Normally I would agree on Hubert.  The sick part is Bubba Cunningham gave him a new contract last offseason and is one of the most conservative ADs in sports.  
 

Feels like we suck with Hubert.  Sadly.

Oh, we're stuck with him for awhile. That championship game run probably bought him at least two more seasons after this one. He's recruiting his ass off so we'll see.

I mean, outside of our tourney run everyone owns us.

True…Dean Smith was like Tony Bennett+++ with ridiculous talent everywhere.  No wonder we ruled college basketball in the golden era for basketball.

This is just street ball these days.

Hubert says the right things. He says we take too many bad shots, settle for too many threes, too many defensive miscues, too many unforced turnovers. But what are the consequences? The starters still play 35 minutes. Why should they change if there's no consequences? Plant asses on the bench if they're not executing the way you want them to execute. It's a rarity to see a guy get yanked for gaffes. Roy and Dean did that poo all the time. You're not gonna disappear on the bench, but you're gonna get an ass chewing and get your head right.

Here is my thing with Love…if he shoots 4-28 mostly taking bad shots the other team is going to rebound the ball.  That is 24 empty trips.  I don’t know how you can win like that.

Dean used to sit guys for a half for taking 1 bad shot.  Hubert just sits and watches the game.

I know I am being a little over the top there but Caleb shoots this team to a win or completely destroys any chance for us.

Evidently Miami just owns Duke and UNC from what the announcers just said. Only two losses against UNC and one against Duke under Larranage.

I assume you mean recently.  Larranaga has been at Miami a while.  IMO, he is one of the better gametime coaches in the ACC.  Just doesn't recruit as well as some of the others.

Yeah, Larranaga is a really good Xs and Os coach but Miami has been pretty hit or miss under him because they oftentimes just don't have the necessary talent. For his career hes barely over .500 in ACC play and has missed the NCAA tourney 5 times.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      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.
