We want the Monk, Gotta have that Monk

Eight points, four assists on 3-6 shooting in 14 minutes for the Hornets tonight against the Raptors. He's our most electrifying player.

It's like if the NFL made teams use two QBs every game, and we had Jake (Kemba), Chris Weinke (MCW) and Cam (Monk) and Weinke got 4/5 of the backup minutes. MCW is fuging beyond trash and contributes literally nothing the same way Malik does. He's a worse shooter, defender and passer.

Pretty ironic that we thought we were getting a steal with Monk when the guy that most thought we would "settle" with in Donovan Mitchell already looks like a star

I would have been pissed passing on Monk and you have to remember that Mitchell would look a lot different on our team. He might be in a similar position as Monk. 

What upsets me about the Hornets is that the organization doesnt realize when and how to tank. 

This would be a perfect year, with all of the injuries to play the young guys, get them experience and have a high pick. Then if MJ and the band wanted to try again with the Kemba, Howard, Nic team they could! We would just potentially add another important piece.

And just like that I am done. fuging tank it and blow it up. 

Yeah, this takes away any reason to watch for me.  They should honestly play Monk and Bacon as much as possible.  Sure the are not ready, but they will learn faster and their growing pains will result in a better draft pick.

Hornets are the Cleveland Browns of the NBA. It is sad really. We have so much basketball tradition in this area. Yet, we struggle to get even a decent team. We finally have a good draft (IMHO), and we do not play the rookies like other teams do in order for them to get real gametime experience. SMH. Cho is simply a yes man. Even if he wasn't a yes man, he has no real experience in basketball. He is simply a financial adviser and nothing more. Just a way for the team to cut corners to make a profit instead of winning or at least trying to build a winner. Rant over.

I think it will take a horrible stretch in January for the Hornets to finally realize they are inadvertently tanking. I just hope that we don't try to pull off a terrible trade and give up a pick or future flexibility. Let's just call it what it is. Our team with a hurt Batum and Cody are not very good. 

Our coaches putting MCW over Monk is not good. When Monk is in the game, we are keeping him in the corner doing nothing but waiting. He is one of the few scorers off the bench and we don't give him a chance. 

How I wish I could go back to the first 10 games of the season and get the excitement back of seeing Monk and Bacon off the bench on regular basis. That was enjoyable.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
