Tonight's game hosting the Hornets is the 73rd game of the season. Of all the remaining opponents we play, the Hornets are the only ones who are surely not making the playoffs or play in tournament.
We win tonight, we get our 36th win of the season. OKC, Dallas and the Lakers all have 36 wins and they're the 8, 9, and 10 seeds, respectively. We need this win. I will be in the building having a good time rooting for a win. Sports is fun. Winning is fun. It is not that complicated.
