Preseason Game #4: Hornets @ Magic 

Post#1 » by BigSlam » Fri Dec 18, 2020 7:46 pm

Should we expect for our main guys to get 30-35mins this game and our primary back ups 25-30mins this game?

Hope so.

Can we please just give one roster spot to the Martin Twins and have them just switch out for each other? I still can't tell them apart and probably never will. Just Dragon Ball Z fuse them together please

Actually not a fan of Martin Twins playing at same time, they play too similar and they aren’t really shooters respect at this point so spacing is poor during those times.

Realistically we should be playing a 9 man rotation once season opens so doubtful we see both in the same game often.

except Caleb Martin is a shooter, he hit half of the 3 pointers he took in the NBA. in the g league he hoists 6 three pointers a game at 36%

Cody has the edge defensively and a better passer

I need a much larger sample size of nba shooting. He may have made a decent amount in GLeague not sure but defenses aren’t worried about him.

Twin #1 & #2 should be encouraged to shoot ten 3PA’s per game each then and launch them from all over the place to make defenders respect their 3pt shooting because they have the confidence to take them and that shouldn’t be stifled.

Hoping McDaniels settles down some tonight. If he doesn't settles down some, there might actually be an idea of a good player in there.

Doubt Clifford lets those guys play trash defense for a whole night again too. Is Bamba free yet?

Might want to start keeping an eye on Vucevic trailing the play and pulling up from the exact same spot and continually draining 3's...

PJ just looks awfully slow

I'm worried that after a promising rookie season playing as a stretch 4, they've broken PJ by trying to turn him into a small ball 5 during the offseason.

i knew clifford wasn't gonna let orlando show up looking jacked up twice in a row

if nothing else, hayward should stabilize things and keep games from getting out of hand once the season is underway

Such is the magic of LaMelo's passing that he has the ability to make Biz catch slick passes.

if they let dude spend all of the time off thinking he could be a small 5, they screwed him over. straight up
