Will we make playoffs? 

Post#1 » by JDR720 » Thu Dec 7, 2017 4:18 am

Current standings have us 3.5 games back from 8th.

I think the Cavs, Boston and Raps are guaranteed playoff teams. I think the Bucks and Wiz are basically locks. That leaves a couple spots left for the rest of the conference besides the bulls,hawks and nets (i think they obviously wont make it).

I’m not even gonna vote because I think we should make the playoffs but our coaching staff is too stubborn to try different lineups like small ball and shorten the rotations so we’re kinda doomed until.

I need that poster to come back and let us know our chances based on math. I can’t remember his name for some reason. He was fun.

Nope, and we will end up with the 10th pick in the damn draft. or something

I think it's actually HoopsMalone, but might be a different poster.

Fair warning, I'm awfully close to the point of rooting for us to lose so we can draft high enough to get Bridges/Knox.

Just read a mock that had Bridges projected at #14. He hasn’t vastly improved and his areas of weaknesses remain the same without any real improvements. The mock also projected him as a small ball 4 which I feel all but eliminates him from us. I’ll have to see if I can find the mock.

I honestly feel like we played better basketball before Batum returned to the lineup.

I feel like this team doesn't deserve to make the playoffs, it's a Motley Crue of players that don't match or compliment each other

No playoffs. We are too bad, with too many injuries, poor coaching, over-valued current players, over paid heavy contracts.

I actually had hopes that we would have a winning record. Should have trusted my gut.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Absolutely not unless we make a major shakeup. I think that's been apparent for almost a month now.

I voted no but we've been so unwatchable this year that I honestly haven't seen enough of the team to give an honest assessment.

Then Knox or Bamba or whoever.
