***Hey Siri*** How do you play defense in basketball?

The rebounds are the great equalizer, even though we’re shouting 37% we’ve attempted 54 field goals compared to the Hawks 38. If just 6 of those rebounds resulted in a made two point shot we’d be tied despite only shooting an updated field goal percentage of 48%. Even if we continue to miss, knocking down some second chance opportunities should allow us to get back in the game. We also have to find a way to get to the free throw line. On the defensive side we just aren’t active enough, the Hawks have had too many open shots. If we can get the Hawks field goal percentage down to around 50% we’ll have a good chance at coming away with a win.

Don’t get me wrong, we are getting outplayed… But one team has shot 13 free throws and the other has shot 2 and it’s not for lack of trying on the Hornets end. They are knotted at 24 with the Hawks in points in the pant… just not getting the same whistles. As a coach I don’t see how you can sit on your ass and not get that tech to try and reverse the course.

A fuging lane violation on the first free throw… the fix is fuging in.

Borrego needs to get off his ass and light into these officials.

Not sure why the refs think Atl. needs help. That call is literally what is supposed to be out of the game.

Not trending well.

Bench is playing well, Tsunami Papi and Cody Martin have 11 of our 26 points. Interesting that we haven’t seen Richards yet.

Why is Harrah’s Cherokee a sponsor for Atlanta... I get that Cherokee isn’t that far from Atl. but it seems odd to be a sponsor of a team in a different state, especially when there is a team in the state you are located in…

LaMelo is on pace for a whopping 20 assists.

Hopefully we’ll have some once the regular season is over.

Didn’t realize this game got bumped to NBATV, wish they wouldn’t put us on national TV.

Records be damned, Atlanta is stout, it’s a road game, we’re on a back-to-back, and they are on three days rest. Probably going to lose but I’m here for it.

That last flurry got Andersen over .900 for the day.

Defense is out of pocket today, so many odd man rushes.

Y’all remember the days when our bottom six consisted of players like Brad Malone? Now we can’t figure out who to sit. What a time to be alive.

Think Marty wears the A on the road so I wouldn’t expect him to sit a road game.

Lorentz out Stepan in.

There’s not much of a precedent for a two-QB system in the NFL because if it doesn’t work then it solely falls on the coaching staff and most coaching staffs wouldn’t want to take the risk. Just imagine if the Jets ran a two-QB system with White and Wilson and continued to get blown out… Saleh would lose his job. However, the Dolphins did successfully make it to the Super Bowl in the 80’s running a two-QB system. The Steelers made the Super Bowl in the 90’s with O’Donnell and Stewart. It takes balls to run a two-QB system, I’ll give Rhule that. College coaches usually have more experience in a two-QB system and Rhule is no different, he rotated a bunch of QB’s during his first year at Baylor. He might just be able to make it work.

What a shitty ending… I know we won but good Lord… played like chickenshit down the stretch.

You can tell Melo is looking for the triple-double now.

Went up by 25 and Terry, Oubre, and Hayward started to play hero ball…

Well poo… guys stopped playing. Starters are going to have to come back in.

Is Carlisle a fuging loon… Wanamaker definitely got him and and if you don’t call that one then call Craig for going through the body…

Officials trying to keep this one close after calling a phantom foul that took away two points on LaMelo’s backboard pass to McDaniels.
