Second night of a back-to-back on the road. The C's played horrible, the Bobcats got lucky and shot like 99% from deep. Considering all that happened, and they stilled pulled out a win, that's just great to me. The C's just don't pull out games like that in past seasons.
I'd also like to remind the people obsessing over Orlando, we lost by TWO, on THE ROAD. We had a flukey/terrible first half and were down 20 late in the 3rd quarter. We came back to take the lead. They lost the lead at the end (thanks to some nonstop Turkoglu 3's, boneheaded turnovers and horrendous phantom calls in Orlando's favor.). Given all that, is losing by TWO points on the road to Orlando really a statement game? I really don't think so. The C's have the best margin of victory by FAR (like +10 over San Antonio). They've had some relatively poor games thus far and have had to win a few close ones (lost one close one too). It happens.
Again, this is NOVEMBER, usually teams w/ practically an entirely new core takes a few months to get going. The C's are 11-1. Can't ask for any better. They'll only get better and better as the months go on (and next season).
PS: San Antonio and Phoenix just got spanked by jv teams. No one's perfect.
