Game On: Lakers @ Hornets
Here come the Lakers, all unbeaten and popular and talked about. Apparently they’ve got the best defense since the Great Wall and their bench alone would beat the Spurs in a seven-game series. (Although with all those injuries in San An, I’m pretty sure James Posey could do the same solo.) Game tips a few […]

Week 2 News and Notes
-The East is 17-12 vs. the West. It seems the turning of the guard is happening some. Age has gotten to some of the western previous powers obviously, but I can’t help but think that David Stern was right when he said conference power is cyclical. -Hornets watch: 4-2 after a 1-2 week. They got […]

Lakers @ Hornets: Clash of the Titans
Lakers(6-0) @ Hornets(4-2) Off Efficiency: Hornets 110.4(6th), Lakers 111.3(3rd)Def Efficiency: Hornets 104.7(15th), Lakers 90.6(1st) At least, I’d call this a Clash of the Titans if the Hornets were playing anywhere near as well as the Lakers are at the moment. As of right now, this is more like Titan v Really Tall Guy. Heavy Weight […]

Player Evals: David West Disappointing
The Hornets are six games in, which isn’t even 1/10th of the season, and Byron Scott is clearly evaluating his players to see what he’ll be able to get the rest of the way. Already several of our players (Mike James) have been the target of vitriol by the fans, some have been seen as […]

The Hornets beat the Heat
The Hornets finally stopped sucking last night, snapping out of a two-game slide with a 100-89 win over the visiting Miami Heat. Let’s dive right to bullet mode. Apologies in advance for the complete lack of coherence. Killed my brain last night. Let’s start with a happy-positive-feel-good bullet: Chris Paul did the 20/10 thing again. […]

Game On: Heat @ Hornets

Miami will try to prolong our misery tonight as they roll into New Orleans, fresh off a 99-83 beatdown of the wounded Spurs. Game tips right after 7 Central. No game preview from Ryan today because he’s busy with the real […]

The DVR League Pass Report #4
My League Pass almost always shows the broadcast for the team opposite the Hornets, so I’m going to make note of some of my favorite bits from the announcers here. (Note: All my journals will be late as I’m almost always watching the game the following morning. I perform live comedy most nights in Austin, […]

The Bobcats beat the Hornets
Well, I’m not quite sure where to begin with this one. I was expecting our guys to come out like Tony Jaa in The Protector, and for the first two or so minutes it was all going according to plan. But soon thereafter began the suckage, peaking with a 7-point second quarter which took a […]

Game On: Hornets @ Bobcats
Tonight the Hornets are back to where it all began almost exactly twenty years ago: Charlotte, North Carolina. Little time for reminiscing though as Chris Paul and team look to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Hawks on Wednesday. We need to flex muscle and kick ass from tip to buzzer. I wanna […]

Mercy is for the weak!
Fear does not exist in this dojo, does it? Pain does not exist in this dojo, does it? Defeat does not exist in this dojo, does it? Strike first, strike hard, no Mercy! Mercy is for the weak, we do not train to be merciful here. A man faces you he is enemy, enemy deserves […]

Anyone Want a Bobcat Pelt?
I was torn this off-season when Jannero Pargo flew of to Moscow. There were parts about his game that I hated, and there were parts of his game that I loved. In the end, I talked myself into thinking it was okay that he left, since he had more bad nights than good last year. […]

Chalk Talk with Jeff Bower
Thanks to a legendary ticket rep named Blake, I was able to join a bunch of other season ticket holders ahead of the Hornets-Hawks game yesterday for a “Chalk Talk” session with Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower. We were led into the bowels of New Orleans Arena, past a chill looking Byron Scott in the […]

Hornets withdrawal…..
I’m trying as hard as I can but I really don’t know how I’m gonna be able to make it through the season without seeing almost every Hornets game. As much as I love Gerry V, the radio broadcasts just aren’t doing it for me not to mention the fact that I really, really, really miss […]

My Week 1 News and Notes
NOTE: Originally supposed to be posted on November 5th, but there were some complications, so the numbers are a day old. – The Philadelphia 76er’s are 2-2, and a lot of people are jumping off their bandwagon, especially because of the bad loss to Atlanta. I would note that at +11.3 they have the best […]

The Hawks beat the Hornets
There we go crashing back down to earth. After treating us to some nice victories in the season’s first week, the Hornets ran into an athletic and hungry Hawks team tonight. Let’s dive right into the notes… I’ll start it off by giving a lot of credit to the opponent. The Hawks are a better […]
