Hornets vs Trailblazers

[TylerDurden]

Kind of overlooked due to our huge Panther win today, but we've got a really good basketball team lol.

We are up on the Blazers 71 -45 at the half, everyone is passing, and everyone seems to be hitting.  Al is 9/9 with 20 points and Batum is killing with 20 points and 6 assists.  Awesome.

I like Clifford but he's mismanaged this game horribly. Stopped coaching and assumed they were waving the white flag.

Bench has been a let down. Now he's closing with Al when we need stops. Hmmmm.

Yeah, thats part of the reason we lost to chicago, Friday.

Well, they survived, but that was ugly. New York won't be a picnic next game.

Also Cho needs to be by Batum's side with a contract in hand at 12:01am on the first day of free agency. That deal looks awesome right now.

Good Sunday sweep!

Go Giants! Lol

Lamb, Batum, and Lin have been all awesome additions.

The front office appears to have finally acknowledged that:

1. Analytics work and

2. The D-League has value 

Unfortunately it took them this long to get with the times while successful teams, particularly in the West, have been operating like this for years. I just wish they were more proactive instead of reactive.

Maybe they'll figure out drafting eventually...

Pretty good game, aside from the horrible coaching. Clifford either needs to figure this out now or leave town with Jefferson.

That's another thing I accepted yesterday. Jefferson had a ton of points, but he was getting them in obnoxious ways. He is not a fit at all on this team and he needs to be traded or bought out. That would really tell me we're headed in the right direction, which I think we are.

[TheRed]

This is a talented team, no doubt about it.

Quite frankly this should be the season for Clifford to prove himself as the head coach moving forward. Time to poo or get off the pot.

If he can't get it done? Adios.

Chuck's back? Looks like I'll go back to RealGM

*looks at RealGM, remembers the cesspool it also is even when Chuck isn't there

Haha. RealGM isn't that bad, but it certainly has its flaws. The Hornets folks are way too optimistic sometimes and have followed a mediocre franchise with much more gusto than this franchise has ever deserved, particularly in the Bobcats years. I've always been more into following football over basketball so I guess it's a matter of preference, but still...

On the positive side they have the sense of humor that comes from dealing with years of mediocrity. 

The General Board is where the cesspool of hot-takers and bandwagon folks reside. They worship the uber-analytic folks like Hinkie and think he's just so far ahead of the curve despite the results, while franchises like Charlotte just trying to put a respectable product out on the floor every night are ripped as "treadmill" franchises.

I suppose most here are like me where it's Panthers 1st, Hornets 2nd depending on the type of season each is having and I like the more casual, yet knowledgeable board here. Obviously we can be really reactionary about the Hornets but at least here we all remember our QB is Cam Newton, smile and move on.

Wish there was more of a crowd in here but on a Panthers-centric board with all the headlines they're making it's understandable.

I think they're even more pessimistic and negative. That's why I don't care for RealGM either. Constant bitching and if a guy struggles once, trade him. Basically 50 Chucks with slightly better grammar.
