Sion is good, man.

Sexton came to play.

Really great job hanging in there after that 3pt barrage.

Melo looks locked in, I loved seeing him dive in to scrap with Embiid for that loose ball. A couple of lazy turnovers but otherwise a good game for him so far.

Very worried about Miller.

How is being dragged down from behind not a foul?

We might take too many 3s even for my liking…

When they go down it’s great. When they don’t it makes me want to go all out fight clubber on myself.

Missing out on VJ by one pick was so brutal.

Left shoulder is better than the wrist for Brandon. I’ll take that as somewhat good news. I think. Hell I don’t know.

Season is too long for you to fight Clubber every time they are missing good look 3s. Gonna have to rename it cte-lp.

I might owe Charles Lee an apology.

The story of that half for the Hornets was resilience. That 3pt avalanche was rough, and they shot themselves in the foot with way too many mindless turnovers, but despite all that it's only a three point game.

Melo is playing like a franchise player tonight. If he brings it like this on both ends all season it would be huge.

Sion is going to be a fan favorite. He hustles like a Martin. He's been awesome.

Did you notice when Lamelo dove in against embiid for that loose ball and Lee ran out onto the court and was like **** yeah let’s go. That’s all he wants from Lamelo is to just try and be competitive on that end. Doesn’t have to be Gary Payton or anything just give effort

Kon is completely holding his own on D. He is not a liability there so far. That lefty layup was also pretty nice.
Hornets were sloppy and the 76ers were ho but we are still in it!

Miller grabs various places all over his left arm, I saw thumb, wrist and elbow. Didn’t see shoulder, but that makes me worry it’s a nerve thing initiating from there and heading to extremities. Hopefully nothing.

Yea, he’s been totally fine on that end from what I’ve noticed. Kalkbrenner having a tough time, but probably net positive experience to get acclimated to nba bigs for an old rookie.

The game is not anywhere near as close as the score would indicate.

Agreed, Hornets should be up way more.
