The Sixers beat the Hornets
Sometimes, you just have to make your shots. The Hornets outrebounded the Sixers by 8, including a 10-offensive rebound advantage, they matched them in turnovers, and fouled less often than them. The Hornets even finished well on the 31 shots they took at the rim, an unusually high number for them. It was their bread […]

As for Washington, one source close to the situation said in the wake of Gilbert Arenas‘ indefinite suspension this week: “The Wizards are 100 percent going to try to void Gil’s contract, and they’re 100 percent going to clean house. There is now not a single player they wouldn’t trade. – Daily Dime After reading that […]

Post-Game Journal Report: Game 34: Nets @ Hornets
Niall described this as a disappointing win and I couldn’t agree more. Even though I am a fan, I do like to have fun and criticize each game of what I don’t like to see…since I have been a fan for 5+ seasons. A 4 point win against a 3 win team even when we […]

The Hornets beat the Nets
A disappointing win for the Hornets tonight, if there is such a thing. Facing a woeful 3-win Nets team at New Orleans Arena, the Hornets led for most of the game, several times going up double digits, but they could never quite blow it open. The Nets were able to score with ease for much […]

Hornets’ Store Lacking in Team
Each year I buy one Hornets’ jersey, normally because I’ve either lost my old one, the team’s colors have changed so much that I’m hardly recognizable as a Hornets fan anymore, or the previous jersey just won’t stop smelling like beer, liquor and vomit. In this case, I headed over to the Hornets’ team shop […]

Game On: Nets @ Hornets
Uh oh, expectations starting to rise with this four-game winning streak the Hornets are on. A terrible Nets team in town. Careful now. New Jersey is 3-30 on the season, those wins coming against the Bobcats, Knicks and at Chicago. Yi Jianlian has been carrying the Nets offensively of late, averaging 20+ points since returning […]

The Hornets beat the Thunder
And the Hornets are finally above .500 and the proud owners of their first 4-game winning streak of the season. The game itself was great fun to watch as both teams clawed and fought their way throughout the game, refusing to lose contact with the other guy. Following their usual game plan, the Hornets were […]

Game On: Hornets @ Thunder
Fresh off perhaps their biggest win of the season, the Hornets have another tough test tonight as they take on the 19-15 Thunder in Oklahoma City. OKC have been looking good of late, their lone loss in the last seven games coming in overtime at Milwaukee. Kevin Durant has been killing it, scoring 30+ in […]

Bees playing smarter hoops
Unquestionably the Hornets are playing harder for Bower and Floyd; it was quite obvious that the team had tuned out Byron Scott and his half-hearted attempt at designing any offense beyond high screen pick’n’roll. Bower is kinda wonky about his emphasis on things, but I believe the team is now into seeing how to convert […]

The Hornets beat the Jazz (in Utah no less)
That game was bundles of fun. The Hornets were getting pushed around early and giving up easy baskets, but played some great defense beyond the first quarter and ran the ball about as well as I’ve seen all season. Devin Brown had himself a career night and Chris Paul came up clutch to give the […]

Post-Game Journal Report: Game 32: Hornets @ Jazz
I thought for sure the Hornets would have trouble getting the W tonight because past years have shown the Hornets have little success in winning in Utah. But tonight, the Hornets get a W and get up to 500. I was able to catch just bits and pieces early on because I was covering the […]

The Hornets have gone 2-8 against Utah the past three seasons, and haven’t won in Salt Lake since February 25, 2006, which was Chris Paul’s rookie season. Back then, Devin Brown was the starting 2-guard […]
