Tom Benson becomes Hornets new owner
Posted on 14 Apr 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
Now that all the “I’s” are dotted and the “T’s” are crossed, New Orleans native Tom Benson is the new owner of the New Orleans Hornets. Benson, who already owns the New Orleans Saints, reportedly bought the Hornets from the NBA for $338 million. The NBA acquired the team in 2010 from majority owner George Shinn, who founded the franchise in Charlotte in 1988. The purchase is a big o...

The Hornets and Bobcats try their best to lose to each other
Posted on 13 Mar 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
If you are a fan of good basketball and the NBA, I hoped you missed Monday night’s game between the New Orleans Hornets and the Charlotte Bobcats. The Hornets and the Bobcats, which are arguably the two worst teams in the NBA, put together offensive performances that would rival that of LSU’s offense in the 2012 BCS National Championship game. The first three minutes of the game included ni...

All-Star break hurtful for Hornets
Posted on 8 Mar 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
Most teams that are 8-26 and have lost three starters and a key reserve to injury welcome the All-Star weekend break with open arms. But the All-Star weekend might have hurt the New Orleans Hornets more than it helped them. The Hornets went into the break winning four of their last six games, and it seemed like the group of mostly reserves were starting to click together as a unit. Sure New Orl...

Hornets Strike Midnight on Lin-derella Story
Posted on 18 Feb 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin has had arguably one of the best starts to a career in NBA history, scoring a record 136 points in his first five games as a starter and leading his team to a 6-0 record in his first six starts. But Lin’s fairy tale did not have a happy ending Friday when the Hornets’ 89-85 victory in New York snapped the Knick’s winning streak and brought Lin back ...

Hornets Go Streaking
Posted on 16 Feb 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
Victories have been hard to come by for the New Orleans Hornets this season. But when the final buzzer sounded on last night’s 92-89 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks (12-17), the Hornets (6-23) had successfully extended their winning streak to two. A two-game winning streak does not seem like much of an accomplishment for a 66-game season, but the Hornets have not won back-to-back games si...

Hornets have no answers
Posted on 9 Feb 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
No one thought it was going to be easy for the New Orleans Hornets entering the 2011-12 season with no Chris Paul, no owner and no general direction as to who would lead the squad throughout the season. But the Hornets (4-22) have found no answers 26 games into the 66-game season and remain without a superstar, ownerless and scrambling through numerous different starting lineups with hopes that...

The Hornets are off to the best start in franchise history (8-0), yet there are trade rumors around two Hornets players. Peja Stojakovic and Marcus Thornton have been rumored to be on the trading block. Now Peja is no surprise to be on the block, but Thornton?

Hornets Fast Start
Posted on 8 Nov 2010 by Andrew Tressler.
As many of you know, the New Orleans Hornets are 6-0 and remain one of two NBA teams without a loss, the other being two-time defending Lakers. And to me the Hornets have been the most impressive team thus far in the young season. Now I am not saying they are the best or will be the best, but through six games they are the most impressive. Under rookie coach Monty Williams the Hornets are a who...

Hornets 2010 Preview
Posted on 28 Sep 2010 by Andrew Tressler.
As the New Orleans begin the 2010 season this week with training camp, I decided to make my predictions for the Hornets this season. First things first though. The big news besides starting training camp this week for New Orleans was the signing of former Hornets player and fan favorite PG Jannero Pargo. Pargo as I hope you remember was a key bench player during the 2007-08 Hornets season where...
