We're up five going into the fourth quarter after a 9-0 run to end the third quarter.

BKN and DET lost and MIA is losing.

A win tonight at least still gives us hope for another game or two.

They said MIA's magic number to eliminate us is three (any combination of three CHA losses or MIA wins).

Our offense has been so ****** these past few minutes.

You can't tell me playing a random mish mash of players every game doesn't throw off our rhythm/chemistry.

Kemba sets the franchise record for most three pointers made in a season (surpasses Jason Richardson).

Goddamn this team for not being able to knock down WIDE OPEN SHOTS.

Kemba dominating like he should to close it out. He's easily the most talented player on the floor tonight.

Well, I tried to jinx us. #12 pick is ours. This team can't get out of it's own way.

I rather just keep winning with our guys the draft will play it self out and besides this is not a good star heavy draft cept Zion and Barrett and we not getting close to them.

I'm glad that we won given that we still have a small chance of making the playoffs, but I'm not really thrilled with how we played. It seems like most of them have already gone fishing mentally. Luckily Kemba bailed us out late again, but we would have probably lost against most teams playing the way we did tonight. NOP didn't even really play particularly well and they were still up with a few minutes left to go...

It goes back to the Lakers game. Never expected us to win the middle two games but losing that Lakers game probably ended our season.

In terms of the rotation, I was worried JB was going to keep MKG out there on Randell all the way till the ship was completely sunk. Terrible matchup and MKG just doesn’t have the strength to defend a guy like Randell in the post. Thank God he put Biz back in to stop the bleeding.

This is officially NBA purgatory. We aren’t getting out of it anytime soon it seems. It’d be nice if Silver gave us the number one pick. It’s the least he can do.

Coby White is going to be good.

Coby will be gone by the time we pick. We will end up with another mediocre player for the woodpile, adding to the treadmill collection series.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Pretty amazing that if we lose our next 2 games we will have our usual 36 wins for the season. You have to admit that although bad we are also consistent. :banghead:
