The Hornets have a few good wins. So did the Panthers. To say the Hornets have been dominant is nonsense. Our 9 game win streak is matched by Toronto, who sucks, San Antonio, who's done it twice to prove consistency, and behind Detroit (13) and OKC (16) who lead their conferences. One lucky streak doesn't equate to dominance, and dominance doesn't get you 9th in the conference.

Yea? Started slow, won a few games in a row, folded late in the season to back into the playoffs, and will be one and done in the playoffs. Did I miss something?

This thread has now morphed into the thread in the Panthers forum where we were rooting for the Falcons in the last weekend. Charlotte sports teams gon' Charlotte sports teams.

You're also underestimating Calipari in those scenarios. Calipari can say to a kid "I've put more impactful players into the NBA than any school over the last 20 years". Michael Malone can tout that he was run out of the NBA for not understanding impactful players. I wouldn't count any chickens yet on top recruiting classes and deep tournament runs. On a side note, can't remember where, but saw some interview where the guy was saying the NBA All Star Game should be the USA vs World vs Kentucky - and then proceeded to list the players in the league from Kentucky who would legit give an All Star team a run for their money. Pretty impressive what Cal did at Kentucky, not impressive on him not getting more nattys.

Can appreciate the stat, and that's a good record in the NBA. But the lack of consistency is still atrocious. Beat fully loaded OKC, then lose to Indiana and Toronto at home. 9 game win streak, and then get literally beaten up by Detroit at home and drop 3 of 4 home games. Beat Boston, then lose to Miami and Phoenix Beat New York, then blow huge lead to Philly, don't even look competitive vs Boston, both at home Win four in a row, then look like a WNBA team in the second half vs Boston last night. They're on the way up. But there is still a long way to go.

Lose by the fuging hook. Good news is dog stayed asleep. Haha.

The fuging Suns turned into the Charlotte Hornets in the second half.

Entertainment bet while I wait for the new pup to wake up for middle night go out routine.

Partly true. Legs get heavy and lungs stop working when you realize you're completely outclassed. This team is probably one full season of being healthy, learning how to win, and then ready to compete with a few more complimentary pieces and a true big.

And layups. Easily left 11 points on the board that last 4 minutes.

And just like that, you see the difference between a team who's taken the step, and a team who isn't ready to take that step.

For fugs sake Sion James.

LaMelo out here throwing up nonsense, one-legged runners from deep. This is the type of poo that loses games against good teams. I get that he's "feeling it", but sometimes it looks like he's not even taking this poo seriously.

Toronto is killing Miami.

Good answer by the Hornets after that 9-0 run by Boston to take the lead. Need to finish. Can not repeat Philly game performance.

If you just needed them to win, they covered you late. Goal in the 91st minute. Cost me money, but they are my team, so I'm glad they at least won.

Drafting Diego Pavia would be the equivalent of calling a Flea Flicker at the 20 yard line.

Seven North Carolina players have entered the transfer portal or announced their intentions to enter so far today: Derek Dixon (6.5 PPG) Jonathan Powell (4.8 PPG) Kyan Evans (4.0 PPG) Zayden High (3.4 PPG) Isaiah Denis (1.9 PPG) Jaydon Young (1.8 PPG) James Brown (1.2 PPG)

I think it's highly unlikely, but if we beat Boston, that locks Detroit in the 1 seed and means they could sit guys for our game vs them next. I'm guessing the Knicks will also sit guys. Need some help from Miami to end the season.

I donated $300 to my book on the AC Milan over today. On this tonight.

Dave Canales, model looks AND brains. Will never win more than 8 games with him.

Yea, you've got it a little backwards. Jokic basically started coaching the team during timeouts while Malone was there, and told the front office to boot him. I don't know what the real issue was, but there was an issue. To your point, it's a new start, so I'm not overly concerned with what went wrong in Denver. I'm more concerned with what recruiting and portal looks like with a guy who has zero knowledge of either.

I don't think Malone was the answer. I wanted Few before Hubert, and wanted Few after Hubert. That was the only good choice.

If Michael Malone has ONE inbounds play in his notebook, he's already better than Stubert.
