We have a BRUTAL front loaded schedule with 4 road trips and our 2 West Coast trips.. we already took our 1st WC trip and that didn't go great, to say the least.. these next 2 mini-trips are down the East Coast and in the Midwest.. then we quickly pack it up and ship it out West again..

if we are hovering around .500 by Christmas - I will view it as a huge win.. Then we have the rest of the calendar to feast at home, a lot.. we won't have more than 2 consecutive away games until April..

if we win tomorrow - we will be exactly at .500

I said that before we got hit with Covid.. Wow.. that's great - but now the expectations in the 2nd half are increased.. no more moral victories - I want W's and to hop into the top 4-6 seed

let's go..

a good look at how the rest of the schedule shapes up...and it's good.

https://www.atthehive.com/2021/12/25/22853813/charlotte-hornets-schedule-have-positioned-themselves-well-for-the-rest-of-the-season?utm_campaign=atthehive&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

 

We’ve talked about the Charlotte Hornets schedule a few times in this space already, and we’re going to do it one more time now that we’ve hit the turning point. The Hornets just wrapped up their longest road trip of the season, a six game gauntlet meandering through the valleys and mountains of the Western Conference. They capped it off with a win in Denver over the reigning MVP and the Denver Nuggets. They got to ride those good times all the way home and are now in the middle of three days of rest in Charlotte. The respite must be nice.

The Hornets sit 17-17 at this juncture. On the surface, that doesn’t inspire much reaction. It’s literally as mediocre as it gets. But the Hornets have done very well to get there. The Hornets have played 34 games now. Despite being at the tail end of a period where they only played one game in six days, there is still only one team in the NBA that has played more games—the Milwaukee Bucks. 22 of those 34 games have been away from the friendly confines of Spectrum Center. No other team in the league has played more than 20 road games. 12 of those 22 road games have been against the Western Conference, where the Hornets have struggled historically. On the other side of that, no team has played as few home games as the Hornets.

With all that out of the way, the Hornets are positioned to make a post-Christmas run. They only have three road games left against the Western Conference. Those games are at the Timberwolves, Thunder, and Pelicans. None of those are west of the central time zone and none of those are particularly good basketball teams. The Hornets last 48 games favor a 29-19 home-road split and there will be plenty of days of rest scattered throughou

It’s not only the travel schedule that favors the Hornets going forward. They face the fourth easiest schedule the rest of the way based on current win percentages. They have 11 games left against the bottom five teams in the league.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
