I was close to not posting at all today, given the Hornets miserable, horrible, putrid, disgusting, ugly, stomach-churning, sickening, revolting, vomit-inducing 73-85 loss to the Mavs yesterday evening.   Thankfully, the Saints are right about now putting the finishing touches on a second demolition of the Atlanta Falcons, so I'm feeling average again. I could […]

Two nights ago, I had this dream where the Hornets won the championship. The dream as I remember it didn't involve basketball, or the Hornets for that matter, more so me running around an old timber house, chasing Gary Oldman with a flamethrower. In the end, I managed to kill Gary Oldman with said flamethrower, […]

Today, the Hornets play the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team not unlike the Minnesota Timberwolves they played (and beat) last weekend. Game time is 7pm. Game place is the Ford Center. Game snack is up to you. Not much time today — have to go judge a wet t-shirt competition — so just throwing out some […]

Tough game for the Hornets yesterday. They got beat in Phoenix, 92-83, ending their second four-game win streak of the season. There's a few things we can look at and moan about with this game, but fact is the Hornets played the second game of a back-to-back on the road against a team that is […]

Oh yeah, 8-3. The Hornets beat zee Heat yesterday, 101-86 (box | recap | video | photos), to improve to the best 11-game start in franchise history (apparently). If ever there was non-conclusive proof that the Hornets are going to win the whole damn thing, this is it. News and notes and a pint of […]

Tough stretch for the Hornets starts today when they meet the Heat at the Ford Center. Then it's the Suns tomorrow night in Phoenix, followed by the T-Wolves in OKC on Friday, and a trip to Dallas to play the Mavs on Saturday. Busy busy. Here's the skinny on the Heat… First and foremost, Shaq […]

There's not much to talk about today, but I'm posting something anyway. I hope you can handle that. Shocker: Baron Davis is injured! I'm sure some of you picture me staying up past midnight to stick needles in my Baron Davis voodoo doll, but that's not the case. I actually enjoy watching the guy play […]

Life is good, isn't it? The Hornets continued to roll yesterday with a nifty 99-96 win in Minneapolis (box | recap | video | photos). Chris Paul busted out for a career-high 35 points, while Peja Stojakovic provided the killer blow, knocking down a triple with less than a second to go. Afterwards, I took […]

Kind of strange not having a Hornets game for two days, but the players definitely earned the rest. The Detroit game on Wednesday wrapped up a stretch of nine games in fifteen days. That's tough enough without six of those being actual road games, one being played in New Orleans, and the other two in […]

This round is short and sweet, but the questions get no easier. Have at 'em… Hilton Armstrong has a pet snake. What's his name? By my count, four franchise records have been set so far this season. List them. Before missing Tuesday's game against the Bobcats, how many consecutive regular season games had David West […]

Baron Davis went nuts last night, dropping 36 points, 18 assists, 8 rebounds and 3 steals on the Kings, in a 117-105 Warriors' victory. Dude had 8 turnovers, too, but that can't take away from what he did. Unbelievable. Anyways, given the Hornets downtime, we might as well take a look at a few more […]

I'm paraphrasing here, but Chris Paul said a few weeks back that the Hornets would be tough to stop this season because they have so many different guys who can score. Never, in a million years, did anyone think Hilton Armstrong would be one of those guys. Check it: 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting. This […]

The Hornets got back on track with their 94-85 win over the Bobcats yesterday (box | recap | video | photos). This means they still have a shot at that 78-4 record. Just have to beat the Mavericks three times now.   News and notes and thoughts and thoughts and notes and news in no […]

Confucius say, man who go to bed with itchy butt wake up with smelly fingers. Damn right… The Hornets freefall from the top of Marc Stein's power rankings. Will we see them up there again this season? This magic eight ball told me no. On Monday, "Hornets forward Desmond Mason judged a canned food sculpture […]

Hey look! I was wrong: It can get worse! David West is expected to miss at least two games with a forearm injury. I guess that explains the bandage he wore against the Clippers yesterday. I've made a subtle alteration to the image below to highlight said bandage. See if you can spot it. I […]

So, I'm all over yesterday's little rant. I've since put things in perspective and decided if someone had told to me two weeks ago that the Hornets would start the season with a 4-3 record, I probably would have been ok with it.  That said, the Hornets are still playing crap right now, and that […]

Ok, it's officially time to worry. The Hornets just got done losing to the Clippers, 92-76. Apart from two buckets by Chris Paul in garbage time, our guys managed just 8 points in the fourth quarter. That's a big steamy pile of shit. At least we can take comfort in the fact that the Hornets […]

Whoops, the Hornets are on a losing streak. It's a long season, so I'll do my best not to get hung up on one game like I've done in years past, but the Hornets' 92-91 loss at Portland last night was ridiculous. (box | recap | video | photos) The Blazers do of course appear […]

(Don't worry, it's one of those ironic headlines, like Sam Cassell looks pretty, or Rasual Butler hates mirrors.) The Hornets picked up their first loss of the season in Oakland last night, losing to the Warriors, 121-116 (box | recap | video | photos). The result brought to an end that unprecedented 24-hour period in […]

I was going to throw some more trivia at you right here, but I got hit in the face playing that basketball thing for reals yesterday, and now I have some kind of massive tit-like swelling below my right eye. No shit. Given that, my attention span is even less than usual, which means I […]
