It pains me to watch the Wizards and the Hawks play competitively in the postseason knowing that Charlotte is just as capable. However, I think this series against Miami will make Charlotte stronger after taking a look in the mirror following the disappointment. Mild success can make for content complacency, while this failure will make the front office seek improvement in the roster. For instance, I'm absolutely certain that Cho will go out of his way to find a replacement for Henderson, something I doubt would've happened if Charlotte defeated a team in the 1st round with Henderson averaging his usual 13-15 points per game against inferior opponents to Miami

I do agree with this. Often a wake up call is needed to help you realize what needs to be improved. If we learn from this series, then it will end up benefiting us in the long run.

But that being said, it makes me sick to watch Chicago, Toronto, and Indiana play so poorly, knowing that we would have a chance to win any of those series and came so close to getting one of those as our rd 1 opponent. And instead we get swept by the Heat. :banghead:

for **** sakes, Memphis had a 5 point lead with a minute left. that series should have gone 3-1. two frustrating games in a row last night.

Reggie Jackson, showing Henderson & MKG how to play aggressively by attacking the basket among other things when a defense isn't focused on you

Either this is one of the most thought out incredible hoaxes of all time or Sterling needs to be forced to sell his team like Marge Schott was forced to with the Reds.

Guy bought that franchise for $12.6 million, and will sell it for $600 million+ (Bucks just sold for $570 milion), so no skin off that 80 year old bastard's apple.

Gotta respect Durant and Westbrook praising Jackson after he saved their asses from ultimate ridicule.

Troy Daniels saved Harden's ass and he just walked off like nothing happened, back to the money, bad bitches, and fancy cars. Lol

I can't believe people actually thought Hendo was better than Derozan. Lol

I would pay Derozan $13mil before I'd pay Hendo $6mil. That's for sure.

it was close at one point but henderson reached his ceiling and derozan had a bit more game

DeRozen or however you spell it still kind of sucks IMO. Do not enjoy watching him play at all.

Troy Daniels has came out bombing 3s tonight. Would be nice if we could find a D Leaguer like that.

aggressive Hendo is good, we used to see it every time he played Kobe.

I don't what's got into him, maybe he needs a psych as he is looking like Corey Higgins at the moment.

Clippers planning on doing a more extensive boycott in game 5 concerning their stupid owner. Its already getting annoying to me. If they really want to do a boycott then boycott the freaking game. That would REALLY get people talking.

Throwing some jerseys or wearing black socks isn't going to do anything. If they truly feel that they can make a point and stand up for what they believe in than boycott the game. Some players have discussed it. They won't do it of course, but it would be an incredibly historic moment that would go down in history if they did, and Id applaud them for it .

I think it would be unfair to all the players, coaches and fans who have been involved with the Clippers this season.

A lot of people have invested in some way and it would be unfair to them to not play because of a racist idiot.

I would like to see everyone openly ridicule Sterling. It was such a ridiculous, out dated statement for him to make that he should be treated with the respect he deserves and openly ridiculed as an idiot.

I heard a german comedian talking about how comedy can be the best weapon against offensive acts. If everyone laughs at it, it displays how it is not acceptable and not worthy of any sensible discussion or consideration.

I like the idea.
