Long time hornets fan who is growing tired of MJ and his regime. The hornets have taken a massive step back from even last year and this is far from just losing Miles. Team just seems entirely lifeless so often. I reserved judgement on the Clifford hire but i had a bad feeling and it already seems like another blunder. Why is Mason even still playing massive minutes? Get rid of him now. This team is desperate to develop young guys like Mark. Cant even express how frustrating this franchise continues to be.

I hate to be so cynical about the Hornets but we have been irrelevant for a long time now.  Outside of getting the #1 pick in the lottery or an absolute steal in a trade we aren’t going to win big here.  I don’t like the coach either.  We are just a meh franchise and it won’t change without a miracle

Mark Williams with a whopping 60 seconds of playing time last night in a loss against the Pistons. Put Clifford out to pasture already.

I haven't watched a game in a couple of weeks, but Cliff was rotating the young bigs, giving each of the three a few games to develop/play before moving to the next. Honestly, he should be playing Richards, Williams, and Jones every game instead of Plumlee. But that's not going to happen.

They're trying to trade Plumlee, why would you bench him.

Thats the dumbest thing you could possibly do if you want to get value out of him.

Nobody is going to give up anything of value for Plumlee. But the point is that the team has 3 young bigs they need to develop and see if any of them can be a starter. They can't do that by snatching them in and out of the lineup.

What could they possibly get for him that would be worth enduring yet another lost season and not even trying to develop our younger talent in the process?

Why are we so bad this season? It can't be that Miles made this much of a difference. I thought our defense was bad last year but it seems to be worse. Borrego had this team looking way better, had the team .500 with a chance in the playoffs but was canned. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Injuries first…but a hard headed coach (we all knew this when he was rehired) who preaches defense and can’t get the team to play it.  Team has no cohesion.

Do you think if MJ knew that Clifford would be the only person that would take the job that JB still would have been fired?  Jordan is an idiot and surrounds himself for idiots.  Maybe will luck up and get the number 1 pick but I doubt it.

That is MJ's problem in a nutshell. He makes these idiotic emotional moves that kill the team time and time again. He cannot think ahead and stick to a strategy to save his life. Also, the yes men he surrounds himself with are too chicken to call him out.

I am seriously wondering if the anyone cares anymore.  The NBA is garbage,  a team like Charlotte has not chance of ever being good.  The draft is rigged and no FA is ever signing here

      I am too. Frank became completely disinterested in the HC job after the draft.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk
