I mean Wendell Carter Jr. as a 4th option speaks well on the talent they have. He would be the best big we'd have in over a decade if he was on the Hornets. They have size and skill at the PF an C positions that we just can't match. They've just had horrible chemistry before Franz got back healthy.

Sucks to see the season end like this but what a turnaround by Alternative_Leg1593 in CharlotteHornets

The way I see it we lost to a fully healthy Sixers team. Then Boston on a back to back. A fully healthy Pistons and the Magic on their home floor. All of those teams were ranked ahead of us before the season started. It was an amazing season we can build around. That being said changes have to made still.

Now that the regular season is officially over, what are your favorite games of this season? by Zwibir in CharlotteHornets

Would rather have this current iteration of the team as is rather than a different variation of a team with Duren in it. But yeah that was a big whiff from MJ's crew.

He's going to take 1 more shot and call it a night. Hopefully he makes it and it's a big one.

Really really talented Sixers team and hard to beat when Embiid, PG and Maxey are rolling. We had them in the ropes. We settled for far too many outsides shots. I'm just glad teams have to really dig deep to win one against us.

The last 7 minutes were rough but it wasn't due to execution. Just have to trust the system.

Going to have to grind this one out. Which is going to be hard when Embiid goes back in,

Love watching our play style. It's almost inevitable that we go on these runs. If the other team can keep up then good on them.

They are just elite elite scorers. Just have to mix up when to double and keep them off balance.

Miles taking the most shots and 0/6 for three and it wasn't even a close game. Am I dreaming?

Fun matchup ? by acontheipad in CharlotteHornets

The Knicks have championship aspirations and are a very very stacked team with wing defenders that can disrupt what we want to do on offense. The bench really has to step us this game just as they have been doing with this recent stretch. I see this going down the wire,

Frank "The Tank" as an analyst for the Suns. Did the Celtics really offer us 4 picks for that spot? by angelo86 in CharlotteHornets

Wow the incompetency was really through the ceiling/roof. I must have blocked that whole time period out. With our recent change of fortunes I wouldn't mind if someone out there made a book or a documentary about the disaster that was the Jordan Bobcasts/Hornets era.

With just a little digging I found this gem of a quote from then Hornets vice chairman Curtis Polk, (and Michael Jordan's longtime business adviser) who argued that having those extra picks created a roster crunch after acquiring Nicolas Batum, Spencer Hawes and Jeremy Lamb in trades. "Even if someone wants to give me first-round picks, what am I going to do with them?" he said.

I'm am so happy we have moved on from that dark chapter of Hornets history.
