The Bulls beat the Hornets
It’s not often that you can have 17 more free throws and 10 less turnovers than an opponent and lose, but tonight the Hornets did that. The Hornets took a double-digit lead into halftime – but it was a dangerous double-digit lead because the Hornets had been hitting most of their jumpers in the first half. That rarely […]

The Nets beat the Hornets
How many tries does it take for the Hornets to close out the Nets? Apparently – more than five. That’s how many chances they had to win. That’s how many times they failed.  So many rimmed out jumpers. Anyways, the Nets hit more three pointers in that game than they did all season and hit […]

Game On: Hornets @ Nets
Before I get to the game, I want to hammer a point home: Those of you blaming Monty Williams for the past few losses – you’re wrong. The reason the Hornets are losing is because of the talent level behind their starters. It’s well documented that the Hornets subs are terrible, and in fact, Only […]

The Wolves beat the Hornets
I could mouth the platitude that “sometimes you have nights like this”. It’s true, the Wolves don’t shoot like that normally. But does that make anyone feel better? Not really. The Hornets still lost to the freakin’ 11-win Timberwolves. Again. Sigh. The Wolves hit the Hornets with a one-two punch, drilling their outside shots and […]

Lakers Beat the Hornets Behind Gasol, Zebras
Despite the Hornets making a valiant effort, there was no overcoming Emeka Okafor’s absence against the Lakers. The Hornets kept it close throughout, and really seemed to have a chance, but with each whistle that went against them you could tell that it just wasn’t their night. Let’s start with what we all knew going […]

The Thunder beat the Hornets
If a Marcus Thornton shot is Goaltended, does a referee see it? Apparently, after tonight, the answer is no. Seriously – this one wasn’t even hard to call like the Phoenix game. You could see it in full motion. No, it didn’t matter to the outcome of the game like the last one, but come […]

Hornets Hand the Wizards Their 25th Straight Road Loss of the Season
The Hornets beat down the Washington Wizards 97-89, Â in a game that wasn’t nearly as close as the final score indicated. Throughout the second half the Wizards were down by double digits, and it wasn’t until the closing minute that they were within seven points in the second half. Even then it was only for […]

All Star Nods: West or Okafor?
The following is the first of what will likely be a recurring series here at Hornets247. It’s likely you have seen the Broussard vs Boucher weekly debate on ESPN. We have, and decided that we like it enough to roll out our own version. In this initial run, Mike and I debate who is more […]

Video: Suns get away with Goaltend on Game-tying shot
Yeah – it wasn’t a block. It was a goaltend. Call it what it is.

The Suns beat the Hornets
There were some questionable calls in that game. They went both ways. That’s all I’ll say about that, because here’s the rub: the Hornets should never have been in that situation. Their defense opened the game allowing four straight shots at the rim, and the defensive intensity didn’t show up at all during the first […]

Hornets and Bulls Headline All-Improved Teams at the Midpoint
Each year I like to go through a little exercise to tell me exactly how the league’s NBA teams have improved. Now, I’m sure some of you would just point to the standings and say “Duh! Look there!” but you have to remember that I like statistics even more than I like playing at least […]
