It would be nice if Zeller + Washington or Biyombo + Washington could show some semblance of interior defense. Otherwise, this game will look like a joke.

It's good that Willie gets to play against his brother. Nice move by the coach.

I know Batum sucks, but he at least tries to coach the younger guys. Not much, but it's something.

Batum has been very okay lately.

Can't tell if its just because I can't stand any of our wings right now though.

Biz looks weirdly coordinated (for him) this season.

bacon is worse than pj hairston ever was lmao dude doesn't even come to the ball. biz is begging for an angle to get him the ball and bacon moves FURTHER from the ball. takes himself off the play entirely and gives the nuggets a free double team leading to a fast break

this is common sense stuff

miles with another weak drive under the rim that leads to a scoop pass at biyombo's ankles :banghead:

meanwhile an undrafted kid is balling on us

Graham was horrible in this one. A lot of low IQ moves for a PG. I'm still thinking his peak is a strong backup PG where he is primary scorer. As a facilitator, I'm just not impressed by his ability to create space for others.

graham gets all kinds of different looks a game now. he's basically the only starter other than PJ that's proved they're worth keeping around lol

you can't blame a guy who has to initiate from every spot on the floor because the wings are useless and end up throwing him the ball right back after remembering they can't hoop. i don't blame him or rozier for shooting early. might be the best shot the team gets that whole possession.

his bad games are actually bad games. they're not the norm. the rest of these guys? consistently disappointing. its a surprise when one has a good game and we know it won't be replicated for a while.

Agree with this. Miles has talent but in the right trade he needs to be used to acquire a true starting SF. We need a high caliber C and a real SG with size and deadly shot making capability. It all starts with a high lotto pick this year so carry on the tank brigade.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

I think these guys need to be around a mid-level vet that isn't eyeing retirement or waiting to ring chase. Maybe guys like Burks who've been around the league for a while but still wants to prove their worth somewhere.

Its clear night in and night out that some of our players are way too comfortable and feel they can just show up for a living. Like when Reddick was saying that some players are more concerned with a pregame fit than working on their game how can you NOT think of guys like Bacon?
