For 47 minutes and 55 seconds Eric Gordon had a tough time finding his stroke from the outside, but he hit the one that counted with less than five seconds on the clock to give the Hornets a 85-84 victory in their season debut. Gordon got to the bucket early and often, slicing up the […]

Holiday Road
As Christmas does a continually worsening, comically poor job of sneaking up on the present recipients of the world, I’m left with nothing to do but dive into my own head in an effort to maintain decorum as the yuletide behemoth gracelessly knocks the lamp over while trying desperately sneak around and deposit the season’s […]

Joe Gerrity to Host “Hornets Report” On WGSO
Early last summer I decided that the Hornets needed another show exclusively about them.

Bullets From the Hornets Preseason Win Over the Grizzlies
Hornets beat the Grizzlies 95-80. Here’s what you need to know. Player Notes Chris Kaman can put the ball in the bucket. I underestimated just how good he actually is down low.

Hornets Ditch the Pregame Prayer, Add a Band
The Hornets, at least for now, have apparently ditched the pre-game invocation that had been part of the franchise for years under the rule of George Shinn, and then briefly last year after the NBA purchased the team. I talked about some of the issues people could potentially have with the prayer last year, and […]
