I’ve never seen an NFL head coach not know his team’s playoff status heading into the final week. I’ve never seen an NFL head coach come out in public kicking himself because he didn’t know the QB he drafted was actually good. That said, I’ve also never seen an NFL head coach make the playoffs with a losing record. And he did it twice. With two different franchises. /facepalm

Rivera recalled talking to his wife: "All we f---ing talked about was the quarterback, I kept saying, f--k, if I would have known this, I would have played him sooner." But he DRAFTED Howell, how the hell would he not know his capabilities? That’s basically admitting incompetence. You should be taking credit, not acting flabbergasted that you actually got something right. Also I’ve never seen Rivera blatantly cuss like that, kinda funny to be honest.

Rather snag his brother Chalupa.

Jerry Jones is their Director of Scouting Personnel

Meh, we got prime Greg Olsen from them for a 3rd rounder.

“Yo yo, thanks for watching homies…”? Chris Simms needs to evaluate Chris Simms. It’s not good.

7 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, 7 tackles for loss in 9 starts in 2021. Thrived in the 3-4 that year, struggled in the 4-3 last year. Seems like he could be a good fit.

This is exactly why Aaron Rodgers is a headline today. He *REALLY* didn’t like their OL play against us in practice yesterday. Wowzers.

I just love the fact that after one infra-squad PRACTICE between the Panthers and Jets…and the media is saying that Aaron Rodgers and the NY Jets are borderline panicking. Their OL must’ve been really bad yesterday because according to ESPN they got straight worked by our brand new 3-4 Defense. That plus everyone (both sides) raving about Bryce Young in a practice…feels good to be on this side of the hype (even if it was more about the Jets weaknesses than our strengths!)

Kai Jones is a bad man.

Wemby actually made a 4-point play tonight (highly questionable foul call against Kai IMO), and finished with 9 total points for the game. 5 points outside of that one play. And he played big/key minutes. Generational talent until the next one next year. I like the kid’s upside, but even Zion dominated instantly.

5:47 is where the Spurs GM is on camera gushing over Wemby. And then Kai Jones absolutely posterizes Wemby while the GM’s talking lol. And then right after that, Brandon Miller gets a steal and a nasty fast-break tomahawk in traffic.

Here are the highlights. Announcers obviously hyped Wemby up early-on but Miller more than held his own, probably won the head to head. His D was pretty nice on the 7-3 dude. Wemby got some highlight blocks. Highlights

Bouk is playing for his career. Going all-out to desperately make a splash. And can’t make a shot. Third year lottery pick struggling in summer league against rooks? I doubt he’s a Hornet this year. Now Kai Jones? Whole different story. He’s shining and will impact this year. We definitely have some talent on this roster.

Miller and Wemby played quite a lot head to head tonight. I liked the defense and offense for B-Mil against a 7’3 dude. One play Miller did a double crossover on Wemby, broke his ankles and Wemby fell to the floor for an easy 2. And that poster dunk from Kai on Wemby was legit. Miller: 16 pts/ 11 rbs / 5-15 shooting Wemby: 9pts / 8 rbs / 2-13 shooting Both looked like they need work but the upside is there for both 19 year olds. I like our young guy. Bouknight not so much.

And now Miller just double-crosses Wemby and breaks his ankles lol.

There are at least three Sportscenter Top-10 highlights in this game. 1.) Wemby posterized by Kai dunking on him. B-Miller with that fast-break tomahawk jam (I didn’t think he could/would dunk that, wow). And a couple of Wemby highlights. Entertaining watch for sure.

Thing about Brandon Miller too is he doesn’t just shoot a high 3P percentage, dude has RANGE. Like he takes and makes threes easily from 3-5 feet behind the 3P line. Watch his form. He shoots quick and from eye level like Steph, but is 6’9. And he plays D at multiple positions. That’s the new NBA, IMO.

Miller hit three 3’s in a row and then made some acrobatic Ja Morant-like AND-1 reverse scoop layup. Solid finish for him, embarrassing team effort. Loved seeing Justin Robinson out there, he’s a dog.

I’m pretty sure I know a lot about this topiic (more than most), Charlotte has a ton of expiring contracts and picks and can make a lot of deals work.

You guys make this board exhausting to read, that’s why I never post. Lol Brandon Ingram / Zion Williamson and #16 isn’t worth Brandon Miller and his issues. I’m a Hornets fan and I hope it works out but damn; these message board fans are worse than our front office.

Portland really wanted Scoot at #3. If Charlotte just drafts Scoot at #2, what happens? CLT preferred BM and others preferred Scoot. Obvious trade-down #2 to #3 scenario.

They just drafted the rookie you’re talking about at the same position as their star player you’re taking about. WOW! Is right.

I agree with what you say/. It’s what I also said. If you’re Charlotte and you want Miller and you have #2 and Portland wants Scoot and you can trade down to #3…it’s kinda a win-win. And Charlotte gets additional assets trading down…that’s the smart move.

Exactly. Dame’s time in Portland is over now. They had to make a huge move and CLT had the assets to make it happen. Now it’s over. But if CLT took Scoot it would have been even more in our favor. This roster needs a major rebuild, not just drafting a 19 year old.
