The Hornets are Now the Seventh Seed in the East

My thought going into the weekend was that we'd know a lot by the end of this week. We're not a team who can roll off 10-15 in a row. However, like CP noted, we beat Toronto and Detroit, one of which has a better record than us. We just dropped one to a team with a better record than us. So far, it's a positive. If we can win tomorrow and Saturday, I'd be very excited. If we can just take one, then I think we can expect to be on this playoff bubble for the next few weeks.

Milwaukee is begging to fall out of the playoffs. Could've gotten a top 5 seed if they had kept knight.

I think it's a 5 team race for the last 3 spots. Indiana and Boston are playing the best now, but I expect a dip at some point - teams this low don't play consistently well for extended periods. And I do see at least one more hot streak by us before the year is out.

It's gonna be real tight, probably gonna come down to tie breakers, but all I know is with our luck, if we make it in, we're gonna draw Cleveland no matter what.

They made the true for the future, not for this season. They obviously didn't want to pay Knight, and now they get basically a free two and a half year evaluation of a player for someone they didn't want.

I get the reason they made the trade, but I still don't agree with it.  Knight brought elite shooting to the team, and was playing at a borderline all-star level this year, and had kept them really competetive despite injuries, suspensions, and quitting.  MCW is one of the least efficient shooters the league has seen in years.  And in following the Hornets closely, we all know that great shooting impacts a game much more than someone chock full of non-shooting intangibles.

 

Between Giannis and Parker, their wings are scary, and I think Knight accentuated their skills better with his shooting/slashing ability.  MCW will muck up any spacing they would have to drive, and won't be able to bail the team out with jumpers like Knight did.  And since they're on rookie contracts, they could afford to pay Knight for a few years, and make a decision on PGs when their rookie deals are up.  But they might be the longest armed team in the league right now with those 3 and Henson.  They'll be an interesting team to watch though.

If he was above average he would be able to lead his team.

 

You know like Kemba did last year when he and Al took a decent to average Charlotte team to the playoffs.

 

MCW could single-handily cause the Bucks to miss the playoffs. He's a selfish player and and turns the ball over at a worse rate than Lance Stephenson.

 

Isn't it ironic that Philly has actually climbed out of the basement ever since he was traded.

      I'm Sold on Drew Allar

      I find it more like now that I have been forced to watch Young so much it isn’t as much of a shock to my senses.   Desensitized they call it.   For real, it just looks normal almost now. Where the first game of 2023 I wasn’t sure what I was looking at it was so out of bounds for NFL type play. I literally couldn’t make sense of what I had seen vs Atlanta that first week.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      Lynch in SF. Great is subjective but he has done pretty well there.

      CJ Stroud

      Sure, except Stroud has the ability to stretch the field with deep passes. He did that often last night with ease, but couldn’t connect on many due to being flustered by the defense. BY9 gets flustered and can’t throw screens, let alone even think about any deeper passes. Stroud would’ve changed the franchise and done more with the situation last year. My thought at least.    the hope is that last year showed tepper that he needed to step back from football decisions. There’s a positive in most situations and maybe we’ll see a new tepper in the near future.
