I will be at the game tonight:



Usually we sit in the corner behind the Visitor's bench.  I had to get 5 tickets for this game, so the search for tickets was made a little bit harder.  These 5 (section 103, row J) popped up a couple nights ago, so I grabbed them.

It is "Fan Appreciation Night", the game is on a Saturday evening and the game is against a quality away team (us), so good seats were both hard to get and a bit pricier.

Amir and Young both out this game. Illness bug. Don't they have handi-wipes in the locker room?

ME: Ok Kelly, here's your chance to be a hero and turn this Celtic, and your own, mini-slump around.

Not a good start.

lucky we got that kick call. It was going the other way fast

nobody helped Kelly. He gets the block but nobody is dropping down for the rebound so Batum got it back and a layup

Smart, Crowder are playing for the whistle. Take a good shot and if there's a foul, then take it.

IT showing signs of fatigue. His legs are going a bit. Time to rest him for the playoffs, Brad. At least cut back on his minutes and let the bench get some reps.

Bob Weiss a Charlotte assistant! Some of these coaches have more than 9 lives.

Paul Silas son taking over after Clifford gets the boot

71 first half points. Seems to be something magical about that number, this is like the 3rd time in a week a team has done that. Phoenix last night, Celtics tonight and Atlanta two days ago.

Hey ktronic. Thought I was going to be in a an echo chamber tonight.

After a couple of really crappy shooting games we're 62.8% in the 1st half.

Yeah. Notice him falling down and slipping a lot lately.

He is a physical presence down low isn't he.  No wonder Cow always compares him to Silas!

There you are!

IT with 19. Let him get 1 more, so he gets his 20, then sit him down.
