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..

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
