Hornets beat 76ers

[JJman Returns]

And how have now won two in a row. First time over .500 since the first game last season. To celebrate, I leave this

76ers are turrible, but I will certainly take the W.

Nice win for the guys.

I would be very concerned if we lost to Philly. I'll take a W though any day of the week. lol

Concerns about jahlil okafor's ability to defend at the next level appear warranted....

To be fair, Al is going to be a tough cover for any young player, but yeah, JO is certainly living up to the "next Big Al" billing, although he's much further along in his development at that age than Al was.

Since Okafor has a higher ceiling, I would love to "rescue" Nerlens Noel from that team, as he appears to be the coordinated version of Biyombo and could be that protection at the rim this team desperately needs. He has a contract coming up and Philly is experimenting with him at the 4 and predictably the results are bad.

They love to take on lottery talent that hasn't quite panned out so I'd throw in Zeller, PJ and a protected 1st and see if Hinkie bites. Heck, throw Covington in, too. I like him and we need some wings.

It sucks that the East actually doesn't look like an assimilation of the leagues most mediocre teams this season. We will have to win 41  games to have a shot at the playoffs

It really does though. No team is really good, but only the Sixers and Nets are bad. There are a lot of teams right around .500

I don''t consider .500 mediocre. Last year teams got in winning only 36 games
