Hornets Whoop the Jazz
The Hornets destroyed the Jazz 100-71 to even the season series at 1-1. It was a game that left little doubt that the past dominance of Deron over Paul is over, and might just get those still talking about it to reconsider their position. No, Paul didn’t do anything statistically incredible, but he did exactly […]

Hornets247 Watch Party Pics
As most of you know, a bunch of us got together at the Extreme Sports Bar and Grille the other night to watch the Hornets play the Miami Heat. Although the team couldn’t pull out a win, anyone in attendance probably felt like something of a winner afterward. There were prizes, contests, and even a […]

Marcus Thornton Silences “The Haters”
Okay, I will admit that the title of this article might be a little misleading because I am not really going to take a comprehensive look at Marcus Thornton, nor will I give an opinion on his role moving forward. I put his name in the title because I know it will get each and […]

He’s Back: Thornton Fuels Hornets Comeback Victory
It was a tale of two halves and one player, as Marcus Thornton and the Hornets  came back from 23 down to emerge victoriously in what may be yet another turning point in their season. It was a thrilling 94-91 victory for everyone in attendance (13,325). What’s wrong with the Hornets? What happened to that […]

Hornets Power Rankings- First Quarter Report Cards
I know that technically the first quarter was 20.5 games into the season, and that I should have issued grades at halftime of the Pistons game last week, but its not like we have any NASA engineers or mathematicians who frequent the site, so who cares? 24 games in with a 14-10 record is when […]

The Heat clamp down on the Hornets
Two and a half quarters of good, solid Hornets basketball, with the Hornets riding a strong offensive attack by David West, good control of the game’s speed by Chris Paul, and a solid defensive outing by Trevor Ariza. Then, with a few minutes left in the third quarter, in a game with very few mistakes […]

In the NO Podcast – Episode 8: 30 Percent
Michael and Ryan talk about the Hornets week, more about the team sale, Mike gets something off his chest about the Jarrett Jack trade, and then at the end things get a little testy as Michael introduces a fun new segment called “Ambush”. He even makes Ryan eat his words. Jerk.

Hornets Offense Misses Team Flight as Sixers Cruise to Victory
New Orleans started off the game by going 5 for 21 in the first quarter and conventional wisdom said that there was no place to go but up. Conventional wisdom was wrong. After an embarressing first quarter, the Hornets topped themselves by going 1 for 21 in the second quarter. They finished the first half […]

Game On: Hornets @ Sixers
So far this season the Hornets have feasted on the Eastern Conference, going 6-1, with their lone loss coming at the hands of the red hot New York Knicks. Overall, the Hornets have lost 7 of their last 10 games, so the Philadelphia 76ers appear to be just what New Orleans needs (much like Detroit […]

Thunder Beat the Hornets
The Thunder beat the Hornets in what can only be described as a depressing game for the Bees. They had their chances, and gave/let them them away. The Hornets took it inside early and often, and for a while it appeared that David West would prove to be too much to handle for the visitors. […]

The Hornets beat the Pistons
Detroit’s starters are kind of depressing. While Maxiel and Wallace worked hard here and there and Hamilton ran around alot there wasn’t a feeling that they were a team – or that they cared much. Most of their shots were of the sort where they let the defender square up on them, and then they […]

Game On: Pistons @ Hornets
Matchup: Pistons(7-15) @ Hornets(13-7) Off Efficiency: Pistons 100.8(24th), Hornets 102.5(21st) Def Efficiency: Pistons 107.8(23rd), Hornets 99.7(6th) As I said in the Podcast, if the Hornets were looking for a team to get back on track against, it would be the Pistons. One of the common threads between the Hornets wins is that Emeka Okafor generally […]

Hornets Power Rankings Week Six
It feels as if there is nothing to celebrate this week as one could not draw up a worst case scenario for the last two weeks. Losers of 6 of their last 8 after an 11-1 start isn’t even the worst news that fans of this team have had to endure. Stories about attendance benchmarks, […]
