Another day, another uninspiring performance against a weak-ass team. Well, for 46 minutes at least. The Hornets turned it on late against the New York Knicks tonight and ended up with a 100-88 victory. Chris Paul grabbed the game by the balls down the stretch, scoring a couple of tough, clutch buckets and dishing a […]

The Hornets hurt my eyes and my feelings with their performance in Washington yesterday, but today they have a chance to make amends by demolishing the New York Knicks in that city with the tall buildings and the loud people. Stuff to impress your friends… Hornets (W-L): 39-19 Knicks (W-L): 18-41 Game Time: 6:00pm 6:30pm […]

Like sparks said in the comments section of the Wizards-Hornets recap, this team complains too damn much when things aren't going their way. No, scratch that.  They don't complain too much, they whine.  And bellow.  And wail. It had been a while since I'd heard it, but early in the season, David "Fluffy" West used to shout 'And […]

Passion. Purpose. Pride. The Hornets didn't have any of it this evening, instead conceding to bend over in front of the Washington Wizards for the second time in a week. The result was a 101-84 blowout victory for the Wiz. Linkage: box | recap | standings Notes, thoughts, hopes and dreams… Call me a prick […]

The Hornets are in the capital today, where they will try avenge that miserable loss to the Wizards in New Orleans last Monday. You may recall DeShawn Stevenson twisting the knife as the final buzzer sounded. Since then, the Hornets have bounced back and defeated the Suns and the Jazz by a combined 29 points. […]

One of the finest games I've seen at the Arena last night. The Hornets came out and played their best quarter of the season in the first, then watched the Jazz chip away at the lead all the way into the final stanza. Four point game, 6:33 left, and then we get massive buckets from […]

Tonight will be the best night of my life. First, I shall partake in the drinking of the free beer at the latest pregame BuzzFest. Then, I will dive inside the Arena and watch the Hornets beat the Utah Jazz by any means necessary. Following that, I'll stay out late and drink some whiskeys and […]

I've avoided the whole Deron Williams vs. Chris Paul argument pretty consistently since I started writing about the Hornets.  It's not that I don't have an opinion – of course I do – it's just that I think the people who have opinions I give a damn about(stat geeks, NBA Analysts who clearly watch teams […]

After the Hornets acquired Mike James last week, my main man Toney Blare was telling me about this insane interview dude had with SLAM Radio back in 2006, so I went and tracked it down. You can listen to it over at SLAMonline.com. Keep in mind that this interview went down just after James had […]

So we lose to the Wizards on Monday, then trounce the Suns on Wednesday. Ah yes, welcome to the NBA my friends, where everything makes about as much sense as a bottle of pizza. Tonight the Hornets completed a season sweep of the Suns, winning by a score of 120-103 ( box | recap | […]

So the Hornets are back at it again tonight, facing Steve Nash, Shaquille O'Neal and the rest of the Phoenix Suns at New Orleans Arena. We've beat these dudes three times already this season, so hopefully we can do the sweep thing. A win tonight would also help us stop sucking. Info… Hornets (W-L): 37-18 […]

Damn that winning streak.  The Hornets spent the first half of the year crushing opponents on the defensive end,  staying in the top four all the way to February.  Then, we had that wonderful nine-game run where not only was our defense solid, but our offense was clicking so smoothly that we were outscoring everyone.  […]

DeShawn Stevenson delivered the final dagger with his buzzer-beating three-pointer tonight. That shot cost the Hornets a game they simply did not deserve to win. There we were, at full health, just two days removed from being on top of the Western Conference, playing a sub-500 team missing a pair of All-Stars, and we're tied […]

How about we get back to doing the win thing? The Hornets get a slight break in the schedule when they face the Washington Wizards at the New Orleans Arena this fine evening. We host the Suns and Jazz later this week, and if we combine that with the two-game losing streak we're currently riding, […]

If you get the D&D reference in the title, you're cool.  Really.  Ignore what people have been saying about you for years. Tonight the Wizards come to town.  They have just suffered through a 2-8 stretch, stand 3 games below .500 and still hold the 6th seed in the East. Your screwed up comparison of the […]

Happy Monday. Here's yet another great Hornets wallpaper, delivered by Dariusz Ejkiewicz in callaboration with Edmund Cablao. Featured this time is All-Star David West. Links below the image… 1600×1200 | 1280×960 | 1024×768 Check out more Hornets wallpapers by Dariusz at Ejkiewicz.com. They be good.

Since I have been particularly lax in getting game previews up the past couple games, I figured I'd give Ron a day off and recap the game myself.  Yay? Like the last game, the Hornets couldn't find any offense in the second quarter, fell behind, and it cost them in the end.  Unlike the last […]

Time to put that nasty loss to the Rockets behind us. The Hornets are in San Antonio tonight to take on the defending champion Spurs, who have won eight of their past nine. Tim Duncan is Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili has scored 40+ in two of their last three, and Tony Parker is back from […]

Ugh. That game last night was so bad that afterwards I tried hard to kill the memory with excessive alcohol consumption. Unfortunately, I woke up this afternoon and I could still remember everything. Some thoughts… Final score was 100-80 ( box | recap | standings ). The Rocks pulled away in the second quarter, and […]

Another big game at the Hive tonight. The Houston Rockets roll into town with their oh-look-at-me 10-game game winning streak. Methinks we can take 'em though. Only one of those ten wins came against a team with a winning percentage currently greater than .600. Picture time… Stuff to know… Hornets (W-L): 37-15 Rockets (W-L): 34-20 […]
