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.

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets
