Final record: 44-38, sixth seed?

[Eggcentric@xxxxxxx]

While our wins have gotten narrower and narrower and our losses wider 
and wider, our record stands at 40-34 with eight games remaining.  
Surprisingly, we are only two games off last year's pace.  Not bad so
far for a season filled with catastrophes, controversy, and confusion. 

Last season we went 7-1 in April. This season 4-4 in April seems more 
likely with a final record guesstimated at 44-38 vs. last season's 49-33.

Apr 2   Miami   
Apr 4   Sacramento  
Apr 6   Washington  
Apr 9   @ Washington    
Apr 10  Philadelphia    
Apr 12  @ Orlando   
Apr 13  @ Miami 
Apr 16  Detroit  

If the playoffs were to be held today, as sixth seed we would face third 
seed Philly in the first round.  

If the draft were to be held today, we would select #17 and with
our Philly pick, #22.

Concerning the Philly pick, I would prefer to weep at joy than joy 
at weeping.  So maybe we can finally do something smart and choose a 
sleeper at #22.  After all, it cost us a #11 pick (Moiso) along with the
penalty of having to pay McLeod $1.5 million rocking chair money for 
one season. 

Speaking of Moiso, he has played in 44 games with the Hornets this 
season.  He is presently averaging 12 MPG, 3.9 PPG, 3.4 RPG - not 
exactly the expected stuff of a lottery pick in his third season.
