Apparently it did no good. Getting spanked by the Wizards…again!

I've given up on them for the season and doubt I tune into another game. That BS with the kids and their Christmas wishes last week has made me really step back and take a longer look at the Hornets and NBA in general. I'd be willing to give the team a break on that and consider their excuse about a "rogue" employee being possible if they were playing well, but that's not happening.

The modern game of just chucking 3s isn't fun to watch either, especially when teams like Charlotte do it despite not having the shooters to play that style. The foul baiting and refs are another huge problem with today's NBA. The ever increasing gambling tie ins is another huge turnoff for me. The whole thing is just one giant poo sandwich and that's why ratings are down across the league.

I am all for firing Lee now and letting anyone else coach this team. 

Devils Advocate here, how many coaches are we going to burn through before putting blame where it belongs, the overpriced babies we call players. It is them who seem to not care enough to play as a team.

Team defense has probably sailed. Someone like D'Antonio could at least instill a run and gun offense that would be entertaining. Honestly the whole NBA looks like a watered down All Star game at this point. It is unwatchable.

Unwatchable is right. The players are too focused on themselves to put a good product on the court. Unless you are one of the top teams, then you just run players in and out with the same results. None of them actually seem to care about the team or game any longer. 

Jimmy Butler is an exception to this.

I get the criticism of Charles Lee to a point but we also need to discuss our GM and some of these signings like Miles Bridges. Seems like more often than not he's inconsistent at best. He's here because we were trying to appease LaMelo but I'm just over this mess. Everyone outside of LaMelo Miller Salaun and Mark Williams should be trade fodder. Blow up the rest of this poo roster.

There's not a player on the roster that I wouldn't trade if the price is right and that definitely includes Ball. His laissez faire attitude is a large part of the problem when it comes to the team and culture. And for a guy that is the highest paid member of the team by a very large margin and supposedly its leader, that's inexcusable.

I don't know you could end up being right but I'm beginning to wonder if this franchise is just snakebit or cursed. Much moreso than the Panthers. At least the Panthers have had success and been to two Super Bowl's. Other than the brief highs in the early years and the 90's this franchise has been dead in the water for so long it's wild. Going on 24 years without a playoff series win. And what's crazy is there are other small market teams that have done remarkably more in short timespans compared to us and with debatable differences in talent levels.

Idk if there's anything or anyone that can alter course for this franchise at this point. Just the honest truth.

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
