Thanks to some fantastic people over at Hornets HQ, we were able to organize an interview and photo shoot with Shannon the Honeybee last Wednesday. It all went down at the New Orleans Riverwalk. Enjoy… To start, can you give us a mini-bio of yourself? I’m from Chalmette, Louisiana. I’ve been a Honeybee for three […]

If you made it to a game at the Arena this past season, you're probably familiar with Mikey. He was the guy busting a lung from the front row of 303. I first met him while waiting for the streetcar to take me to the Hornets-Sonics game back on December 10th. He turned out to […]

For me, it started on Wednesday, December 5th. That night at the Arena, we got blown out by the Pistons with only 10,312 people in the stands, most of them not at all convinced that this NBA thing was going to last in Louisiana. The atmosphere was pretty good despite the loss. Cheap tickets, Dance […]

So the Spurs came up big and got the Game 7 win over our Hornets here in New Orleans last night. Four losses in five games to end your season is tough to swallow, but it was a great ride nonetheless. For the last time this season, here's your news wrap… We'll open it up […]

This is it. Game 7. One team will advance, the other will go home.  On one side we have the visiting Spurs: A wily veteran team who've been there before and will resist the youth movement to get there again. Or are they just broken heroes on a last-chance power drive? And then we have […]

It's almost here. Hornets-Spurs. Game 7. Tonight at 7:30 Central. Ryan just delivered a fine post ahead of the madness. So go read that first. Then come back to this one and see what the internets been saying about the 100th Game 7 in NBA history. To tip, Jim Eichnehofer was at Hornets practice yesterday, […]

If you're an old-school visitor to Hornets247, you might remember we used to throw out some trivia questions here on the regular. But then I was quizzed by police about my neighbor's missing undergarments and any kind of questioning has since proved extremely traumatic for me. But I'm nothing if not a pervert warrior, so […]

A fine Sunday afternoon it be here in New Orleans. I should really go do some outside stuff today. Volleyball perhaps. Hmm… But ahead of all that madness, here's what's being said about the Spurs and Hornets on the internets today. Enjoy! Actually, before we get to the linkage, let's get some information out there […]

Typical: I have more time to do this stuff on the weekends but then there's not as much to link up. Screw you, world. We'll start off with the Horry/West stuff again. Mike Monroe and Mike Finger team up in the San Antonio Express-News to tell us that the NBA has reviewed Horry's hit and […]

Game 6 is done, the Spurs held serve at home, and now we wait for Game 7 on Monday. Lots to get to today with Hornets-Spurs being the only game last night and everyone in the world wanting to weigh in on a certain incident that occurred in the fourth quarter. Buckle up. This might […]

Game 7 it is then. As has been the story all series, the home team came away with the blow out victory tonight. After a great, competitive first half, the third quarter was again the difference as the Spurs outscored our Hornets 20-12 and built up a 15-point lead. Manu Ginobili dropped a couple of […]

Alright, so we've got Game 6 in San Antonio tonight. The Spurs need the win to stay alive and force a deciding Game 7 on Monday. Victory for the Hornets would put us in the Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history. Tyson Chandler and David West are apparently healthy enough to lace […]

Game 6 goes down this evening in San Antonio, with the Spurs needing a win to avoid elimination at the hands of our Hornets. Here's the usual bunch of notes, quotes and anecdotes from around the web… Let's start it off with updates on the injuries to Tyson Chandler and David West. Here's words from […]

The Hornets took Game 5 at the Hive last night, securing a 3-2 series lead and putting the defending champion Spurs on the brink of elimination. Today, they had to delete all the porn off the internet so everyone would have room to talk about it. Here's what I found… We'll open it up with […]

Man, both these teams suck on the road. The series swung back to New Orleans tonight and our Hornets were back in business, using a massive 28-11 third quarter to sting the Spurs and put ourselves back in control. David West was nothing short of monstrous on the night, Chris Paul was Chris Paul, and […]

Here we go, folks. The Hornets will host the Spurs tonight for a pivotal Game 5. Win, and we have two shots to take the series. Lose, and there's a good chance there will be no more games at the Arena this season. So make no mistake: this one is big. Stuff to know… Game […]

Big-massive-huge Game 5 between the Hornets and Spurs goes down at the New Orleans Arena this evening. Here's a billion links before the madness consumes us… From Chris Colston in USA Today… The team that wins Game 5 in a best-of-seven that was tied 2-2 has gone on to win 118 of 141 series (83.7%).

The Spurs dismantled the Hornets in San Antonio last night and tied things up at two games apiece. Ryan wrapped it up here at Hornets247 last night. Time now to scour the web and see what's being said… We'll jump it up with Jim Eichenhofer's recap over at The Official… San Antonio connected on 51.3 […]
