My League Pass almost always shows the broadcast for the team opposite the Hornets, so I’m going to make note of some of my favorite bits from the announcers here. (Note: All my journals will be late as I’m almost always watching the game the following morning. I perform live comedy most nights in Austin, […]

With the slow start behind us, we’ve yet again gone 4-1 in our last 5 games which gives us a record of 13-7 (4th West, 2nd Southwest). Hornets’ last 5 games: vs. Phoenix, W 104-91 vs. Memphis, W 106-87 vs. Charlotte, W 105-89 at Boston, L 82-94 at Toronto, W 99-91 Maybe it’s just me but it […]

If you were the Hornets GM, what moves would you make to try to make our team a contender THIS YEAR? It was a contention in the off-season after last year that we were missing a shooting guard, and we definitely still are. Who would you get? And how would you go about getting them? […]

Ok, I didn’t understand why Mike James wasn’t playing and the Hornets were allowing Devin Brown to run the point guard position in the first place. So then, the Hornets go out and make moves to get a (another) solid back-up point guard but yet Devin Brown is still the second string point guard… WHY?! […]

First of all, I recognize this is a New Orleans Hornets blog. With that, I understand that there will be some bias toward the four Hornets that are up for all-star positions. What I’d like is for everyone to put aside their team biases, and come with an objective list of who would be on […]

Paul had a pretty awesome game against the Bobcats. His continued excellence has left me spoiled: I take for granted what Chris Paul does for this team. Recently a friend of mine asked me what made Paul so special. I thought I’d share the answer. Against the Bobcats, Paul had 15 points on 5-5 shooting, […]

Well well… things get a little more interesting.  The Daniels pickup crept up on me because I’d been mainly looking at who was available on the free agent wire… but I like this acquisition. Pros – He’s got good size, can play both guard spots, and generally is a good defender.  There’s really only one […]

From www.ballineurope.com, an interesting paragraph on Pargo’s impact in Russia: Jannero Pargo was expected to be the shiniest star coming from the NBA, close as he was to winning the NBA’s Sixth Man Award last year with the New Orleans Hornets. Considering how many top players Dynamo Moscow has, it was difficult to imagine more […]

Well, we got off to a rocky start at 5-5 but we’ve gone 4-1 in our last 5 games giving us a record of 9-6 (7th West, 2nd Southwest). Hornets’ last 5 games (4-1): at Oklahoma City, W 105-80 vs. Oklahoma City, W 109-97 at Los Angeles Clippers, W 99-87 at Denver, W 105-101 at […]

In the last 5 or so years, professional athletes have had a rash of gun-related problems that have really come to the forefront of sports news coverage. Even our own beloved Hornets are not immune to this issue, as Rasual Butler can attest. Given this weekend’s issues with Plaxico Burress accidently shooting himself in a […]

Ok I’m watching the game Blazers vs Hornets game on League Pass right now. There’s currently 4:07 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. Already their commentators have reminded me how much I hate them and how bad they suck. Here’s some key points: Our Power Forward is this Doug West guy. Hmm he apparently has […]

Some of you may know, I’ll be making a trip from Las Vegas tomorrow from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to see my very first Hornet’s Game, or even real NBA Season game. I’m extremely excited. I don’t have CST on League Pass so, If any of you guys happen to see me on TV […]

Obviously we’re not going to get too fired up about a blowout win over a team that probably would finish middle-of-the-pack in the Big Sky Conference… but there’s something refreshing about things going the way they’re supposed to.  The bench situation has had me worried since last year’s playoffs. I was never a Pargo fan […]

We are 10 games into this ’08-’09 season, and suffice it to say things have not gone as well as one would like. The problem is the issues facing the Hornets might be worse than its showing right now. Sure it’s no secret that the Hornets’ shooting has slumped lately, but that is the tip of the […]

Our team’s supposed to be contending for a title this season and I don’t feel like that will happen unless we make a few minor moves. I’ve decided to start my first edition with Mike James. Easy place to start given the fact that he’s been benched in favor of Devin Brown. Even though I […]

Okay folks, Mikey here, with your word of the day… The word of the day is “Saintsitis” Definition Saintsitis: A systemic, debilitating mental condition that precipitates through an entire roster of a New Orleans professional sports franchises, thereby causing them to inexplicably suck beyond belief. Usage: The New Orleans Hornets have suffered thorough a serious […]

First 3 games: 3-0 Last 7 games: 2-5 That says it all. 5-5 is not bad, not great, and not good. It’s average. We’re average. The New York Knicks have a better record than we do (6-5) at this point in the season. In the last 7 games we’ve: lost vs. Hawks, lost at Bobcats, […]

Which do we need more on our bench? Generally you can’t make a title run without a reliable rotation of at least eight men.  Conventional wisdom says that means you need at least a ball handler, a wing and a big man coming off the bench. Clearly we’ve got the wing position figured out (though […]
