Will the Hornets have an All-star this year?


Recommended Posts

Doubt it. Even though the Hornets have improved, I still think Cle, Mia, Chi, Was, Atl, Tor are gonna be better. Hard to get a player chosen by the coaches that isn't a superstar when you're 7th or 8th. I think best chance is probably Al to replace Hibbert if he has a bad season. But I think Horford might take that spot too.

So, you think we are going to be the 7 seed again?

No way this is a 7th or 8th seed team and Big Al deserved the all star nod last season.

If we're the seventh seed again than this season was a failure.

Personally, I think we're a five seed right now with the potential of being the second, third, or fourth seed if we get Boozer.

 

We were basically 2 games from the 5 seed last season.

You have to win the division to to get into the top four or be the next best team (i.e. probably Cleveland).

I still think Washington is currently the better team due to their experience and the favorite to win the division.

With Boozer though... look out.

 

Maybe, i dont think Pierce is an upgrade over Ariza.  

 

I really think we are better or push at all starting 5 positions.

I think we're better at the shooting guard and center position but Washington is definitely better at the power forward position and I give Wall the edge over Walker. I think a lot of our success is contingent on MKG and how he has developed.

Nonetheless, I still maintain that if we sign Boozer we will win the division.

Boozer gives us stability at all five positions and gives us some good bodies off the bench as well.

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch
