We go 3 and 12. Then we are 8 and 23. Lol. Season over after 16 games.
As a Hornets fan, it feels like our season is over earlier and earlier every year. At least with the Bobcats we used to fight for the playoff seed up until march.

Its a direct result of being cheap and empty in the front office. Nothing is going to change until money is spent on infrastructure and basketball savvy people are brought in. Hornets are Oakland A's level of poverty, I'm surprised they didn't fight LaMelo on his max
I agree and disagree, we were probably going to be bad no matter what the FO did if LaMelo missed over a month. I think signing one more depth piece on a MLE type of deal we probably are closer to 7-9 but we are probably losing 70% of our games with Melo out no matter who we signed. Delon Wright or Aaron Holiday aren't keeping this team in the playoff hunt if Melo misses 15-20 games.
Same with a 3rd string center, I don't know how much having Blake Griffin or Nemias Queta is really leading us to more wins with the current state of this team. It is not as if we are losing a ton of 1-2 possession games that those type of moves would have swung the win totals.
