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.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
