The Knicks are letting Bridges do whatever he wants

[jayboogieman]

A noon game Saturday? That is going to suck.

[jayboogieman]

Good win. Too bad they had that slump a few weeks back.

[MillionDollarCam]

Well here’s where we stand…

7th. - Cleveland (42-34) - 6 games remaining - Hornets are 2.5 games back

8th. Brooklyn (40-36) - 6 games remaining - Hornets are 0.5 games back

9th. Charlotte (40-37) - 5 games remaining

10th. Atlanta (39-37) - 6 games remaining - Hornets are 0.5 games up

 

Important Games Tomorrow

- Nets vs. Bucks

- Cavs @ Hawks

 

[Captain Morgan]

a win, and we clinch a play in berth.

 

I think the next game is a 12:30 start on Saturday, I'll update later

[jayboogieman]

Last night's game gave the Hornets their first 40 game win season since 2016. This game also gives the Hornets their first back to back postseason play in 20 years.

[MillionDollarCam]

It’s going to be a tight finish.

7. Cleveland (42-25) - 5 GR - Hornets 2 games back

8. Brooklyn (40-37) - 5 GR - Hornets 0 games back

9. Charlotte (40-37) - 5 GR

10. Atlanta (40-37) - 5 GR - Hornets 0 games ahead

In a three way tie, Brooklyn would get the nod as they have best head to head winning percentage among the three tied teams, though that could changed as Atlanta and Brooklyn play each other one more time. If Charlotte is just in a tie with Brooklyn then Charlotte would have the tiebreaker.

The next set of important games comes on Saturday.

Hornets @ 76ers

Cavs @ Knicks

Nets @ Hawks

 

[MillionDollarCam]

There’s a very slight chance we could end up in 7th, it would require us winning four of our last five (at the very least).

Cleveland

@ NYK - Win (43-35)

vs. PHI - Loss (43-36)

@ ORL - Win (44-36)

@ BKN - Loss (44-37)

vs. MIL - Loss (44-38)

 

Brooklyn

@ ATL - Loss (40-38)

vs. HOU - Win (41-38)

@ NYK - Loss (41-39) - The Nets probably win but we need them to lose one more game that’s not the Cleveland game

vs. CLE - Win (42-39)

vs. IND - Win (43-39)

 

Atlanta

vs. BKN - Win (41-37)

@ TOR - Loss (41-38)

vs. WSH - Win (42-38)

@ MIA - Loss (42-39)

@ HOU - Win (43-39)

 

Charlotte

@ PHI - Loss (40-38)

@ MIA - Win (41-38)

vs. ORL - Win (42-38)

@ CHI - Win (43-38)

vs. WSH - Win (44-38)

The standings would be…

7th. Charlotte (44-38) - Charlotte wins tiebreaker over Cleveland due to conference winning percentage.

8th. Cleveland (44-38)

9th. Brooklyn (43-39) - Brooklyn wins tiebreaker over Atlanta due to head to head record.

10th. Atlanta (43-39)
