And so begins the longest road trip of the season. The Hornets are in Indianapolis today to face the Pacers. Those guys play in the East, where the rims are bigger and the guard dogs have less teeth, or so I've heard. Gonna skip the opposing team imagery today and just give you Tyson Chandler […]

On December 5th last, I attended my first Hornets game. The Detroit Pistons, one of the top-tier teams in the NBA the last half decade, were in town on a Wednesday night and just over 10,000 people showed up to see them take on the home team. There wasn't much noise when the Hornets raced […]

Twas a glorious time at the New Orleans Arena tonight. The Boston Celtics, owners of the NBA's best record, sweepers of Texas and hyped by all the media in the land, came into the Hive and found out first-hand what we've been seeing all season: The Hornets are for real. Notes from 305… Final score […]

One of the most anticipated games of the season for the Hornets at the Arena tonight. The Boston Celtics are in town, fresh off their sweep of Texas and boasting an NBA-best 55 wins. But fear not; the Hornets are badass in their own right. Should be a good battle. Game info… Hornets (W-L): 46-21 […]

A fine game at the Arena tonight. The Hornets sputtered through the first half before turning it on after intermission and blitzing the visiting Rockets. Rafer Alston didn't feel much like talking afterwards. Let's dive into the notes… Final score was 90-69 ( box score | recap | standings ). We had a tough time […]

No preview post today, so I'm getting this gameday thread up nice and early. Hornets vs. Rockets tonight at the Hive. Let's kick it off with some imagery… Now I'm not saying we should shoot Rafer Alston or anything; I just really really really want the Hornets to shut him up tonight. Dude's mouth-to-game ratio […]

Some shizzle for your perusal on a Tuesday evening. We'll start with another image of Chris Paul from last night's game… (source: NOLA.com) It's actually that same moment captured in the pic atop the game recap, but this angle really captures the fire in his eyes, that primal killer instinct, the absolute refusal to be […]

Chris Paul, man. The kid is just incredible. There was I hoping he wouldn't play tonight for fear he'd worsen that ankle, then he comes out and drops 37 points (15-of-21 FGs), 13 assists and 3 steals on the Chicago Bulls. Stuff of legend. Chris scored 16 points in the fourth quarter alone, leading the […]

The Chicago Bulls are in town to take on the Hornets on this fine St. Paddy's Day. The Bulls have lost three of four, but did have the whole weekend off to contemplate life and the wonders thereof. Notables… Hornets (W-L): 44-21 Bulls (W-L): 26-39 Game Time: 7:00pm Central. TV: CST Radio: KMEZ 102.9 FM […]

The Hornets are in Detroit today to take on the Pistons. It's a matinée showing due to ABC picking the game up and broadcasting it a country seriously deprived of Hornets basketball. Welcome to the party, America. Game info… Hornets (W-L): 44-20 Pistons (W-L): 47-18 Game Time: 12:00pm Central. TV: ABC Radio: KMEZ 102.9 FM […]

I'm both happy and disappointed with the win tonight. On one hand, we beat another top-tier Western Conference team, despite some horrible officiating. On the other, the Lakers were missing their two starting big men, so we really should have turned it into a blowout instead of having our starters in there until the death. […]

Hey look! Another big game! The LA Lakers are in town this evening to take on the Hornets. Of course, that means we get to see two supernatural MVP candidates balling their asses off. Oh yes, it's the battle everyone wants to see… Kobe Bryant vs. Melvin Ely.  Game info… Hornets (W-L): 43-20 Lakers (W-L): […]

Some shizzle to pass away the evening… Lots of talk today on the internets about Bruce Bowen's cheap shot on Chris Paul last night. Here's Henry Abbott's take on the whole thing… Here's what I saw: One of the gems of the NBA, young Chris Paul — tiniest of MVP candidates — heads to the […]

Nothing short of a huge, massive and colossal win by the Hornets at the Arena tonight. They stood up to the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, refusing to be pushed around and bullied out of the game. The result was an emphatic blowout victory, which ties the season series between the teams at two apiece. […]

Last of the season series between the Hornets and Spurs at the New Orleans Arena tonight. A win for us would tie it at 2-2, which might work nice when it comes to judgment day. Info… Hornets (W-L): 42-20 Spurs (W-L): 44-19 Game Time: 7:00pm Central. TV: CST Radio: KMEZ 102.9 FM in New Orleans […]

Not much Hornets-related stuff on the internets as the team takes a three-day break between games. Allow me to fill the void with some shizzle… As you've no doubt heard by now, CST and the Dish Network have agreed on a multiyear deal, meaning everyone can now see the Hornets on TV here in New […]

I can't be mad at the loss tonight. I'm pretty proud of the way the Hornets played. The Rockets are red hot right now, but we refused to just roll over and give them another win without a fight. We got down big a couple of times, but managed to rally back and make a […]

The Hornets are in Houston this evening, trying to snap the Rockets' 17-game winning streak and avenge that 20-point drubbing they dealt us at the Arena two weeks ago. The noteworthy stuff… Hornets (W-L): 42-19 Rockets (W-L): 41-20 Game Time: 7:30pm Central. TV: CST and NBA-TV Radio: KMEZ 102.9 FM in New Orleans and WIBR […]

Lots of good things to take from last night's win over the visiting New Jersey Nets. The Hornets did kinda sleepwalk through the first half and should have turned the game into a complete blowout, but I'll choose to focus on the positive today. It is the weekend after all. Notes, from my notebook to […]

Tonight: The New Jersey Nets take on your New Orleans Hornets at the Arena. Four tough games beyond this one so a win would be glorious. Based on their record, you could say that the Nets suck, but as Tyson Chandler told SI.com, everybody's gunning for the Hornets these days… "Teams get up for us. […]
