Tank? OH LET'S DO IT

Kemba is out "for a while" says coach Steve Clifford. MKG taken out in OT to let LeBron lead the heat to victory. Looks like MJ isn't the dumbass I thought and is finally ready to start chasing a high draft pick. With Kemba out we will probably not even need to try to lose on purpose anyways so its a win win. Lets go!!!!!!!!

The question is, how many teams can we "out-tank?"  I am pretty sure Milwaukee and Orlando got us beat but pretty sure Boston, New York, and Cleveland will surpass our win total.

 

That leaves Philadelphia and about four teams out West (who will have much tougher schedules).

Read where big Al may need offseason ankle surgery. I think it is time for that to really start bothering him to where he needs to go ahead and have it done to be ready for next year. I also think MKG needs to have a minor setback from his injury and Kemba have a tough time getting better from his twisted ankle. MJ and Cho gave the impression they wanted to win but injuries got the best of the team. Therefore the NBA doesn't punish them for an intentional tank during the lottery drawing. All of this with the rebrand should net the Hornets a high draft pick.

Should have been the plan from day one. Cho should have drafted Noel. Noel could have recovered and worked out this year. Lose enough to get a top 3 pick plus adding in the 2 firsts owed in a great draft. Start the new Hornets era with a bang. Imagine a lineup of Kemba, PJ Hairston, Jabari Parker, Noel, big Al. Plus you'd have another 1st rd pick mixed in and cap space. I'd think about buying league pass to watch.

I was so excited when Noel fell to us.  Draft night always pisses me off.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
