  • Half-assed Preview: Spurs @ Hornets

    The defending NBA champions, the San Antonio Spurs, will be in New Orleans this evening to take on the Hornets. Game time is set for 7pm Central and apparently there's a whole bunch of tickets left, so, to echo John DeShazier, get your ass to the Arena if you're in N.O. tonight. This game should […]

  • The Blazers beat the Hornets

    That 4-0 start was nice, but it's over now. There goes our five-game winning streak heading into that match-up with the Spurs tomorrow. Tim Duncan would have been all like "Shit, the Hornets are unbeaten and I'm therefore extremely intimidated and will likely go scoreless in this contest," but now instead he'll be all like […]

  • The Hornets beat the Lakers

    Hoo-rah! Still unbeaten! Hornets 118 – Lakers 104 … recap | box | video Man, that was one helluva game last night. I want to have two kids right now just so I can name them after Peja Stojakovic and Chris Paul. Insane numbers. 10 threes from Peja, 21 dimes from Paul, both franchise records. […]

  • Half-assed Preview: Hornets @ Lakers

    Four and oh? We'll find out this evening when the Hornets take on the Lakers out in L.A., where they say the smog is the reason they have such beautiful sunsets. The Lakers are 2-1 on the season, which means they've won two games and lost one (see how it works?). It was a late […]

  • The Hornets beat the Nuggets

    Great win for the Hornets yesterday in Denver. Final score was 93-88. That's 3-0 to start the season, which last I checked was pretty damn fantastic. The Hornets started slow, but appeared to be the team in control pretty much all game, though they did get lucky with some calls down the stretch. Still, they […]

  • The Hornets beat the Blazers

    Another impressive display by the Hornets yesterday, as they easily handled the visiting Portland Trail Blazers, winning 113-93 (recap | box | video). Pretty much everyone played well, Julian Wright got some PT and the attendance was horrible. That's about as much as I can afford to tell today. Busy busy and all that. I'll […]

  • Half-assed Preview: Hornets vs. Blazers

    The Hornets look to improve their already-gleaming record to 2-0 this evening when they host the Portland Trail Blazers at the N.O. Arena. Game time is set for 7pm Central. I'm pretty much all tapped out at the end of a hectic week, so excuse my laziness today. I won't be doing much previewing for […]

  • The Hornets beat the Kings

    Oh yeah, baby! Put on your favorite music, do your spontaneous victory dance, ask out someone way hotter than you. Then rejoice, for the Hornets are unbeaten this season. Yup, game one of the season is done, and the Hornets cruised to an easy W. A big-ass chunk of news and notes coming at you… […]

  • Half-assed preview: The season starts here

    Man, I'm pumped. The Hornets get the real season rolling this evening when they take on the Sacramento Kings at the Arena in sweet home New Orleans. Methinks it's gonna be the best damn game of basketball in the history of the universe. There's already been a bunch of previews done elsewhere for this game, […]

  • Chad Shinn Bloggerview – Part 1

    People, people, people. I've actually got something more for you today than just me talking in circles. Thanks to the initiative of fellow Hornets blogger Ryan Schwan and the help of the one and only Michael Thompson (the Hornets Director of Corporate Communications), I was recently able to submit six questions to be answered by […]

  • Rookie highlight videos

    Just a quick post to tell you about a couple of funky highlight videos over at Yahoo! Sports. They seem to have college highlights of all this season's rookies. Actually, they've probably been there for months, but I've just seen them. Anyway, check out the videos for Julian Wright and Adam Haluska. And if you're […]

  • The Hornets beat the Bobcats

    Happy days, the preseason is over! The Hornets actually had a pretty good showing last night against the Bobcats, despite missing David West (ankle sprain) and Tyson Chandler (resting). Let's dive into bullet-mode and throw some thoughts around… So yeah, the Hornets won. Final score was 111-100 (recap | box | photos). Our guys managed […]

  • Half-assed Preview: Hornets vs. Bobcats

    This evening, the Hornets will finish up this pain-in-the-nuts preseason, playing the Charlotte Bobcats in Chris Paul's hometown of Winston-Salem. Game time is set for 7:30pm Central. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Can someone tell me if this counts as a home game or as a road game for the Hornets? I'm not […]

  • The Hawks beat the Hornets

    The Hornets dropped to 3-4 in the preseason with yesterday's 107-98 loss to the Hawks. Highlights included Hilton Armstrong's 25-point, 14-rebound performance, a nice contribution off the bench from Melvin Ely, and Peja Stojakovic playing 25 minutes without wincing. On the down side, we had Morris Peterson and David West combining to shoot 2-of-15 from […]

  • Half-assed Preview: Hawks at Hornets

    The Hornets are back in New Orleans for this evening's oh-so exciting match-up with the Atlanta Hawks. Just one more preseason game after this, and then it's all about the big bad regular season, where the games actually matter and Morris Peterson might hit more than 30% of his shots. Anyways, let's dive into bullet […]

  • Hornets wanted Troy Bell?

    I was just stumbling around the internet like a bored fool when I came across this Troy Bell interview over at SLAMonline. You might remember him from his stint at the Hornets training camp two years back. The bit I found interesting in that interview… Slam: Who did you expect to draft you? Was it […]

  • Hornets beat Heat, Mavs beat Hornets, I’m wary of French people

    Man, what a weekend. I'd never before been attacked by so many goats. While I was away, the Hornets beat the Heat and lost to the Mavs. Some notes, observations and other such goodness coming at you after the dot dot dot… Peja didn't suit up for Miami, but he played in Dallas last night, […]
