2022 Nov. Even when wizards are mega ass we beat the hornets though at 2-1 might have to worry about our pick

2022!! It’s been 3 yrs! Oh man, that’s a long time.
Anyway, with 80+ games left, I’m not even thinking about our pick. A lot can happen over time. We are solidly at 5-8th worst team IMO, comparing to other teams and if we keep playing like we are. Not worried at all.

Bub made a couple of nice moves inside but the ball just wouldn't drop.

Kalk flopped

Looks like the game plan was to get Sarr more shots. Maybe they read Nate's post.

I don't understand why they won't play Vukcevic. Bagley is a journeyman.

We've missed a lot of easy shots, including 2 alley oops.

Yeah, I think we are outplaying the Hornets in terms of quality shots generated. We just aren't knocking enough down.

Ball seems to be shooting the Hornets out of this one to close the 2nd.

I'm very happy with his production so far on defense, but his offensive numbers don't looks so great on paper (just a .530 TS%) because he has faced a murderer's row of matchups (Giannis and Anthony Davis) in his first two NBA games. It would be nice to see him score something like 20 points on 8-11 shooting and 4-4 from the line.


So far, he has 17 points on 7-10 shooting, 2-2 from the line!

Just one more FG and two more FT's and I will have nailed it perfectly!

Seriously though it makes sense to feature Sarr to take advantage of the spacing created by Kyshawn and Tre.

Sarr is a different player. Comfortable, not forcing. If CJ looked his direction he could have 6-8 more points.
