GT: Hornets vs Celtics Sat Oct 29 7PM EST

Not sure how you can say Hawes is awful, he's played pretty damn well the last three games, especially considering the fact that he's got two brand new guys he's still getting used to playing with in Sessions and Belinelli. His shooting has been off, but he's rebounding well, moving the ball well, and he's actually done a surprisingly decent job protecting the rim.

Marco has had one meh game (MIL), one solid game (MIA), and one poor game (BOS). Still think folks are weirdly critical of him, he gives us another ball handler that protects the ball well and does a nice job facilitating ball movement. Need to get more consistent shooting from him, but you can already see why we thought he would be a good fit.

Hawes is doing a decent job of rebounding and being a big body inside, but he has been taking a ton of awful shots (sub 40%fg) and getting some absurd turnovers.

Marco is averaging 8/2/1 in 26mpg and shooting 35%fg/25%3pt. He is also horrible on defense. I'm not sure how it is weird that people are critical of him, especially considering he was similarly bad last season.

I know it's just 3 games in but somebody else has to step up and help Kemba score consistently on a nightly basis. I honestly don't expect Batum to reach those career highs again but he has to at least average 15 for this team if we don't want Lil Kemba to break down before the season over.

People have been calling Belinelli trash and disregarding his entire career before last season since we traded for him.

Basically did the same thing with Hibbert.

Just saying, give him some time before you fixate on constantly calling him out.

[Eoghan]

Any ideas who Clifford was talking about when he said players were going off script on defense?

Batum

He's got to get off the shooting schnide he's in. Less hero shots and more in the offense shots to establish a rhythm.

I agree with my positive bro. Spence has been more Dr. J-kyl than he has Mr. Hawes. Sure he's taken some dumb shots but everybody has this season. The dumb shot offense seems to be everyone's interpretation of the schemes right now for some reason.

Does anyone remember angry MKG face last night when the camera stopped on MKG sitting on the bench and he had the nastiest scowl on his face the entire time? When was that?

A few more games in a row of scoring single digits and I'll be right back to ripping him.

[Snidely FC]

so what would be the rationale for the NBA scheduling 3 games in 4 nights including with the fourth game being back to back against a major divisional rival followed by no games for 4 nights?

With Lamb out I suppose Harrison might get an opportunity to play sometime soon. It would be nice to see something positive out of him. If not Clifford should give those minutes to Graham.
