Hornets Obliterate Celtics
Despite Eric Gordon being a late scratch with a bruised knee (nothing serious), the Hornets gave the opening night sell-out crowd just about everything they could ask for. Monty’s squad gave 48 tough minutes and after a brief offensive dry-spell in the beginning, they lead for right around ten points throughout the rest of the […]

Game On: Celtics at Hornets
(update- Eric Gordon will not play because of a bruised right knee. I no longer expect a blowout, just a close win.) The Hornets will look to continue in their quest to go undefeated tonight against a win-less Celtics team. Boston is missing Paul Pierce and coming off a loss last night against the Heat […]

It’s just one of many regular features we will be rolling out/bringing back over the next few weeks. 1.) What kind of crowd can we expect tonight? Michael McNamara: I think the Hive will be […]

Video: Chris Trew on Opening Day at the Hive
The only comment I feel that needs to be attached to this video is the fantastic news that Chris Trew and Jonathan Evans (his excellent cameraman and video editor) will be working with Hornets247 going forward. BOOM!

A Defense Of The Lakers’ Trade From A Business Perspective
((This is a guest post from Swarm and Sting’s Jake Madison. Enjoy.)) I’ve been spending a lot of time lately ruminating on the business and financial side of the NBA–particularly about how the Hornets are affected by various aspects. I was following ESPN’s Daily Dime chat Tuesday night and host Zach Harper raised an interesting […]

Chris who? Eric Gordon hits game winner in Hornets debut
For 47 minutes and 55 seconds Eric Gordon had a tough time finding his stroke from the outside, but he hit the one that counted with less than five seconds on the clock to give the Hornets a 85-84 victory in their season debut. Gordon got to the bucket early and often, slicing up the […]

Game On: New Orleans Hornets @ Phoenix Suns
And… We’re Back!! It’s been a tough couple of months for Hornets fans, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Gone are franchise cornerstones Chris Paul and David West and their patented pick and pop. Instead, the Hornets will rely less on star power and more on teamwork, toughness, and intensity. The […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 46: Season Preview
Ryan and Michael elaborate on their season previews. You’ll probably hate my pessimism. Michael tries to set me straight though. Fools! I cannot be swayed from my path of gloom! (Note: Podcast was recorded prior to Q-Pon trade)

Acquiring Vasquez the final piece in the offseason puzzle
Analysts like to dissect each trade individually, but moves are usually connected to other moves, so looking at each one individually in a vacuum is somewhat pointless. On the surface, the Quincy Pondexter for Greveis Vasquez trade seems somewhat debateable, but if you take a step back it is easy to see how this small […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 45: Assets!
Ryan and Michael bring on Breene Murphy of ClipperBlog and Zach Harper of ESPN’s Daily Dime Live and A Wolf Among Wolves to talk about the assets the Hornets got in the Chris Paul Trade. And a good time is had by all.

Holiday Road
As Christmas does a continually worsening, comically poor job of sneaking up on the present recipients of the world, I’m left with nothing to do but dive into my own head in an effort to maintain decorum as the yuletide behemoth gracelessly knocks the lamp over while trying desperately sneak around and deposit the season’s […]

2011-12 Hornets Season Preview
Time will tell, but it is easy to make the argument that this will be viewed as the most important off-season in the history of the franchise. Chris Paul is gone, a new CBA is signed, the NBA has done everything possible to make this franchise attractive for a new owner, and the building blocks […]

Joe Gerrity to Host “Hornets Report” On WGSO
Early last summer I decided that the Hornets needed another show exclusively about them. Right now, the only shows in New Orleans that focus entirely about the Hornets/NBA are affiliated in some way with the Hornets brand, either because they are broadcast on the Hornets TV station or because they are broadcast on the Hornets […]

If the Hornets Were to Rebrand…
This is what the result should look like. Hat tip to bigdub81 over at Hornets Report. Totally New Orleans. I’d suggest going over there for the full sized image. This one has been shrunk.

Quincy Pondexter Injured in Win Over Memphis?
((new update– J. Michael says it’s not serious and that Pondexter should be ready to go by the season opener)) (update: Quincy tweeted this not too long ago– “Great team win tonight. Now it’s time to get this regular season started #HORNETSNATION #imin” That doesn’t sound like someone too concerned about his knee, but it’s […]

Bullets From the Hornets Preseason Win Over the Grizzlies
Hornets beat the Grizzlies 95-80. Here’s what you need to know. Player Notes Chris Kaman can put the ball in the bucket. I underestimated just how good he actually is down low. He also has a sweet Chewbacca noise that plays after he scores. Nice. It’s my new favorite sound. Also, he’s a really good […]

Hornets Ditch the Pregame Prayer, Add a Band
The Hornets, at least for now, have apparently ditched the pre-game invocation that had been part of the franchise for years under the rule of George Shinn, and then briefly last year after the NBA purchased the team. I talked about some of the issues people could potentially have with the prayer last year, and […]

Preseason Game On: Grizzlies @ Hornets
Buzzfest. Live music. Beer. Hugo. Honeybees. Basketball. Those are the things that you will miss if you don’t come to the first and final preseason game at The Hive tonight. Sure, it’s only preseason, but this is your first chance to really see Eric Gordon/Commissioner Gordon/Air Gordon, Chris Kaman, and Al-Farouq Aminu playing in person. […]
