Shorthanded Hornets fall to red hot Bulls
Conventional wisdom said that this game would be a blowout. The Bulls came in as one of the hottest teams in the league, winners of 16 of their last 17 at home and fresh off a huge victory at Miami. Meanwhile, the Hornets came into tonight down two starters, one of which just happened to […]

Game On: Hornets @ Bulls
Jarrett Jack, Marco Belinelli, Quincy Pondexter, and Willie Green. Ladies and Gentlemen, that is the perimeter rotation for the Hornets tonight. If I had told you one year ago that the Hornets would be relying on these four to go into a hostile environment against the Eastern Conference’s hottest (and perhaps best) team, would you […]

The Hornets execute the Cavs after Paul leaves on stretcher
With 4:35 to go in the third quarter, my stomach landed in my mouth as we returned from Commercial break to see Chris Paul being strapped onto a stretcher. Minutes before, after having lost the ball on a foray through the paint, both Paul and Ramon Sessions went after the loose ball, and Paul caught Sessions shoulder – and the […]

NBA Ownership of Hornets is affecting our ability to compete
Even though I’m a staunch Hornets fan, I rarely comment on the blogs and I never write anything of my own. But I just felt I need to get this out. Either the NBA needs to do something to level the playing field, or we’re all wasting our time. There’s an article on the NY […]

CP3 leads Hornets to big win over Memphis
That’s right, I said CP3. Christopher didn’t make the flight to Memphis; instead CP3 took the floor and led a beat up bunch to a huge 98-91 victory over the red hot Grizzlies. 23 points, 14 assists, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals, but in this game the numbers were only half the story. It is […]

Why CP3 Will not be a Knick, and the Impact of the other NBA Trade Deadline Moves on the Hornets
The final days before the trade deadline have made for the most active deadline that I’ve seen since I started seriously following the NBA, which accounts for about a decade. Tons of moves were made, and although only one of them directly involved the Hornets, many of these deals will indirectly affect them. Highlighting this group of […]

Game On: Hornets @ Grizzlies (Live Chat!)
CP3 has answered the New York questions, Monty has laid down the law, and the fans have done their parts by chanting the mantras. Now all that is left is the part where the Hornets get back on track, and it starts tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Hornets win tonight and they are sixth […]

The Hornet’s season in 5 statements
1. “Yay, we’re 11-1!!! We are a serious contender!! Look how good these bench guys are!! Monty is the greatest!!! We can play defense!! 2. “Boo, we lost 3 of 12…. We’re not making the playoffs!!!!!! We overestimated our talent!! No way we can do damage with this lineup!! Why isn’t Monty playing him!!!!! We need […]

Five Mantras for the frustrated Hornets fan
If you look across the NBA landscape, it is hard to find a team that has frustrated its fan base more than the New Orleans Hornets have this year. The summer started off with the CP3 drama, an assistant who didn’t want to be our Head Coach, an ownership sale that just refused to go […]

Hornets Lost to the Knicks or Something, But it’s Mardi Gras, So Whatever
The Hornets lost big to the Knicks tonight, but it’s hard to get too hung up on it. Call me a homer. Call me a fool. Call me whatever you want, actually. Tonight was not a true representation of the two teams that faced off against each other. The Hornets are a better team than […]

Game On: Hornets @ Knicks
Matchup: Hornets (35-27) @ Knicks (30-28) Off Efficiency: Hornets 103.4(19th), Knicks 107.1 (9th) Def Efficiency: Hornets 100.6(6th), Knicks 106.1 (18th) Pace: Hornets 91.0 (29th) , Knicks 98.8 (2nd) As Chicken Little once said, “The sky is falling.” Not literally of course, but a quick look around the Hornets stratosphere reveals that fans are not exactly […]

The New Chris Paul
With the Hornets mired in a slump going into their longest road trip of the season, there is a simple equation as to what’s wrong, and we as Hornet fans aren’t used to it. We are getting beaten soundly at the starting PG position. While knee-jerk reactions will abound, there have been signs of a change […]

The Raptors beat the Hornets
Final Score: 96-90 Raptors (Box Score) You thought I was kidding in the game preview didn’t you? Jose Calderon really does get up to play Chris Paul. Two years ago, they got into it in two seperate games, and from then on, Calderon simply goes after him. I bet if you ask any Raptor fan […]
