Watching the 76ers/Bobcats game tonight on NBA Leauge Pass. Not sure if I'm the only one??? BUT the annoucer for Philly, at the start of the 2nd quarter, said that he spoke with Coach Brown before the game and Brown said that he felt that maybe not making the playoffs wouldn't be a bad thing for the young Bocats team! He said that he felt maybe the Bobcats are too new to this and need to sit through the pain of not getting in, after being teased a little... that it would make us stronger next year.

Not sure what to think of it. I don't have a link or anything in writing... going off what the annoucer said.

Interested. I somewhat agree with Brown, though I hate to suggest it.

I would agree, the players on this team for the most part don't know what winning feels like in the pro's. Give em a taste and take it away. Add a couple of players in the draft, bring back Alexis and we should have a very good young team next season.

We almost blew another huge lead....

Even if we squeeze into the playoffs, I don't see how we wouldn't be swept.

The Cavs will probably own us in the playoffs but it is still soooo worth it to get there.

Again, this team is tired and is running out of gas as the games wear on.

i havent seen it mentioned but if we make the playoffs we will lose our lottery protected first round pick to the nuggets. Either way this season has been a huge step in the right direction

I watched it on DTV last night, thank god for League Pass. I did not hear it, but I have to agree with it. Frankly I'd rather miss the playoffs this year, it kicks us out of the lottery, which we can't afford if Felton leaves. And if we do make it, we won't even come close to winning one game vs the Cavs.

it would be nice if we ended up with the number one overall next season by sheer luck.

you can't win if you don't play.

I have mixed feelings about making the playoffs, my gut says we gotta try to get in and so I would hope we get in... but it'd be interesting what we can do with a top draft pick and three 2nd rounders.
