Best case (realistic) scenario for the remaining games

Hornets win out: at WAS, at BOS, vs ORL

Celtics win at ATL, lose vs CHA, lose vs MIA

Heat win vs ORL, lose at DET, win at BOS

Hawks lose vs BOS, lose at CLE, win at WAS

this winds up with us in 3rd place and the rest of the three stooges in a tie for 4th.. it all starts tonight with Boston winning at Atlanta. if that doesn't happen - we can wave good bye to the 3rd spot because i'm not betting on Washington to beat the Hawks the last game of the season

So as we sit here now in a three way tie with one game to go, it looks like our best seed available is 5 since MIA or BOS will get one more win.  Since we can't get home court, would we rather play ATL, MIA, or BOS?

If Miami beats Boston tonight and Hornets win on Wednesday, Charlotte (5 seed) will play Miami (4 seed).

If Boston beats Miami tonight and Hornets win on Wednesday, Charlotte (5 seed) will play Boston (4 seed). We lose the seeding tiebreaker via a head-to-head tiebreaker (Boston 2-1).

If Charlotte loses on Wednesday, we will be the 6th seed no matter what.

If Atlanta loses to Washington on Wednesday, only Miami has a chance at the 3 seed. Miami owns the division tiebreaker against Atlanta and Atlanta owns the head-to-head tiebreaker against Boston.

 

Just a general idea of where Charlotte could end up and who they play (my brain hurts). That loss on Sunday was huge and to a Wizards team without Wall and Beal.

But, assuming everyone wins out, we still wouldn't have passed Atlanta and would have still wound up with the 4-5 matchup.

We can still "technically" gain home court if we can steal one in Miami or Boston, which we've shown we can do this season.

While it sucked from a momentum standpoint they pretty much did everything in their power against Boston to show that was a fluke solely based on the start time.

This team lost HCA when they lost to bad Denver and Phoenix teams during that Western road swing from hell and laid an egg against Denver at home before beating the Spurs.

They definitely improved this season but are still not at a point where they are competitive enough against title teams to afford to have those off nights if they want a high seed.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
