We did it boys! Longest losing streak in franchise history. Maybe now that we've accomplished the impossible they'll have a let down game and win one. Would be a nice change of pace to upset Charlotte instead of the other way around.
Despite going 3-4 over the past two weeks, the Hornets have been a top-10 team in efficiency differential over that period. Essentially they've been a red hot offense and a mediocre defense. After years of drafting in the high-lottery, their blue chip prospects are blooming and the future looks bright in North Carolina.


Guarantees & Tony Bradley
Micah Potter's contract was guaranteed this week and the Pacers brought back Tony Bradley on a 10-day after waiving him to avoid his guarantee date.
