Let's bring the buzz back, and bring that energy back on the basketball court and make this city proud again.

We spoke to our season ticket holders and fans, and overwhelmingly you guys wanted the Hornets name back. And we went out and brought the name back. Ultimately we still have to play the game at a high level, which is what the Hornets did for a long period of time. Changing the name does not guarantee that we're going to be a playoff-contending team. We still have a lot of work to do to build that. I'm not walking away from that. It is what it is.
