With our guys coming off a flawless three game road trip and playing their first home game of 2008, the Arena was hyped for the Hornets to take on Coby Karl Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. Unfortunately, the game sucked. It sucked a lot. Here's how…   Pregame Melvin Ely is out […]

Just gonna throw this out for some fun. In the comments for the last post, Bob suggested we start calling David West "The Finisher." I'm not entirely sold on that idea, but dude definitely needs a nickname. Any more suggestions?

So this past evening the Hornets rolled into Phoenix to play the Suns, who just so happened to have the best record in the Western Conference at 23-9. Add to that, the Hornets were coming off a fine but exhausting win in Golden State yesterday, and David West would not be available due to that […]

As I'm writing this, that movie The Hulk is on USA, and I'm thinking that dude has nothing on Tyson Chandler, who had himself a game against the Warriors tonight. Dateless again, I had nothing better to do than stay in and take some notes… First Quarter Rookie Brandan Wright, taken eighth in last year's […]

Time for the Hornets to get back on track and shake off that lousy loss to the Raptors on New Year's Eve. They're in LA to play the Clippers, and Jordy Hultberg reminds us in CST's pregame show that the Hornets have already won twice in the Staples Center this season. In those two games, […]

I've been meaning to get this posted for a long time now, so please forgive my lazy ass. Dariusz Ejkiewicz, known to a wider crowd since 2001 as Fartman and the very same dude who brought us the legendary 82 nights of Destruction a few months back, has delivered again. This time, Morris Peterson takes […]

I'm gonna take a pass on the usual game flow notes today, and just jump straight to crunch time of Hornets-Raptors last night. After Chris Paul uncharacteristically missed two free throws that would have put the Hornets up one with 25 seconds left, the Raps grabbed the board and called timeout. They inbound in the […]

Coming into the game yesterday, the Hornets had a nice-but-flawed winning streak going on. Sure, we'd won four straight by an average of 20 points, but those opponents had the combined winning percentage of Tim Floyd: NBA Edition. Then along came the Cleveland Cavaliers. True, they've got a losing record, too, but they had just […]

Bam! Make it a four-game winning streak, and we just sneaked ahead of Dallas in the standings. Yup, the Hornets done beat the Bobcats on this fine evening, and not even an NBA TV blackout in New Orleans could ruin it for me. Here's the usual dose of notes regarding said game of splendid basketball… […]

Whoo! Damn that was an impressive win last night. I'm late writing this thing up because a couple bars got in my way coming home from Cooter Brown's last night. Those folks have League Pass and threw the game on a big screen for me and Mikey SeasonTickets. Add to that an alligator sausage po-boy […]

Twas three nights before Christmas, and all through New Orleans Arena, the Hornets kicked ass. Oh yeah, our guys took care of business last night, crucifying the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves, 110-76 (box | recap). I was in the building with a pen and a pad and one of my better shirts. Here's how it all […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves roll into New Orleans today with their league-worst 4-21 record. Our 16-10 Hornets will be waiting, as they try to build on their demolition of the Sonics in Seattle on Wednesday. Today's game really should be another easy one for the Hornets, but then the T-Wolves have already beaten us up in […]

The Hornets were in Portland last night, and as expected, Peja Stojakovic sits out once again with that groin strain. I guess it's a good sign though that he's on this road trip. The Hornets start with the same five as they did for Phoenix: Chris Paul, Morris Peterson, Rasual Butler, David West and Tyson […]

Beer: $1Water: $3 That was the price list at the pregame BuzzFest yesterday, and the evening only got crazier from there. The BuzzFest delivered that same party atmosphere outside the Arena, something methinks I could never tire of. There was a dude on stilts dancing with random people, dozens of kids descending on a toppled […]

Dammit, that game sucked. Not only did we get beat 80-89 by the Mavericks, but pretty much everyone played like a dog and Peja Stojakovic aggravated that groin strain again. It doesn't look good for Phoenix tomorrow. But before we look too far ahead, let me revisit the misery of today's game… First Quarter It […]

Just got done watching Hornets-Nuggets. Actually, I only caught the second half because Cox messed up my cable installation and it took me way too long on the phone to get it fixed. Anyways, the Hornets lost. 105-99. I don't have a bunch of notes for you on this one, but here's a few observations… […]

I decided to head to the Hornets-Sonics game early yesterday to catch some of that pregame Buzzfest all the cool kids talk about. Instead of biking it this time, I hopped on the streetcar and got talking with a Hornets season ticket holder named Mikey, who turned out to be super cool.  Down outside the […]

Man, last night was a trip. I really don't have the time, transport or cash to attend every Hornets game right now, but with Cox pissing about with my cable hook-up, my only way to see the game last night was to get my ass to the Arena. Damn glad I did. To hell with […]

My first Hornets game, and they have the nerve to lose the damn thing. We looked good early, killing them in the first quarter behind a hot start from Peja Stojakovic, but the Pistons never looked worried and chipped into that lead, took control, and didn't look back. Final score was 91-76. Linkage: recap | […]

Man, this moving thing is crazy. Trying to find an apartment with a dance pole, a water slide and off-street parking is so much harder than I thought. What's a guy to do? My posting will remain about as consistent as Morris Peterson for a few more days, until I get myself into a routine. […]
