Charlotte Hornets have been dazzling, and it’s not just a tease

The Charlotte Hornets are 6-1?!

It seems like an exaggeration, much like Kemba Walker’s “official” height (also 6-1, wink wink).

 How much fun can the Charlotte Hornets’ season be with the way Kemba Walker and his teammates are playing? Super-fun, Walker says.

The Hornets are good, sure. But right now they are tied for the best record in the NBA’s Eastern Conference with Cleveland. Is it time to recalibrate our expectations? Are they really this good?

The answer to those two questions is a qualified “yes” – with the qualification being that Kemba Walker stays healthy and stays at the dazzling level of play he has ascended to right now.

And he just might. Walker was robbed of an NBA All-Star Game berth last season, but that’s not going to happen again. Too many people are noticing.

All right, so let’s think bigger...

here I thought this was an actual decent post until I realize its a cut and paste job from the charlotte observer. link in one of the other threads would have sufficed. yes I am being an asshat because well, I wanted to.

I don't blame you, I should have used quotations. However, the lack of threads in this subforum was the reason I started this one.

    • Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.  
    • I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football
    • I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
