Hornets at Warriors tonight, seeing if they can keep the roll going and finish this road trip at 3-0. Game tips at 9:30 Central. The Warriors are 26-49 on the season, 6-32 on the road. They beat the Kings in an OT thriller on Wednesday, but had lost five straight before that. We last played […]

What a game. After the Kings abused us all night long from three-point range, it was only fitting that a buzzer-beating triple by Rasual Butler would be their undoing. Live by the three, die by the three. It was one crazy finish in Sacramento. In the final three minutes, we had Hilton Armstrong and Devin […]

Julian Wright had a bit of a breakout game on Saturday against the Thunder – something every Hornets fan has rather desperately wanted to see all season.   I can’t express the joy I felt watching Paul run a break multiple times that game with players filling both wings – and not only did Wright […]

Another hard fought game, another down the wire finish, and another night when Tyson looked like his old self, West ate the opposing big men alive, and Paul did his best orchestrating it all and pulling a near triple double.  Oh yeah – as usual – the bench left the starters a big steaming turd […]

We probably don’t win this game without Tyson Chandler. In his first game back from injury, and only a few days removed from that whole rescinded trade debacle, Chandler came up huge for the Hornets against the Kings. It took him less than three minutes to hook up with Chris Paul for a Crescent City […]

Matchup: Hornets(28-16) v Trailblazers (29-17) Off Efficiency: Hornets 107.0(7th), Trailblazers 110.6(2nd)Def Efficiency: Hornets 103.4(11th), Trailblazers 105.6(18th) First off – the banner Dariusz put together for tonight’s game is priceless.  The Tyson Chandler-Joel Przybilla hate-fest that threatens to explode every other game between Portland and New Orleans is entertaining as hell, and that picture chronicles a […]

The Clippers visit Tonight I’m not going to do a formal Game Preview today because I wanted to post a couple other things instead.  Still, here’s tonight’s game in a nutshell:  The Clippers are 8-27 and have lost nine in a row.  They are dead last in offensive efficiency, and 17th in defensive efficiency. Baron […]

Not the most exciting basketball game of the season.  You kind of got the feeling that only three people were working hard – Mike James to try and prove a point, Tyson Chandler, to get his rebounding touch back, and Peja, to find his three point stroke. Bullets: Chris Paul got a triple double, and […]

The Hornets didn’t go down without a fight tonight. They came into the house of the defending champs, a team that had won 13 straight games, and gave it all they had. The first half was nice to watch, with the Hornets playing some nice D, coming up with loose balls and running the break […]

Alright, time for some quick updates which don’t have much to do with the actual crossover dribbling and the three-point shooting and the boxing out of the opposing bigs because man we really could do with grabbing a rebound every now and then. Let’s go… Holiday Watch Party People say our season launch party was […]

I guess it gets worse before it gets better. The odds couldn’t have been much more in the Hornets’ favor tonight. We were hosting a 4-8 Kings team — playing without a pair of starters and a key reserve — that had been blown out the night before in Memphis. Our guys hadn’t played since […]

Before we dive into bullet mode, let me say that the win over the Blazers tonight doesn’t do much to wash away the bad taste left by the loss to the Lakers on Wednesday. I’ll repeat the comment I left on Ryan’s recap of that game: The Lakers are running a much more sophisticated offense […]

The Hornets played the Washington Wizards Tuesday in Berlin, the first of their pair of games in Europe.  The next one will be Friday in Barcelona, and again it will be against the Washington Wizards.  I would expect the Wizards to come out pretty hard considering the absolute beating they took Tuesday.  It was shockingly […]
