That's just the front of the t-shirt.

On the back it says "lose as individuals"

Maybe they mistook it for "only win one" which we have already done, so they are relaxing now.

Lets change it to "just win one"

"win one"

then on the back:

"1-81"

They fought hard. At least I can say that. But Jax is a TO machine, and that hurts.

until jax gets a handle of his turnovers we arent winning many games. despite two awful turnovers in the 1st quarter jax was very aggressive, looking to score and taking it to the rim. jax's aggressive play seemed to be infectious and the rest of the team was very aggressive behind him.

after he came back in the 2nd quarter he was a different player. once again he started holding the ball too long, forces passes, passing when he should have been looking to score. he was a trainwreck the rest of the game and he knows it.

jax has to stop thinking like a point guard and start thinking like a scoring machine. when he is aggressive and looking to score his play making instincts will eventually lead to easy buckets for everyone else.

hats off to tyrus who played his ass off tonight.

i liked how dj was pushing the ball up the floor, but when his jumper is off he is pretty much useless in the halfcourt sets.

I wonder if Gary Neal will hit 5 threes in a single game again for the rest of the season - or for his career for that matter?

You'd think that Larry Brown would have made some in game adjustments as soon as he (and Manu for that matter) started going off, but just like the playoffs last season, Larry once again shows he has an inability to adjust - regardless of if it costs us the game or not.

Just like not having a shot blocker on the court during the last posession Vs the Magic that cost us the game.

He didn't have a shot blocker on the court because the one player on the Magic who drives into the lane (VC) got hurt. Wallace has to do a better job of not allowing the jump shooting Q Rich to take it to the rim but after Wallace got screened by Howard Boris did not cut him off at the foul line after they switched.They weren't going to pass it to Howard because we would have fouled him so looking at the perimeter players on the Magic, none of them should have beaten our guys to the hoop. Blame the players for poor defense and rotations, not LB on that one.

LB is an instructor, not a bench coach. He hates that part, remember?
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

wasnt boris the one who was late getting over to cut off manu last night as well? i love boris when he is man vs man, but his rotations in the team defense can be frustrating at best. i also dont understand why LB had dj in the game on that last defensive play. seems like livingston would have been better in that situation. i think LB was thinking too far ahead and wanted dj in their for the following play (assuming spurs missed).

Yeah Boris was late but also DJ was standing right there to the side of the hoop and watched Manu go right by him.

LB had DJ in (Cringed when I saw that) but he wasn't going to put Jax back in so it was either have Livingston cover Parker with Henderson at the 2 or DJ guarding Parker with Livingston at the 2. He chose the latter. Augustin replaced Henderson not Livingston.
