The Hornets fought hard and stayed close for most of last night's game against the Pacers, but just couldn't pull off the win as Indiana made all the key plays down the stretch. The final score was 100-93. Some real quick notes… Linkage: box | recap | video | photos Desmond Mason had perhaps his […]

Hornets-Pacers tonight at the Ford. Tip is at 7pm CT. Chris Paul, David West and Peja Stojakovic are still out, while Bobby Jackson will probably be allowed ten minutes of PT, max. Our Hornets are of course coming off their worst offensive showing of the season, have lost ten of their past twelve, and have […]

Them Pistons are like elephants; they never forget. As a friend of mine once said though, "Of course elephants never forget. All they have to remember is eat the green stuff and shit on everything else!" I'm not sure how that fits in with anything, but the fact is the Hornets got crucified on their […]

Our fabulous Hornets, losers of nine of their last eleven games and more hobbled than a two-legged tripod, are on national TV tonight (TNT, 7pm CT). You see, it's not just us loyal fans who should have to endure the torture of 48 minutes of Hornets' basketball. No, the whole country must suffer with us […]

And so ends the Hornets' season series with the Golden State Warriors. The final score last night was 97-89, with the Hornets fighting back from a 13-point, third-quarter hole to make it close until the last minute. Zee news and zee notes… Linkage: box | recap | video | photos The Hornets shot better from […]

A few things knocking around my brain before Hornets-Warriors…  This from the latest Hornets.com NBA Superlatives, where they ask a player (Desmond Mason in this case) a bunch of super-fantastic questions… Best uniforms in the NBA (besides the Hornets'): "I really like the Milwaukee Bucks' new green and red uniforms. Those are good colors." Umm, […]

Back from outer space and it's the Hornets-Warriors tonight at the Ford. First game of 2007 and fabulous old/new leather basketballs to play with. We've seen Hornets-Warriors three times already since November 1st, so this will be the final meeting between the teams this season. Let's hit that switch and flip to bullet-mode… This is […]

Not much unexpected about the Hornets 20th consecutive loss to the Mavs last night, and so I'm not gonna spend much time talking about it. Linkage is here: box | recap | video | photos. One thing that bothered me about the game — aside from the losing; I'm becoming immune to that — was […]

Yes, the Hornets win over the Nuggets yesterday was damn impressive. When Desmond Mason and Rasual Butler combine to shoot 35 of the team's 81 field goal attempts, you don't expect a W, but that's exactly what happened. I'm as confused as you are. Bullet mode… Linkage: box | recap | video | photos I'm […]

It has been announced that Chris Paul will miss about 4 weeks with that ankle injury, which makes it a 99.9% certainty that the Hornets will not be making the Playoffs in 2007. What began as a season of unprecedented promise has effectively come to a shitty end in late December. I must say, this […]

No truth to that rumor about tonight's game being postponed, so get ready for Allen Iverson and whoever else plays for the Nuggets at the Ford Center later. It will be another tough game — is there any other kind for the Hornets these days? — as Chris Paul, David West, Peja and Bobby Jackson […]

Last night's loss to the Blazers was not the biggest surprise ever. Far from it. But instead of looking back at yet another kick in the nuts, let's look forward and try to figure out if there's any hope left this season. After the Blazers game, the Hornets are now 11-17 on the season, which […]

Worst. Season. Ever. Chris Paul sprained his ankle yesterday against Seattle and is out indefinitely. The Hornets didn't win. What's left of the team will play the Blazers in Portland tonight at 9pm CT. I have no motivation to do this right now. The AP preview is here. Out.

That Spurs game never happened. I refuse to talk about it. It's the season of goodwill and all that crap, so we'll focus on something a bit less serious. Here's the Hornets singing Jingle Bells, or at least giving it their best shot. Not sure how that got on YouTube. Happy holidays, people. You're all […]

Ah, that's better. With the Spurs looming later today, the Hornets could well have been heading into their two-day Christmas break with a six-game losing streak, but their 100-97 OT win over the Grizzlies yesterday means that ain't gonna happen. It's still shitty that it takes overtime to beat a 6-20 team on your home […]

Just heard about Hornets' dancer Brittanie Montgomery, who was killed in a car crash yesterday. Never good to hear this kind of thing, especially this time of year. Our thoughts are with her family. Also, the Hornets signed Devin Brown today, but that doesn't seem real important right now.

The Hornets have a good chance at picking up a W tonight when the 6-20 Memphis Grizzlies roll into Oklahoma City. It's a battle of two of the worst teams in the West right now, so it won't be on TNT or anything. Here's the 411 on zee Grizz… Pau Gasol is indeed back from […]

It's been a while, so here's some brain scratchers… Who the hell is Brock Schnebel? Which team have the Hornets already played three times this season? As of this posting, who has more wins in December, the Hornets or the Saints? Who leads the Hornets in fouls per 48 minutes? Who's the odd one out: […]

The Hornets came up short in Orlando last night, 83-86, but rather than focusing on yet another loss, I think we should take a minute and dwell on Chris Paul's uber-funky slam over Dwight Howard… That shouldn't feel so good, but when you've lost 11 of 13 games, you take what you can get. Fine, […]

The Hornets are in Orlando today to play the Orlando Magic of Orlando. There will be bouncing and running and possibly some jumping, so it figures to be an exciting game. I was going to bust free of the bullet-point format today and deliver a long swooping verse-like preview for this game, but then I […]
