Toronto or Indiana?


Jakob

Recommended Posts

It seems like for months now we have been wishing and hoping for that #6 seed so we could play Toronto because we are 3-0 against them this season. I honestly wouldn't even be that upset if we had to play the Pacers.. I don't know what's up with that team but they are failing on a scale of epic proportions. Indiana is 2-7 over the past 2..

 

 

 

I really don't care anymore. Who do you guys want?

- Toronto is playing really good ball but I feel like Al would dominate Val possibly leading us to a 4-1 or 4-2 series win.

- Indiana is struggling right now, they're 3-7 in their last 10 and no one knows why. We match up well with them but come playoff time they are still a dangerous team.

Personally, with the camaraderie that our team has, I could honestly see us making a run to the ECF's before losing out to Miami.

Chicago and Miami are the only two teams that I feel like we couldn't beat in a seven game series.

Toronto and Chicago both have fairly easy remaining schedules.

Chicago

@ Minnesota

Vs Detroit

@ New York

Vs Orlando

@ Charlotte

Toronto

Vs Philadelphia

Vs New York

@ Detroit

Vs Milwaukee

@ New York

I think Toronto has the easier schedule...

Toronto: vs 0 teams .500 or better

Chicago: vs. 2 teams .500 or better (both on the road).

Heat and Pacers seeding should be determined Sat night unless the head to head on Fri solves it. Once we win Wed, wouldn't be surprised if our seeding is determined the last day of the season.

Think New York may determine the seeds between Chicago and Toronto.

Just from a National relevance perspective..a Cha vs Tor will have the all time worst NBA TV ratings in history..easily.

Id rather take full swings at Indy..take them to 7..or just give them a great tough series. I want this team to play a playoff tested team to get the guys to up their play and raise their own personal expectations.

In the long run this will benefit the HORNETS more than even a win against a Raptor squad IMO.

In order to arrive you cannot be afraid of the best teams..take your shots..a Denver Nugget vs Seattle Supersonic upset could ensue...

I was thinking the same thing for Charlotte vs. Toronto. No one will be watching that.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
