And their facilities are supposed to be outstanding.

Good, can’t wait to hear him clamor on about “sports science” and using modern technology and state of the art systems to build a winner like he did during his stupid used car salesman introductory press conference here.

You, know it's funny, I have been thinking back to this portion of his hire a lot more the last two weeks, because I find it funny that no one in the media has called him on it.  IIRC, Tepper or Hurney made it a point to say that the hire somewhat hinged on them being able to promise Rhule he would get that sports medicine/science crap here.  And again, the more time that has gone by, it has become evident that that was just more of his con at the time.  It sounded innovative and ingenious to the teams interviewing him, and at the same time, it seems so cutting-edge that none of them would've known enough to call bullshit on it at the time...  but it wows the interviewer/teams in that process to the point that they wouldn't possibly think it's just part of his used car sales con to win them over in the moment...

And like I said, not a single peep about that bullshit since his intro.  He knew what he was doing.

So to expand on this I have heard through the grapevine that one of the first tough lessons Rhule learned was that this isn’t a college with boosters that will give you money for projects no questions asked

This is also a business and he did not realize that there would be budgets. One of the first things Rhule wanted was new carpet for the locker room and when he learned that there is a price tag he was shocked. It’s not Tepper being cheap because they got the carpet but the concept of a budget blew Rhule away and that’s probably one reason you don’t see that medicine crap.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
