Are you ready? If not, nothing bad will happen, I'm just being overly dramatic. Fact is the boredom of the offseason officially ends tomorrow. Yes, Monday is media day, which means all the players will be back in town for photos and interviews and handshakes and lots of other stuff which doesn't involve actually playing […]

After months of holding out for a big payday, Bonzi Wells is apparently going to settle in Houston this season for the bargain price of $2.5 million. (He has a player option for year two, which he's likely to ditch in favor of another run at free agency.) That's not exactly the best news for […]

We're going off topic for the latest YouTube Tuesday (even though it's now Wednesday). If you have a pulse you've probably heard about the first love of New Orleans, the NFL's Saints, playing their first game back in the city since K-day. That was Monday night. Here's some YouTube stuff to bring chills to your […]

If you've got $50,000 under the mattress, today is your lucky day. OKCSONICS.com is for sale at the bargain price of $49,500. You owe me the other $500 for the referral. Strange though how the current asking price is $49,500, but the minimum bid is $10. That's a difference of like millions right there. I […]

At last, definitive proof that Chris Paul does not have a monobrow, but does in fact have two distinct eyebrows… This all stemmed from the comments here. I guess the accusers failed to realise that Chris was voted one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world by some magazine I never read. Beautiful […]

Do I even need an intro sentence for this anymore? Party at my house tonight: SLAM magazine's Sam Rubenstein lists the 10 worst front offices in the NBA, and the Hornets don't get a mention. Three months ago, we might have been number one. Tony Mejia is still doing that positional ranking thing. Last week […]

Yes, here we are again. I can hardly contain myself, just like Peja Stojakovic. I had no idea what videos to link up until that last sentence spilled out. Peja it is then… First off we find out that if not for the war in Yugoslavia, Peja might be working in a grocery store right […]

Remember last week when we stayed up all night drinking whiskey and bitching about how Chris Paul hasn't gotten a SLAM cover yet?  Well, we won't be doing that again this Friday, because CP3 and his face are on the cover of SLAM 102. Check the cover here. Yeah, it's a split cover with a […]

For no better reason than there's nothing else to do, let's kick off a new feature that may or may not ever see the light of day again. Yes, it's the first ever YouTube Tuesday here at the 247. Makes you feel kinda fuzzy inside, doesn't it? We'll start this the same way SLAM magazine […]

Some Hornets-related stuff worth your attention. Let's get to it… Following on from the last post, we've got a different opinion on the best small forwards in the NBA from RealGM's Aaron Bronsteter. Peja does significantly better in this list, ranking tenth. Might want to take that with a pinch of salt though, because Shawn […]

You might have come across Tony Mejia's ranking of the NBA's small forwards which we threw up on the news page yesterday. Guess where our new $64 million man was ranked? For that money you would be hoping he's top five. But no. He must be top ten at least though, right? Um, no. Peja […]

Hey random people. I've been around this site for a while but this is the first time I've actually posted something. I'm not Ron. I'm Niall Doherty. I was busy doing the redesign and coding stuff for the new site while Ron was busy not blogging. Anyways, Mr. Hitley went over a few things about […]

Ok, so we're back up and running, and things look a little different. Don't worry, you're in the right place. I'm still the same old Ron with the same bad jokes. But Hornets247.com is now Version 4.0. David West couldn't be happier… Of course, we've made some improvements. It looks a little funkier than before […]

As expected, this server move has become a big pain in the ass. It was all supposed to be done by now, but we're still hanging out in the same old space. New estimate for this all to be complete is Sunday. In the meantime, be reassured that you're not missing anything, because nothing much […]

Lazy, lazy days. The summer keeps rolling along at a snail's pace, and if it wasn't for Chris Paul and Team USA providing some relief, my head would have been in the oven weeks ago. With nothing better to do, let's take a look at how some familiar names are doing in the FIBA World […]

Ok, here's the deal: I'm heading out of town for a few days, to another town, and this other town may or may not have internet access. I won't know until I get there. Therefore, I probably won't be updating the site until next Monday. I know, you're probably thinking that I don't update much […]

These weekends are killing me. The Hornets inked back-up point guard Jannero Pargo last Thursday, but I've been unconscious for the past four days so it's news to me. So who the hell is Jannero Pargo? Well, according to his MySpace fan club, he's "not only best player on the chicago bulls, but the whole […]

Whoa, there's been some Hornets news! Let's see if I remember how to do this… As you can see from the magnificent screen grab above, zee schedule is out, and I guess these are the most important points: The Hornets open the season on the road, at Boston on November 1st, then at Indiana two […]

Whoa, Dell Demps, calm down! It’s only been a few short weeks, but Dell has already shown Hornets Nation that he doesn’t mess around. About 17 hornets fans knew about Dell before he jumped from the number four position in San Antonio to the number one position in New Orleans. Only a few short weeks […]
