The start of a tough stretch for the Hornets today, as they host the Rockets in Oklahoma City. After that they get to play Dallas and San Antonio. Yikes. Let's try something new here. I'm gonna throw out some random notes and stuff in bullet-point fashion. Sounds crazy, I know, but stick with it… First […]

Ah shit. Kobe Bryant done did it again, dropping 50 or more for the fourth straight game and delivering another win for the Lakers. Once you look past the dazzling brilliance of Kobe's run, you'll see that the Hornets' ever-dwindling Playoff hopes just took another colossal blow. Let's hit the bullets and shake this out… […]

Plenty of buzz this morning about the Hornets-Lakers match-up, which goes down later today in New Orleans. Real quick… This is the final trip to New Orleans for the Hormets this season. Next year it's for keeps. Tick tock, Oklahoma. Kobe Bryant is the story in this one. Dude has scored 175 points in his […]

There's nothing quite like beating up on some bottom-feeders to make you feel good about yourself. Last night's 114-103 result in Memphis makes it three wins in four games for the Hornets, and fickle fools like me are thinking about that P-word again. Not much time to drop game notes. We'll go Random Shizzle bullet-mode […]

With that 106-88 win over the Celtics at the Ford Center yesterday, the Hornets have now won two of their last three games. Oh yeah, we're shit hot. Watch out Dallas. We're coming for you! News and notes and stuff like that… Linkage: box | recap | video As Darnell Mayberry points out in today's […]

Yo. Just checking in here. Not staying long. Busy busy days in Ronland. The 411…  The Hornets got blown out by the Wiz on Saturday, and have now lost eight of their last ten heading into tonight's match-up with the Celtics in Oklahoma City. We're now two games behind the Warriors for that last Playoff […]

And on the 16th day of the month, the Hornets finally won a game. Yeah, we done beat the Knicks, 92-90 at the Garden in NYC. The hosts had three chances to either tie it up or take the lead in the final 14 seconds, but Stephon Marbury, Channing Frye and Steve Francis all took […]

An interesting observation from Jim Eichenhofer over at Hornets.com yesterday… "The Hornets lost all three of their games over the past seven days, extending their current losing streak to six, but are actually a half game CLOSER to eighth place today than they were a week ago." This is true. Rub your eyes and look […]

You know, I really didn't think it was possible for the Hornets to lose to the Nets last night. Mediocre opponent, on your home floor, great opportunity to stop a lengthy losing streak. I'm lucky I'm not a betting man, or I'd be farmless today. I'm also lucky that I've built up an immunity to […]

As has been noted over on the HR boards, and by the ever-funky Joe in yesterday's comments, the Hornets have an important stretch coming up, one that could make or break their season. Starting with the visiting Nets tonight, four of our next five opponents have losing records, and the Wizards, who we visit on […]

Let's forget about how bad the Hornets have been playing lately and do the trivia thing… Which team recently dropped two four-point plays on the Hornets in the same game? Which team drafted Tyson Chandler? Who the hell is Doug Thornton? With the Hornets out of town, what was happening at the Ford Center this […]

There's two ways to look at the Hornets' 103-104 loss to the Suns last night. You could say our guys played tough and gave themselves a chance to win. Or, you could go the glass-half-empty route and see it as another let down, the Hornets' fourth consecutive loss, each one a stinger. I'm in limbo […]

Back in action. Hornets at Suns tonight at 8pm. A win would do wonders for my personality. A loss might drag me back to the dark side. Real quick… I'm not really feeling the whole bulleted preview thing today. You all know the Suns are great. Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, Amaré Stoudamire and all those […]

It's not looking good, is it? The Hornets 91-106 loss to the Nuggets yesterday (box | recap | video) drops them to tenth place in the Western Conference standings, a half game behind Sacramento, and 1.5 behind the eighth-place Clippers. This three-game losing streak is the longest we've endured in two months. It wouldn't be […]

Thanks to the official website of my favorite sports team we learn today that Chris Paul has at least ten friends, some of which are not even dudes! Shocking, I know. Keep in mind that these are just the friends we know about. He may have even more who remain undocumented. The most friends I […]

The Hornets begin a three game trip in Denver today. We've got stops in Phoenix and Utah later in the week, so anything resembling a win right now would make me feel all floaty-like. Mr. Mayberry takes a good look at the Nuggs in today's Oklahoman. Adding to that… Denver are 28-29 on the season, […]

So the Jazz pretty much blew out the Hornets in Oklahoma City yesterday. Just like that, our bumbling Bees have lost three of their last four and five of their last nine. We're left sitting 1.5 games behind the Denver Clippers for one of those awesome and funky Playoff spots. Oh, and there's that really […]

The Hornets host the Jazz in Oklahoma city this evening and this has got to be quick. The preview I mean. The game will probably be the usual 48 minutes. Straight into it… Utah are 39-19 on the season, 17-12 on the road. After struggling through a mediocre January (8-8), the Jazz have won ten […]

Tyson Chandler's return to Chi-Town is the big story ahead of the Hornets-Bulls meet this evening. Check the news page for several takes on the topic. Tyson has been openly criticizing Bulls' head coach Scott Skiles in the run up, while Skiles says he's losing no sleep thinking about Chandler. Does this seem at all […]

The Hornets took down the Hawks in Oklahoma City yesterday, 107-100. Solid play all round from the starters. Chris Paul and Devin Brown finally regained their respective mojos, Tyson Chandler and David West killed some folks in the lane, while Desmond Mason dropped in 16 points just for gits and shiggles. The reserves were a […]
