Official Game Thread: Kill the Hornets, 5pm MT

[Cappy_Smurf]

Mack and Neto are fairly comparable... different but comparable.

I would prefer Mack most of the time, but I think Quin's overuse of Mack is an issue.


And as far as Quin losing this game for us, he has to at least get partial credit. Our 3 point shooting absolutely sucked, but this game was very winnable, and Quin made some questionable/bad decisions in this game.

I'd give him a grade of about D+ for this game.

We didn't shoot well... they did... sometimes it happens.

I will say this. If Hayward was officiated the same way walker was tonight he shoots 20 free throws. One thing I love about Hayward is rather than flopping when he gets contact he does the get the **** off me move and scores plus the foul.

Hayward has gotten raped his whole career. I don't get it.

 

[str8line]

All true, but you have to ask yourself, do you want to be a team that makes excuses? Or do you want to be a team that improves. Not every night is going to be our night, I get that, but that should not prevent us from looking at our mistakes and trying to improve on them. The problems that Quin had tonight are not new and he needs to improve.

We played them tough in their house without our starting PG. They are hot. No need for any excuses tonight.

We stopped Kemba most of the game

We did a good job... he got to the line on some pretty weak calls and then we had to play with kids gloves on.

I truly hate how the game is officiated. There is not really a good solution but players are routinely awarded for non-basketball moves... both of those three pointer fouls tonight were the stop short rip through type and the stopping in front of the defender always has annoyed me, but Hayward shouldn't have fallen for that one.

My only issue is when Mack is sharing the floor with Hayward and Hood he should take fewer shots. And he's just not a very sure handed ball handler.

Neto is a better spot up guy and knows his role. He hustles but is generally an overrated defender by most.

I wish Quin would lose his **** every now and again Kerr style. It matters and he should go to bat for his guys.

 

[Eminence]

Ehh, missed a lot of shots, on the road against a very good team, not worried about it, can't win 'em all.

 

[kabenac]

Wish Hill would have played in this one. We did well on the boards but they took care of the ball. Close but no cigar.

I was pretty stoked when Favors shot that 3 tho.

Hayward with 29 tonight, 10/19 FG, 7 REB, 4 AST, 1 BLK, 4 TO

He looks like he could go for 30 nearly every night.

Seriously, I'm so impressed with how Hayward is playing man. It's exciting stuff.

 

[fgcamel]

I feel so conflicted watching Favors atm. He looks hobbled, but is somehow still playing well.

It doesn't matter who you are playing, or even if you win or lose. You need to put out your best performance and improve upon your mistakes. Quin has been making the same mistakes over and over and he needs to improve on them no matter what the result.

Lyles defense has been a concern from day one. Looks like its a lack of effort. Ive seen him make plays so I know the defensive ability is there.
He seems to take the Boozer spectator route too much.

 

[yamers]

Lyles doesn't do defense.

 

[Siro]

I haven't read the thread since I watched the game on DVR a couple of hours after it ended. But Joe Johnson's defense down the stretch was terrible.

 

[Stoked]

He blew the election and the game!!

We don't need that kind of negative energy around here.

Lol tough week

Not to mention my gambling this past week.

 

[Beantown]

Exum and Lyles need to show up. And we need to kick Mack to the curb.
