Game On: Hornets @ Kings
The Hornets take their show into Sacramento to face the Kings, a team that relies heavily on isolation basketball and individual brilliance to take games. Unfortunately for the Kings, their individual talents don’t yet amount to any sort of efficiency, and as a result, they’ve been crushed in three straight games after pulling out a […]

Tempus Fugit
Tempus fugit is a Latin phrase translating as “Time flees,” but is more well-approximated with the familiar “Time flies.” It’s been just over a year since the Hornets were taken over by the NBA, forever changing the course of the franchise. The past year has been turbulent for other reasons, as well, but now we […]

Hornets Come in Second in Second Suns Game
I’ll pick up the recap since this one, I suppose, is too odoriferous for those with a more delicate palate . . . The Hornets failed to score at a record number race according to Rohan from At The Hive. The box score and recaps all seem to agree that the defense was on and […]

A Defense Of The Lakers’ Trade From A Business Perspective
((This is a guest post from Swarm and Sting’s Jake Madison. Enjoy.)) I’ve been spending a lot of time lately ruminating on the business and financial side of the NBA–particularly about how the Hornets are affected by various aspects. I was following ESPN’s Daily Dime chat Tuesday night and host Zach Harper raised an interesting […]

Chris who? Eric Gordon hits game winner in Hornets debut
For 47 minutes and 55 seconds Eric Gordon had a tough time finding his stroke from the outside, but he hit the one that counted with less than five seconds on the clock to give the Hornets a 85-84 victory in their season debut. Gordon got to the bucket early and often, slicing up the […]

Game On: New Orleans Hornets @ Phoenix Suns
And… We’re Back!! It’s been a tough couple of months for Hornets fans, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Gone are franchise cornerstones Chris Paul and David West and their patented pick and pop. Instead, the Hornets will rely less on star power and more on teamwork, toughness, and intensity. The […]

Holiday Road
As Christmas does a continually worsening, comically poor job of sneaking up on the present recipients of the world, I’m left with nothing to do but dive into my own head in an effort to maintain decorum as the yuletide behemoth gracelessly knocks the lamp over while trying desperately sneak around and deposit the season’s […]

Hornets Defeat Grizzlies in Meaningful Meaningless Game
We won. That’s all that matters. Ryan would stuff me armless into a culvert if I recapped a game like that, so I’ll continue, but entre nous, you can stop here and go get some ice cream. On the court: Playing this game without the new troops seemed like a daunting task, but the Hornets […]

Tur-dunkin’
Renewed rebirth talks are springing up all over HornetLand. I have theories on why that is, but I’ve stuffed some soppresata in my mouth in an effort to keep this on topic. The topic, of course: A Traditional Louisiana Turducken. For those who don’t know, a turducken is a dish, not an animal. The basic […]

Patrick Ewing Jr. Waived
Hornets – The New Orleans Hornets announced today that they have requested waivers on forward Patrick Ewing Jr. Ewing Jr. appeared in seven games for the Hornets last season, averaging 0.4 points and 0.3 rebounds in 2.7 minutes of play. The Indiana University product was originally signed as a free agent by the team on […]

Free Agency: It’s not too late
I don’t know if I believe the NBA wants to trade Chris Paul at this point. The demands seem a bit ridiculous, really. However, what I do know is a decision needs to be made in the NBA’s front office: unleash Demps to start signing Free Agents to put around Paul, or just take […]

A Farewell to David West
So after 8 years as a Hornet, David West has gone out in the same manner in which he played for the Hornets – an afterthought to the sublime scene-stealing talent of his longtime teammate, Chris Paul. It shouldn’t be that way. West owns one of the top spots in the Pantheon of players to wear […]

With a Hammer
I have almost no idea what continues to perpetuate the Chris Paul situation, and I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen in the end. The latter is way too hard for someone in my position to figure out. Staring at twitter or news feeds and hoping that `the answer’ pops out is hopeless; […]

Dell Customer Support
For a hundred reasons, I’d be surprised if any of us sees Dell around today or tomorrow if the reports of the NBA killing the proposed trade for Chris Paul to the Lakers are true, even if something he thinks is better replaces it, which is doubtful since he would have taken that deal to […]

What Game are We Playing?
I thought this was a team in a basketball league, but I’m questioning this most fundamental assumption. For two successive offseasons, fans have celebrated the possible arrival of a player as if they had won a title. This seems so contrary to the basic nature of sports to me that I have to ask: What […]

2011-2012 Schedule Analysis
Yeah, I know we all have more important things on our mind. We here at Hornets247 fully expect to be writing about the Chris Paul trade and what Dealer Dell managed to get for a top 10 NBA talent within a few days. However! We still have a season to play, and the schedule was […]

Ranking the Assets
It’s time to be honest with ourselves and realize that it is a foregone conclusion that Chris Paul will not re-sign with the Hornets once his current contract has expired. He has given this franchise hundreds of brilliant moments, and can arguably be called the GHAT (Greatest Hornet of All-Time), but we will soon have […]
