Alright, let’s talk about them Hornets and Pelicans, you know, the basketball teams. I ain’t no expert, but I watch the games sometimes, when I ain’t too busy with the chickens and whatnot.
Now, these Hornets, they been buzzin’ around for a while, right? Sometimes they good, sometimes they not so good. Like that year, 2021-22, they did alright, won more games than they lost. But mostly, they been kinda…meh. They had that play-in spot, which sounds fancy, but ain’t the real playoffs, you know? It’s like gettin’ invited to the party but not allowed to dance.
The Hornets and Their History
And get this, the Hornets used to be in New Orleans! Can you believe it? Then they moved to Charlotte, then back to New Orleans for a bit because of that hurricane, Katrina, that was a mess. Then they went back to Charlotte again. It’s like they can’t make up their minds where they wanna be. Reminds me of my nephew, always jumpin’ from one job to another.
- Hornets had a decent season in 2021-22.
- They moved around a lot, from Charlotte to New Orleans and back.
- They even had a spell in Oklahoma City.
Then there’s these Pelicans. They got that name from some kinda bird, I think. And somethin’ about fightin’ the British way back when. Sounds tough, I guess. The owner, this fella Benson, he bought the team and wanted a new name, somethin’ that fit New Orleans better. So, no more Hornets there, now it’s Pelicans. Makes sense, I guess. We had chickens, then we got goats, you gotta change things up sometimes.
Pelicans Buzzing Strong
Now, these Pelicans, they been playin’ real good lately, specially after that All-Star break. They movin’ faster, shootin’ better, winnin’ games. They say they in a “higher gear,” whatever that means. Like when you put the tractor in high gear to plow the field faster, I reckon. They even favorites to win against the Hornets, big favorites, like 12 points! That’s a lot, even I know that.
And the Hornets? Well, they on a losin’ streak. Five games in a row! That ain’t good. They on a road trip now, tryin’ to turn things around. But playin’ the Pelicans in New Orleans? That’s a tough one. Like tryin’ to herd cats, you know?
Who’s Gonna Win?
People makin’ predictions, sayin’ the Pelicans gonna win for sure. Some say they 86.6% sure! That’s pretty darn sure, if you ask me. I seen some scores too, like 126 to 108, Pelicans winnin’. Seems like the Hornets got their work cut out for ‘em.
Important Matchup
They say this game is important, a “critical matchup.” I guess that means it matters for the playoffs or somethin’. For the Pelicans, they wanna keep winnin’ and get a good spot in the playoffs. For the Hornets, they just wanna stop losin’ and maybe, just maybe, sneak into the playoffs. It’s like plantin’ seeds, you wanna make sure they grow strong so you can have a good harvest.
Final Thoughts
So, if you ask me, and nobody did, but I’m tellin’ ya anyway, the Pelicans look like the stronger team right now. They playin’ good, they at home, and the Hornets are kinda…strugglin’. But hey, it’s basketball, anything can happen. Sometimes the underdog comes out and surprises ya. Like that one time my scrawny rooster chased off the neighbor’s big ol’ dog. But most likely, the Pelicans gonna win this one. That’s just my two cents, worth even less than a handful of chicken feed.
Key Takeaways for Hornets vs Pelicans
- The Pelicans are heavy favorites to win the game
- The Hornets are on a five-game losing streak
- The Pelicans have been playing well since the All-Star break

Anyway, that’s all I got to say about them Hornets and Pelicans. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens.
