Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat. It has been a great season regardless. Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed. It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots. Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark. I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.

Yeah that dude hasn't watched many games. Hornets been blowing teams out. Not just squeaking by and barely winning games. NBA fans are watching Hornets games because they are one of the most fun teams to watch (and Eric Collins) and I just don't remember other fans of NFL teams saying "yeah Panthers are super fun to watch I'm tuning in". Fans of other teams do NOT want to play the Hornets in a series. I sure don't remember anyone being scared of the Panthers.

It seems it's a pretty low chance to get anything above 9 seed. Someone did the numbers and it's like 15% chance to get 8 seed and much lower for above. I think it's like 50% for 9th and 25% for 10th seed. Knowing that, I wonder if it may make sense to sit Kon or others and at the very least limit some minutes to get ready for two play-in games.

I'm hoping Detroit and NY are in positions to just rest people. Detroit probably will be. We can't lose to the Pacers for sure though.

I don't think it's a homer though when I really feel this team can beat anyone. The points that can be scored in bunches when the big three are on has high potential. Moose has effort for days and IMO is the heart of the team. And didn't see Miles becoming the team "vet" in the starting lineup just roleplaying lol. We have to limit the turnovers though (Brandon Miller I'm looking at you bud, you are a bad ball handler) and some little things. Colby off the bench is a cheat code and him and Kaulk have a nice little game going with the picks. Sion playing every game and just getting better each game. He has grit. Grant and Green also grit. We need replace Tillman with PJ Hall though. Tillman looks like someone that shouldn't be on an NBA court, or at least with this team, he's just too slow for this tempo. Even McNeely looked decent tonight and can drive. If Kaulk and Moose could even be like 30% 3pt shooters man....

I'd have to guess Tremble is out because of the money we'd save and use that to upgrade the position. Sanders is on a rookie deal. And then I'd guess we draft some late round TE if that.

Yeah the bench last night was awesome. There was times we had all three rookies on the court and you have to love that. Kaulk is getting better and learning how to use his size. Sion had a game. Grant and Green have been so great coming in. I really like this team. The only player that gives me pause is when we have Tre Mann out there but should be limited if Colby can keep playing. And Moose is such a fan favorite. Dude plays so hard. Obviously Miller/Kon/Melo are our scorers but I feel Moose is the heart of the team and gets everyone fired up. The hive looked rocking last night too.

These refs are horrible. They definitely got money on this game lol.

Team is so fun when they turn it on. Brandon was trying to troll us last night with all the turnovers but we still turned it on. Colby brings that energy to the floor that was missing when Melo was resting so that's nice. Also those two can play together. Please no more Sion at the point because it kills momentum (unless game is a blow out of course). Kon plays like the most mature rookie I've seen. Makes vet moves. And he's just so consistent to balance out Melo and Miller when they are having off nights. Overall the team is just fun and plays hard. Grant and Green really stepped it up the last few weeks too. I was impressed by PJ Hall the previous four games as well. You can tell the team really feels like they can beat anyone, any night.

Handing off play calling is good. Handing it off to his buddy, I'm not so sure of. But here we are, hope it works.

I don't think we should get caught up in dropped pass statistics when we watched all the games. The eye test with XL is that he's not dependable. He drops easy passes. He makes low football IQ moves like stepping out bounds, penalties, etc. He also seems like he's running in quick sand sometimes out there. Compare it to when we would give Jimmy Horn the ball and XL was faster coming out of college. I get that maybe Jimmy is just quicker and not sustained faster but the difference is crazy. And while T Mac had a good bit of drops he just looked like a real receiver out there and made up for it. Bryce has probably lost confidence in him and may be one reason he's open sometimes and doesn't get the pass (on top of Bryce's issues of course). Honestly, it may be he's just done here and is jaded and needs traded. Or he needs to sit on the bench and see how he responds (I don't expect anything great). But I liked Horn's speed and potential more than XL at this point. We should look there, the draft, and potential free agents and not keep waiting on XL to turn the corner.

I think XL may just need benched and see how he responds and if he works is way back. I'd much rather spend time getting Horn ready to be our #3 or whatever.

I do think we need a speedy receiver but I don't think this fits the bill. Wan'dale Robinson maybe? Not Hill though. But yeah we need edge help more than anything.

It's more impressive when you have one or two of the guys have an off game or get in foul trouble (Miller) but the rest of the team picks it up. They believe in themselves. Hats off to coaching too. What a fun team to watch. Can't wait to get Colby out there too.

Yeah no doubt he's our best receiver. We got a diamond just because he played for a small school. We can't let him go, I feel he's the type of dude who goes somewhere and lights it up.
