Horntes on TNT tointe

But c'mon, with a roster of 12 you've either got a couple of "fan favorite" nobodies or you've got a legit team that can compete. Other folks refer to the FA signing issues as the team being unwilling to field a winner, tho they seem to have gotten better each year for the last 5. More wins = less fans? Maybe you're on to something with this fan favorite thing. Maybe the new Charlotte team could get Dell Curry and Mugsy Bogues to play. Suit up Kurt Rambis and Larry Johnson, too.

 

Fans love Rudy. Unfortunately, Rudy usually gets his ass kicked and has his underwear hung on the school flag pole.

 

the charlotte situation was a situation where the ownership did not do all it could to put the best team on the floor even when the attendance records were being broken, a situation where bad luck occurred (LJ back injury, phills death, coleman), some questionable character flaws in a tight-vested community (this is the bible belt, after all), lieing about negotiations with other cities, whoring out the team, and spitting on the fans who supported the franchise for a good 12 out of the 14 seasons of the franchise. all these ingredients==fan apathy and bad blood.
