(If you’re new, check the top of this post for an explanation of these news wraps.) A.M. Updates: Benjamin Hochman, The Denver Post: Who were the Nuggets playing Sunday, Rangeview High School? Chauncey Billups lit up the New Orleans Hornets as if he were back playing for George Washington, scoring a game-high 36 points in […]

The Nuggets came out poorly, rushing shots, turning the ball over and generally looking pretty jittery.  If not for Billups having an absolutely crazy game shooting the ball, they would have been down after that first quarter.  The second quarter was about the same . . . and then the wheels fell off. That third […]

(If you’re new, check the top of this post for an explanation of these news wraps.) A.M. Updates: We’ll start with a great round table discussion over at At The Hive, featuring ticktock6 and mW from Hornets Hype, Jim Eichenhofer from Hornets.com, and David Schexnaydre from the Times-Picayune. I’ll just list the questions they tackled […]

Based on previous games between these two teams, here’s some things I expect to happen in the opening game.  First, expect some cross matching in the backcourts as both teams prefer to keep their best defender on the opposing team’s point guard. Dahntay Jones will open defensively on Chris Paul, while Billups slips over to […]

No afternoon update today, just this one big batch. And please help us make these news wraps better by telling us what you’d like to see more/less of in the comments. Have at it… First off, here’s a backing track (direct mp3 link). Myself and Jeremy Wagner from Roundball Mining Company recorded a Hornets-Nuggets preview […]

This is the first of two opening posts I have planned to talk about the Denver Nuggets – the next one, hopefully up tomorrow evening sometime, will address matchups and some of the schemes I expect the Nuggets and the Hornets to open up with in the first couple games. The intent of today’s post […]

Just like a year ago, we’re going to try put together a comprehensive listing of all the important news stories every day during the Hornets playoff run. Each post should be a good one-stop shop to find out all that’s being said and reported about the Hornets and their opponents. While we’re doing this daily, […]

Final score in this, the final game of the regular season, was 105-98 after overtime. The result, coupled with the Rockets loss to the Mavericks in Dallas, means the Hornets fall to the 7 seed and will face the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. Before we flip completely to playoff mode, […]
