Ok, so the Hornets are back in Oklahoma City for tonight's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. After the emotional win in Denver yesterday, I'm thinking this has all the makings of a big fat depressing loss. Hoping I'm wrong. On to the list of stuff…  The Bucks' Michael Redd, who has missed the last 16 […]

OH HELL YEAH! The Hornets beat the Nuggets in a thriller last night in Denver. Desmond Mason was the hero as he picked up a loose ball and stuck it in the cylinder with microseconds left in overtime. I'm on three hours sleep right now but I'm buzzing. This must be how Michael Madsen was […]

The Hornets continue their rollercoaster season later today when they face off with the Nuggets, high in the Colorado sky. I'm short on time so let's skip the foreplay and jump to the important stuff… The Nuggets come into this one having lost six of their last seven. Their only win came in overtime aginst […]

With the Kings 105-99 win last night, our Hornets have now lost eleven straight games at Arco Arena, a nasty streak dating back to 1997 or 1897, can't remember which. Suffice to say it was a long time ago. The loss also dropped the Hornets down in the latest standings, where they now lie ahead […]

The Hornets try to keep this thing moving tonight when they make the trip to Arco to play zee Sacramento Kings. Like seemingly every other game lately, this one may have some serious Playoff implications, as the Kings are fighting for that eighth spot just like us. They're currently just a game behind the Hornets […]

Benjamin Hochman of the T-P tells us that with the Colts' Super Bowl win yesterday, Linton Johnson lost a bet with Marc Jackson and will have to wear a Colts' hat for the next week. So if you see the following on the court in the next few games, you'll know what's up…

So the Hornets not only beat the Rockets last night, they blew them out, 87-74. I didn't see that one coming. Shows what I know. How about we jump into some news and notes, then grab breakfast before check out at 12? Cool…  Linkage: box | recap | video | photos | standings I don't […]

You may have heard that the Hornets will be wearing red jerseys for their Valentine's day (Feb. 14th) game against the Kings at the Ford Center. They figure to look something like this… Sickening, isn't it? I'm not at all crazy about the idea. The Hornets are supposed to help me forget about not getting […]

Woohoo, the Hornets won! Chris Paul is back to his old self, Tyson Chandler is forward to his new self, and the P-word seems realistic again. That is, at least until the next inexplicable loss. The Hornets take their inconsistent show on the road today to play the Rockets down in Houston. Methinks I'll do […]

The Hornets wrap up their big long homestand today when they take on the Minnesota Timerwolves at the Ford Center. Byron Scott had some choice words for his guys in today's papers, calling the team "very immature" and criticizing the individual lack of effort. Can't say I blame Byron. If he's feeling half as frustrated […]

One step forward, two steps back. Chris Paul, with a fresh haircut and two healthy ankles, was back for last night's game against the visiting Sixers, but our Hornets still managed to lose, 89-78. As I said, every loss right now is a dagger for the Hornets' slim Playoff hopes, especially a loss to one […]

Something strange about Bobby Jackson's first blog over at RealGM.com. It reads a bit weird all the way through, like it was written in a serious hurry, but what jumped out at me was the comments about Zach Randolph and the Blazers. Apparently penning this ahead of Monday's game against Portland, Bobby writes… Our last […]

I'll admit that there is still a chance the Hornets could make the Playoffs, but it's so slim that every defeat from here on out is potentially fatal. Last week saw losses to the lowly Sixers and the not-so-lowly Raptors, disappointments which had me throwing in the towel. The Hornets will have an opportunity to […]

Found something interesting earlier. The following was buried deep in Sam Smith's column in the Chicago Tribune yesterday… Lakers center Andrew Bynum said coach Phil Jackson told him to "watch how Tyson Chandler plays." Said Bynum, who grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds after watching the Chandler tapes: "He watches the ball and never stops moving. […]

The Hornets won their sixth straight home game last night, beating the Blazers 103-91 at the Ford Center. The demon of that 27-point blown lead back in November has been exorcised. News and notes and stuff… Linkage: box | recap | video | photos The win puts the Hornets ahead of the Blazers and eleventh […]

I'm pretty much stealing this layout from GSoM, but I figure the About.com Division Reports are worth a post on their own each week. Some of them haven't been posted yet, so I'll be checking back to update this later. Do the click thing and get caught up… Eastern Conference: Atlantic Division (usually) brought to […]

The Blazers are in Oklahoma City today to play our enigmatic Hornets. Portland are 19-26 on the season, compared to the Hornets' 18-25 record, putting the Blazers just percentage points ahead in the standings. Both teams trail the Clippers by 3.5 games for that magical eighth and final Western Conference Playoff thing. Portland have won […]

The Hornets won their fifth straight home game yesterday with a 94-83 triumph over the visiting Jazz. Utah were a bit shorthanded, entering the game without Andrei Kirilenko, then losing Carlos Boozer to a knee injury about four minutes in. Boo-fucking-hoo. No prizes for guessing what's next…  Linkage: box | recap | video | photos […]

The Hornets got back on track last night with a win over the Kings down in New Orleans, and thus restored my faith in their Playoff chase. Ha! Just kidding. I'm not that fickle. Nice win and all, but it will take another nine in a row to get me back on board. Anyways, these […]
