Hmmm. I've been watching the Who?nets over the dismal last three but haven't been able to bring myself to comment. Will flog myself again this eve and see if I can muster a 'gross' or 'why, god, why?'

Him sitting out two out of every three games with ankle soreness is getting a bit silly.

This is the first time I've ever witnessed intentional tanking. Just keep giving Salaün, KJ Simpson, and Josh Green big minutes. Sprinkle in Wong, Jeffries, random dudes here and there. Sit key players with bruised buttocks.

If this ends with us getting a top 2 pick it will be well worth it. This has been some horrible basketball lately.

Well, it’s either part of the tank, or it’s a real thing. If it’s REALLY this bad, then I fear his ankle issues have truly become chronic. If THAT is the case, they’ve got much bigger problems than managing Mark Williams.

If they ever seriously try trading Melo, how hard will team’s examine him to see exactly what’s going on with his wheels?
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

a lot of season left to be tanking, which we obviously are. Will watch as much as I can stand.

This does feel unique compared to other Hornets seasons

Hard to justify the ticket prices. That’s all I’ll say.

Weird how mark can look so disengaged then randomly start pushing people around and throwing down hammers

Moose is our answer as a great 3rd center and will be great when teams go small but damn his inability to finish consistently is an issue. Still young though.
