Charlotte Hornets coach Steve Clifford would love to see what sort of damage center Dwight Howard could do in a playoff series, come late April and early May.
It would be fun; it’s been forever since a player of Howard’s playoff resume (10 appearances, including the 2009 run with Orlando to the NBA Finals) has been part of the local NBA team. However, a prerequisite to participation in late April is productivity in late January. Right now, the Hornets are running out of graces.
They lost to the New Orleans Pelicans at home Wednesday, 101-96.
