I was going to write a big long post revealing the truth about Ron Hitley, but I’ve decided just to state some quick facts instead. Here they are: Ron Hitley is an alias which Niall Doherty has been using since Hornets247 first went online back in 2003. Niall decided he needed a fake name because […]

A few weeks back I mentioned that we’d be launching a new version of the site before the season started. Well, since the season starts next week, I guess now would be a good time to make that change. During this switch, which we plan to initiate tomorrow (Thursday) morning, there will be downtime and […]

More funky previews today, this time from up and to the left. I haven’t had time to read them yet but I’m sure they’re fantastic and such. I’m especially eager to see how thems OKC folk fare with the NBA blogging thing. Jeremy: Pickaxe and Roll Nick Sclafani: The Nugg Doctor Minnesota Timberwolves Derek Hanson […]

Going unbeaten in the preseason has its rewards you know. Apparently if you make it through with nothing but W’s, David Stern sends your team a cake with “Love and Lemons” written on it. Might not sound like much but I hear D-Stizzle insists it be the most exceedingly good kind of cake. Time is […]

Bower isn’t an active, sexy GM like Kevin Pritchard of the Blazers or Bryan Colangelo of the Raptors – men who are as skilled with the press as they are with building a team.  He gives short answers during interviews, and isn’t interested in engaging in active dialogue.  Several times I’ve been told by journalists […]

The Wizards got back Antawn Jamison, Antonio Daniels and Juan Dixon for this game, but the ending score was even worse than the previous game for them.  The Hornets grabbed a lead in the first quarter behind the Human Scalpel, Chris Paul, and never let go.  Even when Caron Butler went nuts in the third […]

More blogger previews today. This time we've got the Central Division, which really isn't all that central when you consult the big Google map. Regardless, that's what it's called and these folks will tell you what basketball happenings will be happening there for the next eight months or so. Dig in… Chicago Bulls Nels: Give […]

The Hornets played the Washington Wizards Tuesday in Berlin, the first of their pair of games in Europe.  The next one will be Friday in Barcelona, and again it will be against the Washington Wizards.  I would expect the Wizards to come out pretty hard considering the absolute beating they took Tuesday.  It was shockingly […]

Today is Blog Action Day, “an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.” The issue this year is Poverty, and we here at Hornets247 decided to take part. […]

Here's another dose of legendary previews for your eyes to read. This time the focus is on the toughest division in the NBA, which our Hornets just happened to win last season. Dallas Mavericks Jake Kerr: Mavs Moneyball Houston Rockets grungedave and UofTOrange: The Dream Shake   Memphis Grizzlies Joshua Coleman: 3 Shades of Blue […]

A prime basketball maxim is that for a player to experience succes, they "Must play with Confidence."  Last year, the Hornets schedule was custom built to breed that very attribute in the Hornets.  For the first two months of the season, 31 games in all, Chris Paul's team only faced six games against teams that […]

Hey, don't take my word for it.  Take John Hollinger's of ESPN.  He released his mathematical projections for the NBA a couple days ago, and they predict that Chris Paul will have the best PER of any player in the league. Of course, take that with a grain of salt.  He's also stated that there […]

Last Years Record: 56-26 Key Losses: Jannero Pargo, Bonzi Wells Key Additions: James Posey, Devin Brown 1. What significant moves were made during the offseason? Ron: The biggest move for the Hornets this past summer was getting a new deal worked out with Chris Paul, ensuring he'll be running point in New Orleans through at […]

It's that time of year again, when all us infamous NBA bloggers unite like five teenagers from four continents (Russia's part of Asia, right?) to create something beautiful and of benefit to all mankind. Yes, it's time for team-by-team previews written by unpaid folks in basements across America. If you really want knowledge on a […]

Ah yes, here we go again. Sure, it's only half-assed preseason action, but I still got me a much needed fix of Hornets basketball tonight at the Arena. Nothing like catching up with the random people at the Buzz Fest, checking out the funky new court in person and witnessing some middle-aged dude ripping his […]
