Well
The team’s rounding into form. Last year, we ranked 4th in offensive efficiency and 7th in defensive heading into the playoffs.
After a slow start, we’ve rebounding to the 5th best offense and 10th best defense, and we still haven’t had a healthy starting lineup for even 5 straight games. At full health, it seems more and more like this is a top 3 offensive and top 5 defensive team at the very least. Very few other teams can boast such success at both offense and defense.

Don't know what kind of playing time we'll for him
But Mo is nailing shot after shot from the corner in warm-ups.

Seriously.
Yet Devin keeps missing 3 after open 3. When will Byron finally see that his STARTER is a better back-up than his third best shooting guard?

West + Chandler =
7/7, 14 pts, 5 rbs. Nice.

Crap.
Posey seriously limping on the floor. To his credit, he could barely stand and he was still waveing to CP for the ball. Be then sat on the bench for about 20 seconds before heading to the locker room.

Mo!!
For 3! Nice.
Unfortunately I’m at work and can’t see the game… just following the play-by-play box score on ESPN. How are we looking? From whatt I can tell we had a chance to run away with it… but didn’t. What is it with us and Sactown? They are not a good team but seem to match up really well agaisnt us. Didn’t they beat the Hornets twice last year?

Oh and...
Posey is hurt? What happened and did it look serious?

I guess he's okay.
He’s back on the floor and seems to be moving okay. TT6 insists it’s because she just bought a Posey jersey.

Y'all at home missed the greatest.
I’ll just put it out there. Mo Pete, TC, and Bowen on the jumbotron, beboxing Jingle Bells. Fill on the blanks. It got an ovation.

That sounds awesome. I don’t think they showed it on TV…

We are going to try and get it from the Hornets org and post it...
…we’ll keep you updated.

Hornets only turned it over 4 times...
That’s terrific. Even more terrific… not a single one of those turnovers came from the bench players.
Quiet game for West.. 14 pts/4 boards, and bad game for D. Brown – his shooting, compared to Peterson’s shooting.. well it speaks for itself. Didn’t actually see the game but I’m happy with the win! 16-7 sounds pretty nice.
the Lakers are not looking anywhere close to unstoppable like they did the first 15 games or so, got beat by Orlando tonight… hopefully we can beat LA and Orlando this week.

Definitely one to forget, that's for sure
It’s nice to see the Lakers dropping a few games. They’ve lacked the defensive intensity of their first 10 games. Really shows you how special the Celtics D of last year (and this year again) was. It’s hard to maintain defensive focus for 82 games, let alone 20. Remember the Strong Side Zone that everyone was oohing and aahing about? It seems totally gone now…

Damn, we played well enough tonight...
…that I forgot we were missing one of our best players. We’re so great.

"We're so great"
Hahaha. Truer words have not been spoken

I am right there with you
Every time Mo made a play I leapt up. I miss him! Look how great he was in the second half when Devin Brown was benched.
