Sonics Fans Make Me Throw Up a Little Bit in My Mouth
Take a look at any comment section of any article related to the Hornets sale and what do you see? Three hundred comments from Sonics fans about how the Hornets are moving there. They say New Orleans doesn’t have basketball history. They say we can’t support a team and point to the New Orleans Jazz […]

Knicks Continue their Domination over the Hornets
After two long years of losses, the Hornets should have wanted it more. The Knicks took them down 100-92 behind a strong performance by Amare Stoudemire. In a word, the Hornets were apathetic. Monty wasn’t aggressive late with his substitutions and was content to just let lesser players stay on while the team got closer […]

Game On: Knicks @ Hornets
Matchup: Knicks (10-9) @ Hornets (13-5) Off Efficiency: Hornets 103.6(15th), Knicks 107.7 (6th) Def Efficiency: Hornets 98.4(2nd), Knicks 105.9 (19th) Thanks to the amazing Dariusz Ejkiewicz for the Game Day Banner. The theme of the night will be conflicting styles, as the Knicks bring their fast paced offense (2nd fastest) to New Orleans (4th slowest). […]

Eff the Hornets Attendance Problem
I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Not because I’m worried about the team actually being moved, or because the seemingly arbitrary (although probably not) number of 14,735 is particularly meaningful to me. No, it’s because I’m sick of playing defense. I’m sick of having to defend New Orleans as a basketball city. […]

Hornets Beat the Bobcats
As expected, the Hornets beat the Bobcats 89-73 before what very well may have been the sparsest crowd since 2007. I’m fairly good at estimating crowd size, and it’s quite possible that everyone in attendance could have fit in the lower bowl tonight. I can’t express my frustration with the crowd issues in writing right […]

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 […]

Sipping on Some Stats
Nothing fancy here, just a little rundown of the Hornets overall stats this year. The most important thing to look at right now is the 12 wins because as we all know, making the playoffs comes first. Even though the team is currently third in the conference, and only a game out of first, they […]

Happy Thanksgiving From Hornets247
On behalf of everyone (except Michael), I want to wish all of our American readers a happy Thanksgiving. For the rest of you who may be unfamiliar with Turkey Day, it’s a time when families and strangers come together to share uncomfortable conversation while gorging themselves on foods usually reserved for Jabba the Hut. Quite […]

Demps knocks another one out of the Park
In 1993, Ken Griffey, Jr. had a home run in 8 consecutive games. Since I consider the Jerrells trade with San Antonio a foul tip, Dell Demps is closing in on Griffey’s record. He hit another home run in his most recent trade on Saturday, as he got Jarrett Jack from the Toronto Raptors. Yeah, […]

Hornets Get Redemption, Beat the Mavs
The Hornets avenged their only loss of the season, taking down the Mavs 99-97 behind Marco Belinelli’s strong defense. For the second time in three nights, the Mavs took advantage of a notably slow Hornets start to take a 12-2 lead, but the Hornets would battle back in the second half. The Hornets passed their […]

Game on: Mavs @ Hornets
After their first loss of the season, the Hornets will try and get redemption against the now despised Dallas Mavericks. This game will be telling of how the Hornets will handle adversity down the road. They were bound to lose a game or two sooner or later, but what we don’t know his how they […]

With Lakers Loss, Hornets Are The NBA’s Only Undefeated Team
When the Lakers lost in Denver on Thursday night, the Hornets took the distinction of being only undefeated NBA team for the first time in their history. I’m not sure, but considering their schedule and the uncertainty that surrounded them after a poor preseason, anyone who bet on this probably made out pretty well. There […]

Priced out for Saints Games? Geaux Hornets Instead
I was planning to attend a Saints game for the first time since I sold my season tickets a few years ago, but was flabbergasted at how poorly the prices of available tickets to the Saints compare to what the Hornets offer. So much in fact, that I completely abandoned the plan and instead decided […]

Hornets Broadcasting Issues Reply
I will answer your direct questions in your reply to my comment first. No not only do I not think CST overcharges for their channel, I know they don’t. If they did, they would not be carried by dozens of other video service providers in the area. In fact, the only TWO that they are […]

Broadcasting Still a Major Concern for the Hornets
It is remarkably difficult to watch the New Orleans Hornets road games on TV if you live in New Orleans or the surrounding area. For those who don’t have to deal with the inadequacies of COX as a cable provider, local blackout rules, or the complex puzzle that is required in figuring out how to […]

The Hornets join 25 other teams who are in action on the second night of the 2010-2011 regular season, and let me be one of the many to pump my fist in excitement. The Bucks are the first potential victims of the year for the Hornets, who are hoping to remain undefeated The Hornets are […]

Bucks vs. Hornets aka Bad Porn takes NOLA
While we all look forward to an opening night filled with West/Paul pick and pops and old school Thornton play , I thought i’d present some of the data and discuss the matchups that can’t help but worry me. The Bucks Rotation looks like this Jennings / Dooling / Boykins Salmons / Douglas-Roberts ( might […]
