    Welcome, NC
    I used to go to about 20 Hornets games a year. That whole experience with them leaving just left a bad taste in my mouth. Or maybe the bad taste was the $5 beer. Still not as bad as the $7 beer at the Panthers games. Even then though, I never watched them on TV.

    Playoffs are a long way off. Maybe if they're still doing well when the playoffs get close, I'll check out a few games.

    Don't think I mentioned him being a bust or anything about his career, just talking about his current situation. He may very well end up doing something, and I surely hope that he does as long as he plays for the Bobcats. I just would have thought he would have done "a little more" than he has to this point, being the lottery pick and all. Right now, our 2nd round(40th pick) is doing way better than Henderson.

    Taj Gibson may not exactly be a BIG man, but is doing pretty damn good, he would have been nice to have at the PF, or hell Blair would have been a steal(but had health concerns), or Ellington as a pure shooting guard.

    I think the Bobcats front office just have gone with the homer picks too often with the ACC players whether from Duke or UNC.

    Electric atmosphere last night at the Arena, hopefully they do well on this road trip coming up.

    Yeah, I was going to let that slide but let's call a spade a spade. Their 'homer' picks have been 3 to 1 Tarholes. Picking a Duke player in Charlotte is hardly a 'homer' pick, I wonder if Henderson still gets booed at home or if that was just at the beginning of the season.

    If you notice, I said Duke or UNC. So glad you were going to let something slide that I pointed out.

    You suggested a UNC player would have been better in the same post that you accused them of taking homer picks for drafting Henderson....

    I also pointed out about previous homer picks that were from Duke and UNC, how hard is that for you to understand? Don't think I just said Henderson. I suggested players that have performed better than Henderson that were drafted after him since you stated there weren't any better options, guess what, some of the ones I mentioned weren't in the ACC.

    See, you want to look at this as an attack on a Duke player instead of what it actually happens to be. But I am also guessing that's why you are defending Henderson as well.

    I read what you said and it was ridiculous. I was going to let it slide anyway.
