Updated: The way Brooklyn is playing it looks like they will be the 5th seed which leaves us fighting with Washington for the 6th seed.

The Wizards upcoming schedule is semi-difficult.

- @ Portland

- @ LAL

- @ Denver

- @ Phoenix

- vs. Indiana

- vs. Atlanta

- @ Charlotte

They could easily go 2-5 or 1-6.

We need to capitalize by beating one of Houston or Portland then beat Brooklyn which puts us into the super easy part of our schedule where we could easily go 7-0 down the stretch.

It all starts with these next three games though. We HAVE to go 2-1 in the next three.

Portland didn't impress me too much when I saw them in San Antonio... I think we can take em... If splitter was workin on Em I think Al will do well

I really don't think the Wizards will win a game on their road trip... they're just not a good road team (they lost @SacTown last night).

If we go 3-1 in our next four, which is difficult but possible... (vs PTL, vs. HOU, vs. BRK, @ ORL) and Washington goes 0-4 on their road trip, I believe we would be even with them in the standings with them coming to Charlotte for both teams next game.

I will say this - to me, it's not the seed but the opponent IMO.  Since I don't think a 4th or higher is realistic at this point to get a home-court advantage in the series, I wouldn't mind the eighth spot as long as we get Indiana in the first round and Miami doesn't leapfrog them.

 

I feel that against the Pacers or Raptors we would be okay, but Miami would sweep us.  The Bulls would give us fits as well, so I will go with either the eight or six spot assuming the top four stay as is.  I feel that would give us the best chance to win a playoff game, perhaps series, under the Bobcats name before it is retired.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
