Would love to see Jones and Thor some minutes tonight, but I doubt it happens though. JB will probably just play Hayward, Oubre, Bridges, and Washington more.

This team has a serious case of the yips. No one has been able to shoot and it’s looking like a 5 game losing streak because of it.

[OldNorthPowell]

Hornets proving they should have put the pro teams in Raleigh. Winning comes natural for this city. Just saying. Carolinas as a whole has to root for teams cursed to be bad the vast majority of the time. Why? Because Charlotte, that's why. 

[MechaZain]

why is vernon carey on the team

So my expectations have gone way down over the past 2 weeks.. and just last night i came to terms with it all.. [tbh, i had to because my mental state was starting to resemble Sundays after a Panthers loss]

anyways, I was originally thinking we could possible get into the Top 6 and maybe win a series.. "Let's trade for Turner to put us over the top!!" - I would say..

but it's obvious now that we aren't 1 piece away.. we are still too young to really compete against good defensive teams and when it gets into games that really matter - aka - playoff atmosphere.. still need to grow

but the future is bright and i am comfortable with that.. for now

We need to do 2 things before anything else. 1. Trade Gordon for an expiring contract, it is clear he is grossly overpaid to contribute what he does. 2. Trade PJ for a big man, his production can be replaced easily.

Bulls tomorrow. Don't expect things to get better anytime soon. Meanwhile James Borrego sounds like Ron Rivera and Matt Rhule passing blame and preaching trusting the process.

there is like is a 15% trade kicker in Hayward's deal.. meaning - if we trade him - we have to pay a 15% bonus.. so i doubt Jordan wants to send Hayward out for an expiring contract..

What a dumbass contract!  I know we wanted to get a star, but this guy has never played a whole season.
