Trades happen, players come and go. But before we close the book on the teal careers of Bobby Jackson, Marcus Vinicius and Adam Haluska, let's spend a minute looking back at the good times we enjoyed with these guys on the team. For me, this is what stands out when I think of the guys […]

So Bobby Jackson is gone.  I liked Bobby.  I liked the way he played in Sacramento, I liked the way he was a gamer.  I liked it when he went after the increasingly soft Tracy McGrady one time for being a buttmunch.  Now, Bobby gets to play with that buttmunch.  Sorry Bobby. Now it's time […]

[Update @ 12:59] It's official. Just received a press release from the Hornets confirming that it's a done deal. From that release: The New Orleans Hornets announced today that they have acquired guard/forward Bonzi Wells, guard Mike James, and cash considerations from the Houston Rockets in exchange for guard Adam Haluska, guard Bobby Jackson, forward […]

Fun times at the Arena tonight. There was Mikey screaming from the front row of section 303, "Hey Kidd, welcome to the Western Conference!" and a season ticket holder known only as Vern running from a fire exit after the game yelling "Jason Who? Jason Who?" The Hornets made sure the second Kidd era in […]

Back to work, fellas. I'm not being overly-dramatic when I say that every single game counts from here on out. At first glance the Dallas Mavericks appear to be way behind us, sitting sixth in the standings, but then you realize they're just two games back from our asses. Essential game information, for eyeball consumption… […]

We kick off a Texas Tri-Step today, taking on Dallas before fighting Houston and San Antonio in a back to back pair of games this weekend.  This is the beginning of a long stretch of games against mostly winning opponents that will extend through the end of March. It's time for the team to be […]

adidas were the reason All-Star weekend was so good here at the 247, as they provided the media pass that led to me interviewing the Hornets All-Stars. So, here's some info and YouTubeness from their "Basketball is a Brotherhood" event at Saturday's Jam Session… adidas and PeacePlayers International teamed up to bring "Basketball is a […]

Tomorrow night we commence the home stretch of the season after a highly successful All-Star extravaganza.  I think I can say that so far, this season has not only been amazing, but has surpassed even the most optimistic predictions.  Both Ron and I projected 48 wins for this Hornets team before the season, and my […]

Well, that was a blast. The All-Star weekend rolled through New Orleans for the first time ever and by all accounts it was a massive success. The NBA did a great job putting the N.O. stamp on everything, from the merchandise to the music to Charles Barkley's big gumbo-lovin' ass. It was a great opportunity […]

I scored a media pass for today’s NBA Jam Session via Adidas, who were hosting a Basketball is a Brotherhood event with PeacePlayers International. I wasn’t sure exactly how much access I’d get, but I thought the chance to meet folks like Garnett, Duncan, Howard, Billups and Jamison would be well worth the $1.25 for […]

Just a quick post this morning to get us ready for All-Star weekend. I kicked it off myself last night by dragging my ass down to Gordon Biersch for the Hornets radio show. There I was sitting a few feet away from Oscar frickin' Robertson. Methinks he won't be the last NBA legend I run […]

Well, we got it done. That was about as frustrating a game as I've seen this season, but that trusty Serbian came through again with a massive triple at the death. I can't even remember what Peja Stojakovic missing a three looks like. Notes and such… Final score was 111-107. Linkage: box | recap | […]

The Hornets look to head into the All-Star break with a mucho-sexy four-game winning streak as they take on the Bucks in Milwaukee this evening. A Hornets' victory would also put us 21 games above .500, which would be nice. Essential info ahead of this one… Hornets (W-L): 35-15 Bucks (W-L): 19-33 Game Time: 7:00pm […]

Last game before the All-Star festivities commence this weekend!  The Hornets are visiting Milwaukee after beating the Bulls last night, hoping to close out strong before they start a hellacious stretch of schedule after the break. Since Milwaukee isn't LA and doesn't get 72 articles a day written about them, I figured I'd ask some […]

Well that game was uglier than your grandma's fat friend, but at least she started looking foxy down the stretch, as if you had a few too many drinks at her retirement party or something. Hey, a bad win is better than no win so we'll keep on with the smiling. I'm sick as a […]

The Hornets are in the city of Chicago today to play a game of basketball against an opposing team, namely the Bulls. Should be exciting. The dealio… Hornets (W-L): 34-15 Bulls (W-L): 20-30 Game Time: 7:30pm Central, because Chicago is weird like that. Injury Report: For the Bulls, Luol Deng and Ben Gordon are out […]

This site has been growing in leaps and bounds since I moved to New Orleans in December and Ryan jumped aboard the blog train a few weeks later. You fine readers have responded by bringing along your friends and keeping the site alive with frequent comments. Because of this growth, we get to demand more […]

Recently I, your loyal Hornets247 Blogger, began a series of undercover investigations into one of the players that make up your New Orleans Hornets.  Risking life and limb, I have uncovered a terrible secret involving occult arts most foul.  I also have proof of active participation, perhaps even coercion by the members of the Hornets […]

Nice game last night for the Hornets. We were missing Tyson Chandler (flu) and Morris Peterson (back spasms), yet still managed to beat the Memphis Grizzlies comfortably in the end, 112-99 ( box | recap | standings ). The best part of the whole thing was the crowd of 17,231 there to see it. That's […]

It's the first game back in New Orleans for the Hornets since Mardi Gras, and there's billions to be exited about, especially the first Buzz Fest of 2008 before the game. Now that I'm a season ticket holder I gets to drink me some free beer right there! Our opponent this evening are the Memphis […]
