The Hornets take on the Sacramento Kings at New Orleans Arena tonight, game tipping a little after 7pm. We’ve lost four of six, they’ve lost four of five, so it should be a good old-fashioned battle to determine who sucks less. Seriously though, I’m expecting a much better showing by the Hornets tonight. The players […]

The Hornets have lost four of their past six games. In that stretch, we’ve managed to score 100 points just once, against a visiting Miami Heat team who have given up an average of 102.5 points in their other four road games this season, three of them losses. Through those same six games, we’ve witnessed […]

Before we dive into bullet mode, let me say that the win over the Blazers tonight doesn’t do much to wash away the bad taste left by the loss to the Lakers on Wednesday. I’ll repeat the comment I left on Ryan’s recap of that game: The Lakers are running a much more sophisticated offense […]

The Hornets will try bounce back from that deflating loss to the Lakers on Wednesday as they host the Portland Trail Blazers this evening, game tipping a little after 7pm. The visitors got Greg Oden back from injury on Wednesday and are currently 5-3 on the season. They lost their first three games on the […]

Here come the Lakers, all unbeaten and popular and talked about. Apparently they’ve got the best defense since the Great Wall and their bench alone would beat the Spurs in a seven-game series. (Although with all those injuries in San An, I’m pretty sure James Posey could do the same solo.) Game tips a few […]

The Hornets finally stopped sucking last night, snapping out of a two-game slide with a 100-89 win over the visiting Miami Heat. Let’s dive right to bullet mode. Apologies in advance for the complete lack of coherence. Killed my brain last night. Let’s start with a happy-positive-feel-good bullet: Chris Paul did the 20/10 thing again. […]

Two straight losses and suddenly the Hornets are in danger of falling to .500. Miami will try to prolong our misery tonight as they roll into New Orleans, fresh off a 99-83 beatdown of the wounded Spurs. Game tips right after 7 Central. No game preview from Ryan today because he’s busy with the real […]

Well, I’m not quite sure where to begin with this one. I was expecting our guys to come out like Tony Jaa in The Protector, and for the first two or so minutes it was all going according to plan. But soon thereafter began the suckage, peaking with a 7-point second quarter which took a […]

Tonight the Hornets are back to where it all began almost exactly twenty years ago: Charlotte, North Carolina. Little time for reminiscing though as Chris Paul and team look to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Hawks on Wednesday. We need to flex muscle and kick ass from tip to buzzer. I wanna […]

Thanks to a legendary ticket rep named Blake, I was able to join a bunch of other season ticket holders ahead of the Hornets-Hawks game yesterday for a “Chalk Talk” session with Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower. We were led into the bowels of New Orleans Arena, past a chill looking Byron Scott in the […]

There we go crashing back down to earth. After treating us to some nice victories in the season’s first week, the Hornets ran into an athletic and hungry Hawks team tonight. Let’s dive right into the notes… I’ll start it off by giving a lot of credit to the opponent. The Hawks are a better […]

Something’s gotta give tonight as the Hornets welcome the Atlanta Hawks to New Orleans Arena. Our guys have started the season 3-0 while the Atliens are also unbeaten at 2-0, having defeated Orlando and Philly in week one. Game tips a little after 7pm Central. Feel free to talk it up in the comments. Linkage: […]

We’re just over one week deep into the newest version of Hornets247, and I’m gonna go ahead and highlight some of the goodness that we’ve seen already. Diving right in: Wallpapers Dariusz has been busy adding to the Wallpapers section. There’s now ten Hornets walls in there, including two fresh off the workspace. Also, many […]

The Hornets have returned home to get the season jumping in New Orleans. We look nice with a 2-0 record but vulnerable without the services of Tyson Chandler and Peja Stojakovic (both day-to-day) against the Cavs. Cleveland lost their opener on the road in Boston last Tuesday, but have since beat up on the Bobcats […]

My first Halloween in New Orleans last night. Madness. Myself and a few friends headed downtown to the French Quarter and fought our way through the crowds towards even bigger crowds on Frenchmen Street. Aliens, Elvises, Sarah Palins, Jokers, hot Asian chick cops, ghostbusters, Josh Howard Towelie, Napoleon Dynamite, Tina Turner, jellyfish, Zorro… …and Rasual […]
