hornets Lose to Heat by 16 After Poor Second Quarter
The New Orleans Hornets fall to 5-14, 1-3 on the week, after a 16 point loss to Miami after being outscored by 18 in the second quarter. The Hornets managed to keep the Heat from taking advantage of poor three point defense, but the Hornets also failed to take advantage of the same weakness of […]

Game On: Hornets Visit the Heat
The short-handed New Orleans Hornets perhaps find themselves ready to take advantage suddenly struggling Heat, who are on their first losing streak of the season (2 games). This is by no means claiming that the Hornets are favored, but the gap between the Gordon+Davis-less Hornets and the team hosting them on the border of Biscayne […]
