2026 Charlotte Hornets

[HardcoreHokie]

Win tonight and we’re the 7th seed and nipping at the Hawks for the 6th seed (we also own the tie-breaker against them, 3-1).

Tonight is the biggest Hornets game in a decade or more.

I’ve thought this before, but especially tonight:  start Kalkbrenner at Center.

Moose will still get the majority of the minutes, but let Kalk take those (inevitable) 1st quarter fouls against Embiid.

Let a fresh Moose wear him down and frustrate him once he gets a little tired.

Biggest game until the next one. All the stretch run will be huge. Embiid has always dominated the hornets. Do they try to match up with kalk or try to run him off the floor with moose

They're all big games. Just get into the playoffs and anything can happen.

Still the biggest game in a decade+.  We haven’t sniffed these types of scenarios since prime Kemba.
