The Hornets beat the Bucks. Six and Oh, baby!
The vaunted Bucks defense showed up tonight and gave the Hornets fits. Unfortunately for the Bucks, the Hornets defense was also present and the game turned slugfest through the last half of it. Very few easy baskets. Rare open shots. In the end, the Hornets prevailed, pounding out an 87-81 win.(Box Score) Early on, the […]

New Orleans Hornets at Milwaukee Bucks

Game On: Hornets @ Milwaukee
I’m a little worried about this game. It is a classic letdown game. It’s the second night of a back to back after a charged, emotional, and tough game against the Heat. Add to that the fact the Hornets have already beat this team, and they may look past them and get caught. You can’t […]

The Hornets Defense – or Why New Orleans is 5-0
This morning, the Hornets awake sporting the 5th most efficient defense in the league. While that sounds good, I want to put it in perspective. Unlike many teams sporting tough defenses, the Hornets have now played the 4th, 6th, 11th, 15th and 29th ranked offenses in the league. The average efficiency of those five teams […]

The Hornets Beat the Rockets
It was a fun and fascinating game to watch tonight as the Hornets defeated the Rockets 107-99 (Box Score) in Houston. In a game that had Paul exploding for 14 points in the fourth, Jason Smith tearing it up off the bench, and Emeka Okafor dominating the paint defensively, I wanted to talk first and […]

The Hornets beat the Spurs
Three. And. Oh. Before the season started, I was hoping for 2-1. I was expecting 1-2. I’m having trouble containing myself. This team has shown depth, resiliency, and the ability to get defensive stops when absolutely necessary for the first time in two seasons.  Tonight the Hornets built a sixteen point lead and then held off […]

Game On: Hornets at Spurs
Tonight is a battle between the San Antonio Spurs 1.0 organization and the San Antonio Spurs 2.0 organization. Demps vs Buford. Williams vs Popovich. Paul(Wake Forest) vs. Duncan(Wake Forest).  The Spurs have only played a single game so far this season, and they won that one handily 122-109 vs. Indiana. (Side note: Collison went for […]

The Hornets close out their pre-season run tonight, taking on the young upstart Oklahoma City Thunder in OKC.
