Because I am uncreative, unthoughtful, and not very organized I found myself is Hallmark on February 13th at about 4 P.M. searching for a card that told my fiancée everything I had not said to her over the past 364 days. I was joined by about thirty other men with the same idea, as we […]

  To me, the single greatest invention of the last decade has been ESPN’s Trade Machine. It gives stat geeks like me a chance to play around with things that only used to happen when we got bored with NBA Live/2K. One of the things I’ve been playing around with lately has been Tracy McGrady […]

I have been a fan of the game for 18 years. I have been a fan of the hornets for ten. I though I had seen it all in terms of a basketball fan’s emotion, but this season is, by far, the most confusing and strange. Now, the all star break is over and I […]

           He was a 2-time all-American and an academic all-American at wake forest, he was selected 4th overall by the New Orleans Hornets in the 2005 NBA draft, he won the NBA’s community assist award for his charitable initiatives, he won gold in the 2008 Beijing Olympic games,he leads the league in steals, he is […]

  As the trade deadline looms Hornets fans spend countless hours postulating trade scenarios, with a hope of improving the team in some way, shape, or form. Some desire to make trades that improve the team this year by adding a missing piece that could get us into the playoffs. Others seek long term help, […]

Dear Hornets247 readers, Let me first describe how big basketball and the Hornets are in this country. (the cheese scoffing, weed smoking, clog wearing people of Holland) There are approximately sixteen million people living in such a geographically compact area, so small we’d be hard pressed to match Louisiana. We love our sports though, we […]

Good Morning( or Evening)! I am Nico from the Philippines, and I am an avid fan. I have been posting a lot of fan posts before @ www.atthehive.com and just recently started posting journals here @www.hornets247.com. Believe it or not, I became a fan of the New Orleans Hornets(then Charlotte) because of Baron Davis. I […]

Draw your memories back to a clearer, happier time when the Hornets were rolling towards the 2007-08 playoffs. Great is it not? In the midst of all financial turmoil, Chris Paul injuries and on court inconsistencies I felt that too much time and thought was being placed in the bad and not the good. Now […]

Fairy Tales… we all loved them when we were younger, and most of us still love them today. Remember what you felt like when Pinocchio transformed into a real boy?, or when Prince Charming’s kiss brought Snow White back to life? The 2007-2008 New Orleans Hornets had a similar story. After Hurricane Katrina left New […]

Many of you are wondering how and why peja plays so differently without chris paul and i’m gonna try to shed some light into the discussion for my journal entry. With CP in the game Peja just sits back there is no motivation he’s maybe the 3rd through 5th scoring option so he just gets […]

I’ve been a Hornets fan for as long as I can remember. I loved the days of Glen Rice and company. When Rice left I went through years where I followed the team but could not get as excited. Then we drafted a young point guard out of Wake Forest. I quickly became infatuated with […]

*Warning: This post is very personal* To me, basketball is more than just a game. It will always be more than a game to me. I went through a rough patch in my life where everything seemed bleak and I had no reason to be excited except for the Hornets game. Every single day, I […]

Hi Hornets World! First of all let me say that my English isn’t good! I’m from Portugal and I’m one of the few Hornets fan in my country. I watch most of the games, but there is a handicap, because Hornets games (at home) start at 1 a.m. in Portugal… I start to watch NBA […]

Here is my honest confession: I am a die-hard sports fan, I love my hometown NFL team (I began rooting for them when they were 2-14 and never stopped even when they were cover-your-eyes awful), and yet, were it not for the commercials, I may not have watched the Super Bowl. How does this add up? […]

Now lets see how the rookies respond with increased playing time and if Byron Scott was a real idiot. He wouldn’t even let these guys dress out. I think Bower will come up with a plan to handle Paul’s abscence.

It’s pretty well known that the Hornets feature an other-worldly talent at point guard in Chris Paul. This journal is in no way an indictment on him or the way he plays. If he continues his career at the kind of level of production we’ve all become accustomed, who knows what will be said about CP […]

Nola.com is reporting that Devin Brown is being traded for Aaron Gray http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ssf/2010/01/new_orleans_hornets_trading_de.html here is the scouting report on him A big, slow center who likes to play on the block, Gray’s best skill is his ability to pass out of the post. If it were accompanied by scoring ability, he’d be a tremendous force […]

Hornets lose in an OT thriller against the Nuggets @ Denver. Game 43: Hornets 110 @ Nuggets 116 –Even without David West, the Hornets held their own tonight against the Nuggets, at Denver mind you. After the first quarter, I knew it was going to be a high scoring game after the Hornets led by […]

POSE KNOWS…AGAIN!!! James Posey is credited with the game-winning layup for the second straight game. Hornets knew they had to step it up with David West out with he sprained his ankle late in the second quarter. Game 42: Hornets 96 @ Wolves 94 –With a team that has a record of 9-35, this should […]
