Well, just so that you know. UNC is +24000 to win the national championship. So a $5 bet renders a $1,200 win.
So in short, I was dying to burn $5. But. If it does happen, Iāll have a great story. And use the $1,200 towards charlotte hornets season tickets for next season when our hornets team also defies all odds and wins the nba finals.
Anyways, Carolina will lose by 15 tonight.

Kids got talent. Peterson! I expect much better drafting from now on
I remember liking him pre-draft. Not saying I would have drafted him, but I liked him.
Edit:
Didnāt he hit a game winner vs Brandon in a rising star game?

Do you guys think Charles Lee has had a significant impact on Miles Bridges this year?
He did not shoot the ball as well as some other years, but, on a per (played) possession basis, heās at all time highs in points, assists, rebounds, and free throw attempts, along with shooting a fantastic free throw percentage. Getting to the line to make the easy points(free throws) is theoretically what older, smarter players learn to do. Age-wise, heās somewhere around the beginning/middle of an NBA prime. Will we see the emergence of a wiser, craftier Miles?
Thoughts?
I think Charles Lee has been good for basketball decisions generally. I think his style expects or depends on at least competent distance shooters by and large but he has guys - generally - in all the right spots to make positive impacts w/ the exception of the odd respect our centers give in drop coverage. Our issues to me seem to be a severe lack of competence and execution, and execution could be the issue w/ the drop coverage too.
There it is, we arenāt making the playoffs after all. Shoot, and all the collective well-wishing from the fan base couldnāt get us over the flagg, I mean hump.
He could be making a difference, but it could just be Miles maturing as a man and as a player. Losing a full year of basketball and dealing with his personal issues set him back pretty bad. I think we might just him becoming what he was meant to become. But Iām sure having a coach that can help him grow helps.

I havenāt watched much lately. Weāve hit the portion of the season a while ago that weāre not really learning much of anything about the team. With so many injured and guys getting minutes that probably shouldnāt be in the league, I donāt know how many conclusions or learnings there are to gather.
I do think Miles Bridges has taken a small step forward this year actually, but I didnāt want him back. I just donāt see him moving the needle much and wanted to build this year instead of watch Miles do much of the same that weāve already seen.
I mean, who on this team right now does anyone here have an active interest in watching their development?
I mean, is there any interesting project? No, thereās not. Thatās because miles bridges doing the same old thing and the waisted draft pick in Tidjane Salaun. Sure, the injuries suck. I would personally be interested in the trajectory of Tre Mann.
And duh, Brandon miller. But that goes without saying.
The funny part is that they probably drafted Salaun as a potential bridges replacement, and that looks like a (predictable) spectacular failure.
