Before we get to tonight's game – the newest version of the Bloggers MVP and Rookie of the Year voting is up over at Pickaxe and Roll. I took part again, and CP has risen. Yay me and CP. In an odd coincidence, Pickaxe and Roll is also a blogger for the team we go […]

The Hornets stretched their winning streak to 8 last night while crushing the San Antonio Spurs in San Antonio by 24 points. The Hornets, despite playing quality opponents like San Antonio, Golden State, Phoenix, Portland and Houston, have only lost one game this entire month – an aberrant drubbing at the hands of the Lakers. […]

What the Hornets did in San Antonio last night was nothing short of pure dominance. Our guys rolled into town with a swagger and may have finally convinced the basketball world that New Orleans is for real. How can we be ignored after handing the defending champs their biggest loss of the season on their […]

The Hornets are in San Antonio today to face the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. They've got Tim Duncan, Tony Longoria, Manu Ginobili and some other dudes, but methinks we can take 'em. After last night's defeat of the Clippers in New Orleans, the Hornets have won seven straight overall. We've also got a seven-game […]

I'll keep this one short and sweet because there's way too much fun to be had in this town right now, and it ain't good for the social life to be inside typing all day. Carnival season is in full swing in New Orleans, and there have been parades rolling past my place all day. […]

The LA Clippers are in New Orleans today to play the Hornets. Should we win, we'll have a big and sexy seven-game winning streak heading to San Antonio tomorrow. This is the third of four meetings between the Hornets and Clippers this season. We won the previous two out in LA, by 9 points and […]

I've got a lot to do tomorrow, and I doubt I'll have time to generate a game preview in the morning for the San Antonio Spurs.  So today, I'm going to generate a double game preview covering both games.  I'm crazy like that. Here we go! Matchups: Clippers(13-25) @ Hornets(29-12) @ Spurs(28-13)Offense: Clips 97.5(29th), Hornets 106.5(10th), […]

Just a quick post to let all you super-fantastic people know about the launch of CP3TV.com. To quote the press release, CP3TV.com is "a behind-the-scenes look into the life of Chris Paul as a professional basketball player away from the court. Through a season-long series of short webisodes, Paul will provide viewers with an all-access […]

Wow! That one was fun to watch. The Hornets and Blazers are both playing some great basketball this season and this match-up didn't disappoint. Well, maybe it disappointed Blazer fans, but everyone else went home happy. Gonna switch it up a little again with this recap. Instead of pouring out the game-flow notes, I'll just […]

For tonight's game against the Blazers, we're gonna try something new. Well, new for us, because other NBA blogs have been doing this for forever. This post will serve as our gameday thread. Feel free to voice all your thoughts and observations about tonight's game in the comments below, and I'll throw a quick update […]

It is generally accepted by Basketball stat guys, whether […]

The Portland Trailblazers find their way into New Orleans tomorrow, right now the only team in the league able to claim they've beaten the Hornets twice.  They are a young, rising team like ours, so I figured I'd bombard Dave at Blazer's Edge with a few questions about his team. Hornets247: Nate McMillan never seems […]

There was a good buzz going when I got to the Arena ahead of today's game. They had the big inflatable inflatables out front and there were a million kids running around ready to burst with excitement. The Hornets ran a promotion for the game where children under 12 could get in free when accompanied […]

I should have had this up three days ago but I was busy making up an excuse for the delay. My apologies. Here's another fresh and funky Hornets wallpaper from Dariusz Ejkiewicz, a.k.a. Fartman. This one features Chris Paul, Peja Stojakovic, David West and Tyson Chandler. Me likey. Links for the different resolutions below the […]

A few days ago, our friends over at the Golden State of Mind did a recap of last year’s blockbuster trade between the Pacers and the Warriors involving Al Harrington, Stephen Jackson, Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Ike Diogu and cap fodder.  The Warriors fans have gone on to claim victory – something I won’t quibble […]

Riding the streetcar on the way to the game yesterday, Mikey gets talking with another season ticket holder who tells us he can't make the game tonight. He's trying to give away his two tickets, and I love free stuff so I gladly take them. At the Arena, I go looking for my free seat […]

With our team near the peak of the Western Conference with an oh-so-fantastic 26-12 record, there isn't much for us Hornets fans to complain about these days. Everyone is healthy, the bench is playing better, and our first round draft pick has been on the inactive list for the past three games. Oh wait, maybe […]

I'm feeling miserable ahead of this one. Sore throat, bad cough, stuffy nose, and for some reason my right eye feels like I just took an elbow from Kenyon Martin. It could be an allergic reaction to that Robitussin stuff, I guess. I've been out sick from work the past couple days and for the […]
