Paul, Hornets Falter Late in Loss to Rockets
The Houston Rockets beat the Hornets 91-89 behind a stupidly efficient night by Kevin Martin (33 points on 15 shots), a not so efficient night from Chris Paul (6 points on 2-12 shooting), and an over-reliance on Willie Green in the fourth quarter. If those three things never come together during one game again, it […]

Why you should appreciate Ariza
This play from Friday’s game against the Wolves just stuck in my head. Maybe two months ago, I was on the Podcast saying I was done with Ariza. This play is a perfect example, however, of why I should have swallowed my tongue, and appreciated our starting small forward. Ariza is the guy who chases Beasley […]

Hornets get Defensive, take care of Timberwolves
The Timberwolves came out red hot against the Hornets, drilling 6 of their first 7 shots, as they threatened to sweep the season series with the Bees. With the score 16-11, Monty Williams looked furious as he called a timeout and let the starters have it. The result? Only 10 more points in the final […]

Game On: Hornets @ Timberwolves (Live Chat)
What’s the saying, third time’s the charm? Yeah, I think that’s it. However I doubt that we ever would have imagined that it would apply here. The Hornets have faced the Timberwolves two times this year, and frankly, they were embarrassed both times. Two days after Christmas the Hornets went to Minnesota and lost by […]

Hornets beat the Clippers
In the first game back from the All-Star break the Hornets looked sharp, they ran their plays extremely well, staggering screens all over for everyone, and put together a nice, easy 98-87 win over the Clippers. (Box Score) Of course, part of the reason they looked so good was the fact the Clippers were missing […]

Farewell Marcus Thornton
When the Hornets began taking down signs featuring their nearly homegrown star, Marcus Thornton, most of us knew that it was time to start letting go. Sure, we pretended that it was just a coincidence that the Hornets only homegrown player was no longer a part of their marketing to a fan base who regarded […]

Redfish Talk with Dell Demps
The Hornets had an extended Chalk Talk scheduled for about 50 season ticket holders at the Bourbon House. Â I went with my girlfriend and bumped into a couple I know from around Hornets-town. We both got the redfish, but the crab and corn bisque and the chocolate chunk bread pudding were the real show-stoppers. Â Great […]

My Worries about Just Passing it Along…
A few days ago I was given information from a reliable inside source that talks were ongoing between the Hornets and Cavaliers and I felt conflicted about posting the information on this site. My sources integrity could not have been compromised, so that was not the concern, as much as the fact that I simple […]

In the summer of 2012 the face of the franchise, Chris Paul, has the option of voiding the final year of his contract and becoming a free agent.
