3:21 left in the game tonight, the Hornets trailing by nine points. Baron Davis pulls up and sinks a long three over Jannero Pargo and Chris Paul. As folks start heading for the exits, I scribble down four words in my notes… Baron. Deep. Salt. Wounds. This game was strange in many ways. Firstly, we […]

The Golden State Warriors are in New Orleans tonight, and that means we get to welcome Baron Davis back to the Big Easy for the first time since we traded him for, well, pretty much nothing back in 2005. Of course, we done picked up the anti-Baron in the draft a few months later and […]

I stumbled across this blog today, where an interesting idea be brewing… "My challenge to Mr Shinn: Have one game a year in the Superdome, let it count toward the average attendance benchmark, and I'll buy two season tickets." Could this really work? The writer, Ashley Morris, asked John DeShazier of the Times-Picayune for his […]

Everyone knows Mikey. He's the New Orleans Hornets mega-fan who yells his head off at every home game (and the odd road game within driving distance) and always has a comment or three for radio host Joe Block at the postgame show at Gordon Biersch. The dude always has something to say. But, with 3:34 […]

The Hornets will try to keep the good times rolling tonight as they host Allen Iverson and the Denver Nuggets at the New Orleans Arena. Our guys are coming off Saturday's superfunky win in San Antonio, while the Nuggs dropped one in Dallas yesterday. The Nuggets have been without Carmelo Anthony for the past few […]

What the Hornets did in San Antonio last night was nothing short of pure dominance. Our guys rolled into town with a swagger and may have finally convinced the basketball world that New Orleans is for real. How can we be ignored after handing the defending champs their biggest loss of the season on their […]

The Hornets are in San Antonio today to face the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. They've got Tim Duncan, Tony Longoria, Manu Ginobili and some other dudes, but methinks we can take 'em. After last night's defeat of the Clippers in New Orleans, the Hornets have won seven straight overall. We've also got a seven-game […]

I'll keep this one short and sweet because there's way too much fun to be had in this town right now, and it ain't good for the social life to be inside typing all day. Carnival season is in full swing in New Orleans, and there have been parades rolling past my place all day. […]

The LA Clippers are in New Orleans today to play the Hornets. Should we win, we'll have a big and sexy seven-game winning streak heading to San Antonio tomorrow. This is the third of four meetings between the Hornets and Clippers this season. We won the previous two out in LA, by 9 points and […]

Just a quick post to let all you super-fantastic people know about the launch of CP3TV.com. To quote the press release, CP3TV.com is "a behind-the-scenes look into the life of Chris Paul as a professional basketball player away from the court. Through a season-long series of short webisodes, Paul will provide viewers with an all-access […]

Wow! That one was fun to watch. The Hornets and Blazers are both playing some great basketball this season and this match-up didn't disappoint. Well, maybe it disappointed Blazer fans, but everyone else went home happy. Gonna switch it up a little again with this recap. Instead of pouring out the game-flow notes, I'll just […]

For tonight's game against the Blazers, we're gonna try something new. Well, new for us, because other NBA blogs have been doing this for forever. This post will serve as our gameday thread. Feel free to voice all your thoughts and observations about tonight's game in the comments below, and I'll throw a quick update […]

There was a good buzz going when I got to the Arena ahead of today's game. They had the big inflatable inflatables out front and there were a million kids running around ready to burst with excitement. The Hornets ran a promotion for the game where children under 12 could get in free when accompanied […]

I should have had this up three days ago but I was busy making up an excuse for the delay. My apologies. Here's another fresh and funky Hornets wallpaper from Dariusz Ejkiewicz, a.k.a. Fartman. This one features Chris Paul, Peja Stojakovic, David West and Tyson Chandler. Me likey. Links for the different resolutions below the […]

Riding the streetcar on the way to the game yesterday, Mikey gets talking with another season ticket holder who tells us he can't make the game tonight. He's trying to give away his two tickets, and I love free stuff so I gladly take them. At the Arena, I go looking for my free seat […]

With our team near the peak of the Western Conference with an oh-so-fantastic 26-12 record, there isn't much for us Hornets fans to complain about these days. Everyone is healthy, the bench is playing better, and our first round draft pick has been on the inactive list for the past three games. Oh wait, maybe […]

I'm feeling miserable ahead of this one. Sore throat, bad cough, stuffy nose, and for some reason my right eye feels like I just took an elbow from Kenyon Martin. It could be an allergic reaction to that Robitussin stuff, I guess. I've been out sick from work the past couple days and for the […]

Sweet. The Hornets just extended their road winning streak to seven games with a hard fought win over the Rockets in Houston. Here's how it all went down… Pregame Houston are riding a season-high five-game winning streak coming into this one, despite the absence of Tracy McGrady. He's missed the last nine games due to […]

Since just about all of you could watch last night's game nationally televised on ESPN, I took it easy on the note taking, kicked back and enjoyed the Hornets putting an ass-whupping on the Miami Heat. It was a nice bounce-back from the loss to the Lakers on Wednesday. Lose by 29. Win by 26. […]

Just a quick post to highlight what Jim Eichenhofer's got going on over at Hornets.com. He's collecting questions from fans which he'll later pose to Chris Paul, and CP will likely answer these questions with a variety of words and sentences. Click here to get to the Big Easy Buzz Blog and post your question. […]
