We might be ****, but at least we aren't cursed

 

There was absolutely no reason why Holiday didn't play unless he was injured.

 

@MystikArkitect

Green 55.56%TS%

Sengun 52.61 TS%

Thompson 50.94 TS%

Jabari Smith 48.08 TS%

VavVleet. 35.43 TS%

Brooks 16.67 TS%

These are our highest minute guys.

Jalen Green settled a bit too much. But when you isolate him as the fault when he literally has the highest scoring efficiency on a horrible night where everyone was inefficient says a lot about your bias. Saying Sengun did fine with 52% ts is kinda insane and an insult to the standards of Alpi.

 

I kinda like NOP they don't deserve to suffer like we do. I want Jabari to quit basketball, get MtF sex reassignment surgery and be a nun.

 

It's so obvious you skip over Alperen Sengun's low IQ turnovers & defense. How ironic

 

I can’t understand how Amen had the worst +\- with -19. Seemed like he played some good minutes. Weird.

 

Reed is playing hurt? Wtf? Why? Apparently the "deepest team in the league" needs to play injured players? Get in the bin

 

Sengun wasn't as good on offense as I recall, but was the only guy rebounding all game.

A combined 5-23 from FVV and Brooks should force a lineup change, 2-7 from Smith isn't far behind.

 

I thought the 3rd quarter we ****ed around too much shooting 3's. If Jalen Green shoots 15 three pointers every game, it is most likely the rockets will lose.

Jalens job is to collapse the defense and kick it to the open shooter or use his athleticism and manufacture a layup.

 

Ime has to check Fred shooting percentage. He almost had the worst shooting in guards. Lol

Ime Is gonna play Fred 40 minutes next game.

 

Everyone but the “big three” cheeks
Two highest paid players & “veteran leaders” cheeks
Udoka’s offense cheeks
And if my guy has a bad back, sit him and get him “healed”

 

The dude who had the highest scoring efficiency out of the main rotation?

 

I hope some of you all have relaxed by now and gotten the overreaction out of the way. Can we talk some ball now?

One thing I saw tonight that I would like to see a lot more off is Green in motion going downhill. This seems like a lot more effective to get Green his buckets efficiently while keeping the offense flowing. Sengun was really forcing it tonight, he shouldn't of struggled scoring on some of these guys, but for whatever reason he was in a rush, not really worried about him but just want him to feast on teams like this. Good stat line but not very efficient.

I do want to see more Cam in the line up if Brooks is going to stink it up offensively. When Jabari is not having a good night, I would love to see more Tari or Amen in the line up.

We should of won this game but the kids got impatient when Charlotte went to their run and they started making dumb turnovers. They do need to calm down. Fred also needs to stop forcing it so much. He is a veteran and despite trying to get it going, he didn't have it tonight, felt that he should of kept pushing for more plays rather than jacking up threes. It feels like we just gave Charlotte an advantage since we were bricking everything and they were getting long rebounds and running.

 

That's ****ing idiotic, we've got Holiday there if we need another guard. Or just give Amen or Cam more run. Ime's definitely not a top tier coach. A great defensive coach, everything else so far is pedestrian.

 

Brother, we all got sports apps. Low effort journalism ass shiit

 

You know what normally happens when players are forcing it because nothing's working on offense? The coach draws up different plays or switches it up to something else in his playbook. Shame he only has 2 actions in his playbook really.

 

Our shooting sucks so we drafted Reed Sheppard. But Reed seems does not want to shoot.

 

Apparently he's injured. But "genius" coach Ime's playing him regardless. Must be all that "defense only" hustle and grind style of management. Toughen him up, it's all good.
