  • Hornets-Bucks game postponed

    As you may already have heard, tonight's Hornets-Bucks game has been postponed. Details here. So it's all about the Saints tonight, baby.

  • The Hornets beat the Wizards

    Great win for the Hornets last night. Feels real strange being on a winning streak. Linkage: box | recap | video | photos. I have absolutely no time to do this today, so not even a half-assed preview for the Bucks game tonight. Good news for us is that Michael Redd and a whole host […]

  • Half-assed Preview: Wizards @ Hornets

    The Hornets take on the other end of the alphabet this evening when the Washington Wizards hit the Ford Center. This is the first game of a back-to-back, with our guys travelling to Milwaukee to play the Bucks tomorrow, a game that will no doubt be completely overshadowed by Saints vs. Eagles. But before we […]

  • The Hornets beat the Hawks

    The Hornets took a trip to Atlanta yesterday and came away with one of those win things. In fact, not only did they win, they straight up blew out the Hawks, 96-77, running the lead to 27 at one point in the fourth. It's obvious now that the Ford Center was largely to blame for […]

  • Half-assed Preview: Hornets @ Hawks

    Ok, I've got about five minutes to do this, and I'm real hungry right about now, so what follows may not be entriely coherent. It's a pity, too, because there's plenty to talk about today. Alas, it will have to wait, although this guy summed up the absurdity of the Bojangles situation pretty good. (Imagine […]

  • Think Tank?

    All the losing is getting real old by now. The Hornets finished up their four-game homestand last night by losing their fifth straight game. The Clippers were the ones taking advantage this time, using a fourth-quarter surge to win 100-90. Linkage: box | recap | video | photos That makes it 19 losses for the […]

  • Half-assed Preview: Clippers @ Hornets

    I was counting on today's preview being done for me. It isn't, and time is short, so this will be the definition of half-assed. (Imagine a picture of Elton Brand here.) Know that the Clippers are playing the fifth game of a six-game road trip, and they come to the Ford Center having lost three […]

  • The NBA’s Top 5 Cheerleaders

    Given that the Hornets suck, I needed a distraction, so I went and checked out every cheerleader dancer eligible for that Vegas All-Star thing and picked a top five. Please note that this is based solely on looks, because personality and dancing ability don't really matter a shit. Without further ado… 5. Sarah from the […]

  • The Pacers beat the Hornets

    The Hornets fought hard and stayed close for most of last night's game against the Pacers, but just couldn't pull off the win as Indiana made all the key plays down the stretch. The final score was 100-93. Some real quick notes… Linkage: box | recap | video | photos Desmond Mason had perhaps his […]

  • Half-assed Preview: Pacers @ Hornets

    Hornets-Pacers tonight at the Ford. Tip is at 7pm CT. Chris Paul, David West and Peja Stojakovic are still out, while Bobby Jackson will probably be allowed ten minutes of PT, max. Our Hornets are of course coming off their worst offensive showing of the season, have lost ten of their past twelve, and have […]

  • The Pistons whupped the Hornets

    Them Pistons are like elephants; they never forget. As a friend of mine once said though, "Of course elephants never forget. All they have to remember is eat the green stuff and shit on everything else!" I'm not sure how that fits in with anything, but the fact is the Hornets got crucified on their […]

  • Half-assed Preview: Pistons @ Hornets

    Our fabulous Hornets, losers of nine of their last eleven games and more hobbled than a two-legged tripod, are on national TV tonight (TNT, 7pm CT). You see, it's not just us loyal fans who should have to endure the torture of 48 minutes of Hornets' basketball. No, the whole country must suffer with us […]

  • The Warriors beat the Hornets

    And so ends the Hornets' season series with the Golden State Warriors. The final score last night was 97-89, with the Hornets fighting back from a 13-point, third-quarter hole to make it close until the last minute. Zee news and zee notes… Linkage: box | recap | video | photos The Hornets shot better from […]

  • Desmond Mason is colorblind

    A few things knocking around my brain before Hornets-Warriors…  This from the latest Hornets.com NBA Superlatives, where they ask a player (Desmond Mason in this case) a bunch of super-fantastic questions… Best uniforms in the NBA (besides the Hornets'): "I really like the Milwaukee Bucks' new green and red uniforms. Those are good colors." Umm, […]

  • Half-assed Preview: Warriors @ Hornets

    Back from outer space and it's the Hornets-Warriors tonight at the Ford. First game of 2007 and fabulous old/new leather basketballs to play with. We've seen Hornets-Warriors three times already since November 1st, so this will be the final meeting between the teams this season. Let's hit that switch and flip to bullet-mode… This is […]
