French players work through heavy hearts after Paris attacks

“All my family and friends are OK”.

Ajinca wrote “Pray for Paris” on his sneakers and asked his Twitter followers to “Pray for my family and friends” prior to the game.

“Yeah, I was watching it”, Batum said after Friday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls’ latest win may have loosened them up a bit and I like them to win this game at home, but I think the Hornets deserve a little more credit for how they’ve been playing lately so I’m taking them with the points.

The top performer for the Hornets was Nicolas Batum who had a huge game for the team and scored his season high with 28 points on 10 of 17 shooting from the field and 5 of 6 from three. “Stupid people and I don’t know why they are doing that. I don’t know if anybody’s labeled it”.

A lot of people died for no reason. We now know for sure that the 3-point shooting is not a fluke, and that the Hornets are all in on making it a part of identity. “I wanted to play tonight really bad”, Noah said, according to ESPN. They told me Paris is like a war outside. He has a sister who lives near the site of one of the attacks.

“I thought about it all game”. He has topped 40 points in a game three times this season and his 52 3s are more than three teams have made all season. The number of casualties is expected to rise.

Noah lived in Paris from 1988 to 1998, and his dad won the French Open at Paris’ Roland Garros in 1983. Kaminsky was raised in the western suburbs and played high school basketball at Benet High School in Lisle, Ill.

“Jo was awesome. He had great pop, bounce”, coach Fred Hoiberg said. “I called my cousin’s family in Paris, they are all sad, all scared”. He also said that he would do “what’s best for the team”, but do not like coming off the bench. “It’s just scary. People are kind of scared to go out or to just do anything”.

Mirotić had a double-double performance in the win over the 76ers tallying 20 points and 10 rebounds, with one assist, and two steals. “You try to focus and do what you have to do but at the same time, your mind is there, your heart is there”.

“It’s just a tough, unfortunate situation”, Anthony said. I’m just praying for all of those people we lost and all the people who lost someone. “There’s a lot of things going on in the world”.

Noel, on the other hand, is originally listed as a power forwards but his length makes him good enough to play at the five position. France, we’ll do everything we can to stop things like that.
