Better Days Ahead For Buzz City?

The 2025-26 NBA season has begun! The Charlotte Hornets and their fans are expecting to improve upon last year’s paltry 19 win season. Though that bar is low, better health and another high lottery pick could make Charlotte a much more formidable team than in recent years. Can LaMelo Ball and Co. take a step […]

Why Not Us?

The NBA season has started and that means it is time to be(e)lieve once again. Here’s why this year should be different. The Hornets roster seemingly has depth/talent all the way down. This Hornets squad features better depth than any season of LaMelo Ball’s career and the same could be said for any season Kemba […]

A New Chapter

In spite of finishing last season with a 21-61 record, the Charlotte Hornets (and their fans) should be optimistic about the immediate future. A golden opportunity to usher in a new era of Hornets basketball lies at the feet of newly hired EVP of Basketball Ops Jeff Peterson and new head coach Charles Lee. It […]

Reshuffling The Deck

For the first time in many years, the Charlotte Hornets made significant changes to the team around the trade deadline. What the Hornets were able to achieve in the middle of this lost season is almost unbeelievable. For starters, Ish Smith and James Bouknight are no longer part of the team. Gordon Hayward, Terry Rozier, […]

The more things change, the more they stay the same

Through 25 games, Charlotte is in familiar territory… Near the bottom of the NBA standings looking up at the competition. Sitting at 7-18, there aren’t enough bright spots to hide the ugly truth; the Hornets are in for another disappointing season. There is some hope for the future in Charlotte, as new ownership has taken […]

Lost Season, Lottery Luck

The Charlotte Hornets’ 2022-23 season was essentially over before it ever began. The amount of injuries, bad luck, and losses overshadowed each and every small victory or step in the right direction throughout the campaign. Trying to find encouraging performances and positive themes for this past season is an exercise that would be legitimately difficult […]

The Battle for the Bottom Continues

With the NBA trade deadline now in the rearview, Charlotte’s roster is finalized through the rest of the season. In typical Hornets fashion, the moves made at the deadline lacked a sense of urgency and were largely uninspiring. Breaking down the recent trades and assessing Charlotte’s current situation will provide clarity on what to expect […]

First Win Streak of The Season, Forecast Still Gloomy

Through 20 games, Charlotte’s NBA franchise owns the association’s 5th worst record and is fresh off back-to-back wins for the first time this season. The injury bug continues to bite Buzz City’s players, to the point where Gordon Hayward’s wife publicly voiced her concern that the team is not adequately protecting their players. Last time […]

Should Charlotte Tank?

The Charlotte Hornets are 3-7 through their first 10 games of the season and the early results of Steve Clifford’s return as head coach are ugly. Charlotte has a chance to right the ship tonight against the Washington Wizards, needing a win in the worst way. A loss tonight would put the Hornets at a […]

The Buzz is real

The Hornets are fresh off a win against the OKC Thunder that brought their record up to 26-20 on the season. The Hornets looked in control almost the whole contest, and everything that is exciting about this Charlotte squad was on display Friday night. Over halfway through the season, Charlotte looks every bit like a […]
