Be a fan of a team with heart

Attended every game for years.  They may have heart and it's not their fault that the NBA is dead to me.  But the NBA is dead to me.  And others.

Two, three teams at best with a legit shot to win it all.

Moving the All-Star game to a seedy chithole with a similar bathroom law.

Strike two was enough.  Forever.  6 feet under.  Dead.

So let's get this Charlotte Hornets forum going! Anything to get our minds off this garbage throw away season.

Even in a loss, they are ALL IN, and they are a pleasure to watch. As a bonus, there isn't a need for a concussion protocol!

But man, that's pro basketball. There's so much better basketball played at the collegiate level here in NC that really, the pro game is really just unimportant. And so many games, not a one of them really matters.

Meh.

Once I got older than the players, I lost interest.

The bathroom law was an embarrassment to the state (where I grew up), lots of events left the area because of it.  Silver is a great commissioner, I wish the NFL had someone half as good. 

In terms of the game itself, as someone who lived in Las Vegas, count your lucky stars the NBA all star game will be nowhere near there.  Walking down the strip felt like being in a 3rd world country.  Pretty sure the city asked the NBA to never come back.  

Go Hornets!

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Good work.  As always, I share insights from my playing experience (3rd team all Pop Warner league) that is my experience and I can only assume it applies to the whole.  My dad (TE for the Gamecocks) taught me a lot--and then my experiences in college confirmed what he taught me.  There is something called "the zone" (I suppose) and it is based on your connection with the QB.  He knows you will be open, when you will be open, and he knows you will make the play.  The WR knows when the ball is going to arrive and he can even sense at the LOS when the ball is coming his way.  "Being on the same page," some call it, but it is a state of invisibility--as if nobody can stop you and the confidence and trust are overflowing.  Drop a pass, you fall out of the zone. If the QB overthrows you or misses you when you are open, the zone shrinks.  Funny thing, the Zone, and I am not sure that is what they really call it--it is what I called it. So how does a QB get in the zone with XL?  He does not get great body position and bail out the QB on bad throws.  He seems to be thinking while he is running his routes and has little awareness of where he is on the field.  The QB does not trust him.  I am not sure XL knows what the zone feels like.   Just my thoughts as I was reading this excellent post.  TY OP/TD alt.

      Damn fine points made.    No DoubT drafting a raw receiver with a young QB was the wrong decision at the time.  XL can still turn into a productive play maker.  Not sure I am counting on him, alth I am also not counting him out.

      Not gonna lie, I believe the Canes will have crank it up another notch to beat Vegas, on defense and on goals. Vegas lost 4 games in the playoffs so they can be beaten, Colorado missing key players but that’s what Canes have, a whole team of goal scoring threats and the defense just has to stop a few key players on Vegas side.
