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.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jeremy Fowler draft intel on the Panthers: “Carolina was high on Proctor. If he somehow slipped to 19, he was a viable option.” “Caleb Lomu was on the Panthers short list too.” “Panthers weren’t totally comfortable with Stowers there at 49.”   https://x.com/panthersontap/status/2049827264972353727?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
