Hornets Drinking Game
The podcast discussion about “Jack Off the Hornets Bench” got me thinking about a comprehensive drinking game that might be fun to start while watching the away games. So, here’s my stab at it. Feel free to add rules that you think are a must. . . 1. David West says, “And One!” 1 drink […]

Game On: Hornets @ Raptors (Live Chat)
Matchup: Hornets(35-26) @ Raptors(16-44) Off Efficiency: Hornets 103.5(18th), Raptors 102.9(21st) Def Efficiency: Hornets 100.5(6th), Raptors 109.6(29th) The Raptors, due to last season and the nature of their players, have the reputation of being an explosive offensive team. They aren’t, though I would still call them an offense-focused team. In fact, there isn’t a player on […]

Paul, Hornets Falter Late in Loss to Rockets
The Houston Rockets beat the Hornets 91-89 behind a stupidly efficient night by Kevin Martin (33 points on 15 shots), a not so efficient night from Chris Paul (6 points on 2-12 shooting), and an over-reliance on Willie Green in the fourth quarter. If those three things never come together during one game again, it […]

Game On: Rockets @ Hornets (Live Chat!)
The Hornets come into the game on a two-game winning streak, all alone in 5th place out West, just 2.5 behind OKC for home-court advantage in the first round. They set off on a season long five game road trip following this game, so taking advantage of a home game against a sub .500 team […]

Why you should appreciate Ariza
This play from Friday’s game against the Wolves just stuck in my head. Maybe two months ago, I was on the Podcast saying I was done with Ariza. This play is a perfect example, however, of why I should have swallowed my tongue, and appreciated our starting small forward. Ariza is the guy who chases Beasley […]

Bee-Voltron
Throughout the season, we have seen our team mixed and matched more times than Mark Cuban’s stock portfolio. We made several significant trades, changing our lineup, rotations, and roles on the team. Each one of our guys has individual skills, and it has been Monty’s job to evaluate each individual talent and utilize them to […]

Grading the Demps deals
Acquired Traded Marco Belinelli Julian Wright – This deal for me is a no brainer. We get a player with one proven talent for a player who has no one discernable skill. Marco can shoot, that much we know. Although he may be madly inconsistent, at least we know that he shoots 39% from 3 […]

The Hornets take the Red Carpet
Tomorrow night, the Academy will hand out the Oscars to celebrate the finest films of the year. 10 movies are nominated for Best Picture this year, and they each have made a unique contribution to the landscape as a whole, similar to how each Hornet has contributed in their own way to what has been […]

Best 1st Round Matchup
As of today, the Hornets sit at the 5th spot in the Western Conference, but they’re only 2.5 games ahead of the 9th spot as well. The Mavs will be impossible to catch for 2nd in the Southwest Division, so our obvious ceiling as far as playoff seeding goes is the 5th spot. Assuming the […]

Hornets get Defensive, take care of Timberwolves
The Timberwolves came out red hot against the Hornets, drilling 6 of their first 7 shots, as they threatened to sweep the season series with the Bees. With the score 16-11, Monty Williams looked furious as he called a timeout and let the starters have it. The result? Only 10 more points in the final […]

Bill Simmons grades the Hornets Trade
In typical Simmons Fashion… ANY TRADE THAT RESULTS IN A MARK CUBAN TIRADE: A-minus When New Orleans (owned and operated by the other 29 owners) traded Marcus Thornton for Carl Landry and absorbed $2.24 million of additional payroll, Cuban rightfully flipped out, wondering, “There’s no way, with their payroll, having to dump salary before they […]

CP3 could lead the Hornets to the promise land.
Let me start off by saying; I live in Atlanta, but I could careless about the Hawks. I’ve been a Hornets fan for 8 years now basically since they moved to New Orleans. Without a doubt mt favorite player in the league is CP3. His leadership and determination is what set him apart from the […]

Push for a Championship, a wish list for the summer
With a young core and budding superstars, a solid young coach and a great systematic style of basketball, the Hornets are on the upswing. Assuming we can stabilize the ownership situation and have the freedom to make moves, we should be players next year to sign some free agents and make a run at a […]

Why the Marcus Thornton for Carl Landry (and every Demps trade) makes perfect sense.
No one was a bigger Marcus Thornton fan than I was. I think I literally jumped two feet out off of my couch when it was announced that the New Orleans Hornets traded with the Miami Heat in the 2009 NBA Draft to receive the rights for the LSU star. Being a former high school basketball player, […]
