In the NO Podcast Episode 14: Fear the Ostrich
Ryan and Michael talk about the 8-0 streak, Emeka Okafor and whether he’s worthy of an All-Star nod, what weaknesses we do still see for this team, plus Ryan talks about D&D and find out that Michael would rather fight a Grizzly Bear than an Ostrich. Yes, Michael may be an idiot. Oh, and we’re […]

Drink, Pray, Watch Basketball
(edit- Once in a blue moon the prayer is done by a Rabbi. Not sure how I missed that over the years.) Before each and every Hornets game for as long as the team has been in existence, a Christian invocation is done at half court before the national anthem, in which everyone is asked […]

The Atlanta and Spurs games have me on a bit of a high right now. So . . . Parker has left the building!

Sometimes, a Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Don’t you agree? I worry about Karma with this sort of gloating, but this image was priceless.

Hornets Beat Down the NBA Best San Antonio Spurs
I was proud to be a Hornets fan tonight. In the third quarter the team played the best basketball I’ve ever seen at any time in my entire life. They were absolutely on fire on both ends of the floor and there was nothing that San Antonio could do to stop them. The Hornets absolutely […]

In the last two games, the recaps used […]

Monty, Take a Tip From Rex
No one will ever mistake Monty Williams for Rex Ryan. They coach different sports. They use different styles. They are certainly in different weight classes. But I think, in the midst of our second longest winning streak of the season, Monty Williams needs to pick up the phone and get some advice from the New […]

Calling all Hornets Fans: Bee-Zanies Tryouts Coming up
The Hornets are putting together a cheering section for their most hardcore fans, and tryouts are coming up. Awesome. Andrew Bogut did something like this in Milwaukee, and it went really well. I’ve thought it would be a great idea for a Hornets player to do, but it’s equally sweet that the franchise is doing […]

The Hornets beat the Washington Generals
At times, that’s what it felt like. Globetrotters v Generals. I mean, what do you say about a 100-59(Box Score) drubbing that was essentially finished by halftime? You can’t talk about the serious basketball because the game was over so quickly. Even the back and forth first quarter was a little bit of fools gold for […]

Game On: Hornets @ Atlanta
Matchup: Hornets(27-16) @ Hawks(28-15) Off Efficiency: Hornets 102.6(19th), Hawks 105.2(12th) Def Efficiency: Hornets 99.6(4th), Hawks 102.2(10th) As always, thanks to Dariusz Ejkiewicz for the gameday banner! As the furor over Stephon Marb – er – Derrick Rose and his high-scoring game in Chicago grows more intense, the eastern conference has reached a tipping point. With […]

If Peja is signed…
Nothing formal here, just some dialogue between all of us here in the Hornets Nation. This is what I want to hear from you- pretend you are dell Demps or Monty. Peja comes to you and says money isn’t an object- all he wants is a clearly defined role and assurances that this team will […]

Hornets beat Memphis in Overtime
My adrenaline is still going after that finish. After crushing Memphis for long periods in the second half, for almost all of overtime, the Hornets defense was struggling to get any sort of stop. Randolph was simply a load in OT and hitting some tough shots over Okafor. With less than a minute, Memphis finally […]

Game On: Grizzlies @ Hornets
Matchup: Grizzlies(19-22) @ Hornets(26-16) Off Efficiency: Grizzlies 101.9(22nd), Hornets 102.4(20th) Def Efficiency: Grizzlies 102.7(13th), Hornets 99.6(4th) The Grizzlies have an okay defense, but for a team with Randolph and Gay, who both have a reputation for being scorers, their offensive output is pretty lame. One of the primary reasons for that is the teams propensity […]

Hornets are Just One Injury Away From Disaster
Sometimes it’s good to take a step back from whatever you believe to be true in order to get a more objective viewpoint. I was recently asked on the Daily Dime Chat what the Hornets biggest concern is the rest of the season. Is it the attendance issue? The NBA owning the team? Chris Paul […]

Stat Tidbit: Okafor’s Offensive Rebounds
Against the Raptors, Emeka Okafor had 12 offensive rebounds. Only twice before in the history of the Hornets has a player grabbed 12 offensive boards, and both of those marks are held by the player Okafor replaced, Tyson Chandler.  Chandler grabbed 12 and 14 offensive rebounds in two games in 2007.

Hornets Struggle Past the Raptors
Emeka Okafor, David West, and Jarret Jack. Oh, I thought you asked which Hornets players didn’t stink up New Orleans Arena on Martin Luther King Junior day. Honestly West wasn’t particularly good, but relative to the rest of the team he was great, and as usual he finished strong. Things were ugly for everyone else, […]
