Jordan should get a lot of credit for the turnaround

This is gotta be one of the quickest and mist dramatic turnarounds in basketball history...

2 years ago we were 28-120 & the laughing stock of pro sports with a terrible identity.

Now we have one of the most popular & famous identities & a team that can fight for a championship (or at least Finals birth).

 

nope.. Boston was the worst team in the league the year before they won it all with Pierce, Garrnett and Ray Allen

A lot of critics of pro sports, don't think players and owners can learn from their mistakes. Jordan made plenty of mistakes while he was with the Wizards (Brown being #1) and early on with the Hornets (Morrison comes to mind), but he is slowly improving himself by understanding his limitations and what other people bring to the table. I think, in the beginning with Bob Johnson, MJ hired a lot of "yes sir" guys and Cho was the first guy he hired who had this solid background of making smart moves... Jordan could convenience himself to a sit back and learn.

 

I love all of the changes we're making now, because the team agrees on what sort of club they want to build and are building it. I also think a lot of it has to do with the Hornets brand. This brand change is not only an opportunity for the city to embrace NBA basketball again with a fresh start, it's also a fresh start for MJ to say the bad-MJ was the Bobcats MJ. The Hornets MJ gets it.

Still would have been a failed pick since his injuries limited hours true potential

Agreed. Maybe he doesnt hurt his ankle here though. The knees still would have gone out

Mike, if you can bring multiple NBA championships to Charlotte you can hate white people all you want.

 

I just love that even after retiring he still wants to win at no matter what he does.

 

he is one of the most competetive peopel that you will ever meet....so is his brother.

I think Kemba deserves an assist with the turnaround. Without him we wouldn't have got AL and I think Kemba also played a role in Lance both being from NH and playing together some.

 

Kemba and Lance both come from New Hampshire?  What are the freaking odds?

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.

      Anthony Richardson benched

      All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
