    The Hornets completed their pre-season with an 86-101 loss(Box Score) to the Thunder in Oklahoma City tonight, bumping their record to 1-7 in meaningless games.  Now the team goes home and gets most of a week to prepare for its first real opponent of the season, the not-to-be-taken-lightly Milwaukee Bucks. There have been a few […]

  • Game On: Hornets @ Thunder

    The Hornets close out their pre-season run tonight, taking on the young upstart Oklahoma City Thunder in OKC. Okafor has been sitting out the past two games with no injuries listed, so it will be interesting to see if he plays tonight.  Monty seems pretty comfortable with what he’ll get from him, so he may […]

  • Hornets Waive DJ Strawberry

    The New Orleans Hornets announced today that they have waived guard D.J. Strawberry, leaving their roster at 15.

  • Game On: Hornets @ Bobcats

    The Hornets travel to Charlotte for a rare late morning game (10 CST). Monty stated both before and after the Grizzlies game that he wants to get the starters more minutes as the preseason winds down, so we can expect to see 25-30 minutes from the likes of Belinelli, Ariza, and CP3. Regarding Okafor and […]

  • Mensah-Bonsu led Hornets fall to Grizzlies

    The Hornets led 74-67 heading into the 4th quarter and that is when rookie Xavier Henry and OJ Mayo came to life. The two were responsible for scoring or assisting on all of the Grizzlies points during a 10-2 run that gave Memphis the lead that they would never relinquish. Interestingly enough, the Hornets starters […]

  • Game On: Hornets @ Grizzlies

    The Hornets take on Memphis tonight at the FedEx Forum and are likely to be without David West yet again. The good news, however, is that it looks like newly acquired point guard Curtis Jerrells will be in uniform and available. In addition, the bench will be a little shorter as both Mustafa Shakur and […]

  • Hornets Waive Shakur, Watkins

    The New Orleans Hornets announced today that they have waived guard Mustafa Shakur and center Darryl Watkins, leaving the roster current roster at 16 players. Shakur played in two preseason games for the Hornets, averaging 3.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 13.0 minutes of play. Expected to compete for a guard spot, Shakur […]

Me?  I don’t know anything […]

  • Roster Spots Up for Grabs as Hornets Fall to Hawks

    No David West, no Emeka Okafor, and Chris Paul only played 11 minutes. Tonight’s game was about figuring out who was qualified to occupy those last few seats at the end of the bench and some guys played better than others in the Hornets 84-74 loss on Saturday night. Willie Green probably locked up the […]

  • The Pacers beat the Hornets

    The Hornets and Pacers clashed last night in Indiana, and the Hornets lost by 98-101(Box Score) after a very close finish that could have gone either way.  One thing, though, is clear.  Monty didn’t care at all about winning the game.  For the entire fourth quarter, the team rolled with bench players plus Belinelli, with Belinelli serving […]

  • Game On: Hornets @ Pacers

    The Hornets are playing the Pacers tonight, so Hornets fans get to see the entire backcourt that could have been, if not for the trade that sent James Posey and Darren Collison to the Pacers.
