Hornets Continue An Unfortunate Streak With Play-In Loss

The season has come to an end for the Charlotte Hornets.

Although there were hopes that this could be the year that the team takes it far into the postseason, they failed to make the playoffs on Wednesday night when they got routed 132-103 by the Atlanta Hawks in the play-in game.

Wednesday’s loss was not only a heartbreaker for excited fans, it also was a sad milestone.

The Hornets have now gone 18 straight seasons without a playoff series win, tied with the Kings and Timberwolves for the longest active streak in the NBA.

Charlotte has now gone 18 straight seasons without a single playoff series win.

This record is tied with the Sacramento King and Minnesota Timberwolves for the longest active streak in the NBA.

Since rejoining the league back in 2004, the Hornets haven’t won a playoff series.

There is a lot of young, promising talent on the team so when will the Hornets be able to have an actual playoff run?

 

Westbrook On The Way?

It’s very likely that some changes will be made to the Hornets’ roster this offseason.

The latest rumors have troubled Los Angeles Laker Russell Westbrook making his way to Charlotte in exchange for Gordon Hayward, Kelly Oubre, Mason Plumlee, and maybe some other contracts too.

The basic idea behind any restructuring is this: the Hornets want to keep Miles Bridges and superstar-in-the-making LaMelo Ball.

Would this deal help the Hornets or would it just get rid of some overweight contracts?

Charlotte is desperate to convert the power of its young core, such as Bridges and Ball, into success but they haven’t had much luck yet.

This is the second year in a row that they’ve been overpowered in the play-in game.

Last year they lost to the Indiana Pacers and this year they were taken down by the Hawks.

Hopefully next year their luck will change and they won’t even need to participate in the play-in because they have secured a spot in the playoffs.
