Nothing is worse than missing the play-in. Nothing. Being a playoff team every day of the season except the last day is Peak Hornets.

I get that losing 3/4 of the roster to injuries and protocols severely limits us, but if we lose out and the Bulls win out, I mean, it just reinforces the fact that this franchise will never make the postseason again. There’s some sort of sports curse hovering above Charlotte and it’s been there since 1987.

We will most likely still make the play in, but making it losing 5 in a row would be gross.

Strongly disagree. All we have to do is stay healthy and either bring in a new Center or start playing Carey. This team is REALLY good.

Going to need some good output from him this week.

Let’s see if he’s got it in him when we really need him.

When he's good he's good. When he's bad he's awful. Never got the hype, and probably never will. Hope he gets back on track.

Willy Hernangómez is better than PJ Washington.

Disprove this statement.

He's four years older and is a far inferior defender and shooter.

He's more experienced and is a far superior physical presence and offensive post player.
