This season, the Hornets are achieving a completely unprecedented performance: Charlotte is balanced in more than a host of statistical categories. They have 12 games left to play this season but we really want to bet on a 41-41 record.
You know, sometimes they say a team is average, not strong, but not bad either. Well, the Hornets took us literally and they’re having a completely WTF season. As of this writing, Charlotte has a track record of 35 wins for 35 losses, 50/50 in short. It’s already original, but the Hornets also have a balanced record at home (17 wins and 17 losses) just like outside (18-18), against teams from the Eastern Conference (22-22) or against teams from the Western Conference (13-13). More neutral, it is impossible. It makes you wonder if Clint Capela and Tabo Sefolosha (we let you guess their nationality) did not carry out a hostile takeover in order to take over the management of the franchise. No but seriously, guys don’t want to offend anyone, so much so that on average the Hornets are scoring 114.9 points per game and conceding 114.8… Well, they’re doing it on purpose, it’s not possible otherwise. They have 12 games left to play this season, it is possible that they won only 6 which would bring their record to 41-41, the most total neutrality. In that case, the Young Boys of Charlotte could rank between ninth and tenth place, leading them to participate in the play-in and play… two games. Do you see where we are coming from?
We have no equivalent in the entire history of the NBA, and if the Hornets achieve the feat of finishing in balance in so many statistics, we can still imagine that they want to win the most games. possible. This season, the Hornets are the second-best offense in the League, and since it has to be balanced, they are also the second-worst defense in the NBA. We hope for them that with such a great season, the North Carolina Hornets can host Playoff games in their Spectrum Center, the… fifteenth largest room in the NBA. No, but that’s too much! With such a specialty, one wonders if Charlotte is not trying to change sponsor: Lendingtree is good, but Rolex would be better, wouldn’t it? Plus, the logo would work well with the Hornets blue.
The Hornets are having a truly WTF season. Today, Charlotte is not twinned with any Swiss municipality, but with such a performance, there is no doubt that the association is made naturally. Besides, we just had some inside news: Roger Federer has decided to sign with the Hornets next season to mentor the band of young people and teach them how to be victorious. Nah, we’re kidding. Though…
