Game On: Hornets @ Bobcats
The Hornets travel to Charlotte for a rare late morning game (10 CST). Monty stated both before and after the Grizzlies game that he wants to get the starters more minutes as the preseason winds down, so we can expect to see 25-30 minutes from the likes of Belinelli, Ariza, and CP3. Regarding Okafor and […]

Mensah-Bonsu led Hornets fall to Grizzlies
The Hornets led 74-67 heading into the 4th quarter and that is when rookie Xavier Henry and OJ Mayo came to life. The two were responsible for scoring or assisting on all of the Grizzlies points during a 10-2 run that gave Memphis the lead that they would never relinquish. Interestingly enough, the Hornets starters […]

Game On: Hornets @ Grizzlies
The Hornets take on Memphis tonight at the FedEx Forum and are likely to be without David West yet again. The good news, however, is that it looks like newly acquired point guard Curtis Jerrells will be in uniform and available. In addition, the bench will be a little shorter as both Mustafa Shakur and […]

The Hornets link to the D-League and San Antonio continue to grow stronger as Hornets GM Dell Demps has traded a 2nd round pick to the San Antonio Spurs in return for Curtis Jerrells, a former D-league point guard that played for him for three years on the Austin Toro’s. Me? I don’t know anything […]

Building a Contender: PART 1
INTRO I am not naive, nor inconsiderate. Being one of Chris Paul’s biggest fans, I have come to somewhat understand how this guy likes to run his show. Other then Steve Nash, I don’t believe there is one other player in this league who so truly wants to build a team the RIGHT way, […]

Roster Spots Up for Grabs as Hornets Fall to Hawks
No David West, no Emeka Okafor, and Chris Paul only played 11 minutes. Tonight’s game was about figuring out who was qualified to occupy those last few seats at the end of the bench and some guys played better than others in the Hornets 84-74 loss on Saturday night. Willie Green probably locked up the […]

The Pacers beat the Hornets
The Hornets and Pacers clashed last night in Indiana, and the Hornets lost by 98-101(Box Score) after a very close finish that could have gone either way. One thing, though, is clear. Monty didn’t care at all about winning the game. For the entire fourth quarter, the team rolled with bench players plus Belinelli, with Belinelli serving […]

Game On: Hornets @ Pacers
The Hornets are playing the Pacers tonight, so Hornets fans get to see the entire backcourt that could have been, if not for the trade that sent James Posey and Darren Collison to the Pacers. Both Posey and Collison are still on the Pacers, and are expected to play. David West is out, but everyone […]

In Defense of Point Guards
Building a championship team around a point guard has been unsuccessful in the past 20 years, but that’s not to say that it isn’t still a good course of action. Zach Harper poses the question, “Should you build your team with a point[guard]?“, in a recent article on TrueHoop: You’ve got a chance to draft […]

The contract (again)
The blog entry by Ryan some days ago stated, that it’s obviously tough to transform an expiring-contract-asset into an impact player, without giving up additional talent, too. That’s probably true, but only when it comes to sure-fire impact players, that are hunted by a lot of teams (of course one can imagine a guy like […]

The Hornets beat the Heat
That was enjoyable as the Hornets beat a badly depleted Heat team 90-76.(Box Score) For most of the game, the Hornets held a comfortable lead – except for the stretch where Bosh got hot and put the Heat on his back. It still bugs me that people dismiss him. The dude is an efficient scorer. The […]

Hornets Sign DJ Mbenga
The Hornets have agreed to terms with free agent D.J. Mbenga. The 7-0 center played in 49 games for the Los Angeles Lakers last season, averaging 2.1 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. He will immediately try to challenge Aaron Gray for the backup center job, but Gray is simply a better player. Mbenga is […]
