Game On: Los Angeles Lakers at New Orleans Pelicans

For the third time this season, the Pelicans head into a winnable game trying to get their record back to .500. The Lakers have been a fun team to watch this season, and have even knocked off some elite teams (the Clippers and the Rockets) but they are by no means a good team at […]

Final Game: Hornets @ Mavericks

The season has boiled down to a nearly(yes, nearly. see bottom of post for lottery placement implications) meaningless game between two teams that aren’t going anywhere. It’s not really a fantastic way to say goodbye to the brand so many of us have happily followed, but in a lot of ways, it’s the best way […]

Clippers Slip Past Hornets

I don’t even know what to say first, so I’m just going to say bravo to the team. They were overmatched, and though they lost, the took it to the Clippers in an effort that, while flawed, was praise-worthy. Good job, fellas. The New Orleans Hornets Pelicans are going to cause some headaches for other […]

Game On: Hornets @ Kings

I have wrote about it, tweeted about it, and talked about it numerous times on the podcast – tonight’s game is huge when it comes to lottery implications. But as much as some of us think about the May 21st Lottery, that is the furthest thing from the minds of Hornets players. They are trying […]

Hornets play 22 minutes of good basketball, win game.

Game On: Hornets @ Suns

They fought over Eric Gordon, and now they fight for Lottery Balls. Coincidence?

Game On: Hornets @ Jazz

This is practically a must-win for the Jazz if they want to win the eight seed out West. Meanwhile, the Hornets are looking to get their first road win since the All-Star break tonight. A couple things to watch for tonight include the newer, more aggressive Eric Gordon, Monty’s trapping defense, Darius Miller and Brian […]

Road Losing Streak Continues as Hornets Lose to Warriors

The Hornets have not won a road game since before the All-Star break. On February 11th in Detroit, the Hornets defeated the Pistons 105-86, but since then the road has not been kind to this young team. Tonight, against Golden State, the Hornets started off hot and looked poised to break the streak, but they […]

Game On: Hornets @ Warriors

Two very well rested teams go head-to-head tonight with two entirely different agendas in mind. The Hornets, who haven’t played since Sunday, have eight more games to evaluate their current roster before heading into an offseason that is likely to produce a rather drastic overhaul of the roster. Meanwhile, the Warriors, who haven’t played since […]

Game On: Heat @ Hornets

The Hornets set out to give the Heat their first losing streak since the Heat dropped two consecutive games on January 8th and 10th to Indiana and Portland respectively. Chicago ended the Heat’s 27-game winning streak on Wednesday, playing a physical style of basketball that frustrated King James and the Heat. The Bulls outrebounded Miami […]

Los Angeles is Burning?

The flames are stunning The camera’s running So take warning When the hills of Los Angeles are burning Palm trees are candles in the murder wind So many lives are on the breeze Even the stars are ill at ease And Los Angeles is burning — Bad Religion, Los Angeles is Burning Jake‘s got the […]

Hornets lose lead at end. Again.

For the last non-hail-mary possessions of the game, the Hornets went Gordon Iso. Because, you know, that’s worked all year. Well, it worked in one game. So let’s keep doing it!

Game On: Hornets @ Timberwolves

The Hornets travel to Minnesota to take on the one team in the West who are playing worse than they are. Will it be a win?
-
Game On: Hornets @ Nets

The Hornets roll into Brooklyn to catch the Nets on the second night of a back to back. Will that help the Hornets to victory?

Grizzlies Pull Away in Third Quarter, Defeat Hornets 96-85

The Hornets trailed 20-13 with 2:28 left in the first quarter when Anthony Davis checked in and New Orleans put Anderson and Davis next to each other for the first time in the game. For the next 11 minutes, the two played off each other beautifully and New Orleans went on a 22-11 run to […]
-
Game On: Hornets @ Grizzlies

Since the All-Star break the Hornets are 2-7 and have lost Jason Smith and Austin Rivers to season ending injuries. They started off by losing heartbreakers to Cleveland and Dallas, but recently it has just turned tragic, as 17 and 25 point leads have be lost to Orlando and Los Angeles, respectively. All of that […]

Game on: Hornets @ Thunder

After a loss to the Gently Repulsive Nets, things don’t get any easier on the Road.

Hornets can’t hang on and lose to Dallas

The end of that game was crushing as the Hornets gave themselves every opportunity to win the game. Hornets up four with 55 seconds less? Still a loss. Sigh. In a theme for the year, the Hornets went with caution in the game and after Anthony Davis bumped knees and went back to the locker […]

Game On: Mavericks @ Hornets

The Mavericks roll into New Orleans having won 4 of 5. Will the Hornets slow their roll?

Kyrie Irving Too Much as Hornets fall to Cavs

The first 43 minutes of an NBA game is so different from the final 5 minutes and there is no better evidence of this well known fact than tonight’s game against Cleveland. With 4 minutes and 58 seconds left, the Hornets and Cavs were tied up at 83. Over the next 3 minutes and 11 […]
