Farewell Marcus Thornton
When the Hornets began taking down signs featuring their nearly homegrown star, Marcus Thornton, most of us knew that it was time to start letting go. Sure, we pretended that it was just a coincidence that the Hornets only homegrown player was no longer a part of their marketing to a fan base who regarded […]

Lakers Beat the Hornets Behind Gasol, Zebras
Despite the Hornets making a valiant effort, there was no overcoming Emeka Okafor’s absence against the Lakers. The Hornets kept it close throughout, and really seemed to have a chance, but with each whistle that went against them you could tell that it just wasn’t their night. Let’s start with what we all knew going […]

Get Better, Emeka!
Although Jason Smith and David Andersen are playing well offensively in the absence of Emeka Okafor, they don’t have the same presence in the paint as Mek. As long as Okafor is out, we will still be lacking that force in the paint that other teams fear. Emeka plays such a huge role for this […]

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 […]

All Star Nods: West or Okafor?
The following is the first of what will likely be a recurring series here at Hornets247. It’s likely you have seen the Broussard vs Boucher weekly debate on ESPN. We have, and decided that we like it enough to roll out our own version. In this initial run, Mike and I debate who is more […]

Bee-Zanie Audition of the Day
For the next week or so I’ll be posting a new Bee-Zanie Audition daily. Unfortunately my flip cam sucked out on me so some of the sound didn’t get recorded. Either way, these videos are pretty funny. Props to everyone who went, and apologies to those who went and weren’t recorded by me. New camera […]

Hornets Center Emeka Okafor Faces an Uphill Battle for the All-Star Game
Emeka Okafor. Sexy. Unless you’re of the female gender, or just appreciate how a jacked man with shoulders the size of basketballs looks, those two words mix together as well as shrimp and crude oil. Press most Hornets fans and they will acknowledge that his basketball game is really more girl next door than Girls […]

D-West’s Game Winner
I could watch that all day, and that might just be what I do. Oh, and with 56 thumbs down (and counting) and a lone thumb up, this is the least popular comment in the History of our comment ranking system: “I hate David West with everything I have in me. But tonight, AND ONLY […]

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, […]

Before Saturday night’s Hornets vs. Spurs game, my good friend and I were lucky enough to be able to take part in a great 45 minute question and answer session with the General Manager of the New Orleans Hornets, Mr. Dell Demps. Going into the Q&A, we both were excited for the opportunity to hear […]

Drink, Pray, Watch Basketball
(edit- Once in a blue moon the prayer is done by a Rabbi. Not sure how I missed that over the years.) Before each and every Hornets game for as long as the team has been in existence, a Christian invocation is done at half court before the national anthem, in which everyone is asked […]

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 […]
