GT: Charlotte Vs Memphis - Feb 12th 7:00pm

[HornetJail]

For years I have been vocal about my dislike of the +/- metric.

In saying that, interesting that in 12mins of PT tonight, Thor was +17 when most others were -12 to -17.

That said, most of Thor's PT came when Adams and Jackson had fouled out, and Adam's in particular kicked the **** out of us all night so Thor's +/- might have been aided by the lack of Kiwi in the game when Thor was in the game.

Still, the difference in Thor's +/- when compared to others pops off the boxscore.

Thor's defensive impact was phenomenal, I'm really excited for his future. Once Adams was out of the game, we had size advantages playing him with Plumlee+Harrell and he did well on the perimeter

[Hornet Mania]

The effort during that comeback was inspired, too bad it fell just short. We looked totally outclassed in the 1st half but kept playing and showed a lot of pride. Hopefully we can build on this and smash Minnesota.

[BigSlam]

We scored as many points in the 4th qtr (43) as we did in the entire first half (also 43).

I'm tired of feeling inspired by comebacks. I want complete games. I'd rather play average and lose by 3 than be down 35 and nearly pull one out. A L is a L but damn this.

Hes been the best of this teams rookies this season and hes two years younger than Bouk/Kai. Its way too small a sample size with all of them to really know how they'll pan out, but I think Thor has exceeded expectations so far at least (expectations were low tbf).

Kelly Oubre was horrendous. Rozier was equally really bad in the first half. Miles and Ball were also complete garbage in the first quarter.

Ball Roizer Miles PJ Harrell as the starters
Bouk Oubre Thor Plum as the backups

Borrego will never do that but that needs to happen

I actually think, if there was a switch to the starting lineup, it should be:

Ball
Rozier
Bridges (could switch with Thor)
Thor (could switch with Bridges)
Harrell

I’m still convinced that Thor is our best defender.

I was just thinking with all the bouknight needs minutes gripes, I think Thor had shown to be most deserving of more

He's definitely bringing more in an area of weakness, assuming his perimeter defense keeps looking as good as it has in these cameo appearances.

This is something I've been saying all season, especially when Twin went down.

Thor is the only other guy on the roster I've seen get after it on defense and, for that reason alone, deserves to be on the floor for 10 or so developmental minutes a night

[Robot Rock]

Mason Plumlee had the best +/- behind Thor. I like Thor, especially the defensive intensity he has and how he's just relentless. If he could learn how to catch passes and craft an offensive game, it'd be even better.
