David West won’t Sign an Extension
A few days ago Adrian Wojnarowski published an article stating that the Hornets and David West were unlikely to sign an extension before the Feb 24th deadline. The article quotes sources that state “It’s hard to see an extension happening here.â€Â Wojnarowski also states that David West will likely opt out of the final year […]

D-West’s Game Winner
I could watch that all day, and that might just be what I do. Oh, and with 56 thumbs down (and counting) and a lone thumb up, this is the least popular comment in the History of our comment ranking system: “I hate David West with everything I have in me. But tonight, AND ONLY […]

Hornets are Just One Injury Away From Disaster
Sometimes it’s good to take a step back from whatever you believe to be true in order to get a more objective viewpoint. I was recently asked on the Daily Dime Chat what the Hornets biggest concern is the rest of the season. Is it the attendance issue? The NBA owning the team? Chris Paul […]

Tyrus Thomas doesn’t care
Tyrus Thomas doesn’t care if you can tell he doesn’t like Emeka Okafor’s face. He also doesn’t care if he’s delivering the most obvious flagrant elbow of all time in front of a referee. He also doesn’t care what you think about it, damnit. Oh and West dunked on Nazr’s face. He better stop it […]

David West Hammers one on Jared Jeffries
I’m not sure which is better, the fact it was a huge basket in a tough game, that it was David West dunking on someone which NEVER happens, or the half-confused half-amused look West had on his face when walking back to the bench. Does that make him amfused?

The Hornets come back and Edge the Rockets
For three quarters the Hornets were losing as the Rockets were nailing a ton of mid-range jumpers and the Hornets were turning the ball over way more often than they normally do. As a result, they gave up a season high 20 fast break points by the end of the third.  Then the fourth and overtime came along, the […]

Belated Holiday Post
I’m an altruistic guy, so instead of wishing for things for me, I would prefer to wish for things that will benefit all the New Orleans Hornets fans. That includes wishing that every player gained certain skills because of whatever December holiday they acknowledge. The magical idea of Santa Clause/Flying Spaghetti Monster is in no […]

Thunder Beat the Hornets
The Thunder beat the Hornets in what can only be described as a depressing game for the Bees. They had their chances, and gave/let them them away. The Hornets took it inside early and often, and for a while it appeared that David West would prove to be too much to handle for the visitors. […]

43 Minutes of Crunch Time
That’s how much basketball we have watched with less than five minutes left on the clock and the Hornets within five points of their opposition. Those 43 minutes have arguably been the biggest of the year for the Bees, as they have determined games, momentum, a power ranking ascension and decline (unless Marc Stein really […]

No Shave Goatee
At the beginning of the month, I started ‘No Shave November’ just like everyone else. Unfortunately, I’m Serbian, so I grew a Belinelli/Stojakovic beard very easily. I had to shave most of it off for a number of reasons, but I came up with a Hornets-related idea; I only left my chin unshaved & I […]

The Hornets beat the Kings
I hope none of you had invited friends over to watch that game in the hope of interesting them in Hornets basketball – because it was as ugly a game as we’d had all year – and we’ve played Milwaukee twice. Of course, I can’t complain, because they shot 32% for the game and won […]

The Hornets beat the Bucks. Six and Oh, baby!
The vaunted Bucks defense showed up tonight and gave the Hornets fits. Unfortunately for the Bucks, the Hornets defense was also present and the game turned slugfest through the last half of it. Very few easy baskets. Rare open shots. In the end, the Hornets prevailed, pounding out an 87-81 win.(Box Score) Early on, the […]

The Hornets Defense – or Why New Orleans is 5-0
This morning, the Hornets awake sporting the 5th most efficient defense in the league. While that sounds good, I want to put it in perspective. Unlike many teams sporting tough defenses, the Hornets have now played the 4th, 6th, 11th, 15th and 29th ranked offenses in the league. The average efficiency of those five teams […]

Game On: Hornets @ Thunder
The Hornets close out their pre-season run tonight, taking on the young upstart Oklahoma City Thunder in OKC. Okafor has been sitting out the past two games with no injuries listed, so it will be interesting to see if he plays tonight. Monty seems pretty comfortable with what he’ll get from him, so he may […]
