Twas a rough one at the Arena tonight. The Hornets and Jazz both started hot out of the gate, each team shooting above fifty percent in the first quarter. It was all downhill from there though, as the sellout crowd endured both squads trying hard to suck less than the other. In the end, it […]

Great game ahead this evening with the Utah Jazz in town to battle the Hornets. Chris Paul vs. Deron Williams, David West vs. Carlos Boozer, me vs. old ladies and fat kids to get a Peja Stojakovic bobblehead. Should be fun. Stuff to know… Hornets (W-L): 54-22 Jazz (W-L): 51-26 Game Time: 7:00pm Central. TV: […]

The Hornets done won another one today, getting revenge on that same Golden State Warriors team that stole a victory at the Arena back in January. A sellout crowd was in attendance to see the vengeance, and they roared their approval as the Hornets won their 11th straight at home and tied a franchise record […]

Our old friend Baron Davis is back in town with his Golden State Warriors today, and they'll meet our Hornets for an early one at the Arena. It's a nationally televised game, so America will get to see a fine crowd in attendance and hopefully another Hornets victory. A win would of course give us […]

Not only is today, April 5th, the Hornets' 21st birthday, but it's also Unsung Player Day. To mark the occasion, I've decided to sing about Peja Stojakovic. I tried to learn Peja's favorite Serbian song — you know, the one about the shoe polish — so I could make a music video and post some […]

Twenty-one years ago today, George Shinn's phone rang. He answered to find NBA Commissioner David Stern on the line. The commish wanted to inform Shinn that a decision had been made on his application for an NBA franchise in Charlotte, North Carolina… "Congratulations." April 5th, 1987. The birth of the Hornets.

Hello, Playoffs. The win over the Knicks tonight at New Orleans Arena ensured some teal in the postseason for the first time since 2004. The Hornets, who finished with just 18 wins three seasons ago and were left out in the cold during last year's Playoffs, became the first team in the insanely tough Western […]

The Hornets are finally back at the New Orleans Arena tonight, ready to face the hapless New York Knicks. A win will clinch us a Playoff spot, whereas a loss wouldn't make much sense. Game info… Hornets (W-L): 52-22 Knicks (W-L): 20-55 Game Time: 7:00pm Central. TV: CST locally, League Pass elsewhere. Radio: KMEZ 102.9 […]

The Hornets wrapped up an unprecedented road trip in Miami yesterday. That demolition of the Heat gave them five victories on the trip; something no team in franchise history could claim before. To show our appreciation for a job well done, a group of us fans decided to show up at Louis Armstrong International last […]

The Hornets played a rather uninspiring three quarters of basketball tonight, but the reserves came in and turned it into a blowout in the fourth quarter, thus ensuring a franchise-best fifth win on the road trip. Half-assed notes for a half-assed performance… Final score was 106-77 ( recap | box score | standings ). The […]

Ryan's busy today, so we're lacking his positional analysis ahead of the Miami game this evening. Here's my abbreviated version: Point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, center and bench: advantage Hornets. Yeah, the Heat are that bad. They've lost 15 of 17 coming into this one, and have managed to score an average […]

Crazy win in Orlando tonight. You might even say we stole this one. It came down to the Hornets trailing 92-95 with a minute and five remaining. Mo Evans gets called for a foul on Mo Peterson as the latter breaks into the backcourt for the inbound. Foul away from the ball; that's one shot […]

Two games left in this, the longest road trip of the season for the Hornets. They'll wrap it up in Florida, playing the Orlando Magic tonight and the Miami Heat tomorrow. The Heat suck, the Magic don't. Instead of an image today, we'll go with a random video clip from the last time the Hornets […]

A nice showing by the Hornets up in Toronto this evening, where they led the Raptors by double digits for most of the game and wound up with win number 50 on the season. Unfortunately, our bench decided to suck major ass in the fourth quarter and almost blew a 22-point lead. In a move […]

The Hornets will try bounce back from their loss in Boston on Friday when they take on the Raptors in Toronto this evening. The Raps are led by All-Star forward Chris Bosh, who's very excited about playing the basketball… Game info… Hornets (W-L): 49-22 Raptors (W-L): 37-35 Game Time: 5:00pm Central. TV: CST Radio: KMEZ […]

What can I say? All teams have those nights. Tonight was a life lesson. Sometimes life lessons come in the form of ass-whippings. Indeed. The Hornets got paid back for their defeat of the Celtics last week, getting blown out by the C's up in Boston last night. It was all good at halftime, with […]

Some link-heavy shizzle for your good selves on a fine Thursday evening… After the Cavs-Hornets highlights this morning, ESPN showed Chris Paul's stats in games against other MVP-candidates this season. Against Garnett, Kobe and LeBron, CP has averaged 22 points, 13.2 assists, 3.7 boards, 3.2 steals and just 1.8 turnovers. His shooting hasn't been great […]

What a finish. I was just about ready to criticize David West's performance against the Cavaliers tonight. He couldn't get a body on Anderson Varejao all game, didn't get his first rebound until the third quarter, passed up several open jumpers, shot the ball poorly and never figured out the double teams down low. But […]

Tonight the Hornets be battling the Cavaliers at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. That likely means mucho MVP talk, since Chris Paul will be sharing the court with that Lebron James kid, who has also been known to play the basketball quite well from time to time. I'm sure CP could care less about […]

Definitely not the best of performances from the Hornets tonight, but in the end they came away with a W over the Pacers. Actually, not only did we start off the six-game road trip with a win, but David West once again teabagged the opinion of Rafer Alston, while Chris Andersen finally got to spread […]
