The lack of discipline has seriously been our downfall the last month. Seems like we just went off course this last month and Lee won't address it. You can't just live and die by the 3 when you can attack the paint and at worst draw a foul

The top 2 in the league and 3 of the top 21 in 3 pointers made. It isn't the last month it's how they play. I'm fine with them shooting a ton of threes but they need to tweak the formula a bit. When they have a big lead they need to start driving to the basket, when games get tight down the stretch they need to start driving to the fuging basket. Miller needs to be the guy. Ball is afraid of getting hurt and Kon is a rookie.

Yeah, I agree. bridges shoots way too many threes. Brandon is our best all around player and if he put on some weight he'd be unstoppable 

Yup. Hopefully  Brandon adds some muscle this off-season but he'll probably be resting his shoulder for a while so I doubt it. Miles should probably be replaced but I don't think we find a better 4th option to be honest. So is it better to add depth along side williams and Coby or try to upgrade the 4/5 . I think adding depth will probably be more beneficial than trying to upgrade starters and bank on Brandon and Kons continuing development. I really don't think they are going to make the playoffs unfortunately. I think the big hole they put themselves in has exhausted them. They've been amazing since January 1 but I think it's come at a cost and their legs are gone.

We're built a lot like Boston, but Boston has jaylen brown killing it on 2 pointers

Bridges wants to jack up threes like melo and kon and needs to be getting to the basket. Miller needs to get stronger and do more of that too 

Freakin Kon. Taking a break for a few days after this one

Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type

Clearly Boston and Detroit did not want the hornets in the playoffs and you cannot blame them. If the hornets can hang on to 9th and beat the heat they are better than the magic or the embiidless sixers so we will see. Their legs seem to be going though. Second game in a row where they've been dog poo in the 4th

Hornets bet should get there

I don't see that happening. Just because Atlanta is better than miami

I don't either but that could get us to 6 or 7

If Cleveland loses, I don't think the Knicks will have anything to play for sunday

Hornets really need Atlanta to lose the last 2

10 to 14bdays before you can resume physical activity. He's out for play in games for sure

Knew it was only a matter of time with how he flops like a fish on the hardwood

Not sure that results in appendicitis but yeah he is a bitch for sure

Embiid O U T . Let's goo!! Doubt he will play in play in either

Philly probably goes 2-1 last three games, Orlando probably goes 1-1 in its last two. 

With Detroit locked and injured right now and NY locked in, pretty good chance they sit and rest or play the starters limited minutes those two games and it ends up with Philly, Orlando and Charlotte all with the same record of 45-37. 

If that happens we need Atlanta to lose their last two then boom we jump them all as division winner

5 way tie at 45 wins would give the hornets the 5 seed if anyone cares lol

This group has certainly overachieved and shown glimpses of great basketball at times but it's still a young roster. 7th youngest roster in the league. We just need to get them some playoff experience and if we can win a few or more along the way that will be a fantastic bonus. But whatever we do in the offseason adding another legit center should be the priority.

If they end up with 2 firsts I would use one to draft another scoring option to come off the bench with white and williams then use the other one plus another first or two to trade for a center.  He's undersized like moose but Sabonis could be a really good fit with the starting 5. He's expensive though

About to run away with this and make it a blow out. Boston is on a whole different level 

Could not maintain with melo on the bench. Totally different game with white playing imo

Got miller rest and stayed in it. They're winning 

Kon is gassed and definitely hit the rookie wall. They need some rest at the worst they need to win the 7/8 game

Miller is going to need to take over the 4th quarter 

James is straight up dookie because I have him for 5 points. Missed 2 or 3 wide open 3s  2 layups and a free throw

Getting to the basket is key. They didn't do that against philly in that loss

Being booed like Cam use to be, I love it

Brandon and Kon need to get it together before the playoffs start. 

If melo, miller,miles, Kon and Coby are all on the aren't winning a game by less than 20
