Bobcats ticket promotion for ATL, HOU and DET home games

the good news is that they are this bad in a shortened season.

I was looking over the starting roster and asked myself which of any of the players are in the top 15 of the NBA for their position and the only one that I could even hold my nose and say yes to was DJ Augustine....

I got tickets to Houston next week. Also, MadHatter must not understand that there is no shame in supporting your team even at their worst. At least, thats what real fans do. Lastly, I have never been a big DJ Augustin fan, but he has reallly been playing well so far this season.

I was a HUGE Hornets fan when they were here.

After watching Shinn and the NBA totally fug Charlotte, I now can't stand the NBA.

We screwed up by giving the franchise oroginally to Johnson (was a joke of an owner). Now we have Jordan running the show....and he has always been poor at business and running an organization....From hiring his buddies as coach to drafting terribly....to making trade proposals (only to back out of them when everyone tells them how stupid they are)...he has shown that he will always be a terrible owner.

The Bobcats are in a small market.....and are thus at a disadvantage. They need to do things better than the Big Boys to succeed. And, MJ has NEVER proven that he has the decision making capabilities off the court to get that done.

That's why MJ is no longer making the decisions. He's hired Rich Cho, the guy who built what we now know as the OKC Thunder.

The plan for this season is to essentially "de-toxify" the team of the bad contracts that were taken on for the playoff run of a few seasons ago and start anew. The three awful contracts I like to pinpoint are Diaw, Carroll, and the granddaddy of them all, Diop.

Until those contracts are no longer on the books, the "hope" is that we suck long enough to garner enough high, impact draft picks that we can become a young, competitive team (ala the OKC Thunder, or, if you want to make a football comparison, the Detroit Lions.) That is, essentially, the ONLY way small markets can be competitive in this NBA environment. Is it fair? No. But it's what we've got to deal with.

I think only Diaw's contract comes off of the books this year (as does Najera). Diop and Carroll are still on the books for another 2 seasons.

You might think that Cho is running the show, but I cannot believe that he wanted to draft Kemba, especially when Brandon Knight was available. That smelled of MJ falling in love with a player and putting the blinders on.

I do hope that Cho can help get this turned around and rid the team of toxic contracts.

There is hope....it is just going to be a painful journey to get there.

Come on man, if youre going to trash the Bobcats at least follow the team a little bit. Rich Cho is definitely calling the shots, he is the one who wanted Biyombo so bad that he took him at 7 over Knight. It was widely reported around draft time, here is an article if youre interested

Cho leaving his mark early on Bobcats

CHARLOTTE — Rich Cho was still general manager of the Portland Trail Blazers when he went to Spain last month to look at a player who had intrigued him on video and at a recent camp.

Cho watched the lanky Bismack Biyombo of Congo work out, had dinner with him, met with his agent and left for home convinced the Blazers had to try to move up in the draft to take the relatively obscure 18-year-old big man.

That organization turned out to be the Bobcats. After getting fired by Portland and quickly hired for the same job by Charlotte last week, Cho went into overdrive to persuade owner Michael Jordan to gamble on the athletic shot-blocker.

Cho’s hard sell led to the three-team trade that sent top scorer Stephen Jackson to Milwaukee Thursday so the Bobcats could acquire the seventh pick from Sacramento.

"He was definitely who we targeted,” Cho said of Biyombo. “All the intel we acquired we really felt that Detroit was going to take him at eight so we had to get ahead of them at seven.”

Charlotte then took another Cho favorite, Connecticut point guard Kemba Walker, two picks later in a clear sign of Cho’s immediate and strong influence within Jordan’s suddenly new-look franchise.

Edit: and another

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
