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..

      RUMORS: Panthers schedule leak

      would love it if Vegas were Week 5 (Oct 7).  Just throwing it out there with fingers crossed

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      I believe you are correct. Everyone remembers that record setting drubbing of the Broncos but that was the highlight of their season. They have very good coaching overall and they have a ton of talent. With a better QB they could have knocked off the Chiefs IMO. We aren't even in the conversation of the Dolphins until proven otherwise. We couldn't even get in the end zone against the lowly Chicago Bears. We got shutout and blown out by the CJ Beathard led Jaguars for fugs sake. We can't even compete with bad teams let alone run up the score on them. To me if I'm being completely realistic if I'm the GM and my job is on the line and I feel like Tua is Bryce Young's ceiling I'm drafting QB in the first round next year unless he just magically has a season like Stroud did last year. That's it. I'm genuinely not trying to be abrasive about this it just gets really mind numbing eventually that we keep lowering the bar down down down down down and it's like hey it's fine to have expectations. And if you have a young QB in his prime and he isn't giving you at least prime Jake Delhomme arm talent it's time to keep looking for a QB.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      Not exactly.  They show that Jones was making the most of the opportunities he had.  I was never a fan of his, but I think that the talent level in NE last year is somehow escaping the massive negative attention it should have received.  That team was terrible - especially the talent and coaching on offense - and everyone was still afraid of the wrath of hoodie. He'll have a chance to restart his career at some point.  He was a middle of the pack QB as a rookie.  Plenty of teams out there would love to make it up to middle of the pack at QB.
