On April 14, the NBA playoffs ended a focus battle, the Hornets lost 103-132 to the Hawks, regrettably out, officially missed the playoffs. Because the Hornets are tenth in the regular season, they must win both games if they want to advance to the playoffs, and all of them are away, but unfortunately they did not pass the game against the Hawks, and the overall momentum was obviously not as good as the opponent, Bauer and others did not feel good, facing the imposing Hawks. They regretted the defeat, so the Hornets were officially out and missed the playoffs, which was a pity.
During the play-offs, O'Neill, who was a commentator, was with Barkley and the like, during which he uttered a startling statement, saying, "If the Hornets win, I'll put my hand in the honeycomb." Buckley laughed badly.
Apparently O'Neill won the bet, and he predicted success, and the Wasps were eliminated and defeated by the Eagles, so that O'Neill did not have to put his hand into the honeycomb, and it was also a disaster. Of course, if the Wasp is the winning party, O'Neill, who believes that he has made a promise in public, will not break his word, and he can reach into the honeycomb with a protective gear.
In the history of the NBA, there are many commentators who have made bold remarks, which have aroused heated discussion, in addition to this O'Neal reaching into the honeycomb, the most talked about is that Yao Ming used his performance to beat the legendary Barkley. Barkley made a bet with his partner Kenny Smith that if Yao could score more than 19 points, he would kiss Smith's ass. As a result, Yao Ming scored 20 points and 6 rebounds against the Lakers, and led the team to victory at the same time. Buckley also made good on his promise, kissing the donkey's ass.
For the Hornets, they made a lot of progress last season and made it to the playoffs, but unfortunately didn't make the playoffs. This season is naturally hoping to go further, but helplessly in the regular season stage they were once in the top of the East, but the later unstable performance made them fall to the tenth place in the East, no chance to get through the playoffs, and participate in the playoffs, or away from home.
There is also Hayward's injury is a big impact on the Hornets, last season the Hornets scored in the playoffs, and at the same time had a good performance, and Hayward, who returned perfectly from a serious injury, has a lot to do with his stable and excellent performance, and led the team with the three-goal Ball, which is eye-catching. Now Hayward is plagued by injuries and has no chance to compete, which also makes the Hornets difficult. At the same time, the unstable side of the three-goal Ball was also shown, which also allowed the opponent to be targeted.
In this way, the Hornets are officially out, missing the playoffs, ending all the games of the season, and hoping that the future Hornets can be targeted to strengthen and make a comeback next season.
