1. 1997-98: Didn't win as many games as the '96-97 team but was far better positioned to compete for a championship. This squad had what you need to win a title (sharpshooting SF as alpha-dog, bruising C and PF combo in their prime, potent scoring bench with Curry and B.J., good coaching with Cowens). Had the Bulls not been there, we'd have been facing the Jazz for all the marbles

2. 1992-93: Our only Big Three (LJ, 'Zo, Muggsy) with Kendall Gill and Curry too. This team had the most individual talent but had a weak-ass bench

3. 2015-16: Top to bottom, the second-most talented roster we've ever fielded. Kemba, Nic, Al and Lin could theoretically take over games. Cody had come into his own and as a playoff team, we were dangerous with Kemba and Lin scoring at will. Also lost a tiebreaker for the division title

4. 1996-97: Best individual season by a Hornet (Glen Rice) but got swept in the playoffs by the damn Knicks. 

5: 2000-01: Closest we've ever come to the Conference Finals with a roster of above-average guys and role players who overachieved like crazy

Have to include the Bobcats.  I would say the 2010 Bobcats crack that list.  They are my favorite Charlotte basketball roster ever.  Also my favorite Charlotte uniforms ever.

PG: Raymond Felton / DJ Augustin

SG: Stephen Jackson / Gerald Henderson

SF: Gerald Wallace 

PF: Boris Diaw / Tyrus Thomas

C: Tyson Chandler / Nazr Mohammed / Theo Ratliff

LOL that Bobcats team where Chandler didn't even play in the playoffs (and really didn't try during regular season either).   Ratliff was starting in the playoffs for us if I remember lol.

Wallace and Jack was always fun to watch though.   Looking back, if we got full effort from Tyson and Diaw that year, we would have had a nastier team.   Tyrus came on like a beast and then was terrible after the signing, so weird.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.

      Diontae Johnson had “sigh of relief” when he was traded to Ravens

      By strato · Posted

      You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
