[mcleitsy]

This might be our worst shooting game all season. Hard to watch.

[mcleitsy]

Also **** Austin rivers with that bull.

Well, at least John Collins is having a great stretch

Horrible play most of the game. Heurter i still have high hopes for but coaches need to figure out how to get some open 3s. I think at this point I'd be down with seeing a Trae/Bembry/Heurter/Collins/Len starting lineup. 2,3,4 is pretty tough defensively. I say Len over Dedmon because i think he's better in this offense. I know he hasn't done much lately but he has better hands than Dedmon.

I still think the offense is extremely predictable and relies almost entirely on guys ability to beat their man. Collins in the post or hell even Carter in the post could get us some potential open 3s. It seems like we don't do a good job with kick outs or swinging the ball. Maybe I was too used to bud ball.

It’s gonna be tough throwing anyone out there we will still lack overall talent but Pierce needs to draw up some better plays. I know he’s a rookie HEAD coach but he needs to prepare better plays as well.

why did lin only play 3 minutes? is he still injured?

[Atlanta Hawk Fan]

^IDK what the difference is between TOV and TOV%, but we're league worst at both.

TOV is a raw number or per game number irrespective of number of possessions.

TOV% is a percentage based on number of plays or possessions.

So if a team played 25 games - total TOV might be 500, TOV/gm might be 20, and TOV% would vary depending on how fast a pace the team played (and therefore how many possessions there were each game).

Cuz he’s Lin and we don’t care about him for our future that’s why.

I'm about 92% sure they said he injured something during the game.

His ego is hurt. That’s about it.

They said he got hurt in the first quarter.
