    25 years isn’t that long when you consider the Hornets joined the league in the 1980s. Making it to the WCF means win two playoff series which is impressive and what we did 6 years ago.

    Paul died before the season we got the 3 seed and made it to the WCF.

    nitpicking again I see

    that team was the last one that PA allowed Olshey to build. Jody didn't much to do with it at all. The only changes to the roster was Freedom signed to a vet minimum and a Stauskas for Hood trade. PA was always heavily involved with roster constructions and the drafts. Jody just harasses security guards and smuggles ivory

    12 out of 15 Western Conference teams have won a WCF game since 2000. Portland is not one of them. Memphis is in position to make that 13 out of 15. So yes, that is a long time.

    Lmao that's embarrassing af. Imagine trying to defend that lol.

    25 years is a LONG time. Especially considering that the only thing this franchise could hang onto is that we kept making the playoffs... yet during the last 25 years we lost every WCF game we've ever been in.

    Flat out embarrassing.

    And since 1999 only 11 teams of 30 have won a NBA championship.
