Which team will break its franchise record for made threes next on our schedule?

We got it within 10pts in the 4th - and then let them reel off 8pts in a row and push it back out to 18pts.

Such a waste.

What will be JB’s excuse for no LaMelo the second half?

we just suck at everything that keeps teams from hitting 3s. dribble penetration, rebounding, off ball help, team defense etc. it’s amazing we are 12-14 because our defense is trash

Not the 1st time we've heard "franchise high for the (insert team name here)" this season when it's come to hitting 3's against us.

Probably wont be the last either.

probably down 18 to start the fourth and the guys he had in cut the lead to 10. I don’t think we were winning this one so whatever i guess

The 2nd half?

He played most of the 3rd. He just hasn't seen the court in the 4th. I guess it's because this one was done and dusted.

He stopped doing anything in the third. Thought he'd try to pull us out but guess he was too in awe of Kyle Anderson's greatness.

How do you shoot 6/29 when you’re a PF-C?

Yikes...

Pity they don't have a "sh*t the bed" stat because I think he'd have lots of those.

Perhaps it’s time to think about starting Miles at PF

Maybe PJ can trade places with McD in Greensboro.

i don't like miles at PF either really.... but much like the graham situation earlier in the season, if he's hurt - he should sit

(i still think the graham injury is a reaggravation and not some initial thing)

1. Get Gordon going earlier.
2. Get Monk involved more consistently.
3. Get PJ a counsellor.

Annoying, kinda pathetic loss really. Really didn't like what JB was doing all game, mainly the complete lack of defensive adjustments and the waiving of the white flag in the 4th Q. Cmon man...

PJ...you've just got to be better pal.

We can't beat teams with size, we're too damn small. The only players we have that have good size for their natural (key word) positions are LaMelo, Washington, Hayward, and Richards.

Monk and Rozier are small off guards, Zeller isn't long enough, Biz is short for a center, Bridges is undersized for a 4, and Graham while not bad for a point is still undersized.

So basically 2/3rds of our rotation is undersized. Addressing that should be the top priority going forward, and yes it means several of the above guys should be playing for other teams next year.
