Nobody deserved to win that game. I don't think I've ever seen two teams **** up so much to the point that it seemed like neither team wanted to win.
Sorry Lamar my main man, I beg to differ![]()
I've never seen a game quite like this, this is the game noone deserves to win![]()

oh yeah, this was a bad one as well. I do remember that Wizards game being full of horrible play in those overtimes though, mainly by the team that's in front.

I was having a laugh Lamar, as soon as you mentioned it I thought of the game with Minny.

Re: Our Rival?
I think it's going to be the Cavs. And hopefully with Wiggins and Lebron going toe to toe along with Kemba and Irving.

Re: Our Rival?
For me growing up with the Hornets I always thought us and the Miami Heat were rivals. Both teams were inaugurated in 88. We drafted Zo and traded him for Glen Rice who was drafted by them. They signed Mashburn and traded him to Charlotte sometime later. We traded Glen Rice for Eddie Jones and then traded with Miami to get Mashburn. It just seemed like every game during the 90's against them met something more than just a win. Meeting them in the first round of the playoffs in 2001 was very special. Too bad that time you only needed 3 wins to sweep a team. If we would've had another game at the Hive during that series instead of just one game, it would've been nice. That place was buzzing and everyone had broom sticks out.

Seems like eventual Heat center Rony Seikaly badmouthed Charlotte back when the Hornets were deciding who to draft in 1988 too. I forget if he refused to come work out or not.

I think that it is to early to tell. We have many potential budding rivalries. I thought that it was going to be Atlanta back when Wallace dropped those two 40 bombs on them.

Re: Our Rival?
Chad Ford is the rival, he gave Charlotte a C- for offseason grade which is just dumb
