Hornets get roasted by the Suns
From the moment the game started, you could tell the Hornets were flat, and things fell apart about 16 minutes in. Five road games in seven nights will do that to you. Maybe I shouldn’t have brought up how few blowouts the Hornets have been subjected to earlier in the week.

Hornets Come in Second in Second Suns Game
I’ll pick up the recap since this one, I suppose, is too odoriferous for those with a more delicate palate . . . The Hornets failed to score at a record number race according to Rohan from At The Hive. The box score and recaps all seem to agree that the defense was on and […]

Chris who? Eric Gordon hits game winner in Hornets debut
For 47 minutes and 55 seconds Eric Gordon had a tough time finding his stroke from the outside, but he hit the one that counted with less than five seconds on the clock to give the Hornets a 85-84 victory in their season debut. Gordon got to the bucket early and often, slicing up the […]

He went for 26 points on 9-16 shooting, to go with 9 assists versus 1 turnovers, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals, to lead the Hornets to a 100-95 victory over the Phoenix Suns. This guy is indistinguishable from the […]

Video: Suns get away with Goaltend on Game-tying shot
Yeah – it wasn’t a block. It was a goaltend. Call it what it is.

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 […]
