Hornets are a horrible horrible team. Hiring Clifford back, who was pretty bad for them anyway, just made no sense.

Nah, man. Not much you can do with the Hornets with the current roster. Best player (Ball) has played 2 of the first 16 games, and looks hurt again. Highest played player (Hayward) is ALWAYS hurt, and taking him so much cap space, and who would have been their 2nd best player (Miles Bridges) messed his bag up and isnt in the league with his legal issues.

What a waste of my season ticket money

The entire top half of the roster is hurt/gone or playing hurt. LaMelo down, DSJ down, Cody down, Hayward down, Miles down, Bouk wrist still fukked, Rozier on one leg again - shyt if the team is gonna suck, this is the year for it.

Our best and most consistent players this year are Oubre, Plumlee, and Nick Richards. Cliff been objectively better than JB so that's all that matters after Kenny fukked us. Doing more with less than Ham too lol...
Basketball gods will never give Charlotte a Top 2 pick again after they wasted #2 on Michael fukking Kidd-Gilchrist. :snoop:

Using a top pick on a fukking hustle player. My boy was sick for weeks after that pick.
MKG died before he turned 23. Probably the best wing defender since Kawhi and didn't even get a chance to get started. The pick to be mad about is Morrison over Gay and Roy:mjlol:

Because he couldn't space the floor in any conceivable way and was scared to take threes. Was only good in the dunker's spot. Shooting never improved as the league changed, and he got phased out.

Was MKG a beast on defense? Yes, but that wasn't the knock on him at that spot. I just don't think he was worth the #2 pick :hubie:

Morrison pick was a wash because dude was unconscious at Zaga :hubie:

1st Round Playoff Exits
It's wild to me how Jevon Carter has suddenly got starters minutes on a contender this season. He spent four years in college, was passed around from team to team after being drafted, and only now entering his late-20s he's getting the opportunity to play nearly 30 minutes a game, all on a team that has title aspirations.

It makes you think just how many players fall by the wayside because they're not in the right situation at the right time.
Word is he’s a gym rat. He’s always putting the work to get better

gave prime lebron 20/10 in the playoffs before he was old enough to drink and you can't take that from me :wow:

its history either way, everyone focuses on his shot like its what held the team back and not the fact Kemba and Gerald Henderson were bums on both ends. MKG is the only reason a team with Kemba, Al Jefferson, Sessions, and Josh McRoberts playing serious minutes was a top 5 defense.

Top 4
Blazers be winning games but they’re not necessarily good. They just catch a lot of luck shooting / closing games

A win is a win, 10-4 with lilliard playing only 9 games. 3 guys avg over 20 a game. shaeden sharpe is going to need to start next year though
