Thanks, Teeray!  It was a wild, wonderful little trip.  That being said, no one is more happy than myself that it's (pretty much) done.  It was making me a littttle insane...it's really nice to go back to a (semi) normal existence (I only say 'semi', because I fear I'm being overly complementary if I claim to have ever been completely 'normal'  ;) )

John thanks for all your hard work with getting the Hornets back, CLT will forever be indebted to you!

 

On a side note good luck to the Tigers this year, the season is just around the corner!

Remember when Jonathan Jones got hired and people thought he was going to be an upgrade over Joe Person? How mistaken we were. Both Person and Jones are absolutely awful at covering the team. You can tell that they don't really give a poo and their complete lack of apathy really shows in their articles and tweets.

I've actually seen JJ make fun of the Panthers while he was sitting in their press box watching a game. It's infuriating. I miss Steve Reed and Darin Gant.

JJ is a grade-A douchebag irl.

A little knowledge from wikipedia about our competitors.

 

 

San Francisco /ˌsæn frənˈsɪsk/, officially the City and County of San Francisco, is the leading financial and cultural center of Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area.

The only consolidated city-county in California,[11] San Francisco encompasses a land area of about 46.9 square miles (121 km2)[12] on the northern end of the San Francisco Peninsula, giving it a density of about 17,620 people per square mile (6,803 people per km2). It is the most densely settled large city (population greater than 200,000) in the state of California and the second-most densely populated major city in the United States after New York City.[13] San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California, after Los AngelesSan Diego andSan Jose, and the 14th most populous city in the United States—with a Census-estimated 2012 population of 825,863.[8] The city is also the financial and cultural hub of the larger San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland metropolitan area, with a population of 8.4 million.

 

and now Charlotte

 

 

Charlotte /ˈʃɑrlət/ is the largest city in the U.S. state of North Carolina and the seat of Mecklenburg County. In 2012, the estimated population of Charlotte according to theU.S. Census Bureau was 775,202,[5] making it the 17th largest city in the United States based on population. The Charlotte metropolitan area ranks 23rd largest in the US and had a 2012 population of 2,296,569.[6] The Charlotte metropolitan area is part of a sixteen-county market region or combined statistical area with a 2011 U.S. Census population estimate of 2,442,564.[7] Residents of Charlotte are referred to as "Charlotteans". Charlotte is considered a "Gam­ma+ world city".

The city is a major U.S. financial center, the second largest financial center by assets following New York City.[8] Bank of America and the East Coast operations of Wells Fargo are headquartered in the city. Charlotte is also home of the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League, the Charlotte Bobcats of the National Basketball Association, the NASCAR Hall of FameCarowinds amusement park, and theU.S. National Whitewater Center.

Nicknamed the Queen City, Charlotte and its resident county are named in honor ofCharlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who had become queen consort of Great Britain the year before the city's founding. A second nickname derives from the American Revolutionary War, when British commander General Cornwallis occupied the city but was driven out by hostile residents, prompting him to write that Charlotte was "a hornet's nest of rebellion", leading to the nickname The Hornet's Nest.

So that's where the Hornets came from, did not know that.

You learn something new every day.

And contrary to popular belief of those that transplant here, the crescent above the Palmetto tree on the SC state flag is not the moon but rather a gorget dating back to the uniform worn by the 2nd SC Regiment. At least that is my stance on the matter. Some argue that the way the crescent is facing on the current flag is meant to symbolize a moon.

Either way, suck it Dameshek.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
