NBA Power Rankings: Battle for seeding priority of OKC Thunder and peers
As per usual the Hornets are the squad who is the most dysfunctional in the Association. Every time it seems they are headed for elimination they pull out a week of more wins than losses. Likewise, just as the Hornets seem poised to move upward and snatch a top-eight seed they produce a week of more losses than wins.
Such was the case in week 22 and now the Hornets sit on the precipice of being eliminated.
