The defense has been bad without him and it's showing tonight.

We beat them easily down there the first time and Nene played just 15 minutes. It's just about effort.

Wall is cooking it up proper.

Wall's shooting well.

Buck and Phil are lamenting the lack of fast break opportunities, but a) a high percentage of CHA's shots come down low and/or with good court balance, and b) CHA does a great job of getting back on defense.

Still need more toughness inside. Like that Gortat lefty hook. Ariza has to get his head in the game.

While he absolutely needs to improve his ball handling, I think it is shot selection that is the bigger issue. He's shown in small flashes he knows how to attack, but not consistently. I don't know if it is him being lazy with the shots he takes, but I think mentally is the biggest thing needs to click with him.

Lastly, his body language is a bit discouraging at times. He really shows his dejection when his shot isn't falling. Defense will probably get better once he gets a bit stronger but he seems to have coasted on transition D this season IMO. Last year he was pretty damn good.

If MKG could shoot he would be such a good player. He's getting in there and being a pest on the offensive glass and he runs the floor like a maniac.

Until he can command minimal respect on at least a set shot jumper, he doesn't have an NBA position though.

loving Wall's D too but the Cats wont go anywhere. Al & Hendo are hot while Walker is streaky. Beal good shots then dumb shots

Bring Gooden in to play Jefferson. Move Gortat to McRoberts. Go big.

Beal looks like he's starting to push his shots. losing confidence

dlts20 · Post #111 » by **dlts20** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:32 am

left hand Wall

Pretty much everyone on Charlotte except Walker dribbles completely out of control. We should be picking up charges and steals left and right but we're not working hard on D.

Leave Zeller in!

80sballboy · Post #114 » by **80sballboy** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:35 am

Gortat going back to playing soft. Just use head fake on those jumpers like Al does. Drive to the f-ing hole.

bealwithit · Post #115 » by **bealwithit** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:36 am

Wall getting a little too happy with the jumper, needs to get inside now, go back to the jumper later

Zeller is awful

dlts20 · Post #117 » by **dlts20** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:36 am

hope that missed layup doesnt put Wall in a funk. Thats how it starts

RustyMagoo · Post #118 » by **RustyMagoo** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:37 am

This is a poorly coached team.

stevemcqueen1 · Post #119 » by **stevemcqueen1** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:37 am

He was in the restricted area wasn't he?

9-2 run, Randy sure is stingy as **** with his TOs.
