If we lose this game, that will be a major blow to this team. Must win.

My stream was briefly showing the beginning of the player intros and Philly's crowd was absolutely silent while the Hornets were being introduced. I was momentarily intrigued by their strategy to simply ignore the opposing team rather than boo them during introductions. Then I realized it's probably because there are more people on the court than in the crowd.

Apart from the little slump Marv had about a month ago my word has he been good.

Super consistent.

Ever notice how Charlotte rarely passes on the fast break? It seems the players like to keep the ball to themselves and take it in for the layup, even when there is a trailing player with a better angle, as just happened with Batum and Lee. I find this very odd, as if they do not trust each other.

Al is about to feast.

Yeah, but this is a really good matchup for him.

That's twice now our guys--Lee and Lin--have jumped into the shooter and gotten a foul called on the other team. Kyle Lowry can do this, but usually when the defender is off balance, not when the shooter is lunging out.

He is totally legit, in contrast to PJ

What a block by Marv!

Not much interest in this game, either, I guess. The Sixers are now 5-9 from three, and some of those have been very long.
