Hornets suffer heartbreaking loss at the hands of the Clippers
For the third game in a row the Hornets were in a dog fight in the fourth quarter against a vastly inferior team, but unlike the last two games David West could not carry the Hornets to victory. West led the Hornets with 30 points, but they were not enough as the Clippers outworked New […]

Game On: Hornets @ Clippers
The Hornets get the Clippers again just 13 days after laying a beat down on them in New Orleans 101-82. Although the teams played only two weeks ago, they both will look a little different from the teams that took the court on that night. For the Clippers, Chris Kaman and Baron Davis will both […]

No Shave Goatee
At the beginning of the month, I started ‘No Shave November’ just like everyone else. Unfortunately, I’m Serbian, so I grew a Belinelli/Stojakovic beard very easily. I had to shave most of it off for a number of reasons, but I came up with a Hornets-related idea; I only left my chin unshaved & I […]

My Love Affair With The Hornets
For as long as I can remember I’ve been a fan of basketball. In my younger years the excitement of playing kept my attention for many winters and summers inbetween soccer seasons. I started out mostly interested in the frenzy that is college basketball and March Madness. My cousin and I, along with the other […]

Jarrett Jack is ready to listen. Just look at him sitting there with his popcorn. Are you ready? You should be. The runtime of episode is about 20 minutes as Ryan Schwan and Michael McNamara talk about the big trade, reminisce a little about Peja, and talk about what they saw over the past week of […]

New fan feeling
I have been a Hornets fan for about five years now. That is not an incredibly long period of time, but it’s been long enough to see a pretty wide range in the quality of Hornets teams. I must say that the feeling of this team is pretty special. Even though we looked horrible tonight […]

The Hornets beat the Kings
I hope none of you had invited friends over to watch that game in the hope of interesting them in Hornets basketball – because it was as ugly a game as we’d had all year – and we’ve played Milwaukee twice. Of course, I can’t complain, because they shot 32% for the game and won […]

Game On: Hornets @ Kings
Matchup: Hornets(10-1) @ Kings(4-7) Off Efficiency: Hornets 107.1(6th), Kings 104.1(15th) Def Efficiency: Hornets 98.3(4th), Kings 109.3(28th) Thanks to the amazing Dariusz Ejkiewicz for the Game Day Banner. The Hornets visit Sacramento the day after shipping Peja to the Raptors, depriving his Kings fans from seeing him. Hopefully there weren’t too many people who bought tickets […]

A Farewell to Peja
(Thanks to the amazing Dariusz Ejkiewicz for the Peja Banner.) I’m having a hard time with this. I’ve struggled to wrap up Peja’s time in New Orleans with a neat little bow and generate a pithy quote to summarize it. I’ve toyed with “laced with disappointment”, “Sigh . . . ” and “None of it was his […]

Hornets Power Rankings Week Four
Because of the trade just made, this will be the last time we see Peja or Bayless on our weekly power rankings, but we will always remember the gifts they brought us back via trade. Their generous gift of Jack and increased flexibility will not be forgotten, so we thank them. And with that, on […]

Demps knocks another one out of the Park
In 1993, Ken Griffey, Jr. had a home run in 8 consecutive games. Since I consider the Jerrells trade with San Antonio a foul tip, Dell Demps is closing in on Griffey’s record. He hit another home run in his most recent trade on Saturday, as he got Jarrett Jack from the Toronto Raptors. Yeah, […]

Trade in the Works for Hornets-Raptors
ESPN.com is reporting that a five-player trade between the Raptors and Hornets was almost completed friday night, and still may be in the works. The players involved are Peja Stojakovic and Jerryd Bayless for Jarrett Jack, Marcus Banks and David Andersen.   My quick take: I love what this says about Dell Demps. He made a move […]

Attendance Through the Years
Since there has been a good deal of attendance discussion lately, I’ve been tinkering with pulling together a post. The article I posted earlier today beat us up pretty good, so I wanted to give a little bit of information in this journal. Looking at the data below, I don’t see how our economy, […]

Hornets get by pesky Cleveland team to move to 10-1
Think of your favorite cop or detective movie, just pick one. Invariably something massive happens- it might be a big drug deal gone wrong, the President’s son gets kidnapped, or Mike Lowry’s ex-girlfriend gets killed. Whatever it is, you know that the characters in the film are experiencing a truly epic day at work. They […]

Game On: Cavaliers @ Hornets (Updated with Monty and Byron Quotes)
Expect the Hive to be buzzing tonight as the 9-1 Hornets welcome back the coach of their most successful team in franchise history (well… before this year) to New Orleans. Say what you say about the guys in game adjustments, infrequent use of timeouts, and stoic sideline demeanor- he did have a magical season in […]
