I can't believe how spoiled our fan base has gotten in one off season. We went from expecting 20-25 point loses (didthebobcatswinlastnight.com) to expecting to go 88-0. Chill out for a minute and look at what we have done so far.

In all 3 games, we have had a shot at the end to win the game or force OT. In game 1 we rallied from 24 down. In game 2 we took possibly the best team built to beat us down to the wire. Oh by the way Memphis is 4-0 and winning convincingly over other teams.

In game 3, we just continued our sloppy shooting. Our biggest problem right now is our shooting %. When those shots start to fall, teams will have a tougher time colapsing on Al and floor space will be much improved. Lanes will open up for Kemba and Lance. The world will be a better place.

I don't think it's inappropriate to be upset at the end of a close game. Hornets will be fine. Also just because someone is upset with a play call or someone's play one game doesn't mean they are turning on them. Did Clifford turn on lance after game two? No, he just expects more and knows lance isn't playing his best.

Yeah, I have to agree, the expectations are a complete 180 from the Bobcats days...

 

That being said, we had a HUGE offseason.  Signing Lance, Marvin, Roberts, extending Kemba, and having the best draft we have ever had in terms of potential and fit for needs.  So, obviously, expectations are that we're a much better team than last seasons.  And we are...  but, patience grasshoppers.  I even have to remind myself.

 

And look at it like this...  Those record-setting horrible teams, like the one during the shortened season, started out hot as fire and then didn't win for like 18 games, lol.

 

The thing with close losses is that there was a play here or there that you can pin them on and say, "If that didn't happen, we win."  So, it's frustrating...  And the other thing with these early games is that we've only seen our Big Three play like they should together for like a grand total of 5 minutes gametime total.  We know we're better, but again, we have to give them time to mesh.

It's frustrating to see us repeatedly settle for jumpers and watch them miss. The reality, though, is we only have one player built to operate in the paint. Maxiell is hot garbage, and Biz doesn't play (he's even more inept offensively than Maxiell). If we don't start hitting jumpers, it may not get better.

Just win tonight!!!!!!!

Mr. 12 million a year better show up tonight.

Plz stop with this crap. I get that you don't like the deal, but you and SuperJ hijacking every GameDay thread to update every time Kemba misses a shot or turns the ball over or doesn't make a game winning shot is already tiring and it is only been 3 games.

We can all now just assume you don't like the extension and you think Kemba sucks.

You bring a lot to the Hornets forum so I appreciate your input, but reading nothing but hyper critical posts about Kemba is getting annoying.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
