Still stings

I think the hype train and excitement here would be quite a bit higher if that game winner from Charlotte was just a bit late we'd all be talking about our rookie with the game winning drive.... we'd be sitting here today with a chance to win versus the Hawks and go to 5-5 which would be the latest time in a season we've been .500 since 2019.

Still, this is a bit of another measuring stick game against a team that isn't a top tier team in the East and we're on our home court. If we can get a win to improve to 4-6 here that's still a really good sign that we might be fighting for the play-in come April.

This is actually our easiest stretch of schedule coming up things get harder in December. As of right now 9 of our next 10 teams currently have a losing record only the Rockets are .500 or better at the moment.

Hawks at HOME
Rockets at HOME
Heat at HOME
@ Bucks (2-6 Currently if we win Doc could get canned? This game is a B2B)
@ Raptors
@ Wizards
Bulls at HOME
@ Hornets (Miles Bridges is out 2 weeks might still be out there)
@ Orlando (Banchero is out)
Raptors at HOME

We are 3-6 right now and we really should got 5-5 or 6-4 over that stretch if we're going to complete for the play-in. If we aren't 8-11 or 9-10 heading into Thanksgiving we're going to be a bottom 3 team in the East again most likely.

Another test for our guard defense. Trae has been all over the map. 2 points against boston but 30+ in 3 of their 9 games so far. Can't let him run wild on us.

Trae had an rough shooting night then also left the game early with a rib injury. It was also a b2b and he has generally struggled in those games.

Execution, execution, execution.

Too early to celebrate, but dayum.

Great start so far.

For "not being a Point Guard", Cade at least quarterbacks the offense well. 29 assists and counting in this last 2.5 games. 8 assists, 1 turnover so far today.

Stew sure works his butt off for his size. If he were 7 foot he'd be dominant.

Cade's gotta make that.

He's been good passing the ball, making quick, early decisions

If Tobias and Beasley make shots we're gonna be tough to beat at lca

Even when Tobias plays well he makes me feel bad. I can't explain it. He needs to go away.

Fennis Dembo · Post #14 » by **Fennis Dembo** » Sat Nov 9, 2024 1:39 am

Tobias needs to stop trying to run the break.

The crowd got so loud when Beasley played good D on the perimeter on Trae (before they embarrassed us) but it shows what brings fans, and what gets them loud -- hard work. It's the city, it's why all our championship teams were the best defensive team.

This would be a really tough L after that Hornets loss... Got to string together some buckets here.

Sadly that was the last time the team played d.
The last few minutes have been horrible. Open 3s and layups
