When Marvin Williams says he believes the Charlotte Hornets are progressing, I agree; they are better than they were in October and better than they were in January.
When Williams says he believes — with conviction — the Hornets will still make the playoffs, that’s where we diverge. I think the team going 1-3 in this homestand, even considering the last two of those losses were to Western Conference powers Golden State and Houston, puts them in a predicament.
Yes, they are still clinging to eighth place in the Eastern Conference, which would be the last playoff spot at the end of the season.
