I would rather see a Knick-Net series, but lets face it, winning is GOOD. I am rather impressed with this banged up bunch whom could have folded two weeks ago and looked like they were going to get shut out. Marbury was banged up, Allan out, and others hurting also!

But they have found ways to win, not great wins mind you, Gettng blown out against the nets and indy were not masterpieces, but they have at least elevated to the mid tier, and the bench play of Sweets and Demarr is nice for the future. Good young players! Sweets makes thomas expendable, or Sweets could get traded for perhaps a draft pick that thomas covets?

Management might prefer to lose to Detroit as losing to the nets hurts publically. Who knows, maybe it gives Sheed a good look at us and knowing he could be the big man here might be appealing?

In any event, Frank is back playing, bench play is strong, which pressures the starters for playing time, or that sense of urgency that pushes players to higher limits. TO vault to 6 seed will make the team better not just this year, but next.

And that pick to Phoenix loses more value!

( I am happy Lampe is getting lots of time in PHX, I still like the kid!)

right I'd love for them to win tommorow but there's no way they are beating Detroit. The Hornets have a better shot. Let them try to do it.

none of this matters if the Hornets beat the Wizards

Good point, the post the AM says the same, we better against Detroit than trying to keep up with the Nets.

Six seed, go down 4-2 against detroit would make for a nice turnaround season and hope for next year. A few tweeks here, a blockbuster there, and next year can be fun!

Of course, an upset in the playoffs is always more fun!
