The core group of young guys are the most promising we've seen in many years.

In particular Brandon Miller has definitely been stepping up into the much needed role we've expected. Great to see.

Sexton bounced back in a big way from a really awful game against the Mavs too. Credit where it's due.

The unis and court are a nice experimental combo although not the easiest on the eyes. Just glad they are finally back to consistent winning basketball.

What's the reason behind the court and jerseys? Even down and out years I see Hornets gear in NYC all the time just because it's nice colors for the lids people and sneaker heads

Ehh Miller alone makes that a great draft class. Glad we didn’t make the mistake of taking Scoot, as many wanted. MJ’s final parting gift to us

I assume the court color scheme is just the NBA norm of experimenting for the sake of switching it up.

But yeah the Hornets have a great color combo and if they can actually be competitive again you'll see a lot more of their gear around the country. Here's to hoping.

Holy hell, finally picked the right guy in the lottery, but still picking the wrong guys in general.  Glad to see this team has better leadership, as we always seemed to pick the wrong guy with MJ at the helm (see his meddling and bad pick correlations).

Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too. 

 

 

As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
