GT: Hornets vs Magic Wed Mar 22 7PM EST

Another very winnable game. We've pretty much owned the Southeast Division this year, 9-3.

Would be great to see the bench build on their last game, Frank in particular.

Agree Fats, would love to see how the bench play. Free Briante! 9th seed here we come!

Be something else if we won out and grabbed the 7 seed.

Put me in the boat of people that believe we would've made the playoffs easily if Clifford tried Frank at C earlier in the season like many of us suggested and tried Briante over Roberts when hope was still alive. That might be a very small boat tho.

I'm in that boat with you. I think Clifford has done an absolutely wretched job this season. This might be the worst coaching job of his career.

No doubt, considering Cho seems to be a Clifford 'Yes Man' according to interviews.

I just hope we win the majority of our games to make the playoffs or lose the majority. Please god, don't let us go .500 the rest of the way and draft 12th or 13th.

Come on Frank, make those wide open 3s. You're killing me.

Does anyone feel confidently that Sessions is better than Weber?

Weber, all over the place, good and bad. Twice he's been beaten straight for a layup.

I love our road teals. Weber especially looks good rocking it. However it doesn't work in all arenas. Some use too much yellow light. The Magic have good lighting, much better than ours. Our lighting is a bit too dim and faded.

Can't wait to see what the coaching staff can do with Weber this summer in terms of helping him improve his pick and roll decisions. If that can help his shooting as well, that would be a bonus.

I'm in that boat with you. I think Clifford has done an absolutely wretched job this season. This might be the worst coaching job of his career.

Rotations has always been his most glaring weakness as a coach since day 1, closely followed by ability to make in-game adjustments.

This season it just looked worse and was more obvious because we had less talent coming off a poor offseason.

Jodie Meeks? Haven't seen him play in a long time thought he was still hurt

So, I guess now that we're basically done, Marco has decided to start shooting well again?

And Cody running around like it's game 7 of the finals, making up for lost time.

Kemba looking at both thinking, where the hell were you guys in January and February? 20 games for a thigh bruise? Please!

Meeks would show up in a body cast to get some shots up against us. He loves scorching us, ever since that game in Philly when he hit like 7 3s in the 1st quarter.
