The Hornets beat the Suns
Tonight, the Hornets simply out-hustled the Phoenix Suns and evened Jeff Bower’s head coaching record at 2-2. The Hornets owned a +18 edge on the glass and had an astonishing 25 offensive rebounds – one more than the total number of defensive rebounds the Suns had. The Hornets now stand at 5-8, hardly an impressive […]

Post-Game Journal Report: Game 13: Suns @ Hornets
Was I watching the Hornets on TNT???? This team looked like a completely different team offensively against the Phoenix Suns as opposed to a little over a week ago when they were embarrassed in Phoenix in Byron Scott’s last game as Hornets head coach. Hornets move up to 5-8 on a 2 game win streak… […]

Next Few Games will be a Bellwether
The Hornets play the Suns tonight. I did a preview of this matchup last week before the Hornets went into Phoenix and were absolutely destroyed. Phoenix has continued its strong play and now stands at the top of the Western Conference at 10-2. The good news is the weaknesses I listed in the last game […]

Rant at Non-Fans about Tanking, Shameful fans, and more…
This rant is going to be all over the place and being written late the night after I got food poisoning, but I’m tired of all the negativity and want to urge people to try to fight this negative nonsense being fed from non-fans such as YoungFella. They want to be vocal about being a […]

Post-Game Journal Report: Game 12: Clippers @ Hornets
Hello all. My apologies for not doing a post-game report for the Hawks game. I actually only saw the first half then had to leave but I heard the Hornets fell apart in the fourth. So I will try not to miss another report but it’s not like I get a lot of comments on […]

Hornets dump Clippers at home, 110-102
Hey folks, I’ll be filling in for Ryan and Niall from time to time, and tonight is one of those times. Given my handle, I’d make a joke about Medieval Times, but there’s probably plenty of time for that later. Anyway, the important thing is the basketball, and that is what we’re all here for. […]

Breaking Down the Rookies and some Random Thoughts
There’s a lot of doom and gloom as the team struggles to get some sort of consistency going. That has, of course, inspired a storm of commentary and crazy on the internet. There are people trying to suggest trading Paul makes sense. (You never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever trade a top 5 talent. Ever.) […]

Consequences of a Short Term CP3 Injury
Yesterday I wrote about the likely outcome of a long term Chris Paul injury. In this article (after hearing the same “severely sprained ankle” line from GM/Coach Jeff Bower) we will be examining what the Hornets’ future holds when and if Paul returns in two weeks. As of today, the Hornets’ record stands at three wins and […]

Consequences of a Paul Injury
As i watched Paul tumble to the floor of New Orleans Arena I assumed he would be OK. When he didn’t get up I began to think about life without Paul. After my two day freakout was over I found myself realizing something I never thought possible. As much as it pains me to say it, a […]

The Hawks Win, Paul’s Ankle and Okafor Trade Rumors
One step forward, two steps back. Tonight the Hornets took on a sharp and confident Hawks team and didn’t lose contact until most of the starters came in a few minutes into the fourth. Then their starters came in, and the Hornets were quickly swamped. There were a few highlights, a lot of lowlights, and […]

Post-Game Journal Report: Game 10: Blazers @ Hornets
My apologies if this one is a little late…after coming home from the game last night, I wasn’t in a mood to write a post-game report. But now after 2 days have passed since the firing of Coach Byron Scott, here’s my take: –When I first heard Coach Scott was fired, I was in shock […]

Game On: Hornets @ Hawks
Hornets in Atlanta this evening to take on the Hawks. Chris Paul will not be playing after suffering a bad ankle sprain against the Blazers last night. I’m hearing he could miss up to two weeks. Rookie Darren Collison will get the starting nod for the Hornets at point, looking to build on an impressive […]

The Blazers Beat the Hornets
After watching this game, I’m torn. On one hand, for the first time this season, I turned off a game after a loss and I was fine with it. Not only was I fine with it, I felt like I had hope that the season would turn around for the first time. Yes, Paul was […]
