Disposal Cameras - Nothing screams amateur photography like a disposal camera. I remember taking some to school camps and safe to say the quality of the photos was sub-par.

The Hornets are still rudderless at this point of the season after their GM skipped out to the Jazz and a new challenge, but the team was left in such good stead after being in a massive 2nd apron and debt hole the other year, that they are still flying along without any real roster changes or strategy changes to a 7-5 last 3 weeks and pushing for 6th spot in the East. The admin will run the team through the playoffs and get a fresh faced GM in for the draft and subsequent trading frenzy leading to FA.

Invasion U.S.A. - Came out of nowhere and started wrecking everything. No one was ready for this surge.

Pulp Fiction - "English, motherf***er, do you speak it?" Nonlinear, unpredictable, GMless and somehow cooler than everyone else in the room. Like Tarantino's masterpiece, this team doesn't follow the usual structure, they'll blow up their front office mid season, start an injured player on purpose and still score 140 points. The fantasy equivalent of the gimp scene: you don't fully understand what's happening but you cannot look away. Other managers try to figure out their strategy. There is no strategy. There's only vibes, Travolta dancing and a W.

The Rising Star Teacher: No GM? No problem. This class runs on vibes and raw energy - like a team without leadership still finding ways to compete. It’s chaotic, but exciting, and somehow the students keep improving without a clear voice at the top. Is it the teacher or have they been given the perfect class?

Derozan/OG/3x 1sts/2nds FOR Pascal/Clarke/Smith/2x 1sts. This all kind of seems like a mute point. Given that OG GM Craig has since jumped ship to the Jazz. Regardless, this move still carries a lot of weight in the upcoming future of the Hornets, whoever it is that eventually lands the job. Demar was and is on his way down. Probably right up there in terms of All Time 2K glitch team but this deal is a great example of turning waning talent, into 2K gold. Both extending the teams short/long term prospects while continuing to contend at a high level.

Leaving your fly down - This isn’t really a big deal unless some wanna be clown makes it a big deal. It should be handled discretely by someone that’s got your back just giving you a little signal that your zipper is down. However some people feel the need to turn it into a comedy routine which often results in inappropriate comments. Hopefully the new GM of the hornets gets a conscientious welcome and does become the butt if someone’s jokes.

Currently without a GM, it'll be interesting to see how/if the Hornets can keep the forward momentum.

Birdman (2014) – streaky, flashy, and either brilliant or chaotic depending on the night. In one continuous frame, the Hornets have adapted and brought a new dimension to their future. Without Ja, will he return, and inhibit the true representation of them, or is it the beaten down ex-hero akin to Birdman? GM Craig won't let it hold him back - too strong, too many years on the grind, and a capability to match any GM!

Charlotte has a Ja Morant problem but when he plays, they're pretty hard to beat because of the two towers they have anchoring their defense in Rudy Gobert and Bam Adebayo.

The Buff Kid- Holds the current shot-put and discus records and is way too buff for a 12 year old. He is insanely big for his age and has a comically deep voice that is often mistaken for a teacher's when the school tour goes around. Will he still be a stand out when all the other kids hit puberty?

Patrick Star - Confused but enthusiastic. Talent flashes, defensive breakdowns everywhere. Patrick is infectious. Patrick's one of the most endearing characters and loyal to the bone. The Hornets have been patient, but how long will that last. GM Craig will and always will seek the best out of his team, akin to Patrick, a positive mindset for the future. But is that enough in season 25-26?

Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani Energetic and assertive, it celebrates confidence and defiance. The theme mirrors a team standing out, taking control, and asserting dominance. defiant in the face of injuries and roster mishaps, CHarlotte continue to proudly build

Letlive: The Hornets embody the same barely contained intensity that defined Letlive at their peak. Jason Butler was never sidelined...he was everywhere, channeling chaos into performances that felt like they could collapse or explode at any moment. That same volatility defines a Hornets team led by Ja Morant, whose talent is undeniable but whose availability and unpredictability constantly put the ceiling in question. Around him, steady veterans Bam Adebayo and Pascal Siakam provide structure and grounding, much like the band’s tight, aggressive instrumentation anchoring Butler’s ferocity. When everything aligns, the Hornets feel overwhelming and dangerous. The problem, for both, has never been effort or passion, it’s sustaining control long enough to turn intensity into consistent success.

Nine of Cups: Symbolizes emotional satisfaction, wishes coming true, and enjoying life’s pleasures. A card of gratitude and fulfillment. I enjoy Craig's continual positive disposition about his team. He always believes in his Hornets and rides the ups and downs like a pro. After a grind off the court, his Hornets are finding their groove.

The Hornets at #15 are basically watching Ja Morant descend like a video game character whose stamina bar is permanently stuck in the red. One year he’s electrifying, the next he’s playing like someone unplugged his controller mid-drive.

Childhood Reference: The “No Rules” trampoline park. Chaotic, fun, slightly dangerous. Ja Morant bounces everywhere, and nobody can predict the landing. Hornets are terrifying on paper. The line for admission is as large as the line for ER. This team has the chaos energy, and weaponery to hurt you like a bunch of trampoline springs to the shin. They'll bust your ankles, bruise you with size (Bam & Siakam). Expect the body count to rise!
