All NBA and Charlotte Hornets fans have expectations for their favorite team. For a majority of fans, their team is at least competitive enough to fight for a playoff spot.
This upcoming year is unlike recent seasons because of the copious amount of teams that are good enough to make the playoffs. However, because only eight teams in each conference qualify for the postseason, the suspense of being a fan intensifies.
This playoff race is perceived by most people not to include the Charlotte Hornets and appears rightfully so. This does not mean that the upcoming year is a waste or to decimate all expectations since a playoff appearance is unlikely.
