2nd half minute rotation :

Vuc-18 Bradley-6
Green-12 DJJ -12
Derozan-18 Brown -6

1. Lonzo -18 Cobe-6
2. Zach -18 Caruso -6

Pretty much same as 1st half. It’s a pretty straight forward template to being competitive and maximizing this teams capabilities .

Sticking with vuc #1a option

That was some good team basketball...

DeMar passes to Zach after he gets the iso attention, Zach drives forcing them to collapse and Vuc is waiting in the corner... That was an impressive piece of basketball to end the quarter.

No 3rd quarter let down. Play the defense they are capable of playing. Minimize the open 3 point looks for CHA

Great play by the Bulls to close the half. Seemed the crowd got really energized the moment Lonzo got jobbed and the team fed off it and played a real smart brand of aggressive. Caruso really brought the energy. Some really nice ball movement to close that quarter.

Just imagine, if we made our FTs we'd be up 16 and talking about a blowout instead of a game that felt close until 2 minutes ago.

He's supposedly sick today. But yeah, it's been going on for a few games now.

Billy rarely used his challenge. I think he did it once early in the season, lost it, and was always scared to use it again.

Coaches normally challenge when it comes to their top players getting fouls. That a way to protect his players. If they would have reviewed it, they probably would have reversed it.

He lost that teal one against Lonzo last week too. I mean refs don’t favor us so he says why bother?

He needs to keep at it. Hold the refs accountable. If he keeps doing it the league office who gives the after report can say if it was legit or not.

In contract Thibs uses a challenge any chance he gets. And he actually wins more than loses.

IDK I just want Billy to protect our guys more and not be scared.

This team looks way more dangerous when our scorers actually score!

The way Charlotte shoot the ball - just jack up way too many 3s, they will make some to keep it close. I am just hoping that they are not hot from 3pt arc in the 2nd half - especially in the 4th.

I like the aggressive Vuc. They will have to pay attention to him and could get defense tired and then they start missing 3s.

He's doing exactly what he needs to do in games where his shot isn't falling.

Be a threat and make the right pass.

Help in rebounding and refocus his energy on Defence.

Billy needs to sit him down like Alex in Clockwork Orange and make him watch the non scoring parts of that first half.

Lavine is not scoring. He is playmaking with Lonzo in foul trouble.

If Lavine gets hot from 3s, that would be great as we will need it. I have no problem if PJ makes his 3s but can't have many Hornets players making 3s, or the game could go either way.

HoopsterJones · Post #276 » by **HoopsterJones** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 2:14 am

If Vuc can make buckets like this coupled with DDR and Zach’s typical contributions this offense can be potent.

That's why everyone is angry when Vuc is not on, because we know how good this team can be when he is on...Exhibit A here tonight lmao

I'd also want lavine to have to watch how derozen plays inside the 3 point line to watch where and when he gets his shots.

Oh I agree. There is only one way to get the respect. If the refs think they can walk all over you they will. I get the mentality though he isn’t one to sit and whine abou calls which is good, but enough is enough

Vuc being a legitimate threat and a bigger scoring option on this team is exactly how he helps on Defence. If he can make his opposing centre work harder on D and make the other team scramble to cover him, Zach, DDR and Zo they won't have the legs to make 80% of there 3pt heaves in the 4th.

Vucs best defence is his offence
