Lots of teams in the East pissing away opportunities this season with the conference being so weak. 

Charlotte being one of them

The conference isn't nearly as weak as it used to be. While it lacks serious title threats outside of Cleveland, the parity between spots 3-13 is too close to call at this point.

All of those teams at some point held playoff aspirations before the season.

The difference between Boston (3) and Charlotte (8) is only four games, while the difference between Charlotte and Milwaukee (13) is only 5.5. With 29 games to go, everything is still up in the air.

And yeah, you could use that argument to justify bringing Howard in, but consider Charlotte is here without MKG and Al for long stretches, and if not for a stretch in January when everyone was injured and in the middle of a West Coast road trip, they might be in even better shape.

The biggest needs for the Hornets right now are health and an adequate MKG replacement. They (hopefully) got both over the break.

For what Houston was asking, the Dwight deal is one you make if you feel like you're one piece away from a championship. For the Hornets, their goal was always to simply get back to the playoffs and win a game, and if they can stay healthy and most importantly avoid LeBron for as long as possible, they might still be able to make things interesting.

we offered Jefferson and Hawes for Dwight - that was probably the best offer they got and they turned it down.

Jefferson hopefully can come back now and contribute. We have been playing some good ball lately (7-3) and if we continue while other teams flounder (Bulls, Heat) we can move up into the top 4-5 range. Batum should slide to the SF position with Courtney Lee starting at the SG spot.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
