actually Bally is apparently not showing, accordind to the channel guide.

It's on Bally Southeast Plus and the Miami feed.

So far Ball has missed everything including a dumb super long 3 pointer attempt, Cody Martin has tried to go coast to coast when that's just not his game, PJ has missed most of his shots, and Bridges hasn't looked that good either. On the plus side, McDaniels looks alright.

I don't want to see Richards play another minute. He's just bad.

Much better second quarter.

Fun game overall and it's preseason, so the loss doesn't count. The Miami broadcast team were very good at their jobs. They weren't total homers, they were well researched, and very fair throughout the game. They seemed to me more like two old guys talking about a game they were watching than an actual broadcast duo.

Blew a 13 pt lead

Some of the same issues are present and will probably hold us back but it was to be expected. Playoffs are a possibility but I'm going to be realistic about our chances in the East. All I ask is they make it worth watching. At least we have the Hornets to fall back on should the Panthers keep doing what they do.

Plumlee is back for tonights game.  6:30 on ESPN against Dallas.

Zack Lowe has the Hornets at #5 on his list of fun teams to watch this season.

Not a good first quarter by the Hornets. Hornets just don't play well in national televised games.

defense is ugly, especially on the breaks

[jayboogieman]

So is the offense and it's not like the Mavs are playing good defense either.
