    Love Letters to the Cellar Dwellers

    A new column I wrote for Hornets247.

    With only a few games left in the season, Team Tank is watching the standings closely. It’s fun to watch the Hornets play organized, energetic basketball against good teams like Denver, but it’s hard for the Lottery-obsessed to get excited about it. Regardless of which side of the fence you’re chillin’ on, here’s a love letter to fellow cellar dwellers of the NBA. Because if we go .500 the rest of the way and these guys go .000, well that’s as good as a Tank.

    Nice article!

    I think you're right about Monty not reading the tank manual. I heard an interview with him the other day where he emphasized how important it is to finish the season strong.

    No need to win or lose or anything. If Monty and Demps really like him, they'd take him where ever. I know I would.

    Hope people haven't completely forgotten about Otto Porter though.

    Coach hard, play hard. If we lose, lose playing hard. If we win, win hard fought wins.

    Don't coach losing or put your team in a position to intentionally lose.

    PERIOD.

    Porter, Oladipo or Burke. That's all I ask.

    It's hard right now to get excited about Porter, our last memory of him was that dumpster fire of a game he played lol

    You got the Cleveland Rock n' Roll Hall of fame from Cabana's live art of wrestling show as told by Jimmy Jacobs. Well played.

    this article mentions the tank way to often. Other than that. Nice read. I can root for other teams to win, but I can't root for the Hornets to lose.

    Oh I think it is, but I'm tired of the tank being brought up. It's obvious we are not tanking or we would of let Cleveland beat us.

    I took it as a comment on others saying it even more.

    Yep. Also, I elbowed Cabana in the face at the show the next day so I win twice.

    P.S. Tell Steve Nash that he should wear Karl Malone’s ring-chasing jersey for good luck.
