I havent been this excited for a season since we drafted Morrison.

That did not end well.

In before Graham/Rozier drop 63 combined points against Cleveland's crappy guards and we think we are a playoff lock

Super pumped...and after seeing that injury report for CLE I put in a humble wager on -2 for the good guys.

Also...are we doing that record prediction thread for the 2020-2021 season before our first game? I think that's been a thing before every season starts and is fun to do.

Season opener. I guess the question is: which team is worse? Cleveland has a man named Darius Garland as starting point guard, and I can honestly say I never heard of him before.

Well I’m back and even decided to get streaming so I can watch every game (or at least catch them on replay). Hope they can win the opener. I expect the team to look like a hot mess early season while players gel and youth struggles, but there is a lot of talent to watch develop. HORNETS, LET’S GO!
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Let's go boys!!! One more hour. Feels like we've been waiting for an eternity.

Also just to have it on record. My prediction for the 2020-2021 season: 36-36. We might not make the playoffs because we will crumble during the play-in...but hopefully we get there and then hopefully I'm proven wrong so we can lose in 5 games in the first round to MIA...again. Let's get it.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
