Lol just remember who was here when it started 

Well if we're going down that rabbit hole then most of this subforum and a majority of the fanbase would be barred from participation because they didn't want Kon Knueppel they wanted Ace Bailey or someone else. And none of this is unfolding the way it is without Kon Knueppel. Just reality.

Haha. I was at the Hornets game when Rambis hit a buzzer beater layup vs the Bulls in 1988. 
 

Which is why I don’t give a poo about a team that will be 40-42 and back their way into the play in game to lose, again. 

Well, you should probably put a hefty wager on that since you’re fairly certain that’s what’s gonna happen.

I'm sorry but if you're saying the things you are then you don't know ball or are just trolling. 

 

Differential says the hornets are the 7-8th best team in the NBA. They started the year off injured and horrible in clutch moments. They are -6 in expected record because of the above two things and have found out how to win. 

 

Coaching is absolutely not a problem at all, it's a big reason they are turning the corner and winning. 

 

12-3 over the last 15 with only one of those losses at full strength. 

+2.8 differential 

Starting lineup has the best net of any 5 man lineup in NBA history. They are favorites in 15 of the teams last 22 games. 

Their expected record is 44-38, which likely gets them the 6th seed.

This is the same guy who pretended that UNC's biggest issue is that a guy who played an entire half of basketball literally with a broken arm isn't tough enough and doesn't play hard enough. I'm not sure if he's a troll or just clueless but he's not to be taken seriously, that's for sure. LOL

They would not be favored in a series vs Detroit, Boston, New York, Cleveland, Orlando, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Houston, Denver, Minnesota, Lakers, Phoenix or Golden State.  And I could argue they wouldn't be favored in a series vs the Clippers.  That's half the league.

But that's cool that "differential" says the Hornets are "kinda good".

So you're saying this is the best starting 5 in the history of the NBA?  But expected to lose over 30% of the rest of their games.  That makes sense ....

You've still got to have a bench play 20-25 minutes a night, but by statistics, yes it's the best 5 man lineup in the NBA by net this season. 

 

 

They have games against Boston x3, NY, Minnesota, Detroit, SA, Orlando, Phx, and Miami x2 in the last 22 games. 

Projected losses vs Boston 3x, NY, Minnesota, Detroit and SA. 

That's it, that's the 7 games they are expected to lose the rest of the season. 

They are favorites against Orlando, Miami and Phoenix.

You said "HISTORY".  And now following that up by saying there are 7 scenarios where a team is better than Charlotte.

Let's just watch how the season plays out and can argue it then.  Enjoy.

I said the best 5 man in NBA history based on net, which is true. They rank 1st in the NBA for highest net by any 5 man lineup with over 100 minutes at 25.8 +next closest team is OKC .5 behind, third is Denver at 20, 5 pts behind Charlotte and OKC. 

 

Charlotte's net is so damn good that they have a better net than the 2017 death squad of the Warriors. 

 

Take that for whatever you want to take it for but everything up above is facts based on statistics.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
