It should be very different from not having enough point guard play to cover the whole game. Even if we only play 3 games it will be interesting. I would love to make the 8 seed because that would mean at least 8 more games

On the other hand, Marshall started as point guard last night (I  guess it was point as no one else could really dribble).  He had 8 assists and was our one conssisted offensive player last night.  He also has two years left on his contract at 9 million.  On the other hand, PJ looks really awkward trying to dribble and create.  He had 5 bad turover last night.  It seems like you can see the turnovers coming.  He has that go right into the body of the defender type move.  It leads to way too many turnovers.    PJ is also in his last year of his contact next year and what will he be looking for?  20 MIl?  25 Mil?  more?

I am not sure if I want Marshall as a starter but for the first time I started to think if I would prefer him better than PJ moving forward.

Sooner or later he will need to answer questions with the Dallas media.  He was awkward answering questions from the beginning and I have no idea how he does it now.  I wonder if he just exits stage left.  I don't think he will ever get the fans back on his side and I am not sure this reality is good for anyone long term.

Green was a dud from the start, and he has all the opportunity in the world to shine for the Hornets but is scared to take advantage of it.

DLive shared this on Instagram last night. Hope he's doing good.

We're not tanking though.

I'd like to think it has to do with not wanting to be embarrassed in elimination on our home floor. Probably more of an issue of "not wanting the important players to get hurt before our extended playoff run" self-delusion.
