If those available Hornets listed above are playing tonight, Charlotte should win easily. But it does not look like Ball has played since January.

Miller, Bridges, G.Williams all questionable. Get the champagne & confetti ready, the Blazers might snap their 10 game losing streak.

I think they will. They are wanting to prove they belong in the NBA, plus players dont care about tanking or not tanking they just want to win in any situation.

there aren't enough fans at Charlotte games to prove they won.

Vasilije Micic went on a mini rampage in Portland. 11//2/7 in 24m, 5-6 FG. Good tank coaching to keep him out.

I really wouldn't be surprised if Deandre's tendonitis flared up during warm ups. I think if he's playing it's going to be a really close one and I just don't understand what a win is worth at this point of the season. Seems like any win will have negative value for our franchise.

What happens if they win and we end up with same record at the end of the season, who gets better lottery odds?

The thing that annoys me most about Scoot is when he makes a bad play or turns it over, then jogs back looking bewildered and confused.
