Scottie a bully

Barnes playing with force tonight. Going through the contact instead of avoiding it. Need this more often.

Hornets scored 1 non-3 pointer that entire quarter.

It's very annoying how Scottie cries for a foul literally every shot

Have you watched Luka, Lebron, or like any star in the league?

They annoying too lol I hate that on any player

maybe this is stating the obvious but we'd probably be an elite team if they could shoot worth a damn lol

NinjaBro · Post #191 » by **NinjaBro** » Thu Jan 8, 2026 12:40 am

Our effort on defense is great. We just need some shooters and we're set

5 offensive rebounds, otherwise a very good defensive quarter.

I mean they won their minutes and “no shooting” is just a reality of our team with limited shooting lol

We pretty much always have 1-2 non shooters out there

Ya I don't like watching Luka for that, but, I'd be annoyed if our guys didn't do it just because they thought they were too cool to be like that, the refs aren't going to just respect them if they don't act that way and call it more, they will just keep hosing our guys without issue the and think they are doing a good job

I dunno, if you don't like it, then you don't like nba basketball

But then again, nba basketball is entertainment not true sport competition anyway

I’m annoyed at him when he doesn’t deserve the call. But tonight he has. So I’m annoyed at the refs.

The thing about Barnes is in order to earn Those calls he has to be able to make obvious decisive moves with the intent to finish. He can’t keep taking off too far and flipping up wild shots and expect to get calls. Sometimes it looks like he thinks he deserves the call on his wild shots, when they’re obviously out of control. His goal should always be to make a move to finish strong and if he learns to actually be consistently efficient in there he’ll get calls.

Our defensive principles are great. When we execute, mannnn.

Our angles on driving hornets players tonight is great. Switches are seamless. Helping on the catch and rotating. Elite stuff.

Tripod · Post #198 » by **Tripod** » Thu Jan 8, 2026 12:44 am

RJ's touch is great

great rotation by Gradey there forcing the turnover

I know. That’s exactly what I’m saying.
