One of those games againt non-elite teams where we stuggle because of the lack of offensive consistency. We lost against the Mavs last week and it surely happened last year against many non-playoff teams.

I hope Coach Fiz manages to keep players focused since the 1st Quarter. Otherwise you guys know the script of the game...

1) Early run by the hornets
2) Down by 20 in the second quarter
3) still no consistency and no flow in the offense but we get close in the third Q. About 10pts down is my guess...
In the fourth quarter there are two options:
4.1) We dont manage to get in the game and we lost by 10
4.2) We tight the screws in defense, flow a little bit more in offense and win the game in the last 3 minutes with crazy threes from Conley and such things...

I missed this one. What is it about the offensive consistency that was lacking? Simply shooting?

It all started with the second unit at the end of the 3rd quarter and the first of the 4th quarter. They could not simply make a basket. A comeback led by.... Zeller and Monk. I dont check the boxscores because I know they lie but it looked like zeller grabbed 12 offensive boards and Monk was looking like kobe bryant to me. On the other side of the basket, you had Mario, Evans and Brooks missing point-blank lay-ups, players in the three point line with no defender on them but faking the shoot or the pass so defenders actually had time to get to them and play good D. That specially on brooks, chalmers and Parsons. Why on earth you need to fake 5 times before actually doing a play? they were like scared of taking desitions... that 26 misses out of 30 shots at some point in the 4th Quarter really hurted. They missed a few more before the endgame so I am not sure what coldstreak we finnished on.

Moreover our defense really sucked, they were not scoring cosistently either but we got into foul troubles in the very first minutes of the 4th, so that allowed to score from the three point line.
