Posted in Prior to the New Orleans Hornets game against the Utah Jazz, the Hornets came in at 15-10. But do not let that record fool you. While New Orleans is above .500, they were at one time 11-1, with a 4-9 slump in between. But one thing is for certain: this is a team that will [...]

West Steal Helps Hornets Edge Mavericks 99-97
Wednesday’s best game had to be the tilt between the Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Hornets, which took place at New Orleans Arena. If you were looking for high-octane offense by either team, then you’re out of luck. However, if you like a good old-fashioned defense battle, then you wouldn’t be disappointed. Both teams shot [...]
Hornets Still Perfect, Sting Trail Blazers 107-87
I think that it is a safe assumption to say that Chris Paul is the main reason that the New Orleans Hornets were perfect at 7-0, going into their game against the visiting Portland Trail Blazers. Of course, Paul is getting help along the way, but CP-3 is the straw that stirs the drink in [...]
Late Defense Boosts Hornets Past Nuggets 101-95
Newly appointed New Orleans Hornets coach Monty Williams has reason for some hope for his team. One is Chris Paul, naturally. The other could be the improved defense the team has displayed. During Friday night’s game between the Denver Nuggets and the Hornets, both teams shot over 48 percent in the first half; however, some [...]

More than likely, it was bittersweet as it was their home court for two seasons following Hurricane Katrina. The matchup, in and of itself, was between two teams [...]
West’s 40 Helps Hornets Rally Past Magic 100-93
An unlikely hero came out of the Orlando Magic-New Orleans Hornets game Friday night: former Chicago Bull Aaron Gray. Dwight Howard was having his way with the frontcourt of the Hornets when coach Jeff Bower inserted little-used Gray. The maneuver worked as he was able to slow Howard down, allowing New Orleans to rally from [...]
Collison Impresses, Hornets Sting Rockets 102-94
The New Orleans Hornets, 5-4 since Chris Paul has been sidelined with a meniscus tear in his left knee, are basically treading water at this point of the season. It may make one wonder of the team is regressing and they miss Paul’s presence in the lineup. I’d have to say that CP-3′s replacement, Darren [...]
The New Orleans Hornets Are Rolling, But Is It Enough to Keep Chris Paul?
There have already been some surprises in the NBA this season. The Miami Heat got handed it to them when they lost to the Boston Celtics, 88-80. However, they proved people wrong, destroying several teams, most notably the Orlando Magic to prove they are real deal. Then there are the Houston Rockets, who have opened [...]
