SEASON 2 OPENER

Lets be real if the Charlotte Hornets don't pull off one of the biggest turnarounds in sports history, than Owner/GM Suntzu420 will be run out of town. Our editor and columnists agree that if the team doesn't at least compete for an Eastern Conference playoff berth ..maybe finishing 2 or 3 games behind at the most and SUNTZU doesn't have a another competitive team signed and ready to play before the OFF-SEASON is over Suntzu's career here with the Hornets' organization is definitely over"".

The Charlotte Hornets, or "Carolina" Hornets, as controversial GM Sun Tzu likes to call his basketball organization came up short in the their first NBA game of the 2018-2019 season. In Tzu's second year in command many people surrounding the team are already calling for his job. Partial Owner and former GM Michael Jordan said that this season "was make or break for Mr. Tzu." Most people in the Carolinas, expect the Hornets to either secure an Eastern Conference playoff as the only way they would continue to follow this team. Mr. Tzu exclaims that they are on the right track and while he would not guarantee an Eastern Confernece playoff Berth this season he does guarantee one for his 3rd season... as he as salways stuck to his ugns aand said this would take time. On the good side of things and in all fairness the Hornets did look much imporved and held the leaed for nearly 30 minutes of the game.... only falling apart in the final 5 minutes. Charlotte Hosts their first home gome against the Memphis Grizzlies Ocober 20th.

"Carolina" Hornets

I, SUNTZU420 Have Become the 2017-2018:

((after a lot of experimenting with the game in Season 1. I plan on sticking to the following basic rules with the only option in making the game more difficult- never easier.))

Personalized (current! -11/2018) NBA 2k18 PS3 Association Settings:

(A)During a user game, if I ever at any time am losing by more than 12 at end of first quarter, 15 or more at Halftime or more than 18 anytime in the 3rd or skunk 21 in the fourth quarter I SIM the rest of the game IMMEDIATELY.This keeps it moving for its' a long season. In this same spirit, I will also (B)SIM 1 out of every other AWAY GAME (unless on a winning streak or something...but average a SIM on 1/2 of all AWAY regular season games..users discretion which half of the away games to SIM and which to play...nothing advantageous).

Defense: No Rules until i figure the **** out better than MAY CONSIDER..increasing difficulty

Final Season 1 Record ( 17 -2018 ): 5-53. Win%.086 PPG NOT RECORDED BECAUSE GAME LENGTHS VARIED
Season 1 PD (Point Differential -15.6) Finished Last in South East Division, Eastern Conference, and held worst record in entire NBA by a long shot. If we translated this to a 82 game season 10 wins would be one of the worst records of all time and the 31 game losing streak has to be a record of some kind.

Rumor mill has on good authority that one Michael B Jordan is moving in with investors to retake the team as he has openly dogged SUNTZU for being a "thug" who does't know basketball. The HORNETS have got to respond... just speculating, but their offseason completed roster seems well built around the core 7 players SUNTZU pounded his chest about in the month before Season 1 of horrendous play turned into 5 wins and a month right at .500. Like alot of aspects to SEASON 1 I do not personally believe we will ever see such a high volume/quantity of free agent moves, contract releases, and continuous trading... down to the very last pick. At least next season we will inherit 2 more picks...and if the HORNETS Are to be anything serious..they are done wheeling and deeling and need to focus on basketball.
