The Hornets just had three days off to rest, recuperate, and practice not sucking so much. They play the Hawks in Atlanta this evening, then it's back home to New Orleans to host those dastardly Mavs tomorrow night. We've lost four of five, so getting at least one win in these next two games would […]

The Hornets are back from their three-day break tomorrow, when they take on the Hawks in Atlanta. In the meantime, get your brain moving and see how well you know your favorite team… Which Hornet has a cousin playing football at Jackson State? As either a player or as a head coach, how many times […]

Less than two weeks ago, when the Hornets were 9-2, I was busy thinking how deserving they were to be sitting atop the Western Conference. After all those season previews predicting that the Hornets would once again struggle to make the Playoffs, I was pretty damn happy that my team was making the so-called experts […]

The Hornets managed to snap that three-game skid Saturday in LA, beating the Clippers, 98-89 (recap | box | video). That win puts us at 10-5 on the season, which isn't a bad place to be. If we keep winning two-thirds of our games, we'll end up at about 55-27. I can live with that. […]

Forgive me while I fumble through this post today. Between that miserable loss in Utah last night, and the subsequent amount of alcohol I had to drink to numb the pain, motivation is seriously lacking. But what the fuck was that? Scoreless for the first eight minutes of the fourth quarter; how is that even […]

It's a slow one this morning with the holidays and everything. No NBA games last night, and very little to add to our news page today. It's a pity, too, because tonight our guys are in Utah to play the Jazz, a meeting that should prove to be a good measuring stick for the Hornets. […]

Happy Thanksgiving, my ass. What we're dealing with here is the poorest performance of the young season by the Hornets. Last night they hosted a Pacers team that had lost seven of eight and given up 134 points to the Lakers just 24 hours earlier. And, we had Chris Paul back, so you know I […]

Did some previewing of Hornets-Pacers earlier, check here if you missed it. Let's dive right into this… First off, I gotta recommend you go read DJ Toney Blare's take on the Orlando game. Dude was in the building Monday night and felt the crowd buzzing… …from what I can tell, we have a shot at […]

This is gonna be a quick one; got some Shizzle on the way later. The Indiana Pacers are in town today to take on the Hornets. Game time is your usual 7 in the pm at the Arena. Indiana began the season nicely, winning their first three games and causing me to wonder if maybe […]

Some kind of game last night. If you just read the headlines this morning you'll see that Chris Paul is still injured, Tyson Chandler got hurt and the Hornets lost to the Magic. Then you might go stick your head in the oven. But it ain't so bad. CP might miss one more game, Tyson […]

Here we go. Tough one tonight, people. The Orlando Magic are in town, and they be the only other folks in the NBA with nine wins right now. They just got done handing the Celtics their first loss of the season down in Florida yesterday, and they're looking something like the real deal so far. […]

It just keeps on getting better, don't it? The Hornets dismantled the Timberwolves in Minnesota last night. Second game of a back-to-back, on the road, missing your superstar, and you still kick mucho ass. Sure, the T-Wolves look a lot like suck and they were working Friday night, too, but excuse me while I cover […]

The Hornets took care of business in Memphis last night, although it took a little longer than usual. We needed overtime and some heroics from David West to shake those pesky Grizzlies. Final score was 120-118 (recap | box). The Hornets really should have wrapped this one up in 48 minutes, but the Grizzlies were […]

The Hornets try for the best start in franchise history this evening, when they take on the Grizzlies in Memphis. We're currently 7-2 on the season, aiming for that eighth win. This post isn't your usual half-assed game preview because there's already some good reading out there. Check out Ryan Schwan's preview over at The […]

Happy face. We're 7-2. Dance, Georgie, dance! Chad, why aren't you dancing? Do you not like the victoriousness? Anyway, not much time to blog today, but I did make that image extra long so you could still get your scrolling fix. If that doesn't satisfy you, head on over to NBA.com, where Tyson Chandler has […]

Our 6-2 Hornets are back in New Orleans this evening to take on the Philadelphia 76ers, the same team they demolished in Philly last Sunday. Cue photographic evidence of said event… That 93-72 result was the Hornets biggest win so far this season, and I don't think we have to worry about the Sixers extracting […]

Ah, nothing like winning a game you should have lost. The Hornets looked to be headed to their third loss in four games last night in Joisey, but Chris Paul grabbed the game by the balls and led his team back from an 11-point defecit with less than five minutes to go. In that stretch, […]

The Hornets done beat the Sixers in Philly yesterday, 93-72 (recap | box | video). Aside from that blitzing performance out in LA, it was probably the Hornets best game of the season so far. They put their hosts away early, busting out to a double-digit lead in the second quarter, and never looking back. […]

Man, hectic weekend as always. I'd love to dwell on that loss to the Spurs but I'd rather not be depressed right now. Forgetting it ever happened works better for my general happiness. Got no time to talk shop today either, so I'll just say happy 23rd birthday to Hilton Armstrong and do some linkage […]

The defending NBA champions, the San Antonio Spurs, will be in New Orleans this evening to take on the Hornets. Game time is set for 7pm Central and apparently there's a whole bunch of tickets left, so, to echo John DeShazier, get your ass to the Arena if you're in N.O. tonight. This game should […]
