April 19, 2012 After a year of writing and chatting and interviewing and transcribing and sitting on my hands so I don’t jump up and scream “GEAUX HORNETS!”, I can finally take a load off and watch a game as a fan. Not only that, but I’m going to be participating in the Walk On’s Skills Challenge, giving one and all a chance to laugh at me in person.
Oh, and there’s a basketball game, too.
April 15, 2012 The team tentatively known as the New Orleans Hornets beat yet another Western Conference playoff contender. Tom and Gayle Benson were in attendance and introduced as the new Hornets owners in the first quarter.
April 15, 2012 I liked how Jason tried to predict stuff the other day and failed miserably, so I’ll double down on the insults and show him how it’s done today.
April 13, 2012 The Eric Gordon led New Orleans Basketball Team took Utah to school late in the fourth.
April 11, 2012 Hornets beat the Kings behind one heck of a performance by Jason Smith and Marco Belinelli.
April 11, 2012 Jerome Dyson makes his debut, Marcus Thornton returns home, some injured/healthy Hornets may or may not play, and it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
Note– There’s a free crawfish boil with ONE THOUSAND POUNDS of Louisiana crawfish for season ticket holders tonight in the beer garden. I’ll see you there!
Double note– A little birdie just told me it’s Ryan’s birthday. Happy birthday, Ryan!
April 9, 2012 The Lakers came back from 9 down in the fourth to overcome a less than stellar performance and beat the Hornets.
April 9, 2012 The Lake show take on the Hornets tonight at The Hive, but they’ll be without Kobe Bryant (shin).
April 7, 2012 Eric Gordon and the Hornets take on the Tumblewolves tonight in what should be a pretty fair match up.
April 4, 2012 Eric Gordon and the Hornets get a feel-good win after fending off a late charge by the Nuggets. Gordon’s free throws with two seconds left would prove to be the difference.
April 4, 2012 Eric Gordon’s long awaiting return is finally upon us.
Note– Michael and at least someone else from our motley crew will be hosting a Vokle Live Video Chat after the game at 10CT/11ET to talk about Eric Gordon and whatever else is on your minds. Join in!
April 1, 2012 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.
March 30, 2012 Somehow the Hornets almost pulled out another road victory despite the laundry list of injuries.
March 29, 2012 Hornets look for second straight win as they head into the Rose Garden
March 29, 2012 The Hornets back court simply dominates in the decisive victory over the Warriors.
March 27, 2012 Turnovers kill the Hornets as Clippers roll in the second half.
March 26, 2012 Just four days ago, the Hornets shot 58% and had five players in double figures, as they beat the Clippers 97-90 in Chris Paul’s return to New Orleans. Unfortunately, the only thing people wanted to talk about after the game was Jason Smith’s foul on Blake Griffin, and now the Hornets travel to LA and many are beginning to wonder if there will be some form of retaliation. Jason Smith is still serving his suspension, but all that means is that someone else might have to pay for the sins of Sir Smitty. Continue reading
March 24, 2012 Why weren’t the Hornets thinking about a three-pointer with less than eight seconds to go, down by three?
March 24, 2012 How will the Hornets handle the first game after an epic win over the Clippers? Plus we have a nice little mix exhibiting Jason Smith’s awesomeness.
