Game On: Hornets @ Magic (With LIVE CHAT!)
The last time these two teams met, the Magic had a 9 game winning streak going and were simply destroying teams after making two massive trades to shake things up. The Hornets, meanwhile, were struggling, having gone 11-15 in their previous 26 games after an 11-1 start. The game was a turning point, however, for […]

The Nets beat the Hornets
How many tries does it take for the Hornets to close out the Nets? Apparently – more than five. That’s how many chances they had to win. That’s how many times they failed.  So many rimmed out jumpers. Anyways, the Nets hit more three pointers in that game than they did all season and hit […]

Game On: Hornets @ Nets
Before I get to the game, I want to hammer a point home: Those of you blaming Monty Williams for the past few losses – you’re wrong. The reason the Hornets are losing is because of the talent level behind their starters. It’s well documented that the Hornets subs are terrible, and in fact, Only […]

Jamison a Hornet to BEE?
UPDATE: ESPN’s Marc Stein chimed in on Jamison and the Hornets in Tuesday’s Daily Dime, writing that New Orleans “has a level or interest in [him].” But Stein writes that sources “expressed skepticism that a suitable deal can be assembled before the deadline.” Further, Stein reports the Cavs may not see much benefit in buying […]

The Wolves beat the Hornets
I could mouth the platitude that “sometimes you have nights like this”. It’s true, the Wolves don’t shoot like that normally. But does that make anyone feel better? Not really. The Hornets still lost to the freakin’ 11-win Timberwolves. Again. Sigh. The Wolves hit the Hornets with a one-two punch, drilling their outside shots and […]

Lakers Beat the Hornets Behind Gasol, Zebras

The Hornets kept it close throughout, and really seemed to have a chance, but with each whistle that went against them you could tell that it just wasn’t their night.

Get Better, Emeka!
Although Jason Smith and David Andersen are playing well offensively in the absence of Emeka Okafor, they don’t have the same presence in the paint as Mek. As long as Okafor is out, we will still be lacking that force in the paint that other teams fear. Emeka plays such a huge role for this […]

When Ariza went out against the Thunder, I knew we were going to lose. He means so much to our defense and can make the clutch plays when needed. He always hustles and performs exceptionally well in the clutch. He never complains or whines and just Does his job. We <3 you Trevor and will miss you […]

Western Conference Snubs are better than Eastern Conference Reserves
So we now have the Eastern and Western All-Star rosters, and there’s something there that just flat out bothers me. I take a look at the Eastern Conference All-Star reserves, and I can’t get away from the fact that the Western Conference snubs makes a better roster than those guys do. Here’s the Eastern Conference […]

Get well Emeka and bounce back stronger!
It is unfortunate that you were injured against the Phoenix Suns when the Hornets were making a big push in the West. New Orleans will miss your interior presence in the paint. I always believed that you had it in you to be one of the better centers in the Western Conference and you have […]
