When I first tuned in, I was a little disappointed to see that it was such a close game, but looking back now, it looks like there were other circumstances (Wallace not playing for so long, Augustin getting hurt, etc), so I guess it's a little more understandable. It seems like Washington had been playing better lately, too.

LB post game:

The reason it was great was that Felts got hurt and then came back, Dj got hurt so guys like Ammo, Howard and Shannon playing well off the bench.

Most satifying win so far.

Raja is like a vet and he makes a big difference, along with Howard and Nazzy, in the locker room.

Didn't care that Crash didn't shoot. He thought that Crash had no energy, wasn't running hard enough or rebounding well so he sat him. When Ammo was in he was playing well so he saw no reason to take him out for Crash.

Shannon did a wonderful job.

DJ got hurt in the Boston game. He got popped tonight and he felt a "pop". They don't think it's a sports hernia.

We allowed them to shoot something like 71% for the 1st two qtrs.

Crash was really, really out of sorts. He wasn't playing for long because he wasn't playing well.

Say what you want about Felts but at least he almost always answers the bell.

Go Bobcats! At least they didn't get blown out when they needed to step up.

All heart, all the time.

In an age and league full of prima donna's. it's refreshing and I appreciate having a guy on the roster who is all about the team/game.

:clap: for your heart Raymond Felton.

Indeed, second your BRAVO to Felton. This is typical of his determination and heart. If he can EVER channel his efforts into better shooting and decision-making he has many other qualities of a star.

DJ is getting hurt more often, and I'm getting a little concerned about his durability. I suspect Felts will stay the remainder of the year and become an offseason S & T.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

for dj, two consecutive, non-related injuries, in less than a month. it is concerning, but also, most likely just coincidence and not something to worry about long term.
