  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 15: Hornets @ Heat

    In a game for the Hornets to extend their winning streak, some, what I like to call, inexperienced play calling stopped the Hornets from doing that. After the game, my thought was “that’s the best play you could draw up???” The inbound to West, who holds the ball for what seems like an eternity (15.4 […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 14: Hawks @ Hornets

    I tried to post this last night but there were technical difficulties but here it is. Hornets win third in a row and the rookies played a big part in the W. I was not able to see the game but the box score was impressive. Game 14: Hawks 88 @ Hornets 96 –First time […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 13: Suns @ Hornets

    Was I watching the Hornets on TNT???? This team looked like a completely different team offensively against the Phoenix Suns as opposed to a little over a week ago when they were embarrassed in Phoenix in Byron Scott’s last game as Hornets head coach. Hornets move up to 5-8 on a 2 game win streak… […]

  • Positive Notes

    For all the negativity surrounding fans around the globe, i am one of very few fans who see some light at the end of the tunnel.. I mean i didnt want B. Scott to go. I wanted him to change something. because he and Paul were close close friends. I mean they could have at […]

  • Rant at Non-Fans about Tanking, Shameful fans, and more…

    This rant is going to be all over the place and being written late the night after I got food poisoning, but I’m tired of all the negativity and want to urge people to try to fight this negative nonsense being fed from non-fans such as YoungFella. They want to be vocal about being a […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 12: Clippers @ Hornets

    Hello all. My apologies for not doing a post-game report for the Hawks game. I actually only saw the first half then had to leave but I heard the Hornets fell apart in the fourth. So I will try not to miss another report but it’s not like I get a lot of comments on […]

  • Consequences of a Short Term CP3 Injury

    Yesterday I wrote about the likely outcome of a long term Chris Paul injury. In this article (after hearing the same “severely sprained ankle” line from GM/Coach Jeff Bower) we will be examining what the Hornets’ future holds when and if Paul returns in two weeks. As of today, the Hornets’ record stands at three wins and […]

  • Consequences of a Paul Injury

    As i watched Paul tumble to the floor of New Orleans Arena I assumed he would be OK. When he didn’t get up I began to think about life without Paul. After my two day freakout was over I found myself realizing something I never thought possible. As much as it pains me to say it, a […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 10: Blazers @ Hornets

    My apologies if this one is a little late…after coming home from the game last night, I wasn’t in a mood to write a post-game report. But now after 2 days have passed since the firing of Coach Byron Scott, here’s my take: –When I first heard Coach Scott was fired, I was in shock […]

  • Byron Scott FIRED!!!!

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 9: Hornets @ Suns

    “You need to keep up scoring with this team or this game will be over quick”…Gerry V said something along those lines in the first quarter and he was very right. The Suns use a 40 point first quarter to trample over the Hornets. The Suns were just too quick and the Hornets never caught […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 8: Hornets @ Clippers

    The Hornets returned to the Staples Center again tonight to face the other LA team, the Clippers. And the Hornets did everything they could to erase that bad loss to the Lakers last night and they did just that for the most part as the Hornets win in LA to improve to 3-5. Game 8: […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 7: Hornets @ Lakers

    Again, in case people forgot there was a Hornets game tonight because of the Saints/Panthers battle in the Dome, there was a game and yeah, I wish I had forgotten too because the game got away from the Hornets quickly in the third quarter. Game 7: Hornets 88 @ Lakers 104 –The Hornets seemed to […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 6: Raptors @ Hornets

    I only caught the first half as I was eating dinner with some friends at Chevy’s and they put the game on the television screen and I have to say I was impressed with a 2-point halftime lead. The next time I checked the score…I wish I didn’t because the Hornets were losing by 20. […]

  • Hornets coming together – hard/but can do

    I like all I’ve read on the Hornets247.com blog and after watching the Mavericks game I came away wanting to say something! Chris is Chris.  He’s everything we expected him to be, we just expected the same back up he had before.  Unfortunately, he has to wrestle with a different set of backups.  No, Byron […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 5: Mavericks @ Hornets

    The Hornets win in an OT nailbiter against the Mavericks. I only caught the second half but I truly thought the game was over after the Hornets turned it over with 15 seconds left after the Paul push-off and the West technical. But fortunately, Jason Terry missed the technical free-throw and Jose Barea missed two […]

  • Byron, its time to re-assess

    We all knew that with all the new parts to the team, some coming late in the off-season, that it was going to take some time for this team to gel. But I don’t think anyone predicted the spanking we got from the 0-3 Knicks. post game quotes from Chris Paul: “When we talk right […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 4: Hornets @ Knicks

    Now I know everyone is watching the game for the other New Orleans sports team, but in case people forgot, there was a Hornets game tonight…well, it was best to forget we had a game tonight. I tried finding a stream on the Internet on some TV viewing sites but I only caught the first […]

  • Post-Game Journal Report: Game 3: Hornets @ Celtics

    Hello all. My name is Mr. Kennedy. From now on, I’ll be giving my observations and comments after every game in the Journal section. I won’t make them too long to read but I’ll keep them short and concise to get my points across. Game 3: Hornets 87 @ Celtics 97 I’ll say it again […]

  • Testing the Mettle of a Fanbase

    Last summer was “the summer of love” for Hornets fans everywhere. The Hornets had just completed their best season in franchise history, and most of us fans thought they were just one piece away from being a serious contender for an NBA Championship. In that summer of ’08, optimism abounded after the acquisition of 2-time NBA […]
