Here come the Lakers, all unbeaten and popular and talked about. Apparently they’ve got the best defense since the Great Wall and their bench alone would beat the Spurs in a seven-game series. (Although with all those injuries in San An, I’m pretty sure James Posey could do the same solo.) Game tips a few […]

Lakers(6-0) @ Hornets(4-2) Off Efficiency: Hornets 110.4(6th), Lakers 111.3(3rd)Def Efficiency: Hornets 104.7(15th), Lakers 90.6(1st) At least, I’d call this a Clash of the Titans if the Hornets were playing anywhere near as well as the Lakers are at the moment.  As of right now, this is more like Titan v Really Tall Guy.  Heavy Weight […]

The Hornets are six games in, which isn’t even 1/10th of the season, and Byron Scott is clearly evaluating his players to see what he’ll be able to get the rest of the way.  Already several of our players (Mike James) have been the target of vitriol by the fans, some have been seen as […]

Our good buddies At the Hive are hosting the Blogger Power Rankings this week.  The Hornets slipped badly in it, just like they did against the Hawks and Bobcats. Go take a look and enjoy the commentary about the league’s various teams.

The Hornets finally stopped sucking last night, snapping out of a two-game slide with a 100-89 win over the visiting Miami Heat. Let’s dive right to bullet mode. Apologies in advance for the complete lack of coherence. Killed my brain last night. Let’s start with a happy-positive-feel-good bullet: Chris Paul did the 20/10 thing again. […]

Two straight losses and suddenly the Hornets are in danger of falling to .500. Miami will try to prolong our misery tonight as they roll into New Orleans, fresh off a 99-83 beatdown of the wounded Spurs. Game tips right after 7 Central. No game preview from Ryan today because he’s busy with the real […]

Well, I’m not quite sure where to begin with this one. I was expecting our guys to come out like Tony Jaa in The Protector, and for the first two or so minutes it was all going according to plan. But soon thereafter began the suckage, peaking with a 7-point second quarter which took a […]

Tonight the Hornets are back to where it all began almost exactly twenty years ago: Charlotte, North Carolina. Little time for reminiscing though as Chris Paul and team look to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Hawks on Wednesday. We need to flex muscle and kick ass from tip to buzzer. I wanna […]

I was torn this off-season when Jannero Pargo flew of to Moscow.  There were parts about his game that I hated, and there were parts of his game that I loved.  In the end, I talked myself into thinking it was okay that he left, since he had more bad nights than good last year.  […]

Thanks to a legendary ticket rep named Blake, I was able to join a bunch of other season ticket holders ahead of the Hornets-Hawks game yesterday for a “Chalk Talk” session with Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower. We were led into the bowels of New Orleans Arena, past a chill looking Byron Scott in the […]

There we go crashing back down to earth. After treating us to some nice victories in the season’s first week, the Hornets ran into an athletic and hungry Hawks team tonight. Let’s dive right into the notes… I’ll start it off by giving a lot of credit to the opponent. The Hawks are a better […]

Something’s gotta give tonight as the Hornets welcome the Atlanta Hawks to New Orleans Arena. Our guys have started the season 3-0 while the Atliens are also unbeaten at 2-0, having defeated Orlando and Philly in week one. Game tips a little after 7pm Central. Feel free to talk it up in the comments. Linkage: […]

The newest version of the Blogger’s Power Rankings is up over at The Laker’s Nation, and the Hornets now hold the second spot on the list, right behind the Lakers.  Go, read, enjoy the comments.

Matchup: Atlanta Hawks(2-0) v New Orleans Hornets(3-0) Two unbeaten teams clash in New Orleans tonight as the Hawks seek to keep their strong start going.  So far this season, Atlanta has managed to knock off two teams that are supposed to contend in the East this year – Orlando and Philadelphia – by an average […]

We’re just over one week deep into the newest version of Hornets247, and I’m gonna go ahead and highlight some of the goodness that we’ve seen already. Diving right in: Wallpapers Dariusz has been busy adding to the Wallpapers section. There’s now ten Hornets walls in there, including two fresh off the workspace. Also, many […]

Reebok has recently released a pair of Dry Erase shoes called the ATR Talkin’ Crazy.  Now, our boy Chris Paul wears Jordan Brand Nike’s, so we won’t see him sporting them any time soon. However, Peja Stojakovic, Morris Peterson, and Rasual Butler all wears Reebok, and Peja even wears ATRs.(ATR The Pump Torch) What I […]

Sorry – I have to get this out of my system – JAMES POSEY, BITCH! Okay, I’m good now.  I think the good folks over at HornetsHype may be rubbing off on me. Once again, the wounded Hornets simply out-executed their opponent, beating LeBron’s Cavaliers in their only visit to the New Orleans Arena this […]

The Hornets have returned home to get the season jumping in New Orleans. We look nice with a 2-0 record but vulnerable without the services of Tyson Chandler and Peja Stojakovic (both day-to-day) against the Cavs. Cleveland lost their opener on the road in Boston last Tuesday, but have since beat up on the Bobcats […]

My first Halloween in New Orleans last night. Madness. Myself and a few friends headed downtown to the French Quarter and fought our way through the crowds towards even bigger crowds on Frenchmen Street. Aliens, Elvises, Sarah Palins, Jokers, hot Asian chick cops, ghostbusters, Josh Howard Towelie, Napoleon Dynamite, Tina Turner, jellyfish, Zorro… …and Rasual […]
