Well, that’s it. With a loss to the Heat, the Hornets are pretty much guaranteed to miss the playoffs. Last year’s feel-good, will-only-get-better team failed to take hold of the momentum(?) they had and instead morphed into this squad of failure.
To honor this occasion, I have made a power ranking which ranks the people whose fault it is that the Hornets were so bad this year. It is now presented to you with absolutely no redactions or edits.
OFFICIAL ‘WHOSE FAULT IS IT THAT THE HORNETS WERE CRAP THIS YEAR’ POWER RANKINGS:
1. Lance Stephenson (just total unfiltered sewage)
2. Michael Jordan (thought #1 there would put his team over the top)
3. Rich Cho (abandoned tanking plan too early with not enough pieces)
4. Kemba Walker (this type of point guard never wins anything)
5. Steve Clifford (why not)
6. Gary Neal (I hate you so much)
7. Marvin Williams (was a poor Josh McRoberts replacement)
8. The People of North Carolina (come on they have new/retro colors, why don’t you go to the games?)
9. P.J. Hairston (low-key really sucked this year)
[POWER GAP]
200. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (sort of a bust but the least of the Hornets’ problems)
201. Gerald Henderson (Kobe-lite can do no wrong)
