If any chatters last night were wondering why I vanished in the third quarter and never returned, I was having some weird laptop issues, but it looked like it was OK again this morning.

The starters played well in the first quarter, so I don't know what happened in the second and third periods with those guys. They were mailing it in and not executing at all on offense. Thankfully, they went back to Sheed in the low post in crunch time, and the refs swallowed their whistles on the last putback attempt by CBell.

Nazr actually played OK in his brief 2nd quarter appearance. We were all theorizing in chat that he's being displayed as trade bait, though we'll know that for sure by the deadline tomorrow. Delfino got some steals and made some nice hustle plays on both ends, but man is he out of sync on his outside shot. His misses last night were painfully far off.
