I saw my first hornets game against ATL this weekend, here are my Thoughts

Quick backstory on me:

-Was a Bulls(Jordan)/Hornets fan in the 80's and 90's, then lost interest.

-While living in Charlotte in the 2000's I followed and went to some Bobcats games, followed them loosely.

So I watched the debacle in Atlanta on Sat night. I bought my tickets about 3-4 weeks ago, right after CLT beat the Hawks. I thought it would be a good rematch based on how both teams played...I was wrong.

Here is the problem. There was ZERO game plan, no flow...I do t think I saw them call a play, and effectively run it through for a basket. Instead of a team on the court, you had 5 guys playing on their own. They would bring the ball down the court and take some kind of wild shot.

What is baffling to me (and probably you) is on paper, the Hornets look like a good team. Their problem is they don't play as a team, there is no leader, and they seriously lack discipline.

I don't know much about Clifford, except he had a good enough year last year. But I would start my blame with him. Obviously he can coached based off last years success, but he needs to find a way to remotivate the team.

Anyway, I hope they find a way to turn it around. I am not ready to jump head first back into the NBA just yet, but am hopeful the Hornets can find something to build on.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
