To The Original Charlotte Bobcat Fans...

Well...

We're about to transition into a new era, the Hornets era. But before we do I just wanted to thank all of you guys (even the guys that want to take).

I remember a long time ago when the Bobcats first arrived in Charlotte, for the most part they were met with hostility because people couldn't forgive the previous team and their owner for taking them from the city.

The Bobcats constantly struggled to to sell merchandise, fill the stands, and win games... but through it all, there were guys on this message board that embraced the Charlotte Bobcats because they were Charlotte's basketball team. I've seen guys on this message board at games before and I've noticed how lively this board has gotten with excitement even when we were the Bobcats (i.e. our trip to the playoffs in 09-10).

The point is, we will be welcoming a lot of new fans and returning fans into our family; but for those that stuck it out for so many historically bad seasons and so many losses... I just want to say THANK YOU. Charlotte needs more fans that will stick with the team regardless of how bad or good the team is and no matter what the name on the front of the jersey reads; and you guys did that.

In closing, as the transition from the Bobcats to the Hornets continues and Charlotte basketball starts to become a house hold name again, you guys will get the gratitude of knowing that you stuck it out to see the NBA's Charlotte franchise finally succeed.

Go Hornets!!!

I've been posting on here for years lol.

 

Speaking of Bobcats, I remember editing player rankings on a game years ago so Primo Brezec would be as good as I hoped he would be lol.

 

And I still think getting rid of Okafor was a bad idea.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
