The Charlotte Hornets just had one of their best offseasons in years, and for the first time in a while, there’s real excitement around the team. Fans are buzzing, and even the franchise seems more upbeat than it has in a long time.
The good news for Charlotte is that the Eastern Conference looks as open as it’s been in a long time, giving the Hornets a real shot to make some noise if things break their way.
Getting off to a strong start will matter, but staying healthy may be the biggest factor of all.
