Great great win in Orlando even without Crash!

I believe it's 6. And now we have a good chance to extend it to 7 in Indiana.

Awesome effort and win! Did not think we could win without Crash tonight. Great effort guys! Matching wins by Miami and the Bucks. Maybe the Raptors will drop one for us tonight.

Sorry Walt, I was wrong.

Magic announcers just said winning tonight for the Magic would have matched their longest winning streak and us winning matches ours.

Question to all the Hulk Haters:

Do you still hate the Hulk? What would he have to do to get that hatred funk washed off himself?

we need to beat Indiana in order to get our longest. Very doable, if we play like we did tonight. Hibbert is no D12

Why do people hate him, just because he's basically a training camp walk on? He's played better than anyone else we've had in the past from the d-league, 2nd round picks, or anything save for Matt Carroll.

Cartier Martin?
TMNT?
Tamar Slay?
B-Rob?

I'm sure there's more, but Hulk has been good this year. I wish he could get a more consistent shot though, he never seems to be able to make the big one that could swing momentum.

He's decent enough when he's playing well, so I guess it's more of a dislike of LB playing him when he's off than it is Hulk himself. Sometimes his shot selection kills us, but I can't really complain about it when he's hitting.

I'm not sure Rich. I'm not one of them. I like him.

Sometimes I think he tries to do a little too much (like put the ball on the floor, that sort of makes me cringe) but all in all I think he's been fine.

More than fine.

I think one his best attributes is his ability to finish at the rim with creative moves. That and he seems to be able to take the mid range jumper at a good rate which I wish more guys would do. higher % shots

You know, I've been thinking about it and I think that is why LB likes him. Hulk doesn't pass up shots. He doesn't really force them, but if he is open, he has the gonads to shoot.

He's a "i'll go with my 1st option and instinct" type of guy rather than a "ok, I caught the ball, what do I do with it now? Should I hold it, pass it, shoot it, or just stand here and poop myself?" and I think LB digs that about him.

Edit: I think this is the biggest difference between Hulk and Hendo - which is why LB goes with Hulk.

i kinda like hulk. i dont blame lb for playing him over hendo most nights. he plays tough defense, he has a decent jumper and he can iso when its absolutely needed. and when he isnt playing, he doesnt complain. he is what he is, a solid blue-collar bench guy.

I think people hate him because people want our 1st round to get some burn and grow as a player. I think hate is a strong word for Graham, I think its more fan frustration at LB for not player the rookie than anything directed at Graham. If people hated him, he'd have a worse nickname.
