I hate to say it but I think the Hornets are about to get swept. It is only fitting if your a Carolina sports fan and the NBA could be more popular if it had more parity. Always big markets winning and smaller markets mediocre at best. There are exceptions but very few unlike other sporting leagues. I am not saying the NBA is responsible for it I guess but this game 1 against the Heat was called in our favor and we still are getting whooped. We have no answer for Wade, Deng, and Whiteside.

If we adjust our mindset to actual playoff basketball and show up, we will win both in Charlotte and makes the series competitive.  We were among the best teams at home in the East this season.

Tonight was indicative of our team this whole year.  We can look really good like elite-level one night, then the next get blown out by 25.

It's all Whiteside in my opinion.  I knew going into this one that we had absolutely no answer for Whiteside, and boy did they prove me right.  As weird as it may sound, I believe our only trump card is if Linsanity shows up.  Kemba looked totally lost as to what was going on today.

Well, Deng shot at 90% too. Wade is still Wade. And Winslow is fitting in nicely. Whiteside is only one piece of the puzzle... but he is a HUGE piece.

I felt like there were times the Hornets could have swayed some momentum in the game.  Yet every time they put up a decent defensive stand making the Heat throw up a shot, Whiteside would get the offensive rebound to give them another opportunity.

Shame on you Hornets organization.. Shame on you for forcing me into this position.. Shame on you for having to talk my son off the ledge by telling him the cliche that  "it's only one game.. it's best out of 7.. it doesn't matter if we lost by 1 or 100 - an L is an L.. now we need to just put this behind us and come out Wednesday prepared.."

Now he is hopeful we will come back and win the series.. I blame you Hornets..

      Would you draft a pass rusher or draft one?

      By strato · Posted

      I am not sure it should be a ‘sell out to go to the SB’ season. And hope they don’t.  At the same time I was thinking you absolutely must find out if you want to pay for Bryce or not. That means putting it on him. No protecting and trying to hide weaknesses with the run game and a super conservative calls.  So I wish they would do it and find out, win or lose, 2026. No more developing. Time to do it. Let’s see once and for all.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Montsta · Posted

      My biggest fear with Bryce Young is that he will always do just enough to stick around. He shows flashes and then drops a turd so the hopium is always there. Like his career highlight reel if you cut it up to some hype music and did a YouTube video would actually be quite good. His great plays really, really look good. But after that video you look at his yearly averages for completion percentage, yardage, touchdowns, and virtually every other metric and it is meh as fug. Like you know Bryce is gonna be 13/23 for 157 yards a touchdown and probably a pick.  I will 100% give him his flowers for his athleticism and ability to scramble outside the pocket. I haven’t seen the mythical “super processing ability” he was touted for per se, but he has shown flashes of absolutely elite awareness when it comes to scrambling. The little basketball move he does to shake defensive linemen has almost become a signature move. It’s hard to explain but you know it when you see it he stops on a dime and pivots like he is gonna hit a step back jumper and it has gotten him out of a lot of trouble.  I sincerely, truly, as a vocal Bryce HATER, hope that since we are obviously running with him next year the coaching staff actually tailors plays around his strengths. He needs to be in a pure spread IMO. His size is much less of a hindrance when he can play QB in open space. I feel like most of his highlight reel is from scrambles and play action/bootlegs.
