I like to think I'm pretty good at what I do.  My posts are usually a mix of stats and analysis, and judging by the reaction and number of returning users we've been getting of late, they've obviously been written well enough to get my point across.  Still – there is one thing I typically […]

If you're an old-school visitor to Hornets247, you might remember we used to throw out some trivia questions here on the regular. But then I was quizzed by police about my neighbor's missing undergarments and any kind of questioning has since proved extremely traumatic for me. But I'm nothing if not a pervert warrior, so […]

A fine Sunday afternoon it be here in New Orleans. I should really go do some outside stuff today. Volleyball perhaps. Hmm… But ahead of all that madness, here's what's being said about the Spurs and Hornets on the internets today. Enjoy! Actually, before we get to the linkage, let's get some information out there […]

This game was actually not in keeping with the rest of the series.  Yes, I know the final score looks the same, and yes, I know it seems like the Hornets had one big meltdown in the third and that cost us the game, but it's actually not an accurate representation of what happened.  Unlike […]

Typical: I have more time to do this stuff on the weekends but then there's not as much to link up. Screw you, world. We'll start off with the Horry/West stuff again. Mike Monroe and Mike Finger team up in the San Antonio Express-News to tell us that the NBA has reviewed Horry's hit and […]

Game 6 is done, the Spurs held serve at home, and now we wait for Game 7 on Monday. Lots to get to today with Hornets-Spurs being the only game last night and everyone in the world wanting to weigh in on a certain incident that occurred in the fourth quarter. Buckle up. This might […]

Game 7 it is then. As has been the story all series, the home team came away with the blow out victory tonight. After a great, competitive first half, the third quarter was again the difference as the Spurs outscored our Hornets 20-12 and built up a 15-point lead. Manu Ginobili dropped a couple of […]

Alright, so we've got Game 6 in San Antonio tonight. The Spurs need the win to stay alive and force a deciding Game 7 on Monday. Victory for the Hornets would put us in the Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history. Tyson Chandler and David West are apparently healthy enough to lace […]

Game 6 goes down this evening in San Antonio, with the Spurs needing a win to avoid elimination at the hands of our Hornets. Here's the usual bunch of notes, quotes and anecdotes from around the web… Let's start it off with updates on the injuries to Tyson Chandler and David West. Here's words from […]

So far, everyone appears to be stumped as to why the Hornets-Spurs series has been an excercise in blowouts.  Greg Popovich certainly has no answer for it according to his post-game comments from game 5. Being prone to thinking about the Hornets, especially when I'm feeling amped after a big win and still wandering my house with a […]

The Hornets took Game 5 at the Hive last night, securing a 3-2 series lead and putting the defending champion Spurs on the brink of elimination. Today, they had to delete all the porn off the internet so everyone would have room to talk about it. Here's what I found… We'll open it up with […]

Man, both these teams suck on the road. The series swung back to New Orleans tonight and our Hornets were back in business, using a massive 28-11 third quarter to sting the Spurs and put ourselves back in control. David West was nothing short of monstrous on the night, Chris Paul was Chris Paul, and […]

Here we go, folks. The Hornets will host the Spurs tonight for a pivotal Game 5. Win, and we have two shots to take the series. Lose, and there's a good chance there will be no more games at the Arena this season. So make no mistake: this one is big. Stuff to know… Game […]

Big-massive-huge Game 5 between the Hornets and Spurs goes down at the New Orleans Arena this evening. Here's a billion links before the madness consumes us… From Chris Colston in USA Today… The team that wins Game 5 in a best-of-seven that was tied 2-2 has gone on to win 118 of 141 series (83.7%). […]

1) Defensive adjustmentsWhat worked so well in games 1 and 2 – the double on Tim Duncan – is no longer working, and tonight I expect Byron to try a different sort of defense.  The Spurs countered the double by playing Tim and Manu on the same side of the floor, having Tony deliver, clear […]

The Spurs dismantled the Hornets in San Antonio last night and tied things up at two games apiece. Ryan wrapped it up here at Hornets247 last night. Time now to scour the web and see what's being said… We'll jump it up with Jim Eichenhofer's recap over at The Official… San Antonio connected on 51.3 […]

For the second game in a row, I got recap duty – and true to form from the regular season, whenever I get to write the recap it's never a happy one. I've managed to write a recap after a winning game one time all season. I'm not a supersitious man, but if this continues […]

The Hornets will look to bounce back from their Game 3 loss tonight when they take on the Spurs in San Antonio. A win for New Orleans would give them a 3-1 series lead heading back home. Stuff to know… Game Time: 7:00pm Central. TV: TNT nationwide. Radio: KMEZ 102.9 FM in New Orleans and […]

1) Defense, Defense, DefenseHere's the truth about this series:  The Hornets have scored whenever they wanted to against the Spurs vaunted defense.  Even after the Spurs made some adjustments against the Hornets last game, the bugs still scored at a fast clip.  It's part of the reason I still feel pretty comfortable with this series: […]

Man, everybody must be taking the weekend off. Not so much Hornets-Spurs talk on the internets right now. Here's what I've dug up this morning… While Chris Paul and Tony Parker do battle on the court, they are of course good friends off it. In the San Antonio Express-News, Jeff McDonald tells us that the […]
