The Hornets get tested big-time tonight when they square off with the defending champion Celtics in Boston (7 Central, ESPN). Boston have the NBA’s best record at 21-2, they’ve won 13 straight overall, and 7 straight at home. Not gonna be easy. Apparently new Hornet Antonio Daniels won’t be available to play tonight, but everyone […]

Twas a real nice stomping by the Hornets tonight. Our starters came out and set the tone early, the bench played pretty well in the second quarter, and by halftime we were looking good with 19-point lead. The game was blown open completely in the third quarter, with more of the same dominance at both […]

First of all, in case you haven’t heard, the Hornets are already winners today since they traded Mike James for Antonio Daniels. But let’s try focus on the game, since Daniels won’t suiting up for the Hornets until Friday at the earliest. So these Bobcats beat us back in November and are now 7-14 on […]

This just in from NOLA.com: The New Orleans Hornets are close to finalizing a three-team trade deal this morning that will send Mike James to the Washington Wizards in exchange for guard Antonio Daniels. The trade deal also includes the Memphis Grizzlies. Since Tuesday, the Wizards with the Grizzlies have been trade negotiations. The Grizzlies […]

Lookie here. The Grizzlies are 5-14 on the season, and will be looking for their first win streak tonight, having beat the woeful Clippers last night in Memphis. Rudy Gay and OJ Mayo combined for 45 in that one to break a seven-game skid for the Grizz. Game gets tipped a little after 7 in […]

I know the last thing you want to do on a Friday evening is think, but here’s some trivia anyways. How much are the Hornets worth? What’s David West’s middle name? Who does Jannero Pargo play for? Which Hornet has the most technical fouls so far this season? Tyson Chandler = Pale Ale. Why? What’s […]

I stumbled across the following tidbit in a random blog recently: 11/28/1992:Scoring 57 points in only 38 minutes, Reggie Miller hits 16 of 29 from the field and 21 of 23 at the foul line as he leads the Indiana Pacers to a 134-122 rout of the Charlotte Hornets at the Hive. It seemed odd […]

After a three-game road trip followed by a five-day layoff, the Hornets finally return to the New Orleans Arena tonight to do battle with the Phoenix Suns. Those guys are 11-7 on the season, having lost their last two in the desert to the Heat and Nets. Dwyane Wade and Devin Harris combined for 90 […]

Alright, time for some quick updates which don’t have much to do with the actual crossover dribbling and the three-point shooting and the boxing out of the opposing bigs because man we really could do with grabbing a rebound every now and then. Let’s go… Holiday Watch Party People say our season launch party was […]

I really shouldn’t complain too much about the game tonight. A 2-1 result on this road trip was about as good as I had hoped for. Beating the Nuggets last night was a nice surprise, but taking out the Blazers in Portland on a segababa is a lot to ask. The Rose Garden is a […]

The Hornets will try to build on yesterday’s impressive win in Denver when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers tonight, game tipping a little after 9:00 in the p.m. We’ve already seen the Blazers once this season, beating them 87-82 at New Orleans Arena two weeks ago. They’re 5-2 and since then, 10-6 overall, and […]

It’s no secret that the Hornets have been struggling this season. The offense has often looked stagnant, the defensive effort has been lacking, and Bill Simmons thinks he has a feeling that maybe there could be some tension brewing between Byron Scott and Chris Paul. Recent beat downs of some of the L’s worst teams […]

Due to our Hornets being all watchable and stuff, they get a primetime matchup with the Denver Nuggets tonight on TNT. Game tips a little after 9:30 Central, by which time we should all be good and fat and blurry. The Nuggs beat the Clippers in a tight one out in L.A. last night, and […]

The Hornets begin a three-game road trip when they take on the Clippers tonight in L.A. at 9:30 Central. The Clips currently have the third-worst record in the NBA universe (2-11). They also have our old friend Baron Davis of the Davises. Tonight’s game isn’t on CST, so go find yourself some League Passness or […]

Ho hum. That’s pretty much my reaction to the game tonight. We certainly didn’t dominate like we did last night in Oklahoma City, but it was a pretty good game for the fans, Chirs Paul and David West put up sexy numbers, and there’s free Popeyes chicken wraps for anyone who wants one. Let’s get […]

Not much new to say here. We just saw these guys last night in OKC. They sucked pretty bad. We won by 25. Their coach got fired after the game. I’d expect more of the same (sans the pink slip) tonight. This is a nice stretch for our guys to get some confidence back and […]

I’m not a religious man, but please oh please oh please god don’t let us lose to the Thunder tonight. Amen. Game tips a little after 8:30pm, late start because ESPN are doing the televisual thing. I’ll be checking in on the comments regularly throughout the evening. Linkage: Ryan’s game preview / analysis of the […]

With the Hornets sitting at .500 after losing five of seven, now would probably be a good time for a distraction. So here’s some head-scratchers. Have at ’em. Which player has scored the most points against the Hornets so far this season? Who the hell is Rob Bacage? Which fish gives Tyson Chandler the most […]

I guess it gets worse before it gets better. The odds couldn’t have been much more in the Hornets’ favor tonight. We were hosting a 4-8 Kings team — playing without a pair of starters and a key reserve — that had been blown out the night before in Memphis. Our guys hadn’t played since […]
