Contract extension time:

Since I only signed Turner and Butler to 3 year deals, I can't extend them. I will have to let them hit FA and hope we can retain them...


2/26 -

WE travel to play Dallas. They are 16-38. We beat them easily the last time and are favored again.

It is a battle as they take a 10 point lead into the 4th, but we turn it on in the 4th and outscore them 37-22 in the quarter for a 105-100 win. Embiid was huge down the stretch as we went to him time and time again.

We win 105-100.

Embiid led all scorers with 22 points, 9 boards, and 2 blocks.

Cowen with 20 points, 6 assists, 4 boards, 1 steal, and 1 block.

Perkins added 20 points, 5 boards, and 3 assists.

Robinson with 11 points and 5 assists.



2/27 -

Tough back to back as we travel to New Orleans. They are 18-40 and are the least talented team in the league. We are favored to win despite the tired legs...


We come out flat, but I rotate heavily and we have a huge 2nd quarter as our defense bears down for a 22-6 quarter. That helps give us a 10 point lead and we turn up our offensive efficiency to glide to a 108-96 win.

Cowen starred with 25 points, 12 assists, 3 boards, 1 steal, and only 1 turnover. He shot 10 of 17.

Perkins added 21 points, 11 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals, and a block. He shot 6 of 10 and 9 of 9 from the line.

Turner with 21 points, 6 assists, and 3 boards as I gave him more minutes this game.

Embiid added 20 points, 9 boards, and a block. He shot 9 of 17.

Noel was hurt in the game but it is minor - twisted ankle.

Former #13 pick (2016) Jack Parker led the Hornets with 23 points and 8 boards at PF.
