Jack Bedrosian echoes what I said about the team's lack of effort in "No Hustle, No Heart." Mind you, I had not seen the Hornets play in almost a month. They looked soft and weak-willed.

I saw the video and that is just classic player speak(kind of like wwe wrestlers talking about how great they are). You really think these guys were just chilling, planning on sleeping through the game, then heard Batum and decided to bring it? These are professional NBA players that always have a reason to play hard and that is $$$. Charlotte is in a downward spiral and Philly had our number last night, whether Batum opened his mouth or not. Team got outrebounded by 10+ rbs again. We're doomed without Zeller.

Spin it however you'd like. Hendo text the whole Philly team to make sure they knew about the guarantee. It played a huge factor.

A huge factor? Philly won by 6 and Charlotte has lost how many of their past 20 games? Why would Philly even take Batum seriously? He almost sounded mentally challenged to even be making a guarantee with the way this team has been playing. The team beat themselves, Philly didn't beat them.
