Likely another nail in Lee's coffin. Not all his fault though, I do believe there are guys on the team who take no accountability and perform at their best when faced with substitute teacher-like authority.

This is the game where it all turns around. The arc of progress is dramatically bent upward by sheer force of will. All future glory will be traced back to this day, the day when it all began anew. In 20 years a bronze statue of Taj Gibson is unveiled in front of the Spectrum Center titled 'Players Only Meeting' depicting a young Tijuan Saluan sitting on the kindly veteran's knee as he explains to the future Finals MVP how boxing out is done.

Or we just get punked again by the **** Wizards.

Definitely one of those two possibilities.

Lacks scoring and a culture-setter. Grant on the floor for 6 out of 7 wins, so who steps up to lead now?

Interested to see what changes have been made, team is basically full strength, not a lot of excuses.

I suppose when you’ve started so many games so poorly, to not have a massive deficit at the end of the first is an improvement.

Effort has been high from both teams, the Hornets are just making more silly mistakes. Cody in particular was sleepwalking through his minutes. What's concerning is that the Wizards seem more organized.

Mark and Nick are team cripplingly awful defenders. Very discouraging
