The Charlotte Hornets had a nice little start to the season, winning three of their first four games. For a minute, it looked like things might be different this year. Well, that didn't last long.

Monday's game against Detroi t was a mess. The Hornets lost by 33 points, and that makes four losses in a row. They're 3-5 now after looking pretty good just a week ago.

November isn't looking much better, either. Boston and Cleveland are on the schedule , and Charlotte still has a trip out west to deal with. There are some games Charlotte should win this month, but the way things are going, even those aren't looking like sure things.
