Horntes player talking trash about charlotte

i agree dukey- baron was always whining about charlotte even while he played here. fuck him. i cant wait till we get our team and kick NO's ass across the floor.

 

Wow. You guys are taking things a little personally, ain't ya?

The fact is, the Crowds in Charlotte were very small despite Charlotte putting out a winning team. Sure, you didn't like the owners, fine. But why are you then surprised that the players you didn't support call you on it?

Good luck with a new team. (no sarcasm) Los Angeles used to have two NFL teams and for the last like 5 years we have had none. Dunno when we'll get one, but if a thriving NFL can get a team in Los Angeles, I dunno how a semi-struggling NBA will get a team in Charlotte any time soon.

 

no we dont why do we in charlotte need to sopurt a team in charlotte then no mater what we do they will not saty in charlotte over all at the end i thinks it going to be good fro both NO and charlotte in 2year we will get a new team and then no one hear in charlotte will ever talk about the Horntes

 

i agree with dukey.

ej- the atmosphere here in clt over the last 2-3 years over the hornets has been downright disgusting. there were no mass-marketing campaigns to draw fans in, there was a lack of committment from the ownership group to try at all costs to make sure a team will plant its soil in charlotte soil, there was a lack of respect by the ownership group to the city and to its fans by lieing about not talking to other cities over relocation, there was a lack of public remorse for their lies and actions, there was a lack of logical bargaining towards the arena, there was a lack of decency in this whole fiasco- wooldridge pushed for a june referendum even though everyone and their grandma told him that it would not pass- november would've been the best chance, they lied about attendance, they lied about secret relocation meetings, they threw charlotte and its fans under the bus all across the mass media. fuck them, they can take their cajun asses and stay in that swamp down there. i agree that our city bumbled the arena issue by putting it to referendum- but its hard to come to a consensus w/ the ownership if they miss 3 meetings (2 for vacation in france of all places), offer to initially not put ANY money into the pot, and threaten the city that they will move. good riddance to those bastards- i dont hate shinn nearly as much as that little bitch wooldridge, but it makes me think that wooldridge was simply shinn's mouthpiece- shinn didnt want to get anymore negative heat on him, so he brought in wooly to do the dirty work.

all i can hope for now is a new team- and it looks like we're headed in that direction.

 

BTW you mit not belive this when the horntes woar in charlotte i was in 5games 4games in charlotte one game in Miamifor game1 post season back in 2001 and horntes won all 5 games that i want to games BTW in that Miami Horntes i was the only Horntes fan in the game

 

damn dukey- you were a true hornet fan.. it mustve been great to see us kick miami's ass in front of their wine and cheese crowd. were you at game 3 vs the heat in charlotte?? i had seats right behind the heat bench- almost got kicked out for talking shit to tim hardaway and alonzo.. and the milwaukee series was good too- damn, i miss that stuff.

 

As an outsider, what I've seen happen is Shinn getting blamed for pretty much every perceived problem with the Hornets. Everybody seemed to get pissed off when "star" players left. Well, it looks like the Hornets made out pretty well with every trade they made. Free agents that took off haven't panned out very well yet for their new teams (well, Brad Miller is pretty good, actually, but his agent got him to sign an ungaranteed contract just out of the Hornet's reach). Anyway, the team has done better each year I've been following them. And each year, the crowd is smaller and smaller. Must not have anything to do with the product as many have claimed.

Now I wasn't too interested in Shinn's personal problems. I can see how you might not like the guy for being a creep. I can understand how you might feel a bit pimped out by somebody wanting you to pay for an arena, but hey, isn't that what Charlotte is doing to get a new team to come? I mean, that's the NBA -- you want a team, you gotta have a nice arena. Everything that's happening now is what Shinn wanted for the Hornets but the city seemed to not be interested. The fans seemed to not be interested. Nobody seemed interested in making a deal with Shinn. Can't blame the guy for leaving. Hell, people wanted him gone.

 

most fan miami's woar nice i was in uper leavavl i had a Horntes Shirt on even thoue i was far from heat and Horntes bench i know both team couid hear me every time Heat player had a free throu i hi zo you suck and other player i talk to much that when the game was over i couid not talk for 6Houers
