NBA Memo to Hornets Leaked


Blu Cat

Recommended Posts

As someone who has had to watch Gerald Henderson for years I can appreciate this letter.

And before the Hendo crowd jumps all over me for that, he has been playing that way since he got here year's ago and hasn't changed, which makes him the poster child for the Hornets lack of long range shooting, even when he has teammates that are somehow worse..

Hey, the only way to watch the Hornets this year is to laugh, cry, or make corny jokes. I choose the latter.

The 3 point concept has always been something that has been lost on the new iteration of the Charlotte franchise. From not being able to shoot it, to not ever defending it. Bulls started the game 11-14 from 3 in the first 15 minutes. Then the Jazz go 12-15 from 3 in the first half. I've never seen that happen in one game, let alone back to back games.

Allowing 23-29 from 3 should force some adjustments. Hell, Diop couldn't even go 23-29 on layups, and we allow this from 3 in a competitive game.

To have two long time franchises set records for 3 point makes to start the game, the league felt they had to step in and let them know about this concept.

It is interesting that we have lacked the ability to score consistently from behind the arc since Emeka Okafor's first photo with a Bobcats cap.

 

Like, I love Seinfeld, but If I watched it every year for 12 straight years, watching the same material, the jokes would eventually get...

 

...actually they would still be hilarious...bad example...

    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers
    • How would you have taken the guy who was picked ahead of us? That makes no sense.
    • I am not denying that things were said. That wasn’t my point. But carry on this will go nowhere.    Oh snap, the post calling him a liar was like three posts before you jumped in.  what do you get, a post a page?
