Belated Holiday Post
I’m an altruistic guy, so instead of wishing for things for me, I would prefer to wish for things that will benefit all the New Orleans Hornets fans. That includes wishing that every player gained certain skills because of whatever December holiday they acknowledge. The magical idea of Santa Clause/Flying Spaghetti Monster is in no […]

Game On: Hawks @ Hornets
Christmas Day is over and presumably Phil Jackson has no problems with the NBA scheduling games on December 26th, so the Hornets take the court for the first time in four days with no protest from the Zen Master or any other outspoken multi-millionaires who don’t seem to realize where their bread is buttered. The […]

Hornets Whoop the Jazz
The Hornets destroyed the Jazz 100-71 to even the season series at 1-1. It was a game that left little doubt that the past dominance of Deron over Paul is over, and might just get those still talking about it to reconsider their position. No, Paul didn’t do anything statistically incredible, but he did exactly […]

He’s Back: Thornton Fuels Hornets Comeback Victory
It was a tale of two halves and one player, as Marcus Thornton and the Hornets  came back from 23 down to emerge victoriously in what may be yet another turning point in their season. It was a thrilling 94-91 victory for everyone in attendance (13,325). What’s wrong with the Hornets? What happened to that […]

The Heat clamp down on the Hornets
Two and a half quarters of good, solid Hornets basketball, with the Hornets riding a strong offensive attack by David West, good control of the game’s speed by Chris Paul, and a solid defensive outing by Trevor Ariza. Then, with a few minutes left in the third quarter, in a game with very few mistakes […]

Thunder Beat the Hornets
The Thunder beat the Hornets in what can only be described as a depressing game for the Bees. They had their chances, and gave/let them them away. The Hornets took it inside early and often, and for a while it appeared that David West would prove to be too much to handle for the visitors. […]

Introducing The Save Our Hornets Foundation
The following is from SaveOurHornets.com, the official website of the Save Our Hornets Foundation: Every empty seat that we see in the Arena is a seat that could be filled with a smiling youngster. Through increased positive exposure to basketball at a young age, these fans will have a higher likelihood of attending games later […]

The Hornets beat the Pistons
Detroit’s starters are kind of depressing. While Maxiel and Wallace worked hard here and there and Hamilton ran around alot there wasn’t a feeling that they were a team – or that they cared much. Most of their shots were of the sort where they let the defender square up on them, and then they […]

Game On: Pistons @ Hornets
Matchup: Pistons(7-15) @ Hornets(13-7) Off Efficiency: Pistons 100.8(24th), Hornets 102.5(21st) Def Efficiency: Pistons 107.8(23rd), Hornets 99.7(6th) As I said in the Podcast, if the Hornets were looking for a team to get back on track against, it would be the Pistons. One of the common threads between the Hornets wins is that Emeka Okafor generally […]

Magic Johnson Should Consider Buying the Hornets
The NBA is looking for a new Hornets owner, and Magic Johnson’s interest in purchasing an NBA team is well documented. His recent sale of Starbucks franchises and shares in the Lakers netted him around 100 million dollars in cash, so it’s inevitable that someone is going to ask the question of why not buy […]

The Spurs crushed the Hornets
Chris Paul came to play. I’d like to leave it there. Or maybe go to the “Both Teams played Hard” standby that Rasheed Wallace went to, but that would be a lie. The Spurs played hard. The Hornets, for the first seven minutes of the game, didn’t play hard. The middle two quarters of the […]

Game On: Hornets @ Spurs
Before I get to the game, I wanted to address one thing. For those of you who aren’t aware, there are rumors flying hot and heavy that the NBA could be purchasing the Hornets from George Shinn at any moment. Yeah, the NBA, not Chouest or some other buyer. Crazy, eh? Questions, questions, questions. Are […]

Introducing Homegrown Night
The Hornets, more than any NBA team, put on quite a show for their fans. Nobody else does pregame parties every game with live music. There isn’t another team that gives free beer to their season ticket holders, while charging only a dollar for everyone else. There are inflatable games and basketball hoops outside the […]

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 […]

Gotta Support the Team . . .
Writers have been saying for years that New Orleans is not a pro sports town, and that we won’t keep the Saints or the Hornets. Some even say we don’t deserve them. I’m sick and tired of it. You know who can’t support professional sports? L.A. They let 2 NFL teams walk (in the past […]

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. […]

Game On: Bobcats @ Hornets
Matchup: Bobcats (6-11) @ Hornets (12-5) Off Efficiency: Hornets 103.6(15th), Bobcats 103.8 (14th) Def Efficiency: Hornets 99.2(3rd), Bobcats 104.4 (15th) Thanks to the amazing Dariusz Ejkiewicz for the Game Day Banner. The Hornets look to end a two game slide (their longest of the year) tonight against the Charlotte Bobcats. After winning 11 of their […]

Through 17 Games . . .
Through 17 games . . . we needed to show something. Why? Someone made that up, but they were pretty adamant about it. It was noted very early on that we needed a hot start. But how could we? Chris, we were told, didn’t want to play here. We weren’t good enough, we weren’t smart […]

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 […]
