This team went from exciting to nothing but a mirage and has thoroughly pissed me off...

FWIW, I was watching The Jump yesterday, and Matt Barnes and RJ both said they think we'll beat the Pacers and raved about us, and the BPI has us at a 51% chance to win.  But, I don't think national guys saw how bad we looked down the stretch here either.  Again, I'm hoping for the best, but I was extremely discouraged by what I've seen over the last month.

They were horrible down the stretch. We almost beat the Knicks the 4th place team and then turn around and just get beat like a drum by the Pacers? The Pacers?  They were not even thinking playoffs a week ago. Just sad.  I see other NBA teams playing their whole roster, why don't the Hornets? What is the benefit of not playing certain players? I guess that's why I am not a coach.

It's disappointing but I can't be mad at this season.  LaMelo, Rozier, Bridges, McDaniels, Monk: these guys in particular found a new gear this season and have elevated Charlotte into a tough and promising squad. It's almost poetic how what's holding us back the most are the relics from Hornets past. Once we move fully past them this new era is ready to rumble with the best of them. They turned the culture around this year and set the foundation for what comes next

They've been completely gassed for awhile now so I think this is for the best. They need rest and the late lotto pick more an early playoff exit rn.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
