Okafor v Chandler: Another look
One of the Hornet’s biggest moves of the off-season was swapping Tyson Chandler for Emeka Okafor. Looking at their respective playing times, the winner of the deal is a no-brainer: Okafor has started every game for us, while Chandler has spent significant parts of the season injured. But because half the fun of being a […]

Survivor: Heroes vs Villains – NBA Edition
There are two bits of must-see TV in my life: The Hornets and Survivor. I never miss a minute of either. This season of Survivor has been, quite possibly, one of the most exciting seasons I’ve seen in a long time. The producers brought back their top ten Villains and top ten Heroes and pitted […]

Analyzing Tyson Chandler’s Impact
Hello, here again with another analysis. After the Bucks game, I started reading comments about how people miss TC. And I remember distinctly, a certain someone implying that TC has a bigger impact on the team than CP3. Now Here are the things I was able to compile… Tyson Chandler split stats(W – L profile) […]

Hornets Lose to the Bucks
The rookies gave it their all yet again, but the end result was a 115-95 whooping at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks. There were a lot of negatives so I’m going to run through them quickly first, and then get onto the good stuff so I don’t feel so depressed at the conclusion. From […]

Hornets Broadcast Drinking Game
After watching the Bees get destroyed by simple jump hooks and one step moves in the paint all night against the Bucks, I thought to myself just how nice it would have been to be drunk. I mean really smashed. After hearing what my brain computed as the 400th pun from Gil and Bob tonight […]

Tonight the Hornets (30-27) are on a segababa, in Milwaukee to face the Bucks. Game tips at 7 Central. Much like the Hornets, the 27-28 Bucks are fighting for a playoff spot, and fighting real well lately with nine wins in their last twelve games. They’re 17-9 overall in Milwaukee this season and are currently […]

The Cavs beat the Hornets
On the day I write about Darren Collison for ESPN.com’s Daily Dime, the rookie point and his “pedestrian” 22 and 10 was upstaged by fellow rookie Marcus Thornton pouring in 37 points in 31 minutes. On 22 shots. Oh, and the 23 points Thornton scored in the second quarter surpassed Peja’s 2006 record for most […]

The Hornets beat the Rockets
A solid all-around effort from New Orleans tonight gave them a big win over divisional foes Houston. The defense was impressive for much of the game and there was some nice balance to the offense with five guys scoring 12 points or more. They were able to weather multiple Rocket storms and hold their composure […]

The Passing Game – Paul vs. Collison
There was some talk in comments of the Pacers recap that got me curious: Does the team, as a whole, pass the ball more when Paul is out of the lineup? There were two theories that suggested this: 1) With Paul in the game, players tend to wait around, waiting for him to make an […]

Game On: Rockets @ Hornets
A big divisional showdown for the Hornets and Rockets tonight in New Orleans. The Hornets are in ninth place in the Western Conference, and the Rockets are just a game behind in tenth. These teams have already played two of their four games against each other this season, splitting them 1-1. Tonight’s game tips at […]

Journal Contest Winner
Thanks to everyone who took part in our All-Star weekend Journal Contest. We had 33 entries altogether, and it was no easy task coming up with a winner. Ryan, Joe and I had to lock ourselves in a room for a day and argue which entry was the best; it was a little like the […]

The Hornets beat the Pacers
The Hornets proved once more that they are very concerned about health and wellness. Sporting a 20-point lead at the half and heading for a nice, relaxing blowout, the guys thoughtfully allowed the lead to slip to only four, raising the heart rate of all fans, both Pacer or Hornet, to acceptable levels. Happily, after […]

Holding Out Hope That Next Year Will be Different? I Wouldn’t Bet on it.
As the trade deadline passed, we got what we expected- nothing. No moves to shake up the roster, no dumping of future salaries, and no Julian Wright getting his wish to magnificently warm the bench on another team. We stayed put. Looking to next year, many Hornets fans are holding out hope that we will […]

Rookie Battle: CP3 vs DC2
Ever since CP3 was first injured and Darren Collison proved a capable replacement, fans have been speculating that DC2 might be the next great point guard in New Orleans. His double-doubles remind us of a time when Chris Paul, the greatest point guard on the planet, was healthy and on the court wowing us more […]

The Jazz beat the Hornets
The Hornets showed plenty of energy and fight tonight, pushing the pace, keeping their hands active on D and holding their own on the boards until the final minutes. Unfortunately, tonight’s visitors, the Utah Jazz, are quite good at basketball and can win despite excessive turnovers and lousy transition defense. Still, an enjoyable evening of […]

Forget the Benjamins, I’ll take the Jefferson
Many nights after a Hornets game, I am left scratching my head at the play of David West. I am either befuddled at how well he played and am asking myself why he does not show his all-star form more often. Mostly though, I am always shaking my head at how bad he plays in […]

An Open Letter to Chris Paul (from a Charlotte Bobcats Fan)
Dear CP3, First off, I want to wish you a quick recovery from your surgery and hope to see you back on the court soon. Ok, now down to business. Chris, I am writing to you with one humble suggestion: come home. You remember this place right? Winston-Salem, West Forsyth High School, Wake Forest University; […]
