Just that losing doesn't hurt it as much because of low ticket prices.



It hurts it a lot, the cheap tickets you are buying are tickets that are already sold to season ticket holders. So if these people actually wanted to attend the games when we are winning, they would have to buy the tickets from the Hornets. Also winning allows the bandwagon fans to attend the games also which New Orleans have a lot of.

Not winning actually helps attendance because ticket prices will drop bro


dude WTF

you want the 10000 people who bought season tickets to stay interested, not have them dumping their tickets on the market therefore making tickets "cheap"

This has been done.

no i meant "blow up" around a healthy chandler, west, and cp3 (which we had after that playoff run)

I'm thinking get lucky with Minny's pick and maybe make a move to better the PG spot, and this team could be legit.

kaman and landry are likely going after this year. they're just contracts at this point

Let's see, we can either have one of the worst teams in the entire NBA and have to add multiple pieces....OR, we could be a playoff team with solid players built around the best young SG in the league WITH a top 5 lottery pick already in our pocket. I'll take the latter please.

you really think we're going to rebulid around kaman, landry, and jack?

Some of these people here just dont get it. They like winning 40-50 games a year and losing in the first round of the playoffs for some reason.

They are thinking we are going to win it all after beating a decent grizzlies team twice without their starting center.

It isn't about not getting it. But when you drive from br to nola 30 times a year for a game you don't want to suck. If you are buying season tickets you don't go hoping to lose. It's.not worth going if thats what you want. Let's geaux hornets!!

I think the only appropriate mindset for a Hornets fan right now is to hope we win every game we play (like a fan), and cheer like hell against Minnesota for draft purposes

This can evolve as the season progresses....

I can agree with that. I just don't understand.before the season starts hoping we lose. You never know when you can have a magic season and there's.nothing worse than winning and.people screaming we.should be losing. Nothing is guranteed...have fun now

Yeah you are right... I want them to win now so you won't have a lousy ride back home after a hornets loss.

I want a contender not just a regular playoff team.

So the guy who doesn't support the team outside of catching a game here and there on tv wants us to lose. Got it

There's no need for a "real fan" pissing contest. All sides of this want the Hornets to win, the question is how much and over what time period. If you could choose between being a 5-8 seed for the next 3 years and have an aging core, or be out of the playoffs this year, be a 7 seed next year and a 3 seed the year after that and have a young core, which would you honestly choose if you hadn't already committed to tickets for this year?

I guess the good news for both sides is that I don't think Monty and Demps will tank, but I also think Demps is going to do his best to build for the future.

I can understand the future point. But my thing is people will complain if we win this year and say we are a 5 seed.
I would love great picks...but people bust in draft no matter how good it looks...it happens.its no gurantee that they are going to makr is a yearly 1 seed like people cheering for us to lose think. My point enjoy the year if we are winning.but people will as they sit back and think the people who are going to the game don't understand their superb intellect
