Hornets out of playoffs?

[Cary Kollins]

I'm too lazy to look it up.

Are we out? What needs to happen to get in?

[TN05]

We can still get in. We're 11th at 31-42, Indiana is 10th at 32-42, Boston is 9th at 33-41, and Brooklyn is 8th at 33-40. So we are two games back from 8th place.

CK,just look at it like we're out. It's best for all involved. This team/coach sucks.

Charlotte is two back (9th) as of today (Thursday).

 

Remaining Schedule

 

4/3 Friday @ Indiana

4/4 Saturday v. Philly

4/7 Tuesday @ Miami (Cha leads 2-1)

4/8 Wednesday v. Toronto

4/10 Friday @ Atlanta

4/12 Sunday @ Detroit

4/13 Monday v. Houston

4/15 Wed @ Toronto

 

The next three are incredibly important ... we may have an even better idea of the hornets' realistic odds of getting in by Tuesday night.

This team should be able to win 5 or 6 of those games... Which means we will lose 6.

Just win enough to knock Brooklyn down more in the lottery.

The next three, in my opinion, will determine if we get in or not.  The other four (not including Detroit) are hard to predict because they could be resting starters or experimenting with new lineups, etc.  I would be surprised if Houston and Toronto aren't resting starters by the end, so in theory that could be an easy two. 

 

My only hope that we finish strong is founded in how Kemba has been playing since the fourth quarter of the Boston game on Monday night.  If Charlotte can weather Indiana and Philly, rumors are that Zeller and MKG will be back for beginning of next week. 

 

Regardless, we are following the team all the way to the end, which hasn't happened that much since the original team left (due to poor play). 

 

Here's to squeaking into the playoffs and giving Atlanta or Cleveland a run for their money!
