new fan... 

Post#1 » by Prokorov » Sun Mar 19, 2017 8:24 pm

Hey Guys,

I've adioted the hornets as 'my team' for this year and the foreseeable future. 30+ year net fan but things have gotten beyond unbearable with Lin fans taking over. Displaced NJ native in bston so i have league pass. always been an MKG fan sinc ehe is from jersey and love kemba too.

anyhow wanted to say hi... not super famriliar with the hornets other then watching batum destroy us every year.

hopefully you can make some noise and go on a late run this year. ill be rooting for you.

Not sure why you want to subject yourself to more punishment, besides the Nets the Hornets also have one of the bleakest futures, mediocre and boring nows, and nothing's really changed in 13 years since we came back into the league :D

But welcome aboard!

Well we don't have Lin and his crazy fans anymore so we've got that going for us I guess.

It's not official until you change your logo from Nets to Hornets.

You shouldn't have to abandon 30+ years of of being a fan of a team because of a couple of fans. Sorry for that im a Lin fan but i rarely even write about him on the forum maybe sometimes here and there. You should reconsider your choice dude if you have been through the hardships following the team, you should be there when they rise up again.

Welcome aboard, I hope you have a cardiologist on speed dial.


I wouldn't count on a late run this year, we've dug ourselves too deep a hole, but hopefully next year brings us better health, and a revamped bench. Couple that with the expected improvements of MKG, Frank, Zeller, and the younger guys on the bench, and I think we're a better team than we were last season. Our core of Zeller/Marvin/MKG/Batum/Kemba is not an issue, and one of the best, most balanced 5-man units in the league. It's the lack of anybody behind those guys that can step in and even slightly fill in the gap in case of injury, and the fact that our second unit this hemorrhages on both ends without fail. The young min salary prospects Weber, O'Bryant, Wood, and Graham all look quite interesting.

Lol. We need all the fans we can get.

By chance do you have any friends preferably 6'2 or taller with ball handling skills who might supplant Ramon sessions?

It would be really funny if Jeremy Lin came right back here and the Lin brigade scared off this guy

I have no problem if Lin became a Hornets once again. I always like that guy, he just can't catch a break this season and I think our mods did a very good job handling some of his diehard fans when he was here.

One thing for sure, i'd never leave my favorite team just because of some player fans are annoying, lol.

Anyway, welcome Prok.
