That dunk by Miles...

Very nice punctuation to send the Knicks and their fans home with.

[carpanfan96]

1.5 games back of 6th seed

2 games back of winning the division

Honestly that laziness and dumb play at the end was good for the team, something to keep their egos in check and keep them focused going into the 76ers game. Just lucky we had enough of a cushion for it to not hurt us in game though lol

Send the bandwagon Yankee fans packing

Philly and Boston next. Thank god they’re at the hive. That’s a tough 2 to play right there.

If/when Milwaukee and the Bulls lose another game both are officially eliminated from the playoffs.

Celtics tomorrow for them. Hopefully they lose and start to slide.

The end of their season schedule is tough. 

2 left vs Boston, home and away

2 left vs Cleveland, same as Boston. 

Away vs Orlando 

Away vs Miami 

Home vs NY

Easy games against Sacramento and Brooklyn. 

 

Hornets only need to end up with the same record as them to win the division if it comes down to those two teams. Miami and Orlando still in it as well.

Another interesting fact is the Hornets since the start of the year are 27-12.

NY doesn't want to see Charlotte in that first round, they'd basically have to bench Towns and bring him off the bench to play him during a 7 game series.

One negative. Bridges has got to stop shooting 3s. Leave that to about 5 other guys that ain't your game, stop doing it.

Philly will be a bigger challenge than the Knicks were IMO. George and Embiid are back, not sure about Maxey but Embiid alone is a nightmare matchup for us and Moose. We’ve never really done well against him. Celtics added Tatum but honestly not sure they’re all that much better with him right now than they were when we whooped them a few weeks ago. We should be able to at the very least split these 2, hopefully take both.

I agree but he honestly has gotten better about this. Used to be he’d do it like 4-5 times a game, now it’s like 2-3. Overall I’m incredibly happy with his game, his D has been solid and when he is playing his role he’s a solid scorer and one of the few guys who can consistently finish at the rim and provide that threat. Plus he’s electric and LaMelo loves him. Going into the season I was sure he would just be a stop gap here but now I’m reconsidering and could see him continue to be a “core” piece here. Obviously not on the level of the other starters but he is an important cog for this team. We felt his missed presence during his and Moose’s suspensions.
