I don't think they deserve to make it anymore. Yeah, LaMarcus is injured, but something is just fundamentally wrong with the team. Not sure if it's coaching or players, but they're not trying anymore. I hate to say it, but I hope they don't make the playoffs. Making the playoffs would only reward the kind of basketball they're playing. Losing basketball.
It would make it more difficult for Stotts to come back, plus they'd have a shot at winning the lottery. Also, who wants to watch this team get swept in the playoffs?
Prediction: Stotts will come back Charlotte will receive the top 12 protected draft pick I don't even want to think about the playoffs
I would be less inclined to melt down if the team showed even a modest amount of urgency in dealing with the collapse. I doubt missing the play-offs would have enough of a financial impact to get their attention....but you have to start somewhere.
Anyone who has followed this team the whole season has the righ to "melt down." We have completely collapsed. It went south before Aldridge got hurt but him being hurt hasn't helped. We have just lost resoundingly to Charlotte and Orlando, two sub500 teams. We are playing with no confidence while the 6th thru 9th West teams are playing well. Memphis, Phoenix, and Dallas all have the tiebreaker over us. If you're not concerned, you're not paying attention.
To answer the question, if we get in, we get in. Playoff experience is necessary for the future of this team even if they get swept.
What do you mean by "they don't deserve it?" If they win enough games to make the playoffs, then they deserve it.
I've decided I'm going to be critical now. I've had their back all season. That has gone up on flames along with their season
You said they don't deserve to make the playoffs. I'm pretty sure making the playoffs is based on record, not on spunk or whether or not you're a good person. I do call your conclusion crazy.
well, deserve it in the sense that they've played below .500 ball for a long time now. They stopped playing defense, stopped giving effort, and stopped showing like they care. Thats what i mean.
