Wow what a come back to send it to OT. We had a chance to close it out, but I’ll take OT. 

[Captain Morgan]

overtime

[PantherExpress]

Not going too well in OT... 

[WOW!!]

fuged the referee they are New york trash...

[Captain Morgan]

gotta hand it to the Hornets, they never gave up.  Gave themselves a chance, but couldn't pull out the win.  Must win tomorrow.

[jayboogieman]

The end of regulation and OT took a Bobcats style turn.

Bad calls by the refs or not the team looks atrocious at the end of games as of late and when the Knicks are sinking threes on you in overtime and you're chucking up airballs it's a wrap. This team will probably get throttled in the playoffs if they even make it in. Some guys with paydays coming up are showing their worth and it isn't looking good. The team can upgrade at multiple positions at this point. I've seen enough Horncats trash sorry just calling it like I see it.

Bridges sure didn’t look like he has been sick for two weeks

devonte is a player...sign him to a deal

PJ had nothing...he was awful

monk not a big time player

rozier just has no legs left...been trying to do it all

did melo get hurt?...he was non existent 

we had our chance, couldn’t get one to fall at the end

PJ is the laziest player on the team. All that talent and poss poor effort game after game. 
 

Monk is just as you said, not big time, he disappears every time he is needed. 
 

This team needs some bigs in the worst way and needs to cut some fat if they don't wake their asses up. Some guys are playing their hearts out and others (looking at you PJ and Monk, hurt ass Hayward too) cannot seem to get out of their own way.

The Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards, and Indiana Pacers are all tied at 33-38 for the Eastern Conference’s No. 8, No. 9, and No. 10 seeds. With only one regular season game left, today’s matchup against the Wizards could ultimately determine if the Hornets make the playoffs or not.

Charlotte holds the tiebreaker over both the Wizards and Pacers. A win today would cement the Hornets as the No. 8 seed. This is massively important in light of the NBA’s new play-in approach where the No. 7 through No. 10 seeds will face off to determine who makes the playoffs. If the Hornets win today they will face the No. 7 seed and the winner makes the playoffs. If they lose as the No. 8 seed, they will face the winner of the No. 9 vs. No. 10 seed, and the winner of that game makes the playoffs.

The path to the playoffs is much easier as the No. 8 seed than if the Hornets lose today and end up No. 9 or No. 10. This game is about as big as it gets in the regular season.

As I stated earlier, Bridges is on another level since Hayward went down with the foot injury. I wonder if Mitch is regretting signing him to that big contract now. If Miles could have been playing like this the whole time it makes Hayward an expensive luxury at best. Miles has played mostly well all season, but not like he has since he cracked the starting lineup. He is probably the best player on the team currently. Miles is at least playing like he is the best anyway.

I have the feeling Devonte will get a contract before Monk. He is a local kid and more consistent player.

PJ is still figuring things out. Miles didn't look much better last year.

I've never been impressed with Monk. He has always reminded me of Bobcats era Ben Gordon, way too streaky. Let some other team have him.

Yeah, Rozier seems out of it. Dude needs some rest.

I don't remember seeing anything about Ball getting hurt. He was rotating his wrist a lot on the sidelines though. Graham was also balling out, so it didn't make sense to pull him in favor of Melo.
