Hollinger’s West Predictions
For what it’s worth guys and gals, Mr. Hollinger from ESPN gave us a nice slap in the face today with his Western Conference record predictions. He predicts us to be worst in the west. Obviously he didnt notice how CP3 did little to nothing for us last season until the playoffs, and how after […]

With a Hammer
I have almost no idea what continues to perpetuate the Chris Paul situation, and I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen in the end. The latter is way too hard for someone in my position to figure out. Staring at twitter or news feeds and hoping that `the answer’ pops out is hopeless; […]

2011-2012 Schedule Analysis
Yeah, I know we all have more important things on our mind. We here at Hornets247 fully expect to be writing about the Chris Paul trade and what Dealer Dell managed to get for a top 10 NBA talent within a few days. However! We still have a season to play, and the schedule was […]

Memo to the NBA
Mathew Tully of the Indianapolis-Star lays out what so many people are thinking— “Memo to the NBA: I speak for many fans when I offer this warning: We’re not coming back. Push us much further and continue to expose your out-of-touch mind-set, and we won’t come back. We understand you have your squabbles over how […]

Does it Matter How Much Money the Players Get?
I’m sure we’ve all heard how unbelievable it is that “millionaires and billionaires” have let dividing revenue get in the way of both sides making lots and lots more money. The problem with that, as ThinkProgress (typically a very liberal political website) points out, is that the feud is actually billionaire owners versus a mix […]

The NBA: From a league, player AND a positive fan’s perspective
I’m going to take this time to take a little break from the lockout. Even though I’m not Jewish, I do realize that lots of owners and agents are and that as a result, there won’t be any negotiations in the next couple days as they want to observe Yom Kippur. Therefore I’ll do the […]

New Orleans Hornets Have Officially Sold Over 9,000 Full Season Tickets
The New Orleans Hornets hosted a celebratory event on the 100th day of their “I’m In” campaign to announce that they have officially crossed the 9,000 ticket threshold. The event took place at the Eiffel Society and included season ticket holders who hosted events as well as members of the coaching staff and front office. […]

Broadcasting Still a Major Concern for the Hornets (2011-2012 edition)
On the B.S. Report, David Stern mentioned that the Hornets are negotiating a new TV deal. Since their contract with CST runs another year, it’s a safe assumption that the negotiating being done is with them at this stage. I can imagine that the team’s number one priority is secure as many greenbacks as possible, […]

Quick Notes and Thoughts from an uneventful week
On Thursday night, every single team added at least one player to their roster. Every team, except the New Orleans Hornets of course. Indiana and Dallas did not draft anybody, but they added veterans in George Hill and Rudy Fernandez. Toronto added a guy who won’t be on their roster next year, but they still […]

Hornets End a Fantastic Season With a Loss to the Lakers
The Hornets season ended today in uninspiring fashion, as they fell apart early in the fourth quarter yet again against the Lakers, losing 98-80. The loss ended hope of extending what can only be described as a successful season. The crowd showed their appreciated with a late game chant of “Thank You Hornets”, well after […]

How the Hornets will beat the Lakers
Last night I had a dream. I woke up all sweaty and started crunching numbers. I researched all of my favorite Hornet websites. Game tape was downloaded, watched, broken down and analyzed. After I analyzed and broke down the tape I throughly dissected it. Here’s what I believe could happen.Game 1Willie Green goes 18 -for-18, […]

Hornets247 Watch Party Causes Legal Crisis
Hornets247 community, Hornets247 watch party attendees, and Hornets or beer fans everwhere: It is critical that you come to the Hornets247 Playoff Watch Party today. When Dexter Fishmore, a Los Angeles Lakers blogger, heard about the party for Game 1 of the Hornets-Laker series and the lack of access to free beer to Lakers fans, he immediately began […]

HORNETS BEAT THE LAKERS 4 GAMES TO 3
ADVANCE TO THE 2ND ROUND!!!! Yes it is possible for the Hornets to advance to the 2nd round. Here’s how we’ll do it: Monty sits on the bench and his roll is listener and communicator not thinker. Monty will not decide on any plays. In case anyone has forgotten, Mbenga was with the Lakers last year for […]

West Hurt, But Okafor’s Miracle Shot Allows Hornets to Beat the Jazz
The Hornets beat the Jazz in one of the wildest games in Hornets history, but the story of the night is going to be David West. He went down hard after a crucial dunk late in the fourth quarter in excruciating pain. Immediately it looked like a serious injury, but what the heck do I […]

Shorthanded Hornets fall to red hot Bulls
Conventional wisdom said that this game would be a blowout. The Bulls came in as one of the hottest teams in the league, winners of 16 of their last 17 at home and fresh off a huge victory at Miami. Meanwhile, the Hornets came into tonight down two starters, one of which just happened to […]

Game On: Hornets @ Cavaliers
Matchup: Hornets(36-28) @ Cavaliers(12-49) Off Efficiency: Hornets 103.5(18th), Cavaliers 99.5(28th) Def Efficiency: Hornets 100.8(6th), Cavaliers 110.2(30th) Since the epic 26-game losing streak the Cavaliers have gotten some of their injured players back and managed to return closer to what we saw from them the first 17 games of the season: Near .500 ball. Honestly, I’ve […]

Five Mantras for the frustrated Hornets fan
If you look across the NBA landscape, it is hard to find a team that has frustrated its fan base more than the New Orleans Hornets have this year. The summer started off with the CP3 drama, an assistant who didn’t want to be our Head Coach, an ownership sale that just refused to go […]
