The Hornets barely broke a sweat as they demolished a severely depleted Clipper squad at the Arena tonight. Our guys didn’t look all that interested but still managed to win 107-80, our biggest margin of victory this season. Diving right into a bullet or two… Rasual Butler was the main event. He came out on […]

At last, the Hornets are back in New Orleans. It’s been three weeks since I’ve seen a game at the Arena so I’m all revved up for this one. The Clippers come in with a bad record and worse health. Zach Randolph (bellyache) and Chris Kaman (brain freeze) are both out, Baron Davis (being himself) […]

Time to forget all about that win in L.A. and get focused on the Jazz. The Hornets roll into Utah tonight for an 8pm tip (that be Central time). First meeting between these two clubs this season, and another chapter in the Chris Paul vs. Deron Williams saga. The Jazz are 20-15 on the season, […]

I’ll try real hard not to get carried away with this win, but I must admit that it’s gotten me pretty pumped. Sure, regular season results are a poor indication of how things will shake out in the playoffs, and I’m well aware that any team can beat any team on any given night in […]

Big game for our Hornets out in L.A. tonight. Thems Lakers are recognized as the cream of the crop in the West and have already beat us bad twice in New Orleans this season. The Lakers are 27-5 on the season and have won their last 15 games at the Staples Center. A win tonight […]

Whoopidee whoop, here we go again. The Hornets are fresh off their big win in Portland last night, but no time to celebrate as we roll into Denver tonight to face a Nuggets team hungry for vengeance (flashback). Tip off is at 8pm Central. The Nuggets were busy last night in Oklahoma City, needing a […]

I was going to throw a bunch of the Chandler vs. Przybilla stuff in a few Lagniappe posts, but figured it would be easier to keep it all together in a blog post instead. First, here’s some video (via Bust a Bucket) of last night’s incident: (My favorite part of that video: The same old […]

Now that’s how you start the new year. Twas a great performance by the Hornets in Portland tonight, going in and beating the Blazers 92-77, despite losing Tyson Chandler in the third quarter. The game had more drama than Britney Spears with HIV on TNT. Let’s get to it all in bullet mode… With four […]

Let’s start the new year with a big W on the road. Hornets-Blazers gets tipping at 9pm Central tonight, the first stop on a four game trip for New Orleans. The Balzers are 20-12 on the season, putting them a game behind us in the standings. They’re 12-3 at home, and beat us convincingly at […]

Yay, it’s the last game I miss before I return from the green place. Hornets-Wizards gets tipping tonight a little after the 7pm. Washington are owners of a deplorable record that I can’t even type because my keyboard gets offended. They have won two straight though, one of them just last night in Houston. Linkage: […]

The Hornets are back in New Orleans after a Christmas Day massacre in Orlando. Two straight embarrassing losses leaves us at a still respectable 16-9, but in dire need of a win against a quality opponent. The Rockets are 19-10 on the season, coming off a loss in Cleveland on Tuesday but they had won […]

Hornets-Lakers mega-rematch in New Orleans tonight. Should be lots of ohh’s and ahh’s and hopefully an abundance of yay’s from the home crowd. The 22-5 Lakers have appeared mortal of late by dropping a pair in Florida and looking generally less dominant than they did earlier in the season. Cooler heads say it’s nothing but […]

The Hornets are getting good at this whole payback thing. First the Bobcats, then the Spurs, and tonight they got some vengence against the Kings. The final score was 99-90. Mark it down as a four-game winning streak, six straight victories at home, and 11 wins in 13 tries. This team is making me believe […]

Tis time for another game. The Sacramento Kings are in town tonight, fresh off a loss to the Rockets and currently sporting a 7-20 record. They have beaten us already this season though, in New Orleans, and they stole one from the Lakers a couple of weeks back. So, you know, watch out. Game tips […]

Electric times at the Arena tonight. I hadn’t felt that buzz since the playoffs last May. The crowd was into it from the opening tip, went nuts when Chris Paul claimed a piece of history, and somehow found an even higher pitch when the Hornets made that kick-ass run down the stretch. Let’s dive right […]

Big game tonight in New Orleans, as the villainous Spurs return to the Crescent City for the first time since Game 7 of the playoffs last season. Que the boos. After a 2-5 start, the Spurs are back to not sucking. Having won their last six games, they now sport a 15-8 record, putting them […]

The Hornets roll into Memphis tonight (7pm tippage) for their last road game before Christmas (everybody say “Yay!”). We saw and beat the Grizz not even two weeks ago here in New Orleans, but they haven’t lost since, defeating Houston, OKC, Chicago and Miami to improve their record to a mighty 9-15. As a side […]

The Hornets try to bounce back from their loss in Boston when they take on the Raps North of the border this afternoon (11:30am tip). The Raptors are 10-12 on the season, 5-5 at home, coming off wins over the Pacers and Nets. (They held Vince Carter scoreless in the latter. Gotta love that after […]

Just wanted to remind everyone about our holiday watch party for tomorrow’s game at Handsome Willy’s. It’s all set to be the best party in the history of the universe. We’ll be getting started at about 10:30am, game tips an hour later. There’ll be good food, cheap drink, cool people, a few giveaways (Ryan Bowen […]

The Hornets didn’t go down without a fight tonight. They came into the house of the defending champs, a team that had won 13 straight games, and gave it all they had. The first half was nice to watch, with the Hornets playing some nice D, coming up with loose balls and running the break […]
