we can't get the 6 seed. best case even with Kemba is the 7. 8 seed is a possibility but highly unlikely. it makes complete sense to tank bc even making the 8 really isn't worth it. better draft pick is more important than getting swept by Atlanta

having said all that, i hope we keep pushing for the 8 seed. it makes no sense from a bball sense but this franchise needs a playoff win and we need to keep riding the momentum from the hornets comeback to a playoff appearance.

after this complete reboot of the franchise, it would be an awful look to just tank. lose a lot of goodwill that the name change brought

this probably makes no sense to most around the league, but if you're from this city/grew up with the hornets, it makes 100% sense
if kemba's hurt, we have to tank. don't think there's a choice really. we just tied too much money up in him to risk permanent damage to him

i wasn't implying we play him. fully expect us to make a move and make an effort compete for a playoff spot even with no kemba

Detroit just lost Jennings for the year. it's us and garbage ass Brooklyn. we will shoot for the 8 regardless of kemba playing or not

hornets gear is severely lacking so which one should i get? the site has them for super cheap but i've gotten a lillard rip city jersey from them before and its completely legit

I have been optimistic about Lance and been a huge fan all season but his jumper is completely broken and for every good play he makes theres a bad play to follow it:ld: I still think he's gonna be a great player but this team just might not be a good fit for him and if he's gonna play like he's been playing then we need to trade him for literally anything we can get:ld:

We could get some good value if we traded him and Al
