Hornets seemed to have picked up on their 2013 momentum. I really hope they continue this and clinch a playoff spot. Can't wait to see them in full strength (probably next season).
same here

Lance killed the momentum last season but the team is back playing well and I'm happy.


People bashed the Hornets for trading Gerald and Vonleh for Batum but that trade was A1. Batum is a better McRoberts who was key for the 2013 team

Al Jeff has taken a step back ever since he gave up his fried chicken, but everyone on the team seemed to have progressed/ bounced back from last year.

It's amazing what addition by subtraction can do. Lance with the Hornets and J Smith with the pistons...the alarming part is they are both on the Clippers now. lol
 
I'll cry if they maxed Batum

honestly don't even know what a good contract will be w/ the cap increase coming up

Except Josh Smith was a huge reason why Houston came back from 1-3 deficit to the Clippers in the playoffs. As soon as McHale put him into the starting lineup they started playing a lot better

Lance is starting to find his niche with the Clippers

Situations just don't work out sometimes and it works out for both parties when there's a change
 
I think Lance is better w/ a smaller role. The responsibility the Hornets wanted from him was just too much for his personality. Everybody ain't cut out to be the man
 
Re:tongue:hilly

I feel the same way

It's a catch-22..

I think if you spend as many years as an 8th seed as the 76ers did.. And can't get any further, and can't get the impact guys you need to join through FA, and the draft isn't producing the guys you want / need.

You gotta start toward the beginning and build it back up.



Where it's getting bad, is Hinkie's process has shown no improvement, in fact, the 76ers have regressed, and are even worse than they were last year. There really was no reason that they shouldn't have tried to field a more competitive team. Not a playoff team, but a team that was better than last year... Especially when they have as many as 5 first round picks. And had 16 picks in the last 3 years..

doesnt help when noel and embiid were hurt from the start

I feel like they did try this year but injuries got in the way. Wroten, Marshal, Embiid, Noel, etc...people are forgetting this is a banged up team. They also traded for Stauskas but that does not look like it is panning out.


Marshall tore his ACL in January. He was injured when they signed him.

They drafted Noel who was injured when they drafted him...Which is fine.

But then the next season they drafted Embiid who was already injured, and would miss the season. Then allowed him to completely **** around, and screw over his recovery and contributing to missing his second season.

Tony Wroten isn't making that much of an impact on this team, if any at all. He looked okay simply because it's a 48 minute game, and somebody had to score occasionally.

They only traded for Nik Stauskas because it allowed them to get rid of veterans.. Like Carl Landry. Then trade for Gerald Wallace just to cut him.

They were not trying to win a damn thing this season.


They still have plenty of time to turn it around. But the regress from last season, should be extremely worrying to Hinkie, ownership and eventually the players will pay just to get out of there.

Plus Lance was feelin himself coming off the season he had. Didn't look like he trained or practiced at all coming into last season

He should definitely be a complimentary role player
