Monday night's loss at Golden State was a weird one for the Hornets. Charlotte was able to stay within striking distance for most of the game, but it felt like they were facing insurmountable odds all game. There are some positives to take away from the loss — heck, I would have gladly taken a ten-point loss against what looks more and more like a historically good defending NBA champion without Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Al Jefferson and Nicolas Batum, but the Hornets are quickly approaching the territory where they can no longer afford moral victories.
