Kemba just headed straight to the locker room at the buzzer -- didn't shake hands with the other team or anything like that.

I want to make the playoffs...but if it's not meant to be, we should shut Kemba down with a mysterious ailment and we could be the 6th or 7th worst team if we lose out or go 1-15 the rest of the way

Bacon did not have a good game tonight, also how can Marv go from 30 points last night to 0 for most of the game until the last few minutes.

Batum leading the team with 37 minutes played
Cody played 23 while Frank played 21, oh and Frank the 7 footer had 1 whole rebound in 21 minutes.

It would be great for the franchise moving forward if this were to happen, especially if Kemba would agree to it and resign.

We somehow luck into a top 4 pick, Kemba comes back, and we get Washington's 2nd rounder if Denver has a top 5 record. Those are immediate assets that can provide a good impact next year, or we could even use them as leverage in a deal for another star player.

As terrible as we've played and as terrible as the lineups Borrego has used, we're still easily within reach of the playoffs. Kemba seems like he's already just about checked out, and I could see a move like benching him the rest of the season being the tipping point that leads him to leave during free agency. I can't imagine this team being much different next year, so, if we can't make the playoffs this year, how are we gonna make them next year? If it's hopeless now, how is it gonna be any better next year? Adding another lottery pick that might play a few games, get benched 20 games, become a starter, get benched again, etc. ain't gonna make much of an impact on this team regardless. I also can't imagine that Jordan would prefer that we tank rather than try to make the playoffs. Same goes for Borrego, if just for his reputation.

There will be no shutdown of Kemba unless he’s truly dinged up. Jordan wants the playoffs, badly. A recent article talked about how teams make more money in the first round than any other, due to allowing local revenue to go to the team for that round only. MJ wants a return on investment.

Unfortunately for him and this pathetic front office that isn’t happening.

I think Kemba sees the Bucks as the type of team making strides and bringing in help for a deep playoff run, and it kills him. He went straight to the locker room because he’s embarrassed by this team. I say he’s outta here.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
