Baron Davis and the Clippers (17-19) in town tonight to take on the Hornets (19-17). Game tipping at 7 Central. This will be the third of four meetings between these teams this season. The Hornets won the previous two battles, with that 112-84 result in L.A. on November 9th still standing as their lone blowout […]

Ten years now since Bobby Phills passed away. Just a quick post to commemorate him. If you want to know more about Phills, check out the lengthy post we did last year. We also set up a Bobby Phills Facebook page a year ago and it’s nice to see that 504 people have become fans […]

The Hornets roll into Philadelphia this evening, searching their souls for a way to beat the 11-25 Sixers sans Hilton Armstrong. The Sixers have split their last six games. On Saturday they dealt the Pistons their 12th straight loss, and have had impressive wins against the Nuggets and Blazers in recent weeks. All those victories […]

The news was broken this afternoon by Adrian Wojnarowski at Yahoo! Sports: The New Orleans Hornets have traded center Hilton Armstrong and cash to the Sacramento Kings in a salary-clearing move, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The deal removes Hilton’s $2.8 million salary from the Hornets’ payroll, leaving them only a little more than $500,000 […]

From the Twitter account of Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski: The Hornets have agreed to trade Hilton Armstrong to the Kings, an Eastern Conference exec with knowledge of deal says. More details will be posted here as we hear them. 12:10 p.m. UPDATE: More from Wojnarowski on Twitter: The Hornets have traded forward Hilton Armstrong and […]

The Hornets won their sixth straight game earlier today, knocking off the Wizards in Washington. Once again it proved to be a struggle, as New Orleans allowed the Wiz to shoot 58 percent from the field and out-rebound them 41-29. Thankfully the 3-ball was working though and the Hornets feasted on 19 Washington turnovers. The […]

Hornets in Washington to play the Wizards today, trying to build on those two road wins earlier in the week. Game tipping at noon Central. The Wizards have been in turmoil lately with the whole Gilbert Arenas gun fiasco, which saw him get suspended indefinitely. They’re also expected to be one of the more active […]

A disappointing win for the Hornets tonight, if there is such a thing. Facing a woeful 3-win Nets team at New Orleans Arena, the Hornets led for most of the game, several times going up double digits, but they could never quite blow it open. The Nets were able to score with ease for much […]

Uh oh, expectations starting to rise with this four-game winning streak the Hornets are on. A terrible Nets team in town. Careful now. New Jersey is 3-30 on the season, those wins coming against the Bobcats, Knicks and at Chicago. Yi Jianlian has been carrying the Nets offensively of late, averaging 20+ points since returning […]

Fresh off perhaps their biggest win of the season, the Hornets have another tough test tonight as they take on the 19-15 Thunder in Oklahoma City. OKC have been looking good of late, their lone loss in the last seven games coming in overtime at Milwaukee. Kevin Durant has been killing it, scoring 30+ in […]

That game was bundles of fun. The Hornets were getting pushed around early and giving up easy baskets, but played some great defense beyond the first quarter and ran the ball about as well as I’ve seen all season. Devin Brown had himself a career night and Chris Paul came up clutch to give the […]

The Hornets are back on the road, and they’ve got a tough test tonight in Utah facing the 18-15 Jazz. The Hornets have gone 2-8 against Utah the past three seasons, and haven’t won in Salt Lake since February 25, 2006, which was Chris Paul’s rookie season. Back then, Devin Brown was the starting 2-guard […]

The Hornets were at home tonight so of course they went all Dr. Jekyll down the stretch and came away with a win over the Houston Rockets. The visitors appeared more poised and held the lead for the vast majority of the 48, but the Hornets did enough to keep within striking distance. Late in […]

Rockets in town tonight to face the Hornets. The first game of 2010 gets tipping at 7 Central. We saw the Rockets just last Tuesday, when the Hornets lost 100-108 in Houston. David West put up a career-high 44 points and Chris Paul delivered a triple-double, but the Rockets rained threes and had a more […]

There have been many strong opinions and disagreements in the comments recently, with some commenters being called out for various reasons. I want to take a minute and address the issue. A few things: Calling someone an idiot because they disagree with you or say something you don’t want to hear is just plain lazy. […]

Hornets back to the cozy confines of the New Orleans Arena tonight, taking on the visiting Heat and hoping to avenge that November loss in Miami. The 16-12 Heat have won five of their last six and are sporting a 6-4 road record. They’re coming off a 34-point win over the Pacers on Sunday. Dwyane […]

Hornets in Houston tonight, to face the division-rival Rockets for the first time this season. Game tips at 7:30 Central. The Rockets stand at 18-13 on the season, 8-4 at home. They’re coming off a three-game East coast road trip that saw them get blown out in Orlando and Cleveland. With Yao Ming out injured […]

Hornets back on the road today (uh-oh), battling the Bulls in Chicago. Game tips at 7 Central. The Bulls have started out with a disappointing 10-17 record, and followed up last week’s OT win over the Hawks with losses to Sacramento and New York. The loss to the Kings saw them blow a 35-point third-quarter […]

Warriors in town today to take on the Hornets in a merry game of basketball. Game tips at 7 Central. The Warriors are 7-20 on the season, 3-13 on the road. They’ve lost six straight and ten of their last eleven. They’re third in the league scoring 106ppg, but the 112ppg they give up is […]

Hornets taking on the Raptors this afternoon at the Air Canada Center Centre in Toronto. Them Raps have disappointed this season, starting out with a 12-17 record. They blew out the visiting Nets on Friday but had lost four of five before that. They’re 8-5 at home this season. Meanwhile, the Hornets are coming off […]
