Hornets 23-24

That article lists several teams that they figure would give up a lot of draft picks

Seems too much to me also, but I don't give a rats ass about the NBA, so I just take them at their word

 

Playing the Bucks again tonight and the Hornets are down only 19 at the half as opposed to 32 a couple nights ago.
I notice that Richards , the Hornets' center has no rebounds in 15 minutes of first half play.

 

didn't even notice okc waived poku and the hornets signed him. probably doesn't say a lot for his future.

 

This team scores less than an Antifa member.

 

It's telling when you get and influx of new players that seem to play good together when the get here, but the longer they are together as a team the worse they become. To me that has to squarely and 100% reflect on the coaching staff. The offense and the defense was actually good when the new folks were in the lineup. Now the defense and the offensive flow stinks. That has pretty much been the same since Clifford has got here. I thought the former coach, James Borrego, had done a better job in his tenure.

The Hornets got beat by 12 to a team that had lost 16 in a row.
Great going squad.

 

I actually am now pulling for San Antonio, Detroit and Washington to catch them so the Hornets have better chance in lottery.

They are 4th worst record at the moment. 1-3 have same percentage I think in the draw.

By the way, the gimmick called lottery is not fair

 

I hate drafts, period. They incentivize losing no matter how much you try to randomize the top of the order.

 

The draft is about the only way the Hornets can be any good. No established pro player wants to come to Charlotte to exert himself.
