Before I get to the game preview against the Golden State Warriors tonight, I wanted to address some complaints I've seen about Peterson's performance for the Hornets.  It appears very easy for the casual fan to take a look at his scoring average this season and dismiss him as a bad signing and a poor […]

What the Hornets did in San Antonio last night was nothing short of pure dominance. Our guys rolled into town with a swagger and may have finally convinced the basketball world that New Orleans is for real. How can we be ignored after handing the defending champs their biggest loss of the season on their […]

Wow! That one was fun to watch. The Hornets and Blazers are both playing some great basketball this season and this match-up didn't disappoint. Well, maybe it disappointed Blazer fans, but everyone else went home happy. Gonna switch it up a little again with this recap. Instead of pouring out the game-flow notes, I'll just […]

There was a good buzz going when I got to the Arena ahead of today's game. They had the big inflatable inflatables out front and there were a million kids running around ready to burst with excitement. The Hornets ran a promotion for the game where children under 12 could get in free when accompanied […]

Riding the streetcar on the way to the game yesterday, Mikey gets talking with another season ticket holder who tells us he can't make the game tonight. He's trying to give away his two tickets, and I love free stuff so I gladly take them. At the Arena, I go looking for my free seat […]

I'm feeling miserable ahead of this one. Sore throat, bad cough, stuffy nose, and for some reason my right eye feels like I just took an elbow from Kenyon Martin. It could be an allergic reaction to that Robitussin stuff, I guess. I've been out sick from work the past couple days and for the […]

Sweet. The Hornets just extended their road winning streak to seven games with a hard fought win over the Rockets in Houston. Here's how it all went down… Pregame Houston are riding a season-high five-game winning streak coming into this one, despite the absence of Tracy McGrady. He's missed the last nine games due to […]

So this past evening the Hornets rolled into Phoenix to play the Suns, who just so happened to have the best record in the Western Conference at 23-9. Add to that, the Hornets were coming off a fine but exhausting win in Golden State yesterday, and David West would not be available due to that […]

As I'm writing this, that movie The Hulk is on USA, and I'm thinking that dude has nothing on Tyson Chandler, who had himself a game against the Warriors tonight. Dateless again, I had nothing better to do than stay in and take some notes… First Quarter Rookie Brandan Wright, taken eighth in last year's […]

Time for the Hornets to get back on track and shake off that lousy loss to the Raptors on New Year's Eve. They're in LA to play the Clippers, and Jordy Hultberg reminds us in CST's pregame show that the Hornets have already won twice in the Staples Center this season. In those two games, […]

We've received a request from the Golden State of Mind Blog to answer some questions of theirs about our team in preparation for our upcoming January 4th game against the Warriors.  Since one of the questions, inevitably, was about Chris Paul and Baron Davis, I've decided to post here an piece I did back in September on The Hornets […]

Coming into the game yesterday, the Hornets had a nice-but-flawed winning streak going on. Sure, we'd won four straight by an average of 20 points, but those opponents had the combined winning percentage of Tim Floyd: NBA Edition. Then along came the Cleveland Cavaliers. True, they've got a losing record, too, but they had just […]

Bam! Make it a four-game winning streak, and we just sneaked ahead of Dallas in the standings. Yup, the Hornets done beat the Bobcats on this fine evening, and not even an NBA TV blackout in New Orleans could ruin it for me. Here's the usual dose of notes regarding said game of splendid basketball… […]

GAME PREVIEW!  Matchup: Hornets(18-10) @ Bobcats(10-16)Opposing Blogger: Queen City Hoops  or Bobcats Bonfire The Hornets roll into their old home in Charlotte tonight to see if they can put down some Bobcats before being forced to rush back home and defend New Orleans from some Cavalier invaders and their so-called King. The unfortunate Cats were declawed from […]

Whoo! Damn that was an impressive win last night. I'm late writing this thing up because a couple bars got in my way coming home from Cooter Brown's last night. Those folks have League Pass and threw the game on a big screen for me and Mikey SeasonTickets. Add to that an alligator sausage po-boy […]

Twas three nights before Christmas, and all through New Orleans Arena, the Hornets kicked ass. Oh yeah, our guys took care of business last night, crucifying the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves, 110-76 (box | recap). I was in the building with a pen and a pad and one of my better shirts. Here's how it all […]

I decided to head to the Hornets-Sonics game early yesterday to catch some of that pregame Buzzfest all the cool kids talk about. Instead of biking it this time, I hopped on the streetcar and got talking with a Hornets season ticket holder named Mikey, who turned out to be super cool.  Down outside the […]

Man, last night was a trip. I really don't have the time, transport or cash to attend every Hornets game right now, but with Cox pissing about with my cable hook-up, my only way to see the game last night was to get my ass to the Arena. Damn glad I did. To hell with […]

Happy face. We're 7-2. Dance, Georgie, dance! Chad, why aren't you dancing? Do you not like the victoriousness? Anyway, not much time to blog today, but I did make that image extra long so you could still get your scrolling fix. If that doesn't satisfy you, head on over to NBA.com, where Tyson Chandler has […]

Hell yeah, Morris Peterson agreed to sign with the Hornets today, which rocks my world just a little bit. More details here and here. Apparently dude is on vacation and he'll sign a deal worth $23 million over 4 years when he gets back. Kudos to Jeff Bower and his magic head shine for tempting […]
