Where My Money Meets My Mouth
A few days ago I changed my prediction about the Hornets from playoff outsiders to first round fodder. I heard from more than a few people that I was officially a homer, just like I heard last year. That’s a term I ironically became all too familiar with while when getting within one victory of […]

Get us a legit or an decent PG in the rotation
This team needs a 3pt PG 0/12 behind the arch Vs the Kings was terrible we need some one like Aaron Brooks but we have to wait til march to get him they can sign Manny Harris he can shoot the 3 and they can waive that scrub Squeaky Johnson.

Game On: Hornets @ Kings
The Hornets take their show into Sacramento to face the Kings, a team that relies heavily on isolation basketball and individual brilliance to take games. Unfortunately for the Kings, their individual talents don’t yet amount to any sort of efficiency, and as a result, they’ve been crushed in three straight games after pulling out a […]

Tempus Fugit
Tempus fugit is a Latin phrase translating as “Time flees,” but is more well-approximated with the familiar “Time flies.” It’s been just over a year since the Hornets were taken over by the NBA, forever changing the course of the franchise. The past year has been turbulent for other reasons, as well, but now we […]

Hornets Come in Second in Second Suns Game
I’ll pick up the recap since this one, I suppose, is too odoriferous for those with a more delicate palate . . . The Hornets failed to score at a record number race according to Rohan from At The Hive. The box score and recaps all seem to agree that the defense was on and […]

Lance Thomas Released
The New Orleans Hornets announced today that they have requested waivers on forward Lance Thomas. Thomas, a Duke University product, appeared in two regular season games, averaging 0.5 points. In two preseason games (both starts), he averaged 3.5 points and 4.5 rebounds. It appears that Gustavo Ayon will be utilized more often as he is […]

Game On: Suns at Hornets
The Hornets face off against the Suns for the second time this young season. They’re missing Eric Gordon, who has officially been declared out, but they get Jarret Jack this time around. In the 3-on-3 previewing the game we talked about Jack vs Nash at point and whether or not it would be crazy to […]

Bizzaro Vibe in the Hive
Let’s just get right into it. The pregame player intro DID NOT work. I applaud the thought of having a live band for the intros, but the formula needs to be changed if we’re going to continue with this format. If the point of the player intro is to get the players (and fans) fired […]

Suns at Hornets: 3-on-3
In the first of our two game-day previews (something we’ll be doing all year long for home games), we’ll be using ESPN’s 3-on-3 format to get three perspectives on three different questions relating to the game. Today we welcome Mason Ginsberg to the show. 1. What should the Hornets have learned from the game these […]

Ian-stradamus….damn it doesn’t work
Gentlefolk of basketball land heed my words, I listen to podcasts from around the league and I always hate sensationalism and the eager rush to conclusions. If a team wins 2 or 3 games in a row their fans (and bloggers) declare them a playoff-caliber team. I live in Phoenix and I scour every time […]

The Hornets not tanking
With the way they spread the ball on an offensive standpoint really goes to show you this team is for real. They can handle the powerful teams so far but their defense is tough with the recent trades of we got from the CP3 & Pondexter trade has really paid off.The Hornets have scorers and […]

Sources: Third Time is a Charm
Allow me to be the first one to admit that I drastically underestimated our* ability to win games this year when making my predictions about how we would fare. Originally ESPN.com asked nearly everyone in their arsenal to predict win total for every team in the league. At the time, I was under the impression […]

A Great Late Christmas Gift
I was there. And I liked what I saw. Though, I must admit, when I saw Gordon in street clothes same as Ayon, I was a bit creastfallen. “Where are we gonna get those 20ish points from?” But Jarrett Jack lead the way with 21. Landry gave 20. Okafor gave 13. Kaman came off the […]

Hornets Obliterate Celtics
Despite Eric Gordon being a late scratch with a bruised knee (nothing serious), the Hornets gave the opening night sell-out crowd just about everything they could ask for. Monty’s squad gave 48 tough minutes and after a brief offensive dry-spell in the beginning, they lead for right around ten points throughout the rest of the […]

Game On: Celtics at Hornets
(update- Eric Gordon will not play because of a bruised right knee. I no longer expect a blowout, just a close win.) The Hornets will look to continue in their quest to go undefeated tonight against a win-less Celtics team. Boston is missing Paul Pierce and coming off a loss last night against the Heat […]

Celtics at Hornets: 3-on-3
In addition to our game-on post, Hornets247 will utilize the TrueHoop Network’s 3-on-3 format to preview games. Hope you enjoy. It’s just one of many regular features we will be rolling out/bringing back over the next few weeks. 1.) What kind of crowd can we expect tonight? Michael McNamara: I think the Hive will be […]

Video: Chris Trew on Opening Day at the Hive
The only comment I feel that needs to be attached to this video is the fantastic news that Chris Trew and Jonathan Evans (his excellent cameraman and video editor) will be working with Hornets247 going forward. BOOM!

A Defense Of The Lakers’ Trade From A Business Perspective
((This is a guest post from Swarm and Sting’s Jake Madison. Enjoy.)) I’ve been spending a lot of time lately ruminating on the business and financial side of the NBA–particularly about how the Hornets are affected by various aspects. I was following ESPN’s Daily Dime chat Tuesday night and host Zach Harper raised an interesting […]
