Calling all Hornets Fans: Bee-Zanies Tryouts Coming up
The Hornets are putting together a cheering section for their most hardcore fans, and tryouts are coming up. Awesome. Andrew Bogut did something like this in Milwaukee, and it went really well. I’ve thought it would be a great idea for a Hornets player to do, but it’s equally sweet that the franchise is doing […]

The Hornets beat the Washington Generals
At times, that’s what it felt like. Globetrotters v Generals. I mean, what do you say about a 100-59(Box Score) drubbing that was essentially finished by halftime? You can’t talk about the serious basketball because the game was over so quickly. Even the back and forth first quarter was a little bit of fools gold for […]

Game On: Hornets @ Atlanta
Matchup: Hornets(27-16) @ Hawks(28-15) Off Efficiency: Hornets 102.6(19th), Hawks 105.2(12th) Def Efficiency: Hornets 99.6(4th), Hawks 102.2(10th) As always, thanks to Dariusz Ejkiewicz for the gameday banner! As the furor over Stephon Marb – er – Derrick Rose and his high-scoring game in Chicago grows more intense, the eastern conference has reached a tipping point. With […]

If Peja is signed…
Nothing formal here, just some dialogue between all of us here in the Hornets Nation. This is what I want to hear from you- pretend you are dell Demps or Monty. Peja comes to you and says money isn’t an object- all he wants is a clearly defined role and assurances that this team will […]

Hornets beat Memphis in Overtime
My adrenaline is still going after that finish. After crushing Memphis for long periods in the second half, for almost all of overtime, the Hornets defense was struggling to get any sort of stop. Randolph was simply a load in OT and hitting some tough shots over Okafor. With less than a minute, Memphis finally […]

Game On: Grizzlies @ Hornets
Matchup: Grizzlies(19-22) @ Hornets(26-16) Off Efficiency: Grizzlies 101.9(22nd), Hornets 102.4(20th) Def Efficiency: Grizzlies 102.7(13th), Hornets 99.6(4th) The Grizzlies have an okay defense, but for a team with Randolph and Gay, who both have a reputation for being scorers, their offensive output is pretty lame. One of the primary reasons for that is the teams propensity […]

Hornets are Just One Injury Away From Disaster
Sometimes it’s good to take a step back from whatever you believe to be true in order to get a more objective viewpoint. I was recently asked on the Daily Dime Chat what the Hornets biggest concern is the rest of the season. Is it the attendance issue? The NBA owning the team? Chris Paul […]

Stat Tidbit: Okafor’s Offensive Rebounds
Against the Raptors, Emeka Okafor had 12 offensive rebounds. Only twice before in the history of the Hornets has a player grabbed 12 offensive boards, and both of those marks are held by the player Okafor replaced, Tyson Chandler.  Chandler grabbed 12 and 14 offensive rebounds in two games in 2007.

Hornets Struggle Past the Raptors
Emeka Okafor, David West, and Jarret Jack. Oh, I thought you asked which Hornets players didn’t stink up New Orleans Arena on Martin Luther King Junior day. Honestly West wasn’t particularly good, but relative to the rest of the team he was great, and as usual he finished strong. Things were ugly for everyone else, […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 12: Let’s Get Physical
Ryan and Michael look back on the nice 3-0 week for the Hornets, talk Charlotte trade targets, and then look forward to next weeks schedule. Michael states he likes teams that have the potential to get physical with the Hornets. I’m disturbed. You should be too.

Tyrus Thomas doesn’t care
Tyrus Thomas doesn’t care if you can tell he doesn’t like Emeka Okafor’s face. He also doesn’t care if he’s delivering the most obvious flagrant elbow of all time in front of a referee. He also doesn’t care what you think about it, damnit. Oh and West dunked on Nazr’s face. He better stop it […]

The 48 Hour Toxic Cleanse
For those of you not familiar with the idea of a body cleanse, especially if you’re one of the people who have said in the past that “the salt water flush didn’t make me poop” – the philosophy is simple- our bodies are naturally in a state of good health, but we expose ourselves to […]

Hornets pull away late in win over Bobcats
With 6:37 left in the 4th quarter Tyrus Thomas hit his second free throw to bring the Bobcats within one point. The score read: Hornets 76-75 , and it stayed that way for nearly three minutes as neither team could get anything going. It was at that point that the Hornets went to their playmaker. […]

David West Hammers one on Jared Jeffries
I’m not sure which is better, the fact it was a huge basket in a tough game, that it was David West dunking on someone which NEVER happens, or the half-confused half-amused look West had on his face when walking back to the bench. Does that make him amfused?
-
Game On: Hornets @ Bobcats
The Hornets head into tonight’s game battered and bruised, as Paul, West, and Belinelli all have ankle problems and Emeka’s knees are reportedly sore. The Hornets have been lucky to get through the season so far with limited injuries, but when you continue to have to play 40+ minutes a game due to an inadequate […]

The Hornets come back and Edge the Rockets
For three quarters the Hornets were losing as the Rockets were nailing a ton of mid-range jumpers and the Hornets were turning the ball over way more often than they normally do. As a result, they gave up a season high 20 fast break points by the end of the third.  Then the fourth and overtime came along, the […]
