We really need devonte back

and bridges too

It would be nice if Hayward could play basketball again in our lifetime as well.

It feels like an invisible force trying to keep these Hornets out of the playoffs.

We'll make the playoffs, but we'll have to do the play in mini tourney, and if we get healthy, we can move on.

I read over the weekend some folks were saying the team they don't want to catch is the Hornets.  We just have to get healthy.  All teams deal with injuries, but we've been hit hard.  If we get everyone back, we can make noise, but this team won't beat the  "big 3" in our conference.  We don't have the front court.

Get some playoff experience, and head into the off season looking for a center.  For the first time since the new Hornets came into existence, we have building blocks, and hope for a nice long run of being a contender.

Enjoy the ride.

Word out of Boston is Jalen Brown out for the season with torn ligament in hand/wrist..

Man if we can somehow play them in the 7vs8 game..... cmon Hornets 

[Captain Morgan]

should be a playoff game atmosphere tonight.

"With four games left in the regular season, the Charlotte Hornets host the Denver Nuggets in a game that may decide whether it takes one win or two to advance to the playoffs. The Hornets are hanging on to a razor thin lead over the Indian Pacers and Washington Wizards for the 8^th seed in the Eastern Conference. The seventh and eighth place teams only need one win to make the playoffs versus two wins for the ninth and tenth, so there’s a considerable amount, for which, to play.

The Nuggets come into the Spectrum Center dealing with their own interesting play-in scenario. They are in 4^th place in the West, one game back from the L.A. Clippers."

MVP Jokic. Imagine if mpj didn't have drop foot

Terrible start and it feels like this one is all but over already.

As a nuggets/Panthers fan, we just trying to make it to the playoffs without another injury. Hornets have enough firepower to come back. 

I root for the hornets every night expect when they playing Denver

Even if they have the firepower to come back, they don't have the defense.

[Captain Morgan]

Hornets got blown out early, down 21 at one point.  

Jalen kept us in the game, then Devonta, Malik and Cody give us a boost.  Terry finally gets hot, and the deficit is cut to 5.

[Captain Morgan]

but now Jokic is back in the game.

We pick and our spots with the injuries

The Hornets have surprised me and made a game of it. I'm glad I was wrong.
