Charlotte Hornets: Don’t tank, spend the bank

After three consecutive losing seasons, the Charlotte Hornets fan base has become more restless and impatient than ever before. At 11-16, Charlotte has shown little signs of picking a side between tanking or winning, making fans even more aggravated.

Which is why the Charlotte Hornets have to take the initiative here after a small sample size of games to decide to push hard for a playoff seed. (I don’t think they ever wanted to tank.) At 11-16, Charlotte has a better record than these tanking teams; Chicago, Washington, Atlanta, Cleveland- who have lost 13 of their last 14, New York, Memphis, New Orleans, and Golden State.
