Shocking!

You're a teenager living in Texas. You know nothing of the Charlotte Hornets. Hell, I'm 34 & I barely remember.

I actually play basketball and i am a student of the game, I would like to work in sports when I'm older so I know a lot about the history of the NBA, especially for one of my home teams. Also I was born in North Carolina and lived there up until 2 years ago, and will be moving back there after next year to attend unc chapel hill.

You were what, 5 when the Hornets left? You weren't even born when the Hornets were last popular. Just stop.

You're 34 and you barely remember 2002?

Why are you even here? Quit shitting up the forum, this guy can post whatever he wants.

 

Take your own advice, numb nuts.

Yeah, I remember 2002. The Hornets were as irrelevant as the Bobcats. Nobody cared when they left. When they were relevant and the Hornets everyone is taking about? That was '88 to '96 or so. Yeah, I remember that as a kid but barely.

Hornets were IT when I was little. They were loved in the 80s & early 90s. But once the Panthers came along & made the NFCCG their 2nd season & Shinn's antics began surfacing nobody gave a poo about the Hornets.

Hell I'm only 21 and I remember going to the coliseum to see Baron Davis, David Wesley, P.J. Brown, Jamal Mashburn, and Elden Campbell.

  

Yeah, so do I. Nobody gave a poo about those teams. Baron was a super exciting player back then but the team's popularity was plummeting & the city bad mother them right out of town.

Muggsy, LJ, Zo years are what everyone is taking about. That poo was over 20 years ago.

34 years old and spends his days creating endless accounts on a message board where he isn't wanted.

 

Makes sense now.

You spend all day trolling this board for arguments.

That malaise in the fan base was really only the last year at the most.

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
