Something strange about Bobby Jackson's first blog over at RealGM.com. It reads a bit weird all the way through, like it was written in a serious hurry, but what jumped out at me was the comments about Zach Randolph and the Blazers. Apparently penning this ahead of Monday's game against Portland, Bobby writes… Our last […]

I'll admit that there is still a chance the Hornets could make the Playoffs, but it's so slim that every defeat from here on out is potentially fatal. Last week saw losses to the lowly Sixers and the not-so-lowly Raptors, disappointments which had me throwing in the towel. The Hornets will have an opportunity to […]

Found something interesting earlier. The following was buried deep in Sam Smith's column in the Chicago Tribune yesterday… Lakers center Andrew Bynum said coach Phil Jackson told him to "watch how Tyson Chandler plays." Said Bynum, who grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds after watching the Chandler tapes: "He watches the ball and never stops moving. […]

The Hornets won their sixth straight home game last night, beating the Blazers 103-91 at the Ford Center. The demon of that 27-point blown lead back in November has been exorcised. News and notes and stuff… Linkage: box | recap | video | photos The win puts the Hornets ahead of the Blazers and eleventh […]

I'm pretty much stealing this layout from GSoM, but I figure the About.com Division Reports are worth a post on their own each week. Some of them haven't been posted yet, so I'll be checking back to update this later. Do the click thing and get caught up… Eastern Conference: Atlantic Division (usually) brought to […]

The Blazers are in Oklahoma City today to play our enigmatic Hornets. Portland are 19-26 on the season, compared to the Hornets' 18-25 record, putting the Blazers just percentage points ahead in the standings. Both teams trail the Clippers by 3.5 games for that magical eighth and final Western Conference Playoff thing. Portland have won […]

The Hornets won their fifth straight home game yesterday with a 94-83 triumph over the visiting Jazz. Utah were a bit shorthanded, entering the game without Andrei Kirilenko, then losing Carlos Boozer to a knee injury about four minutes in. Boo-fucking-hoo. No prizes for guessing what's next…  Linkage: box | recap | video | photos […]

The Hornets got back on track last night with a win over the Kings down in New Orleans, and thus restored my faith in their Playoff chase. Ha! Just kidding. I'm not that fickle. Nice win and all, but it will take another nine in a row to get me back on board. Anyways, these […]

Yeah, I came crawling back. Being this obsessed with the Hornets isn't healthy. I should have picked the Mavs or heroin or something back in the day. Stupid purple and teal Starter jacket reeled me in. Anyways, methinks we'll be doing the whole random shizzle thing more often now, since time spent previewing meaningless games […]

Game over.   I said yesterday that if the Hornets lost to the Raptors, the season was done. No Playoffs, see you next year. You know by now that the Hornets did indeed lose. And they didn't just lose in any old unspectacular fashion. No sir, not our Hornets. They waited until they had a […]

Well, last night's loss to the Sixers brought the Hornets crashing back down to earth. Just when I thought the season was finally beginning to look up, they go and drop one to the worst team in the Eastern Conference. Said Byron Scott afterwards: "Forget about this playoff talk. We got no chance if we […]

The Hornets are in Philadelphia today to meet the Sixers for the first time this season. Philly have been in the news for all the wrong reasons the past few months, from trading Allen Iverson, to buying out Chris Webber, to their lowly 11-30 record. After all that, they'd better get lucky in the Lottery. […]

Answers for the previous trivia gizmo are in the comments here. Now get cracking at this lot… Which Hornet has a brother named Jeremy balling at Gonzaga? Who the hell is Scott Cochran? Entering Tuesday's game in Philly, who was the last player to have a 20-10 game against the Hornets? What number did Byron […]

A few things worth your attention today. In no particular order… As mentioned before, I'm writing a weekly report on the Southwest Division as part of a big collaborative effort over at About.com. It's posted every Monday, and there's some great bloggers covering the other divisions, too. I think you'll find it's a handy way […]

I am positively BUZZING today. Forget drugs man, following the Hornets this season gives you all the highs and lows you need. I'd go so far as to say that the win over L.A. last night was the best of the season. The Hornets may have had better during the 8-3 start, but that seems […]

The Hornets lost to the Spurs last night, but as usual, I have F.A. time to throw out notes and thoughts on the game. Being a full-time veterinarian, sacrifices have to be made, sure you understand. Here's your linkage: box | recap | video | photos Real quick, David West and Bobby Jackson looked pretty […]

The Hornets take their unlikely three-game winning streak to San Antonio today, as they begin a stretch of four games in six days, three of which will be on the road. The 411… The Hornets have already played the Spurs twice this season, once in New Orleans and once in Oklahoma City. The Spurs won […]

Yes, the Hornets have one of those legitimate (i.e. more than two games) winning streak things like you’d read about in the Dallas or Phoenix newspapers. And it’s thanks to a bunch of scrappy underdogs like Jannero Pargo, who went and did some kind of Gilbert Arenas impersonation last night. News and notes and the […]

This latest edition of our trivia thing is all about Hornets' coaches. I'm talking past and present, heads and assistants. We'll do this in that oh-so-popular "Who am I?" style. So, yeah, get started… I have the best winning percentage of any Hornets head coach ever. I'm currently an assistant with the Detroit Pistons. Besides […]

I’ll barely have time to shit tomorrow, so this is going up now. In fact, I’ve been so busy lately, that I even completely forgot about the seventh anniversary of Bobby Phills’ death. And I call myself an old school Hornets’ fan? Shame on me. The Magic are 22-16 on the season, having cooled a […]
