Every Phoenix Casts a Deep Shadow

Today, in accordance with the long tradition of Hornets247 investigations,(Peja, Paul) we will expose the dark secrets of Mr. Butler and his unlikely rise to […]

Rasual Butler: Phoenix in Flight
I want to take you back to what I wrote about Rasual Butler over the summer, when I produced my comparison of Hornet players to Dungeons & Dragons classes and compared him to the Paladin Class: “Paladins are the good champions of the D&D world. Powerful warriors, they armor themselves heavily and head to battle […]

So… injuries and health ARE the Hornets’ biggest concern.
National pundits, so-called “experts”, and fans alike are left wondering what’s wrong with the Hornets this year. The West is as competitive as ever, but our Beloved Bugs just seem to be a step behind the other top teams in the West. Last season this was the team that was neck-and-neck with the Lakers down the […]

The Hornets beat the Warriors
Finally the Hornets were able to come out, build up a big lead, and pretty much sustain it all the way to the finish. The Warriors fell in love with the no-passing and the long-shooting in the second quarter and our reserves were able to stretch the lead out. We weren’t having much luck from […]

Game On: Warriors @ Hornets
Hornets vs. Warriors tonight at the Arena, tip off a little earlier than usual at 6:00 p.m. Central. The Warriors are 25-44 on the season, 6-28 on the road, and they’ve split their last ten games. Andris Biedrins won’t play tonight due to an ankle sprain. He’s missed G-State’s last four. A running and gunning […]

The Hornets Beat the Grizzlies
The Hornets let the Grizzlies hang around and hang around until 4:33 was left on the clock, and then Paul called over Butler, West and Wright and said, “Hey, why are we letting them hang around? We’re the cool kids!” Three minutes later, the scrubs were in, the Hornets were up 16, and it was […]

Game On: Grizzlies @ Hornets
The Hornets take on the visiting Memphis Grizzlies tonight, game tipping at 7 p.m. Central. As you may have seen in our news section, both Tyson Chandler (ankle) and Peja Stojakovic (back) will be unavailable for this one. Hilton Armstrong and Julian Wright will get the starting nods again. Byron has also hinted at increasing […]

I think that in the next two years he should become a crucial point of the Hornets rotation if he will […]

The Greatest Penetrators in the NBA
There’s been a lot of discussion about which players in the league you’d want dominating the ball for you if your team had to score on their final posession. The typical candidates in most discussions are premier scorers like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Dwayne Wade, and there are some nice crunch-time stats you can […]

The Hornets beat the Timberwolves
Can’t say I’m too impressed with the win tonight. The Hornets did overcome a 4-point deficit with 2:30 remaining which made for an exciting finish at the Arena, but with each passing game I’m left feeling less and less optimistic about how we’ll fare in the playoffs. Coming off two miserable losses and with the […]

Game On: T-Wolves @ Hornets
The Hornets look to break out of this worrying two-game slump when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. Game tips a little after 7 p.m. Central. Peja Stojakovic will again be unavailable, though Byron expects him back within a week. Reports suggest that Morris Peterson could replace Julian Wright in the starting lineup. The 20-47 […]

The Timberwolves are coming in with 2 wins in their last 10 and surprisingly enough […]

The Rockets Beat the Hornets
It was a tale of two halves tonight. In the first half, Houston’s physical defense worked against them and the Hornets went to the line 14 times. In the second, the defense began to tighten and the Hornets went to the line 5 times. The Hornets were unable to handle the increased pressure and lost. […]

Game On: Rockets @ Hornets
Big game tonight. Third meeting of the season between the Hornets and Rockets. They beat us in Houston in November, and we got them back in New Orleans in late December. The Rockets are just ahead of us in the standings with their 43-25 record. They’re 16-17 on the road this season, and their only […]

Let’s Break a Couple Seals and Ground the Rockets
Before we get to the game, I wanted to draw your attention to this quote from the Times-Picayune after the Bulls game: Stojakovic said before Saturday’s game that he has sharp pain extending from his lower back to his legs. I ain’t a doctor, but that description is consistent with either sciatica or a slipped/herniated […]
