David West and his Scoring Outburst
I should have written this post when David West dropped 44 and 12 on the Rockets last week. I didn’t. Part of it was because it happened in a loss. Part of it was because West had been so damn disappointing to that point I had a hard time fighting past my David West-related malaise […]

The Hornets beat the Rockets
The Hornets were at home tonight so of course they went all Dr. Jekyll down the stretch and came away with a win over the Houston Rockets. The visitors appeared more poised and held the lead for the vast majority of the 48, but the Hornets did enough to keep within striking distance. Late in […]

Game On: Rockets @ Hornets
Rockets in town tonight to face the Hornets. The first game of 2010 gets tipping at 7 Central. We saw the Rockets just last Tuesday, when the Hornets lost 100-108 in Houston. David West put up a career-high 44 points and Chris Paul delivered a triple-double, but the Rockets rained threes and had a more […]

A note about commenting
There have been many strong opinions and disagreements in the comments recently, with some commenters being called out for various reasons. I want to take a minute and address the issue. A few things: Calling someone an idiot because they disagree with you or say something you don’t want to hear is just plain lazy. […]

Post-Game Journal Report: Game 30: Heat @ Hornets
Hoping the second meeting between the Hornets and Heat didn’t end up like the first one, the Hornets let a fourth quarter lead slip but still take the W at the Hive with a double-double from Emeka and another strong performance from David West, who is also in trade rumors. Game 30: Heat 91 @ […]

The Hornets beat the Heat
For the second night in a row, the Hornets built a big lead in the third as one of their all-stars went off, and then promptly collapsed to start the fourth and gave it all away. Tonight, however, Okafor did not foul out, keeping his strong defensive presence in the paint for the final minutes, […]

Game On: Heat @ Hornets
Hornets back to the cozy confines of the New Orleans Arena tonight, taking on the visiting Heat and hoping to avenge that November loss in Miami. The 16-12 Heat have won five of their last six and are sporting a 6-4 road record. They’re coming off a 34-point win over the Pacers on Sunday. Dwyane […]

Post-Game Journal Report: Game 29: Hornets @ Rockets
Another tough loss to swallow, especially because of David West’s career night and Chris Paul’s quiet triple-double. Hornets fall to the Rockets in Houston to fall to 13-16. Game 29: Hornets 100 @ Rockets 108 –It was a career night for Mr. West with a new career-high 44 points (18-30 FG, 2-4 from 3PT) and […]

The Rockets beat the Hornets
That game was both exhilarating and crushing at the same time. As Mark said in the comments, in the third, the Hornets looked like the Hornets of two years ago, forcing turnovers and getting easy buckets. Paul got a triple double, West went for 44, 12 and 4 assists, Emeka Okafor, despite middling rebounding numbers, […]

Game On: Hornets @ Rockets

Trade in the Works: Devin Brown for Jason Hart
The Minnesota Timberwolves website had an press release up briefly stating they had just traded PG Jason Hart to the Hornets for Devin Brown. Hart has played in only one game for the Wolves this season, and played only 29 last year for the Nuggets and Clippers. The two players have the same salary, so […]

The Bulls beat the Hornets
I spent three hours of my day at the local airport, trying to get my mother onto a new flight to Chicago after the first was cancelled due to weather. When that proved impossible, I drove for five hours(there and back) to get her to another airport that would fly her out to Chicago. Then […]

Post-Game Journal Report: Game 28: Hornets @ Bulls
Disgusting…that’s all that I have to say about this. A friend told me shortly after the loss to just stop watching them since they don’t care to play the game so we (us fans) shouldn’t care to watch them. And I’m leaning that way too. I hate to admit it but the Hornets need to […]

Game On: Hornets @ Bulls
Hornets back on the road today (uh-oh), battling the Bulls in Chicago. Game tips at 7 Central. The Bulls have started out with a disappointing 10-17 record, and followed up last week’s OT win over the Hawks with losses to Sacramento and New York. The loss to the Kings saw them blow a 35-point third-quarter […]

Why the Hornets Would Trade Paul
Speculation regarding a potential Chris Paul trade from the New Orleans Hornets has been raging throughout chat rooms and message boards ever since the Bees did not live up to expectations last year. It has continued this year with the Hornets disappointing many. The chatter escalated substantially when a deal for Tyson Chandler was put […]

Should the Hornets Blow it up and Trade Chris Paul
As the Hornets continue to prove that the team this year is a fairly average crew, more and more writers(like the always entertaining Bill Simmons) – and “fans” – are arguing that blowing up the team and starting over is the best course. The first thing we need to address – and let’s make no […]

Post-Game Journal Report: Game 27: Warriors @ Hornets
Hornets get a nice W at home against the Warriors. I was at the game and I have to say I got scared after the 3 missed free throws from Paul but Paul made it up by draining a jumper to seal the win at the hive. Hornets are now 13-14…1 win away from 500 […]

The Hornets beat the Warriors
The Hornets defended their homecourt tonight from an injured-plagued yet determined Warriors team, wining 108-102. The Warriors, despite their record, are pretty much custom-built to give the Hornets fits as Paul and company routinely struggle in shutting down quick guards. Tonight was no exception as Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry routinely got to the rim […]
