ESPN Grades Wade
Wade : 40 minutes. 8 points (2-12 FG; 0-5 3PM; 4-6 FT), 2 boards, 3 assists, 1 block, 6 turnovers, -17 (+/-) Grade: D. D? Is the “D” for Dwyane? That statline is a definite “F”. Someone here noted this new report card thing for Heat games. Cute gesture, but after reading this, man, what […]

Hindsight: Dell Demps Stayed Late, Taught Summer School
It’s only been seven games for this new look Hornets team, but it’s already clear that Dell Demps was the cool kid last summer. He showed up late and schooled his colleagues, making it look like a piece of cake in the process. He was so smooth, that nobody even realized that he was quietly […]

Before Making Next Move, Hornets Must Determine Who They Are Chasing
There is a tidal wave coming to the Western Conference, and with it there will be a shift in the balance of power. That wave is moving slowly, but make no mistake, someday it will be here; and that day might be sooner than later. The wave brings with it bright new stars in Kevin […]

Zach Harper’s Article on Chris Paul
Normally something like this would just go in the news section, but it’s such a must read for Hornets fans that it’s going right here instead. It’s titled “You All Lost Your Minds. Let Me Help You Find Them.” Enjoy. With the emergence of Rajon Rondo, Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose last season, the influx […]

The Hornets beat the Clippers 101-82 to continue their best start in franchise history, and remain undefeated. After a whistle filled first five minutes of basketball, the Hornets had a nine point lead over the Clippers, and that was that.

Game on: Clippers @ Hornets
The undefeated Hornets take on the Clippers today, in what could very well be the first blowout victory of the year. Returning to the Hive is Baron Davis, but he won’t be starting. Big Baron has been packing on the pounds lately, and has lost his starting role as a result. Blake Griffin, the former […]

Cautiously Tiptoeing Through a Field of Optimism
The most recent data shows that 98 percent of romantic relationships end at some point, and most of them end badly. The odd thing is that an even higher percent of those relationships start off so well. How can this be? When something starts off well, it seems logical to assume that things will only […]

Power Ranking: THE ASCENSION
Sooooo has anyone checked out the new power rankings from NBA.com? Honestly, I barely keep up with them. It’s just a fat head NBA analyst throwing a bunch of teams on a chart and saying “well this ones better”. The rankings mean essentially nothing… BBUUUUUTTTTTTTTT… In this weeks essentially useless power rankings the Hornets are…wait […]

Checking in on Marcus Thornton
As the Hornets continue their quest to become the first undefeated team in NBA history, one man has been relatively lost in the mix. Expected to be the main spark plug off the bench, Marcus Thornton has instead been relegated to fourth, or even fifth guard status on certain nights. His contributions can’t be ignored, […]

Hornets Power Rankings- Week Two
He has Risen. After being cast aside by this writer (some say unjustly), Jason Smith had perhaps the two best games of his young career to make all of us Believers. He answered our prayers with 18-foot jumpers that barely even touched the net. He miraculously snatched down rebounds and parted the Miami Heat defense […]

The Hornets beat the Bucks. Six and Oh, baby!
The vaunted Bucks defense showed up tonight and gave the Hornets fits. Unfortunately for the Bucks, the Hornets defense was also present and the game turned slugfest through the last half of it. Very few easy baskets. Rare open shots. In the end, the Hornets prevailed, pounding out an 87-81 win.(Box Score) Early on, the […]

Game On: Hornets @ Milwaukee
I’m a little worried about this game. It is a classic letdown game. It’s the second night of a back to back after a charged, emotional, and tough game against the Heat. Add to that the fact the Hornets have already beat this team, and they may look past them and get caught. You can’t […]

The Hornets Defense – or Why New Orleans is 5-0
This morning, the Hornets awake sporting the 5th most efficient defense in the league. While that sounds good, I want to put it in perspective. Unlike many teams sporting tough defenses, the Hornets have now played the 4th, 6th, 11th, 15th and 29th ranked offenses in the league. The average efficiency of those five teams […]
