Hornets crushed in Paint by Rockets
A lot of the wind went out of my sails when I found out Gordon wouldn’t be playing in this game tonight. The Hornets had said they’d probably do this when he came back on back-to-back game nights, but then Monty said something about adjusting Gordon’s minutes against the Rockets. Didn’t know he’d adjust them […]

EJ slices and Dices, Hornets rally from 21 down and Win
We’ve been calling out Vasquez for months on this blog, and Michael and I have been speculating on the Vasquez-Gordon pairing on the podcast that entire time, both of us salivating at the idea of the two working together. Tonight, we got to see them in both situations, and you can already see how much […]

Hornets Lose by 1. What was that last play?
The Hornets committed a games worth of CP3-era turnovers in the first half, handing the ball to the Blazers 11 times. Six of them were tossed directly to the Blazers, resulting in transition scoring that the Hornets couldn’t match. The worst part of the first half, however, was the perimeter defense. The Blazers took twelve […]

Hornets Lose to Heat by 16 After Poor Second Quarter
The New Orleans Hornets fall to 5-14, 1-3 on the week, after a 16 point loss to Miami after being outscored by 18 in the second quarter. The Hornets managed to keep the Heat from taking advantage of poor three point defense, but the Hornets also failed to take advantage of the same weakness of […]

Game On: Hornets Visit the Heat
The short-handed New Orleans Hornets perhaps find themselves ready to take advantage suddenly struggling Heat, who are on their first losing streak of the season (2 games). This is by no means claiming that the Hornets are favored, but the gap between the Gordon+Davis-less Hornets and the team hosting them on the border of Biscayne […]

Hornets fall to three point barrage again
The Hornets came out and gave it their all tonight, fighting hard against a tough defense that wasn’t giving an inch. Despite that, the Hornets held an advantage almost all game until the Pacers spread the floor, their shooters got red hot, and the Hornets fell in overtime.

Game On: Hornets @ Pacers
The Hornets kick off a four-game road trip by going against the toughest defense in the league on the back end of a back to back. Oh, and no Anthony Davis.

Hornets fight back from 21 down, fall just short
That game felt a bit like a disaster for a time. It’s hard to take a 39 point quarter and feel warm and fuzzy. Yet I do, because these guys never lay down and die. Vasquez, who laps up underdog moments like a Kardashian does attention, would not lay down and take it, (unlike the […]

Spurs edge Hornets in Home Opener
That was a fantastic game, even if it was a loss. The Hornets, oozing blood from a limited and injured guard rotation, managed to hang tough against a veteran squad and keep it close down to the very last minute. If anything, the game exposed the fact that Monty was essentially playing possum all pre-season. […]
