So Dwyane Wade dropped a gamer on the Hornets yesterday, sending our guys to their tenth loss in twelve games. As if we didn't have enough to blame him for. The game was really a metaphor for the season so far. The Hornets were up 97-88 with six minutes left, enough to get us believing […]

Man, the Hornets season is so screwed up right now, I can't even think straight. They've lost nine of their last eleven games, their two best scorers are out indefinitely due to surgery, and Bobby Jackson's rib isn't looking any less cracked. Entering today's game in Miami (tip at 6:30pm), their current record is 10-12, […]

The Mavericks are in New Orleans today to play our favorite insect-themed pro sports franchise, and that usually isn't a good thing. The Hornets have dropped 18 straight games to Dallas, which equates to not having beaten the Mavs since November of 1999, back when Baron Davis was a rookie and there was no such […]

I can't be mad at the Hornets last night. No Peja, no D-West, no Bojangles, no Tyson, no fucking chance. Benjamin Hochman summed it up perfectly in today's T-P with the following… Including Chandler's 11.9 rebounds per game — fifth in the NBA — the Hornets were without 65.5 percent of their rebounding against the […]

The Hornets are in New Orleans today to play the San Antonio Spurs. The game is being shown live on TNT, which is nice. I don't have much else to say by way of an intro, so let's just skip the foreplay and get at the good stuff… The Spurs are the guys up atop […]

I'm not sure why either, but I had to call it something. Time is short and there's not much to talk about, so I'll keep this Craig Claxton… Our lead story this evening: Former Hornets' chief marketing officer guy Tim McDougal is getting into the Chinese food business. The Hornets' long lost sister franchise is […]

Nice win by the Hornets over Cleveland yesterday. Final score was 95-89. Next up are the Spurs on Thursday and the Mavs on Saturday (both games in New Orleans) so we needed a W in the worst way. News and notes, just like grandma used to make… Linkage: box | recap | video | photos […]

Today's Hornets-Cavs game at the Ford Center will feature men playing basketball. That's about all we know for sure, because there's no telling which Hornets' team will show up. Could be the inspired squad we've seen take down the Pistons and Lakers on the road, or more likely the comatose bunch who done got blown […]

Hello, losing record. The Hornets dropped the final game of their magnificent road trip in Oakland last night, 101-80, sending them back home with a 9-10 record and the Cavs, Spurs and Mavs looming next week. As Byron Scott said postgame… "Right now if you look at our team, we're not a very good basketball […]

And so the roller coaster continues. Follow one of the best performances of the season with one of the worst. It makes all kinds of sense if you don't think about it. The final score last night was 94-74; the worst offensive showing of the season for the Hornets. Makes it worse that it came […]

It's nice that I don't have to write about a six-game losing streak right now. The Hornets will try to build on Wednesday's unlikely win in L.A. when they meet the Sonics in Seattle tonight. Here's the 411 in your typlical half-assed bullet point fashion… The big news in this one is that Ray Allen […]

Just when you think you have this team all figured out, they go and beat the Lakers, 105-89, on their home floor. It's the latest surprise in what's already been one crazy season for the Hornets. We've seen injuries, winning streaks, losing streaks, injuries, franchise records, miserable home losses, thrilling road wins and more injuries. […]

Having not played a game since 1986, the Hornets are back in action today when they meet the Lakers in the STAPLES Center. As you know, the Hornets have more injuries than a small hospital right now, and pretty much everyone is counting them out tonight. Do they have a chance? Let's break down the […]

Same shit, different week… The Hornets begin a three-game road trip tomorrow against the Lakers, and they're likely going to be without West and Peja for the entire trip, while Bojangles is now chilling for two weeks with what's turned out to be a cracked rib. This ain't a pretty stretch. Darnell Mayberry had a […]

Yeah, the Hornets got beat again, this time by the Bulls, 111-108. They're now 8-8 and riding a five-game losing streak. But it's not all bad news… The Hornets actually put up a fight against Chicago. They managed to score more points in a game than the Saints. Chris Paul filled up the boxscore. Rasual […]

Our severely depleted Hornets meet the underachieving Bulls at the Ford Center today for one of those basketball game things. Given that the Hornets will be without David West, Peja Stojakovic and probably Bobby Jackson, I think it's only fair that they scrap the traditional five-on-five full court approach and play three-on-three on one basket […]

Great news, people: Bobby Jackson has some busted ribs and didn't practice yesterday. He might even miss tomorrow's game against Chicago. Fantastic. So, let's see, that leaves us with a somewhat limited number of offensive threats. We've got Chris Paul, then of course there's… um… well, maybe Byron Scott could lace 'em up and knock […]

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, the Hornets up and lose a home game to the Toronto Raptors. The second smallest crowd in the OKC's lengthy pro basketball history turned out yesterday to see our guys get beat, 94-77. So that's a four game losing streak. That's an average of 77 points […]

The Hornets are back in action today at the Ford. In town are the Raptors and their 4-9 record, which means the Hornets should pull out of their current three-game tail spin. But, as we know by now, there are no guarantees. Peja and West are still out, so Chris Paul will need to return […]

Ah yes, this should pass the time… Which Hornet's middle name is Cleotis? As a team, how many technical fouls have the Hornets picked up so far this season: (a) 8 (b) 11 (c) 13 (d) 16 How many times have the Hornets won 50 or more games in a season? Which current Hornet starred […]
