Charlotte Hornets PLAYOFF path | Biggest Post-All-Star Break Questions | LaMelo Ball UNLOCKS offense

NOTE: This episode was recorded BEFORE reports of a car crash involving LaMelo Ball. We'll have more on that as we get details. --db The Charlotte Hornets are emerging from the All-Star break with a legitimate opportunity to make franchise history. We look at the statistical path required to secure an outright playoff spot, noting that a 20-7 finish could allow the team to skip the Play-In tournament entirely. While that sounds like a tall order, the squad has maintained a top-tier net rating over the last twenty games, proving they can compete with the elite tier of the Eastern Conference. The focus remains on whether the team can maintain this momentum while navigating the final games of the Moussa Diabate and Miles Bridges suspensions. Central to this postseason push is the unique impact of LaMelo Ball. Despite career lows in several shooting efficiency metrics, the offense performs at an elite level with him on the floor, trailing only Nikola Jokic in total offensive impact. We examine why Ball serves as the essential foundation for the roster and whether his self-created scoring will need to take a leap once defenses tighten up in a seven-game series. Additionally, we address the integration of Coby White and how his presence off the bench might alleviate the scoring burden on the starters. With a challenging schedule featuring multiple matchups against Boston and New York looming at the end of April, the margin for error is razor-thin. This is no longer about just being a competitive young group; it is about proving the Hornets belong in the conversation for the top five teams in the East.
