Who's our biggest rival?

[Dcarnys]

Well I know this isn't the biggest concern of most people here but after being mostly isolated from the bobcats in Florida for the last week and sitting in Traffic in Georgia for 6 hours gave me more time to think then any man not in prison should be able to. And I got to thinking who's our biggest rival? Well I got a couple of Ideas

New Orleans- Old vs New mostly just for us though. Every b-ball game I've played listed them as our rival.

Boston- Two words, Ray Allen nuff said.

LA Lakers- They probably hate us since we have always played good (beaten) them, not to mention Kobe blowing of coming to Charlotte when the Hornets drafted him.

Washington- Divisional Rival and it's close by, It's always a pretty evenly matched game too.

Atlanta- Again divisional rival and the whole I-85 rivalry with the Panthers.

Milwaukee- I don't know why im even bothering with this one but on 2k10 psp version has it listed as one of our rivals. Someone explain this to me please.

At first it was looking like Orlando til they left us in the dust.

Teams I hate in the EC or at least REALLY want to beat:

Chicago
Toronto
Milwaukee

Until we can start winning consistently tho no one will consider us their rival. Maybe a fly in the ointment but that's about it.

I thought it would have been Orlando too, I think that ended with Okafor being traded. No more comparisons of Okafor and Howard.

Since I'm also a Panthers fan, Atl and NO are my thoughts for biggest rivals

[ND22]

I think the team that will truely become our rival is the one we play in our first playoff series, especially if that team is in our conference and if that series is a good competitive one.

ATL and NOLA are probably the biggest from history of the two cities, and Boston and LA from the team's play.

[Fred Williamson]

I would say, the Knicks

[bozzy]

You can't have a rival until you at least make the playoffs.

[amour217]

The team bus....we suck on the road

[ohara831]

I have to say ATL just because of proximity and they are in the same Division.

[BigMike]

Lakers.


See my sig for more info.

First, from the bottom of my heart I just want to say Fuck Ray Allen.

Now, I think New Orleans because they still carry the Hornets. Annoucers still call us the Charlotte Hornets sometimes.If it wasn't for NC's own CP3 I would out right hate the Hornets.

Maybe Dallas and Orlando since we have the worse record ever against those two teams.

[BRNC]

Boston and LAL top my list...I hate both of those teams...

[TheBeagle]

The one team I've always viewed as rival is ATL. Maybe's it's cause I was a huge Dominique-era Hawks fan and I still hate the franchise for trading him away for Danny fucking Manning, but it really makes sense on a regional level and we're just about even in terms of all-time Ws and Ls.

Since MJ has come on board, the Knicks make sense as well.

I would say Orlando also, but a rivalry can't always be dominated by one side, and, alas the Cats are the Magic's bitch....However, the same principle precludes the Lakers as being a rival, as the Cats own their asses :cool:

[GoBobs]

I would really hate to see the hawks or the hornets win it all before we do.

The knicks because of the way they did LB.

The wizards because of the way they did MJ.

Any team that has kobe on it for the way he dissed the queen city.

Any team that disgraces themselves as a franchise by tanking to get a better ping pong ball position. Yes I am talking about you celtics, cavs and heat.

[Fred Williamson]

I would say, the Knicks

yep, now it's definitely the Knicks.

[BETCATS]

yep, now it's definitely the Knicks.
Why did you quote yourself???


I would have to say Hornets, Knicks, Celtics, Lakers, Magic (not as much now that Emeka v Dwight is gone), and Atlanta are our main rivals.
