Alright, let’s talk about this “charlotte prediction” thing, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, but I’ll tell ya like it is, the way I see it. You know, like when you just *know* it’s gonna rain ’cause your knees start achin’. Same kinda thing, just with more basketball, I guess.
So, they got this Charlotte Hornets team. Hornets, huh? Like them buzzy things that sting ya? Well, these Hornets ain’t stingin’ much this year, from what I hear. They losin’ more than they winnin’, that’s for sure. Six wins and fourteen losses, they say. That ain’t good, no sirree. Sounds like they couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn if they were standin’ right next to it.
Then there’s them Philadelphia 76ers. Seventy-sixers? What kinda name is that? Sounds like a bunch of old fogies runnin’ around. But hey, they ain’t doin’ much better than them Hornets, are they? Four wins and fourteen losses. Humph. Both of ’em are sittin’ at the bottom of the barrel, seems like.
- Hornets got six wins, fourteen losses.
- Seventy-sixers got four wins, fourteen losses.
- Both teams playin’ in somethin’ called the “NBA Cup.” Sounds like a fancy teacup to me.
Now, they’re gonna play each other. Hornets versus Seventy-sixers. At somethin’ called the “Spectrum Center” in Charlotte. Sounds big and shiny. They say the game starts at 7:00 PM ET. That’s night time, for folks like me who don’t keep track of all them fancy time zones.
So, who’s gonna win? That’s the “prediction” part, I reckon. Well, both teams stink, if you ask me. But the Seventy-sixers, they got some fellas hurtin’, I heard. Injuries, they call ’em. Means they ain’t playin’ their best. And the Hornets, well, they’re playin’ at home, in Charlotte. That usually means somethin’, don’t it? Like havin’ your own chickens in your own coop. You feel more comfortable, you know?
So, if I had to put my money on it – which I wouldn’t, mind you, ’cause I ain’t got money to throw away – I’d say the Hornets gonna win. Yeah, them Hornets. They might not be much, but they’re at home, and the Seventy-sixers are all banged up. That’s my prediction, and you can take it to the bank… or don’t. Makes no difference to me.
They talkin’ about “odds” and “lines” too. Sounds like gamblin’ talk to me. I ain’t got no time for that. I just look at it plain and simple. Who’s healthy, who’s playin’ at home. That’s all that matters, far as I’m concerned.
And this “Jerry Richardson Stadium” they mentioned? Kickoff at 7:30 PM ET? That ain’t got nothin’ to do with basketball, I reckon. Sounds like that football stuff them youngsters are always watchin’. Different game altogether. Don’t get me started on that, now. Too much runnin’ and gruntin’ for my taste. Give me a good old basketball game any day, even if it’s just two sorry teams tryin’ to figure out which end of the court is up.
Anyways, that’s my take on this here “charlotte prediction.” Hornets gonna win, plain and simple. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens. They’re probably squawkin’ their heads off, wantin’ their dinner.
