Bobcats Vs Hornets, Who Wins!? Does Anyone Still Cheer Hornets?

Below is the Breakdown on the matchup between Hornets and Bobcats that has Hornets favored by -6.5 and climbing (started a -5). One of the few Bobcat wins was against the Hornets, so do they pull off the upset or are they mailing it in? Finally, I was just curious if anyone still cheers for Hornets? They are easy team to get behind because even with CP3 trade that left them without any superstars, they have been in almost every game and only lost two games by 10 or more. They also have recent games against top tier teams where they played great such as home victory over Clippers or almost winning last two games against Lakers on to lose in last 30 seconds!

New Orleans has been one of the best teams in the league to bet on while the Bobcats have been one of the worst. New Orleans doesn’t have a lot of top-end talent but they play good team basketball and they fight hard every night. This is the opposite of the Bobcats, a team that has thrown in the towel on this campaign long ago. We did take the Bobcats last night against a Boston team not known for success in back-to-backs and on its third game in three nights and Charlotte is so bad they managed to blow the cover in the fourth quarter, but this is another great opportunity to go against Charlotte. New Orleans is 5-0 against the spread in their last five games. They are 13-5 in their last 18 on the road and this team continually gets underestimated by the oddsmakers and the general public. The Bobcats got a rare win and cover against this Hornets club here in March, but overall New Orleans has covered in five of the last six meetings and seven of nine overall. The Bobcats are the most untrustworthy team in the league for bettors at home at 9-19 ATS and New Orleans has been great to backers at 18-10 ATS on the road. New Orleans is also a respectable 9-7 ATS in back-to-backs this season while the Bobcats are 6-14 ATS. New Orleans also has played well on the road against sub-.500 teams at 9-5 ATS. Most of all, New Orleans just seems hungry to finish the season strong and the Bobcats just seem to be playing out the string.

Who Dat Pat most of our fans will be cheering the Hornets tonight. You guys are better than us. If we could be you, we would. We wish our Panthers won and had a Super Bowl like your Saints too. We're in your shadow buddy. Have mercy on us.

KT, if you like the Bobcats so much; how come you stopped making game threads for them?

Apparently you don't like the Cats any more than anyone else on this board.

Hornetsfan8789 how many game threads have you made over the years? Ive made hundreds. The truth hurts, Charlotte is pulling for the Hornets tonight and we are in New Orleans shadow. How many Super Bowls we got?

Since you're so passionate, why don't you make a game thread tonight...

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
