GT: Game #16 - Charlotte Vs Chicago (Jan 22nd)

[DY_nasty]

either way, once a team decides to punish one of our weaknesses, we're pretty much powerless to stop it.

By definition, isn’t that what makes it a weakness?

i'd like to at least adjust or show off another weakness to force the opposing team to change it up and respond

not just "we're gonna kill yal all game long doing the same thing. hold that" and we just take the L

Rozier needs to either be more assertive or go up to Graham and demand the ball. Graham had a solid game tonight, but he could've helped get Terry going. Terry had 2 shot attempts in the first half. Thats not acceptable.

Borrego needs to let Lamelo learn and tough it thru his rough games. I can get the benching after 2 straight boneheaded passes, but to not let him back in at all is beyond me. Others, literally everyone else can play like **** and make horrible mistakes and all is good, but he gets yanked for the rest of the game, and we could have definitely used him.

He is your future and he trying help make him great.

Devonte plays like straight ass for 10 games in a row and his minutes go up and up the whole time

Melo throws 2 bad passes and gets benched

That's not how any competent coach sends messages. I said it earlier but Borrego gives me extreme Mike Dunlap vibes at this point with this stupid ass zone and now this benching. Gotta get him out before he does irreparable damage to this team like Dunlap did

I'm not going to pretend like I know as much about basketball as JB, but that being said I dont understand half of his rotations, substitutions, or why he stuck with a starting unit so long that 6 out of the first 9 games was arguably worse than the 2nd unit and dug us a hole.

I also think in due time Stephen Silas is going to be a hell of a coach and we should've hired him.

Just imagine how it feels to get punished for playing poorly when nobody else on the team does on top of not getting rewarded in any way when you were playing well

Gotta protect the confidence of our 25 year old 2nd round pick though

Valentine is someone I wanted us to draft back in 2016. I was pretty high on him.

He's never really panned out in the NBA though. I guess his lack of athleticism really did end up holding him back?

He has played 181 games in the NBA and has 2 career dunks.

To compare, Graham had 4 dunks last year.

I think I was bit drunk watching the game last night so I don't get the sense I wasn't as focused as I normally am, but here is what I thought.

We lacked energy, we lacked a drive. Just felt like every time down the floor we were content to just lazily take the first shot Bulls gave us. Did not seem like we ran many good plays, especially in first half.

LaMelo was not on his game and seemed to be loose with the ball and got caught in no mans land a few times. Did not think his effort was horrible or he was pouting though. Think Borrego made a mistake not playing him much in the second half. Feels like a big stepback and he did not let him get going so now that is heading into next game.

Zeller looked quick the first time he came into the game, but he was running around like a chicken with his head cut off some. I think he will be a good energy guy for us once he is back into game rhythm.

Just overall felt like we played lazy, got outcoached and did not seem like anyone cared to win last night.
