Interesting chess-match going on in the first half between Larry and Tony. Sixers finally found a group that had a definite advantage over Charlotte, but are still trailing by a bucket.
I expect the Sixers to win this one, the Bobcats try to do a lot of what the Sixers do, but have inferior players. They are playing smarter than the Sixers, however. Dileo was trying to reward Sammy, and they tried to give him the ball several times, but most have resulted in turnovers. I do blame Lou Williams for the one where he faked Sammy out, and I blame Royal Ivey for his turnover passing to Speights.
Sixers were trying to be a little too cute when they haven't played together long enough to know each other's tendencies. You don't pass to a big man outside, there's no point to it! I don't care how good their outside shot is, it will never be as good as a layup.
A little disapointed that Speights got pulled after he scored his first bucket, but I understand DiLeo's motives.
