This is when you buy some land in the mountains that borders a river and build your own beach.

You're welcome. SkyBest is an ISP that offers fiber in some areas of Ashe and surrounding counties. I'm not sure how good they are though. Other areas offer fiber or cable as well. Then there are other areas that offer nothing and you have to get satellite internet. That would be bad unless the Starlink thing works as is being promised and it ever exits beta. With climate change, areas getting snow now might not be areas that get snow in a few years. It's crazy. I grew up an hour or so from the coast in NC and when I was a kid, we would get snow here and there, but usually after Christmas. The last 20 years or so, it's been rare for that area to get snow at all. I'll gladly take snow any day over ice though. Yeah, living where you are, I don't blame you for wanting to move. Way too many people for my tastes.

Alright. I apologize. I did misread what you had written.

Snowfall depends on the year. Boone didn't get much last year and what little they did get melted quickly as an example. Honestly, no place in the mountains of NC got much last year that I saw. If you don't want to deal with tourists, then no town in the NC mountains is for you. All of them cater to tourists in a big way. If you want land to go with a house, look in the smaller towns like Khyber53 suggested. I've seen some decently sized farms closer to the Virginia border going for less than $500000. Asheville's housing market is insane right now. I've seen old mobile homes going for $100000 or better in that area. Oh, and internet service may be an issue. Make sure you look into that too.

Did you not write: What you wrote had zero to do with wins and losses. Your first sentence was pure hero worship for Tepper with nothing to back it up except the man's financial worth. Jordan's Hornets has also been trending up the last three years whereas Tepper's Panthers are trending down.

Tepper may be the most wealthy Charlotte pro sports owner, but MJ is the most successful. Jordan is not only a billionaire, he's a cultural icon, and widely considered the greatest ever to do what made him famous. Oh yeah, Jordan has led the Hornets to grow in worth from less than 300 million to over 1.5 billion as of 2020 while his franchise was considered one of the worst in pro sports for the majority of that time.

Fair enough. I don't see how a Watson trade could be reasonable though considering the stupid trades made for rookie QBs in the last decade. RG3 was what, three first rounders? Or was it two? Then this past draft, it was 3 for the third QB. And those trades were just for potential, not a proven, young QB like Watson.

Legal issues aside, if the rumors are correct about what the Texans want for him, it pretty much puts a team in a hole to get him. What's the point of having an elite QB if you give up multiple high picks for years, your good young players, and therefore can't build a good team around him? Robby is having a terrible season and the Texans will not want him. CMC is injured again, so they probably won't want him. That leaves the likes of Moore, Chinn, Burns, and Brown for them to take away. Watson isn't worth giving up several young players.

Duh. Big Al is a huge man with those sweet, old school post moves. Watson is probably one of those guys that just jacks up 3s. Joking aside, the premise remains that if Tepper is the one pushing for a trade, then he is the same sort of impatient, meddling owner, that MJ has been in the past. Also, the trade could end up being one of the biggest mistakes in franchise history.

I don't blame the Hornets for signing Hayward. Now, overpaying him? Yeah, that is looking like a mistake.

I'm not saying they didn't have a good reason to cut him, I'm just saying the guy balling out elsewhere after being let go is something that seems to happen a lot with the Panthers. Again, we'll just have to wait and see on how that turns out.

So he's pretty much Michael Jordan when Kemba was a young player and the Hornets signed Big Al to cut short the rebuild since MJ didn't like losing. This in turn set the team back several more years and they finally seem to be on the right path.

Maybe. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

Putting Chinn at LB would probably help. He's a better LB than safety. Letting a player go that plays well elsewhere is a classic Panthers move.

This was the first game PJ missed. It was Terry's third and they said they hope to get him back during the upcoming road trip.

I'd rather see Plumlee out there than Richards. Richards sort of reminds me of a young Biz, and not someone you want on the floor much. Terry's minutes will not impact Gordon's since Terry plays the 2. Oubre will see his minutes reduced, Martin will see his minutes reduced, and Ish might loose a few. Hopefully this was just a bad game for Gordon and he gets it together. The Hornets are better with him than without.

Was a fun game until the end. I think Oubre played hero ball too much in OT and Hayward just didn't have it tonight. On the plus side, Richards had his best game ever.

OT is alright by me. It's been a mostly fun game.

Well, that inbound play sucked.

Hearing the Celtic fans out cheer the Hornet fans is sad

I don't think I've ever seen an assistant coach get a tech before in college or the NBA before.

The 5 is the only real weak link. You have Miles and PJ at the 4 with both able to switch to other positions. Plus McDaniels generally plays the 4.

That shouldn't be a flagrant.
