I wasn’t pointing you out or anyone in particular, I meant as a general feeling as people here are looking into more than necessary. We have two threads of conspiracy theories and the sky is falling after 6 games.
Unfortunately Martin is shooting 51/50/85% so far this season. 10 points on 6 shots a game with a 3:1 A:TO ratio with decent defense. That's just about all you can ask from a bench player.
You’re just mad I’m right so far. I’ll happily be wrong! I’ll take the L gladly if he has a good career in Charlotte. Meanwhile, consider chilling out its not healthy to be so worked up! Personal attacks hiding behind a keyboard must make you feel like a big man!
Only take personal attacks at the people who do it themselves, you've done it across multiple threads about Bouknight for the last 2 weeks. I'm just not willing to write off Bouknight's career as a failure after a few games, I'd obviously love to see him playing big minutes. The Hornets have earned the benefit of the doubt with this regime's development
Definitely. He’s been very good and it seems like coach loves him. But still would be surprising if he kept that up
Lost to the Cavs with Hayward and Oubre playing absolutely atrocious. Give the man some run, this is ridiculous.
Absolutely agree on this. After Jeremy Lamb was drafted, he was playing on a top OKC team -- made perfect sense why he didn't immediately get alot of playing time. Charlotte is not OKC. They'll likely be a playoff team, but we're talking a 6-8 seed and a likely first round exit. Is that worth not playing and developing your lottery pick? Charlotte's best years are ahead of them. They aren't competing for a championship this year. Just don't understand why they wouldn't give their top rookie some run, especially after the pre-season that Bouknight had.
You and others have attacked me since Day 1. I never personally attacked anyone directly (unlike you, and others like @UConnSwag11). I just said people on here clearly don't want Bouk to succeed. Never said you specifically. You called me out specifically. That is the difference. Grow. Up.
Is anyone suggesting that you should?
Yes the poster I've been going back and forth with suggested Bouknight's career was over the day he was drafted by the Hornets and that he won't get a chance to play until he leaves Charlotte. That seems like a massive overreaction to a few games of not playing
I'll ask you this one question then, do you think I'm rooting for James Bouknight to fall? You've now implied this multiple times
Warriors already sent Moody down there this year. Josh Primo went down already also, but he's 3 years younger than Bouk.
The ability to play at a fast pace is partially mindset but it’s also conditioning and integrating well with teammates on the court. James needs to understand these are expectations at the pro level for a team that wants to play like Charlotte. True, Chief wishes James and his inexperienced handlers had listen to Chief and others back in the spring, for his own good, but that’s water over the dam now.
