Hornets getting torched and ole Dwight is smiling away.

Yeah it just makes me scratch my head.  Imagine if he had KG's mentality.  He'd be a true force on a winning team.  Instead he's just a clown.
He could've been anything with the right brain. Even while he was goofing around in his prime he was unstoppable on both ends. Such a waste

Yup.  I mean there's nothing wrong with trying to have fun on the court, but when it comes time to stop clowning around and play with a mean streak he's nowhere to be found.  If he's not involved in the game offensively, everything else drops off.  He stops setting good screens for his teammates and plays halfheartedly on defense.

He was a specimen in his younger years, but you could tell that he could never be the best player on a championship team when he played against the Lakers in the finals.  He spent half the game whining to the referees, and never adapted and took it on himself to play better.  Not surprisingly the Magic got smoked.

Anyone else notice how we are using the same action around the foul line for Tatum as we used last year for Bradley?

No, not until you mentioned it but I wish the C's would run the same play for Rozier....and he learns to make them.  That along with hard backdoor cuts along the baseline resulting in easy layup or dunks (rozier certainly has the hops) just like AB.

Same guy, both questionable calls to start the quarter. Something to monitor.

Not to my recollection. 

What did we do during halftime, have a vodka drinking contest?

Of course. We can never just have an easy one, and we always got to let them right back in the game with dumb turnovers and poor possessions.

Energy is not at the same level. Its not about them making shots and us missing them. Our energy is the catalyst, not the result.

And we have seen this before. The depressing part is our bench played lights out in the 1st half which means they wiill probably suck this half. Starters gotta get this lead back up.

God, Al has to seriously clean up his passes. He's been terrible this year with dumb passes leading to turnovers.

Yeah let's set Baynes up for 3.  That's great offense right there.
