Our depleted Hornets came away with a gutsy win in Sacramento last night, and they’ll have to dig deep again tonight to beat the Clippers in Los Angeles. After hurting his ankle and playing through the pain in Sacto, David West will likely sit this one out, joining Tyson Chandler, Peja Stojakovic and James Posey […]

Hornets season ticket holders were given the opportunity to attend a Hornets event at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in New Orleans on Tuesday, where GM Jeff Bower spoke and answered questions. Jason Calmes was in attendance and kindly took notes. Here they be. Top 5 Big points: 97% season ticket renewal Peja back Friday? Keeping […]

What a game. After the Kings abused us all night long from three-point range, it was only fitting that a buzzer-beating triple by Rasual Butler would be their undoing. Live by the three, die by the three. It was one crazy finish in Sacramento. In the final three minutes, we had Hilton Armstrong and Devin […]

The Hornets kick off a three-game road trip tonight in Sacramento. They’ll visit the Clippers tomorrow and the Warriors on Friday. Beyond that we’ll have seven games left in the regular season, all against teams with winning records. So, yeah, best to take care of business on this trip. The Kings are 16-56 on the […]

Our short-handed Hornets take on the Spurs in New Orleans this evening. Tyson and Peja are still out, while James Posey has been sent to the corner to think about what he did. The 48-24 Spurs have won three straight and are in sole possession of the second seed in the West. They beat the […]

Hornets at Madison Square Garden tonight to take on the Knicks. Game tips at 6:30 p.m. Central. The Knicks are 28-43 on the season, 18-19 at home, currently riding a six-game losing streak. They might get Eddy Curry back from a knee injury tonight. Bad news for the Hornets today: Tyson will be “immobilized” for […]

Not an easy game for the Hornets. The Nuggets came out with a good defensive game plan and executed it well. With Chris Paul and David West on lockdown, we didn’t have enough weapons to keep the offense going, while the Nuggets were able to keep pouring in points even when their leading scorer was […]

Big game tonight at the Arena. The 45-26 Denver Nuggets are right in the thick of the playoff race with our 44-25 Hornets. Check the full standings here. The bad news is that we may be very short-handed for this one, with Chandler, Stojakovic, Armstrong and Bowen all listed as day-to-day and questionable to play. […]

Finally the Hornets were able to come out, build up a big lead, and pretty much sustain it all the way to the finish. The Warriors fell in love with the no-passing and the long-shooting in the second quarter and our reserves were able to stretch the lead out. We weren’t having much luck from […]

Hornets vs. Warriors tonight at the Arena, tip off a little earlier than usual at 6:00 p.m. Central. The Warriors are 25-44 on the season, 6-28 on the road, and they’ve split their last ten games. Andris Biedrins won’t play tonight due to an ankle sprain. He’s missed G-State’s last four. A running and gunning […]

The Hornets take on the visiting Memphis Grizzlies tonight, game tipping at 7 p.m. Central. As you may have seen in our news section, both Tyson Chandler (ankle) and Peja Stojakovic (back) will be unavailable for this one. Hilton Armstrong and Julian Wright will get the starting nods again. Byron has also hinted at increasing […]

Can’t say I’m too impressed with the win tonight. The Hornets did overcome a 4-point deficit with 2:30 remaining which made for an exciting finish at the Arena, but with each passing game I’m left feeling less and less optimistic about how we’ll fare in the playoffs. Coming off two miserable losses and with the […]

The Hornets look to break out of this worrying two-game slump when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. Game tips a little after 7 p.m. Central. Peja Stojakovic will again be unavailable, though Byron expects him back within a week. Reports suggest that Morris Peterson could replace Julian Wright in the starting lineup. The 20-47 […]

Big game tonight. Third meeting of the season between the Hornets and Rockets. They beat us in Houston in November, and we got them back in New Orleans in late December. The Rockets are just ahead of us in the standings with their 43-25 record. They’re 16-17 on the road this season, and their only […]

Ta tee ta toe. The Hornets wrap up their four-game road trip tonight in Chicago. The Bulls are also on a segababa, having lost in Philly last night, their third straight defeat. That gives them a 29-37 record overall, still in the mix with five other teams for the final playoff spot in the East. […]

Rough start for both teams tonight in Milwaukee. Effort and hustle was there but nobody could buy a bucket. 14-14 after Q1. Our bench woes then put us in yet another hole and the starters had to work hard to get the lead back before halftime. Great interior D and excellent rebounding got it done. […]

Let’s go get them Bucks. We’ve won eight of nine, Peja is not expected to play (how bad is that back anyway?). The Bucks are 30-37 on the season, 19-13 at home, fighting to stay ahead of several teams for the final playoff spot in the East. They’ve lost four of five coming into this […]
