We just lost any chance we had at getting Curry to come home

I thought him winning would lessen the chance, but it could very well work in our favor. Dubs fans can't be mad with him if he leaves now that he has brought them a chip. His heart is in charlotte, his home is in charlotte, his family is in charlotte... Dell's role within the team has just expanded. I don't think it's coincidence. I feel like he will come home as soon as he hits FA.

I love how in a year when LeBron James left a winning franchise in Miami to go back to Cleveland and the finals feature two franchises that haven't won anything in 40 years that it's somehow completely ridiculous for Curry to come to Charlotte in 2017.

We are coming off a 33-49 season, have no stars, and are capped out with management that can't draft worth a lick going nowhere fast. Tell me again why as fans we shouldnt be looking for every glimmer of hope for maybe being a good basketball team at some point?

He needs to stay there. They could potentially be the next "Spurs" if their players stay unselfish come contract time.

​Nope. They have no big man and most of their shots are chucks. They seems more like the 2000s Mavericks/Suns than the Spurs. Plus the Spurs focus on ball movement, Golden State focuses on man movement in their offense.

Everything fell into place for the warriors to win it. Won't be that easy next time. 

Drafting a superstar these days is tough and this city gets no love from the lottery. Free agency is the way to go for the Hornets. 

Hopefully the parents/grandparents as well as friends, family and the Hornets organization can convince the guy come free agency or work on a trade. 

It can happen.

Your salty tears are delicious. Can't decide if I should drink them neat or on the rocks. 

Youve been hating all year and still can't help yourself.

​Am I wrong? Spurs move the ball to get defenses out of position and in recover moments where people are wide open. Warriors are busy with floppy sets, down screens, dribble handoffs, etc. they are about man movement, and they have no Duncan. They are no Spurs.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
