I’m a Grown Man and I Sent CP3 a Get Well Card
Because I am uncreative, unthoughtful, and not very organized I found myself is Hallmark on February 13th at about 4 P.M. searching for a card that told my fiancée everything I had not said to her over the past 364 days. I was joined by about thirty other men with the same idea, as we […]

Tracy McGrady to the Hornets? Why it should happen…
To me, the single greatest invention of the last decade has been ESPN’s Trade Machine. It gives stat geeks like me a chance to play around with things that only used to happen when we got bored with NBA Live/2K. One of the things I’ve been playing around with lately has been Tracy McGrady […]

The Strangest Season on Earth
I have been a fan of the game for 18 years. I have been a fan of the hornets for ten. I though I had seen it all in terms of a basketball fan’s emotion, but this season is, by far, the most confusing and strange. Now, the all star break is over and I […]

For the Hornets, path to a title goes through the CBA, not the Lakers
As the trade deadline looms Hornets fans spend countless hours postulating trade scenarios, with a hope of improving the team in some way, shape, or form. Some desire to make trades that improve the team this year by adding a missing piece that could get us into the playoffs. Others seek long term help, […]

A Dutch Tale
Dear Hornets247 readers, Let me first describe how big basketball and the Hornets are in this country. (the cheese scoffing, weed smoking, clog wearing people of Holland) There are approximately sixteen million people living in such a geographically compact area, so small we’d be hard pressed to match Louisiana. We love our sports though, we […]

a simple gift 😀
Good Morning( or Evening)! I am Nico from the Philippines, and I am an avid fan. I have been posting a lot of fan posts before @ www.atthehive.com and just recently started posting journals here @www.hornets247.com. Believe it or not, I became a fan of the New Orleans Hornets(then Charlotte) because of Baron Davis. I […]

Capturing that Fire and Flair
Draw your memories back to a clearer, happier time when the Hornets were rolling towards the 2007-08 playoffs. Great is it not? In the midst of all financial turmoil, Chris Paul injuries and on court inconsistencies I felt that too much time and thought was being placed in the bad and not the good. Now […]

Why I am a Hornets Fan…
Fairy Tales… we all loved them when we were younger, and most of us still love them today. Remember what you felt like when Pinocchio transformed into a real boy?, or when Prince Charming’s kiss brought Snow White back to life? The 2007-2008 New Orleans Hornets had a similar story. After Hurricane Katrina left New […]

The mystery behind Peja
Many of you are wondering how and why peja plays so differently without chris paul and i’m gonna try to shed some light into the discussion for my journal entry. With CP in the game Peja just sits back there is no motivation he’s maybe the 3rd through 5th scoring option so he just gets […]

The CP3 Connection
I’ve been a Hornets fan for as long as I can remember. I loved the days of Glen Rice and company. When Rice left I went through years where I followed the team but could not get as excited. Then we drafted a young point guard out of Wake Forest. I quickly became infatuated with […]

More than just a game..
*Warning: This post is very personal* To me, basketball is more than just a game. It will always be more than a game to me. I went through a rough patch in my life where everything seemed bleak and I had no reason to be excited except for the Hornets game. Every single day, I […]

Portuguese in Town!
Hi Hornets World! First of all let me say that my English isn’t good! I’m from Portugal and I’m one of the few Hornets fan in my country. I watch most of the games, but there is a handicap, because Hornets games (at home) start at 1 a.m. in Portugal… I start to watch NBA […]

On Fan-hood (and why I am a Hornets Fan)
Here is my honest confession: I am a die-hard sports fan, I love my hometown NFL team (I began rooting for them when they were 2-14 and never stopped even when they were cover-your-eyes awful), and yet, were it not for the commercials, I may not have watched the Super Bowl. How does this add up? […]

Journal Contest: Write to Win Hornets Goodies
Oh look, we’re having another All-Star contest. The important stuff first: What’s the prize? There will be only one winner, one grand prize. That prize will consist of: A $100 voucher for the Hornets Nest store. A Chris Paul Mardi Gras bobblehead (from last week’s Hornets-Sixers game). A signed poster of Darren Collison. Who can […]

Q&A with David Aldridge
NBA.com’s David Aldridge answered a bunch of questions from NBA bloggers this week, and we were able to sneak in two about the Hornets… Several articles have appeared online this season arguing that the Hornets would be better off trading Chris Paul and starting from scratch, since they can’t seem to surround him with a […]

Hornets Win a Strange One
In the last game before the Mardi Gras break, the Bees pulled out a tough win against the reeling Boston Celtics. An optimist would call this a defensive battle, but in reality it looked more like an average Wednesday at the YMCA. The combined forty five turnovers set a season high for both teams, and […]

Game On: Celtics @ Hornets
Another game, another defensive-minded opponent for the Hornets. But hey, after beating the Bobcats and dropping 117 on the Magic, New Orleans ain’t scurred. Final game before the Mardi Gras All-Star break, tipping at 7 Central. The Celtics are 32-17 on the season, 17-8 on the road, but have gone just 9-12 since beating the […]

I Blame Morris Peterson
That’s right. I blame Morris Peterson for Vince Carter’s explosion last night, and no, it has nothing to do with the fact Peterson couldn’t stay in front of him.(Well, okay, that hurt too) I blame Peterson because he made Vince Carter care. Motivation has been the problem for Carter for half a dozen years now. […]
