Even with the holiday season upon us, things haven’t been very jolly around the Charlotte Hornets lately.
Injuries and unflattering losses are piling up, which is a recipe for turning off a fan base already starving for a winner. And as usual, the mounting frustration leads to a bevy of questions.
In this latest Hornets mailbag, we dive into reader queries about Brandon Miller, LaMelo Ball, Mark Williams, whether it’s already a lost season in Charlotte, and more.
It’s too early to say if it will be a lost season. But we’re getting to that point where we’re very close. The litany of injuries already has the Hornets 13 games below .500 going into this weekend’s action. No one — repeat no one, not even the biggest detractors of the Hornets — thought they would be in this situation and be this bad this quickly. But for those who follow the organization closely, it only seemed like a matter of time. Despite all the positivity coming to the preseason about the Hornets’ health, it’s still much of the same and interest is waning rapidly. The Hornets have to get it turned around immediately. Or yes, they will extend the NBA’s longest playoff drought.
