I would have been happy with Roy. I doubt they would have pushed him so hard here since we wouldn't have been contenders (even with him). His career path could have been totally different.

1. McInnis
2. Burleson
3. Rush
4. May
5. Diop

I don't even have to explain. These are all underachivers, who got the chance to fight for an NBA career amd failed bigtime. Sam Vincent had a crush on McInnis and started that nobody, and he responded with a play that not even earned him a vet minimum. Burleson was here cause Bernie's son was a friend of his, he got the chance and he responded with missing 30 shots in a row. Rush was the guy who was fired cause he won't practice hard enough. May was alway hurt, but when he wasn't injured he was battling with his weight and blamed his poor performence on that. I not really hate Diop, I hate his contract.

10. DeSagana Diop - Just so limited.

9. Primoz Brezec - He thought he was a lot better than he was.

8. Othella Harrington - Huffed and puffed and remonstrated with the refs but was useless.

7. Emeka Okafor - If only you had some fire in the pit of your belly.

6. Stephen Jackson - Has it all. Every skill you could ask for, but there is a reason he'll never be an All Star.

5. Adam Morrison - Not in the least bit engaging with the fans or able to deliver on any potential he might have had.

4. Jeff McInnis - Like Primoz, but more dangerous.

3. Kareem Rush - Just a massive tool.

2. Sean May - Couldn't even drop 10lbs in order to play. Idiot.

1. Larry Brown - Did a lot more harm than he did good.

#1 most hated player : Primoz - he who thought he was better than he was.
#2 most hated player: : Sean May - you convinced us to draft you, but you suck and were fat (our bad)
#3 most hated player: Ammo - C'mon son.
#4 most hated player: Jason Hart - dude... you blow
#5 most hated player: Jahidi White - for his part in us ending up with Sean May
#6 most hated player: Tamar Slay - for some reason Bernie was convinced you were the best player in the expansion draft yet you were the worst
#7 most hated player: Jeff McInnis
#8 most hated player: Kareem Rush - you're a bitch
#9 most hated player: Gana Diop - only because of your contract
#10 most hated player: Alexis - you starred for the red lobsters but you made us waste another top 20 pick!

This thread is tough because every single player I hate on the list is a result of our morons in the front office.

Can we make a thread for most missed players or top 10 worst moves or something?

"most controversial posters" lol

:crazy:

I guess Larry Brown was also at fault for the team failing to execute the final play against the Warriors. :roll:

I could have been really mean and blamed Silas for that final play breaking down, but I didn't, because the PLAYERS failed to execute the play that was called. Were they not listening to Silas during the timeout? Did they quit on him too? Or does this group have issues with listening to coaches?? Or are they just too dumb to remember?

And the majority of players you have on your list, almost all of them Larry Brown was not responsible for. The one player on the team who you do have a love affair with and is not on your list is DJ Augustin, who everyone claims it was LB that wanted him instead of the highly overrated big super stiff Brook Lopez. (who you're also in love with) Then you have Tyrus, another player you've been shooting bouquets of roses to is someone Larry helped to bring here. Throw in Larry taking us to the playoffs last season in his only full season here............how the hell can you put him number 1 on your list? :-? I don't get it.

For me the list is ultra short, because I have had many least favorites, but just a few I really hated:

#4 - Hughes - Larry's pet veteran more often than not shot us out of the lead, or managed singlehandedly to dig the hole deeper.

#3 - McInnis - for all the obvious reasons.

#2 - Ajinca - It wasn't his fault we traded a future #1 to get the opportunity to draft him. But the logic was pathetic, and we ended up taking the wrong guy (AGAIN) with that pick. Ajinca was another player Larry got a tingle for, then had to throw back onto the dead wood pile.

#1 - McMAY - From being picked ahead of Danny Grainger ( :eek1: ) to watching him take up space on our bench while carrying on as the local party animal, Sean May was the epitome of an unmotivated bum in the NBA. I know it's hard to stay in shape or keep the wheels from coming off when you've got bad knees, but don't give me crap about how you're trying to get better when you continue getting spotted night after night at the ti**y bars.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Where's Okafor? :dontknow: Actually he's been playing much better of late, Paul must have chewed him out for his soft play this season.

Tyson looking real good in Dallas, playing his role great...

Plus he played dirty, and not in a good way. Good riddance.

The funniest thing I remember about McInnis was his first game in a Bobcats uniform when he got ejected because someone forgot to turn in the correct roster. Remember that??? I remember that stretch of games because I was home sick and we won 3 games in a row heading into that MLK matinee on Monday against Milwaukee. If I remember correctly that stretch of games was also when Adam Morrison played his best ball with the Bobcats, but unfortunately against Milwaukee I remember him bricking a ton of shots and we had another one of our famous 4th quarter Bobcat collapses. Horrible ending to that game because we were playing well and had a chance at 4 straight. I also think that Milwaukee game was the day I started to become very disappointed in Okafor. He was soooo passive in the 4th quarter, I couldn't believe it because we were going for 4 straight and he let Milwaukee do anything they wanted in the paint. He should have taken over but instead he just stood there and watched.

I wish I could remember exactly what game it was that I had my favorite McMinus moment. I was watching with a bunch of my friends, all of us groaning about how awful he was and how inexplicable Vincent's decision to keep playing him was. We started rooting for injury, and then, the magic moment came: he fell down, grabbed his knee, and had to be helped off the court.

Jubilation ensued, we all took victory shots... and a quarter later he was back in the game.

Vincent is actually who tops my list, because I can't blame McInnis for taking the playing time his coach gave him. Third up is Sean May's fat ass, then Adam Morrison's hick ass, and finally Larry Brown's old ass.

In no particular order, other then the way I think them up;

Kareem Rush- we traded 2 2nds for a guy the Laker didn't want, handed him the starting 2 spot and he kept trying to hand it back.

Kevin Burelson- Ray Charles could shoot more accurate.

Sean May- another guy handed a spot, the problem was he was also handed an Old Country Buffet frequent card.

Sam Vincent- for basically odd choices. Mostly the one where Brezec was averaging 2 pts and 2 rebs as a starter, Ryan Hollins was outplaying him...but Brezec still started until he got traded.

Theron Smith/Tamar Slay- Bernie Bickerstaffs usless 2 that he managed to make everyone think would turn out better then they did.
