  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 27: Warriors @ Hornets

    Hornets get a nice W at home against the Warriors. I was at the game and I have to say I got scared after the 3 missed free throws from Paul but Paul made it up by draining a jumper to seal the win at the hive. Hornets are now 13-14…1 win away from 500 […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 26: Hornets @ Raptors

    Hornets could not get it done on Sunday @ Toronto to take on the Raptors. This game was very winnable and the last play left me very confused (more on that below). Game 26: Hornets 92 @ Raptors 98 –The Raptors were missing shots and the Hornets had chances to come back but could not […]

  • Contenders or Pretenders?

    What do you get when you cross the league’s best point guard with an All-Star power forward and a top-ten center? It’s hard to say. After 25 games the Hornets are as much of a mystery as they were entering the season. Picked to finish anywhere from third to tenth in the west by experts, […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 25: Nuggets @ Hornets

    Chris Paul gave out assists in the first half and gave out points in the second half…now I know that doesn’t really sound correct, but CP gave an all-star MVP performance tonight against a top team in the West as the Hornets defeated the Nuggets. CP said this was another W on their record but […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 24: Pistons @ Hornets

    Hornets get a much-needed win defeating the Detroit Pistons. West shined big tonight as the Hornets get another W at home. Game 24: Pistons 87 @ Hornets 95 –Hornets fell behind in the second quarter, being outscored 27-17. But the Hornets did not fall back in the past 2 losses…Hornets outscored the Pistons 28-18 in […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 23: Hornets @ Mavericks

    Even though coming back from a 21 point deficit made the game interesting, it was not enough to get the W as the Hornets fall in Dallas. Barea and Terry’s free throws at the end were too much for the Hornets to handle. Hornets fall to 10-13. Game 23: Hornets 90 @ Mavericks 24 –What […]

  • Evaluating and Improving the Hornets

    With one quarter of the NBA season in the rearview mirror, we have been completely silenced about our team’s title chances. Only the most optimistic, myself included, thought the Hornets really had a chance at competing this year and even then only if a number of things went perfectly. With all the recent talk about […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 22: Knicks @ Hornets

    The Hornets must have forgotten the game was 48 minutes instead of 43…because it seemed like the Hornets took the last five minutes off. Off the record, the Hornets lost a game that they should have won…and I am disgusted by their performance, or lack of it… Game 22: Knicks 113 @ Hornets 96 –Hornets […]

  • Observations on Hornets – T-Wolves

    Hey everybody, I started writing a comment on the recap, but it got obnoxiously long, so I decided to make it my first journal entry. Nothing special, just some thoughts I had throughout the game. Hope you enjoy. Those charges Posey took were huge, though pretty questionable. I wasn’t even mad Posey was in it […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 21: Hornets @ Wolves

    Another game…another close W by the Bees. Hornets rally back from 15 and win by 1 point against the Wolves. Hornets now 10 – 11 overall. Game 21: Hornets 97 @ Wolves 96 Against a 3-19 team like the Timberwolves, the Hornets should not have won by 1 point nor should they have been behind […]

  • First Quarter Grades

    Twenty games have come and gone in this NBA season and it’s time to evaluate how all the New Orleans Hornets’ players have performed. No need to waste any time, so here we go: Hilton Armstrong: He’s shown almost no improvement in his three plus years in the league and at this point it doesn’t […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 20: Kings @ Hornets

    WHEW…Hornets win in one of the many nailbiters already this season by defeating the Kings at the Hive to improve to 8-2 at the N.O. Arena and 9-11 overall. Game 20: Kings 94 @ Hornets 96 –Hornets led by 10 at the end of the first, tied at the end of the half, trail by […]

  • The Two Smartest NBA Players in the Game

    When judging who the smartest player in the NBA today is, it’s easiest to break down the award into two different ones. On-court and off-court intelligence are very different, useful skills for winning in the NBA. If you love watching other sports like UFC, you may consider purchasing UFC Tickets and enjoy the thrill of […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 19: Wolves @ Hornets

    Hornets get a much needed win with some much needed help from a returning Chris Paul. The speculation that Paul would return in 10 days turned into a few days as Paul shined in his return to the court since his ankle injury just eight games ago. I’m glad Paul is back to help on […]

  • Wake Up Mr. West

    For some reason, David West changed his theme song this year. His old one, a three second snip by Kanye West, told him to “Wake up Mr. West.” It’s time for D-West to bring back the classic old song, because his alarm clock isn’t doing its job. In the past five season David West has gone from an […]

  • Paul expected back soon

    Expect to see Chris Paul, the star point guard of the New Orleans Hornets return from his injury shortly. As Ryan noted, prior to the Lakers game on Tuesday, Paul was seen on the court shooting jump shots. He also was working on his dribbling and some spin moves, while moving at a good pace. The inflatable […]

  • Rookie Comparison: Darren Collison vs Chris Paul

    Here in New Orleans, we know point guards. Let’s face it—In Chris Paul, we have the best one in the league. CP3 has been so dominant in his short career that as of now his only real equals statistically are historically great players such as Oscar Robinson and Magic Johnson. So why am I proposing that […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 18: Hornets @ Lakers

    Hornets stayed in it in the first quarter but was outscored in the second quarter and fell behind big in the second quarter to lose in LA, 110 – 99. The Lakers showed why they are the defending champs tonight. Game 18: Hornets 99 @ Lakers 110 –If the Hornets could not defeat the Lakers […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 17: Hornets @ Kings

    The Hornets could not detrone the Kings in Sactown, losing 112-96. Even when it seemed like the Hornets rallied back and got a good run going, the Kings either came back with the three ball or going to the hoop. This is a tough loss against a team without Kevin Martin, the team’s leading scorer […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 16: Bucks @ Hornets

    Hornets win in an overtime thriller at the Hive. Hornets started out slow but came alive in the third quarter and played well enough in the fourth to force the game into OT. Hornets are now 8-9. Game 16: Bucks 99 @ Hornets 102 –Darren Collison is the one of the main reasons we won […]
