Michael and I rant about the Lakers game. And the Orlando Game.

Five Reasons To Keep Watching The New Orleans Hornets This Season
With the season winding down and the Hornets well and truly out of the playoff race, I think it’s time to reflect on why we should keep watching. A team like this needs fans like us. I’m quite sure we all want to say we we’re there in the beginning right? Well, let’s do that […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 122: Hornets Tanking?
Michael and I recap the week, talking about a close loss to Brooklyn, a tight win over Detroit, and a cringeworthy (or poetry-worthy) game against OKC.

In the NO Podcast Episode 121: The AD Progression
Michael and I discuss the lousy trades that occurred at the deadline, and then spend more time on what those trades mean. Players staying put probably means they are more likely to hit free agency. Bingo! We spend some time reviewing Anthony Davis and several strong games of his, and then talk about the 1-3 […]

In the NO Podcast Episode 119: Unproductive Davis and Seeking Redemption
Ryan and Michael worry about Anthony Davis’s production and the fact he’s been the fourth best big man on this team for a few games now. They also talk Hawks and Raptors, covering some trade targets from the former team and talking trash about Rudy Gay on the second. Okay, I’m doing that. Then Ryan […]

Greivis Vasquez has been the source of a good deal of discussion lately in posts, in comments, and in the podcasts. There are at least two `sides’ here.

Following Eric Gordon’s Twitter Account
Most of us are following Eric Gordon’s confusing, hilarious and occasionally frustrating twitter account, which recently had a 124 character tweet that’s gotten the Hornets247 offices scrambling. Some of us are desperately looking to scrounge up more sass (because we can never be satisfied no matter what), others are replacing Christmas trees with Eric Gordon fatheads (because […]

Hornets Lose at Home to the Offensively Challenged Wizards
“We played down to their level.” That was the word coming out of the locker room, as Jason Smith pointed out something glaringly obvious, yet completely unexplanable. How could a team with the worst record in the Western Conference think that they can come into any game and take an opponent lightly? How can you […]
