Charlotte gives up easily... down by 13 with 2minutes to go and they put in their scrubs. They never heard of 13 in 33 i guess
no not the record, but playing style , i like the active style and athleticism, ever since bargs left things got better, thx to lowry too record wise they played some garbage teams like rox did, too soon to speak on that
Lakers look better but WTF is wrong with Charlotte? Those guys just beat Miami a few days ago and tonight they not only lose but look rather clueless. Lance Stephenson is such a wild card. Crashing the boards but that shooting number is ugly and he looks lost. Clifford seems to trust Gary Neal more than he does Lance.
Charlotte was never a EC contender. But I like to see them as a lower Playoff seed in the East at best.

To be fair, the Lakers team look ok on paper when swaggyp gets back. And we all hate Boozer but he still got it after all these years. Lin Kobe Young Boozer Hill But their bench is jokes lol except for Ed Davis.
The Lakers were pretty lucky tonight-- more than a fair share of their contested jumpers went in, especially Boozer's. They also hit not very easy shots to beat the clock. Their spacing still looks weird but the Bobcats were even worse. Kenna Walker has the speed to beat Lin or Price off the dribble but there often wasn't much space to work with once he gets past the initial defender. The Lakers finally won a gamend it is no coincidence that it happened when they finally attempted and made more 3s than the opposing team. And it is no accident that they turned things around when they stop giving corner 3s to the likes of Marvin Williams. I don't think Lin somehow played that much better tonight than some prior nights, but the team did better working around him. He still got himself into bad situations into the paint but there were outlets for him to find-- often Jordan Hill with an open J. He also got some catch and shoot 3s and a transition layup and those are the kind of shots to boost a guy's efficiency. Nobody can really be all that efficient if he had to create everything going 1 on 5 all the time.
Reminder, we are tied for the best record in the NBA with Memphis and Toronto and we have the 2nd best DIFF (11.0) and PA (90.9) in the league.
