The Hornets improved to 4-0 yesterday with their 97-93 win over the Warriors (box | recap | video | photos), the best start in franchise history. To celebrate, there will be punch and pie at my house later. Bring toilet paper. I'm all out. Darnell Mayberry tells us in his blog today… Not to take […]

Hmm, another opponent comes to town on the second night of a back-to-back, having just beat the Mavericks in Dallas. Of course, it's a different town they're coming to, and the Warriors just squeaked by the Mavs last night, unlike the whooping Houston gave them on Saturday. Anyways, the important thing is that Baron Davis […]

Three and oh, baby! Hornets 96, Rockets 90 (box | recap | video). What a game. Pretty much everything clicked: David West scored 22, Chris Paul dished 16, Tyson grabbed 11, Bobby Jackson was electric off the bench, and Peja finally knocked down some three-balls. It was pretty much what we dreamed of all summer. […]

We're back in the Big Easy today, folks. And by "we" I mean "they" and by "they" I mean "the Hornets". It might have been easier to just rewrite that first sentence, but whatever. The Rockets come to New Orleans having absolutely crucified the Mavericks in Houston last evening, with a final score of 107-76. […]

The Hornets are unbeaten and I'm wearing new socks. It doesn't get much better than this, people. Yup, our guys beat the Pacers last night, 100-91 (Box | Recap). That's two wins on the road against two decent teams. If the Hornets keep that up all season and take care of business at home, we're […]

Game two of the Hornets season gets under way in about four hours, on the road against the Pacers. Tip is set for 6pm CT. Indiana are coming off a 106-99 win over the Bobcats in Charlotte, which saw Jermaine O'Neal and Sarunas Jasikevicius score 20 apiece. Stephen Jackson also chipped in 18 points despite […]

Apparently, Chris Paul has signed a contract with Brand Jordan to wear their sexy kicks for the next few years. He wore plain old Nike's last year, like a regular bum on the street. Nobody knows how much the new deal is worth, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's somewhere between $20 […]

Welcome to our legendary and infamous Hornets trivia dealio, where the participants are few and the prizes are fewer. Two weeks ago, the questions were too easy. Last week, they might have been too hard. If we are to believe anything from that story with the three bears, this week should be just right. Dive […]

The Hornets got off to a nice start yesterday by beating the Celtics in Boston, 91-87 (box | recap). Throwing some notes and thoughts at you… Chris Paul. EXCLAMATION MARK. Seriously, now: 20 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, and just one lonely turnover. He dished all those dimes in the first half, then […]

We're about three hours from tip-off as I write this. The Hornets are opening the season at 6:30pm CT, playing the Celtics in Boston. I previewed the match-ups for this blog, although that was before Red Auerbach died and and made this whole game a big emotional night for the C's, thus giving them extra […]

It's finally time for us all to shut up. No more speculation, no more guessing. The Hornets start playing for real this evening. The NBA season is here. You might expect me to do some kind of big crazy-long season preview thingy today, but that's not going to happen. I'm almost burnt out with previews […]

In the fast-moving world of internet blogging, David West signing a contract extension is already old news. Really, it was a no-brainer for the Hornets at this stage. They had to do this. If they were broke and simply couldn't quite afford to pay him, I would have helped out by donating all $14.96 of […]

Put a fork in 'em. The whole NBA Blog Previews project has turned out really good. It's the best collective effort at previewing the NBA season that I've seen. Massive thanks to Jeff Clark of CelticsBlog.com for organizing the whole thing and following it through. To wrap it up, here's the full list of previews. […]

Yo, people. I'm still down a bit from the Saints getting creamed yesterday, but we've got just two more nights of no basketball, so I'm about four million percent happier than I was back in September. There's not a shitload to talk about. In case you missed it, The Oklahoman previewed the Hornets from every […]

As promised, Byron Scott is making practice a living hell for the Hornets in the run-up to the season opener in Boston next Wednesday. After yesterday's three-hour session, Bobby Jackson's knees fell off… "Outside of training camp, this was the toughest practice I've had. I was wondering when we were going to stop. We went […]

Ok, so the questions were obviously way too easy last time round, so I'm going all Cingular on you guys this week. Remember, there are no wrong answers, only incorrect ones… How many triple-doubles has Chris Paul had so far in his NBA career? The Hornets just finished the preseason with a record of 2-5. […]

Yeah, I've been slacking. No excuse for it, just me being lazy. Time to make amends and link up all the previews to date from NBA Blog Previews. It's a great way to get a feel for each team this season, so screw that report you have to do and check them out… Southeast Division: […]

A friend pointed out yesterday that today is Thursday, October 26th, and that October 26th won't fall on a Thursday again for like another six years or something. I think that's reason to celebrate, so I'm going to post four times today. Not all of these posts will make sense or be particularly readable, but […]

The Hornets broke out of their horrible give-up-a-million-points-per-game rut on Tuesday to beat the Sacramento Kings and finish the preseason on a positive note. Ok, so they finished with a 2-5 record, which sucks balls, but that last game got me buzzing. Here's why… The Hornets held the Kings scoreless for the last 5:50 of […]

I’ve never bet on anything really, even on platforms like แทงบอลออนไลน์ เว็บตรง, save for the odd dog at the track once every few years. Never basketball, though. The odds confuse me. At least with the dogs you can just pick the one wearing your favorite color or the one with the stupidest name or something […]
