Miller is a very nice bright spot in an otherwise depressing mess.

Man we need to get Steve Clifford tf out of here asap. The Magic sent his ass packing and they're sitting at 24 wins and going toe to toe with Luka and the Mavs right now.

This can't continue.

It’s hard to even enjoy Hornets games right now. 8 minutes into the game and they’re down 20. It’s just sad. 

Cliff claims it is a talent issue. Didn't they have as much access to drafting talent as everyone else?

It is an attitude issue, none of these spoiled brats seem to give a poo about the team or playing D.

The culture is bad. A bunch of young players who don't care to play defense.

 

Miller is going to be special though. Another great game by the rookie.

I could be dead wrong about this, but based on his actions and his family, Ball could be a cancer to a young team like the Hornets. He has potential to be a superstar in the league, but I wouldn’t build my team around him. 
 

I agree with you about Miller. He is a special player who will hopefully become the face of the franchise. I’m becoming a big fan.

I hope Miller is special, because most of the other guys are trash, including Ball, who is turning into Gordon Hayward.

Mark Williams has been out 2 months because of a bruised back. Gordon Haywards softness rubbed off on the whole fuging team. These guys don't want to play

Yep, Mark Williams is good when he plays, but this soft crap is getting old. It seems that none of these guys want to be there. That is why trading Terry could go south. He seemed to be the one guy who cared enough. I was hoping he'd rub off on the others, but they couldn't bear to be burdened by it. 

Let's hope Miller takes charge of the team and is the leader we need, because Ball sure isn't going to do it. Bunch of soft ass, spoiled bitches.

Hard for me to say, but we may be better off trading Ball in the offseason. For all the swag and highlight plays, the kid can’t seem to stay healthy and appears to be part of the problem. The team really needs a complete culture makeover. No one outside of Miller and maybe Bridges appears to care about winning. JMO.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
