The Thunder beat the Hornets
If a Marcus Thornton shot is Goaltended, does a referee see it? Apparently, after tonight, the answer is no. Seriously – this one wasn’t even hard to call like the Phoenix game. You could see it in full motion. No, it didn’t matter to the outcome of the game like the last one, but come […]

Hornets Hand the Wizards Their 25th Straight Road Loss of the Season
The Hornets beat down the Washington Wizards 97-89, Â in a game that wasn’t nearly as close as the final score indicated. Throughout the second half the Wizards were down by double digits, and it wasn’t until the closing minute that they were within seven points in the second half. Even then it was only for […]

The Suns beat the Hornets
There were some questionable calls in that game. They went both ways. That’s all I’ll say about that, because here’s the rub: the Hornets should never have been in that situation. Their defense opened the game allowing four straight shots at the rim, and the defensive intensity didn’t show up at all during the first […]

Hornets Outlast the Thunder
The Hornets beat the Oklahoma City in an instant classic, 91-89 behind late game heroics from Chris Paul and David West. Paul came up with a steal with 10 seconds to go that allowed David West to take a game winning shot in the closing second, which he calmly nailed. It was a bittersweet victory, […]

Hornets Beat Down the NBA Best San Antonio Spurs
I was proud to be a Hornets fan tonight. In the third quarter the team played the best basketball I’ve ever seen at any time in my entire life. They were absolutely on fire on both ends of the floor and there was nothing that San Antonio could do to stop them. The Hornets absolutely […]

Hornets beat Memphis in Overtime
My adrenaline is still going after that finish. After crushing Memphis for long periods in the second half, for almost all of overtime, the Hornets defense was struggling to get any sort of stop. Randolph was simply a load in OT and hitting some tough shots over Okafor. With less than a minute, Memphis finally […]

The Hornets come back and Edge the Rockets
For three quarters the Hornets were losing as the Rockets were nailing a ton of mid-range jumpers and the Hornets were turning the ball over way more often than they normally do. As a result, they gave up a season high 20 fast break points by the end of the third.  Then the fourth and overtime came along, the […]

Hornets Survive the Magic in a Thriller
In a game that will surely be remembered by everyone in attendance, the Hornets survived a barrage of threes by the Magic late in the fourth quarter to escape with a much needed victory. MVP goes to Emeka Okafor, who despite being outplayed by Dwight Howard, did enough to get his team the victory. The […]

The Hornets Beat the Nuggets’ Scrubs
If I never see a basketball game like that again, I’ll be a happy man. The energy was contagious. Negative energy, that is. The starting Nuggets didn’t care. Melo was going through the motions. At one point, he was sent to post up, and let Ariza push him out past the three point line. Billups, […]

The Warriors beat the Hornets
In a lot of ways, the loss to Golden State(Box Score) was inexplicable tonight. The Hornets threw together three quarters of solid defense, and then completely forgot what the hell they’d been doing for a four minute stretch and threw away the lead they’d held for most of the game. On seven seperate positions, a simple […]

Hornets Whoop the Jazz
The Hornets destroyed the Jazz 100-71 to even the season series at 1-1. It was a game that left little doubt that the past dominance of Deron over Paul is over, and might just get those still talking about it to reconsider their position. No, Paul didn’t do anything statistically incredible, but he did exactly […]

The Heat clamp down on the Hornets
Two and a half quarters of good, solid Hornets basketball, with the Hornets riding a strong offensive attack by David West, good control of the game’s speed by Chris Paul, and a solid defensive outing by Trevor Ariza. Then, with a few minutes left in the third quarter, in a game with very few mistakes […]

Thunder Beat the Hornets
The Thunder beat the Hornets in what can only be described as a depressing game for the Bees. They had their chances, and gave/let them them away. The Hornets took it inside early and often, and for a while it appeared that David West would prove to be too much to handle for the visitors. […]
-
The Hornets beat the Pistons
Detroit’s starters are kind of depressing. While Maxiel and Wallace worked hard here and there and Hamilton ran around alot there wasn’t a feeling that they were a team – or that they cared much. Most of their shots were of the sort where they let the defender square up on them, and then they […]
-
The Spurs crushed the Hornets
Chris Paul came to play. I’d like to leave it there. Or maybe go to the “Both Teams played Hard” standby that Rasheed Wallace went to, but that would be a lie. The Spurs played hard. The Hornets, for the first seven minutes of the game, didn’t play hard. The middle two quarters of the […]

Knicks Continue their Domination over the Hornets
After two long years of losses, the Hornets should have wanted it more. The Knicks took them down 100-92 behind a strong performance by Amare Stoudemire. In a word, the Hornets were apathetic. Monty wasn’t aggressive late with his substitutions and was content to just let lesser players stay on while the team got closer […]
-
Hornets Beat the Bobcats
As expected, the Hornets beat the Bobcats 89-73 before what very well may have been the sparsest crowd since 2007. I’m fairly good at estimating crowd size, and it’s quite possible that everyone in attendance could have fit in the lower bowl tonight. I can’t express my frustration with the crowd issues in writing right […]
-
The Hornets beat the Blazers
The Hornets got back to their winning ways tonight as they delivered a nutshot to the MASH unit masquerading as the Portland Trailblazers. Oh wait, that was Brandon Roy delivering the nutshot to teammate Rudy Fernandez midway through the game while going for a loose ball. It looked pretty ugly. Regardless, that play was the rest […]
-
The Hornets beat the Kings
I hope none of you had invited friends over to watch that game in the hope of interesting them in Hornets basketball – because it was as ugly a game as we’d had all year – and we’ve played Milwaukee twice. Of course, I can’t complain, because they shot 32% for the game and won […]

Hornets Get Redemption, Beat the Mavs
The Hornets avenged their only loss of the season, taking down the Mavs 99-97 behind Marco Belinelli’s strong defense. For the second time in three nights, the Mavs took advantage of a notably slow Hornets start to take a 12-2 lead, but the Hornets would battle back in the second half. The Hornets passed their […]
