Hornets Vs Lakers Game Thread

Also, Clifford needs to figure out wtf he is doing with the rotation. I know it's early but he does some mind boggling poo.

Blech

That is all

The mid range jumper is what you want to give a team. If Jordan Hill beats you with midrange js you deserve to lose.

You don't want to give a mid range jumper to a guy that's hot.  If a guy has been consistently knocking them down throughout the game you make an adjustment.  Your exactly right if Jordan Hill BEATS you with a mid range jumper you deserve to lose.  Especially if he's been hitting it all night and you continue to let him have.

 

If Big Al has a bad game offensively we lose.  He's horrible on D.  He can't move his feet.  It collapses our D because we have to help him and it leaves the 3 wide open.  Knicks beat us because of this.  Hawks we're killing us on the 3, and the Lakers just destroyed us because they had open look after open look.

C'mon you. The Lakers are a terrible team so don't even try to play me into believing that they're a good team.

The Cavs will be in the Playoffs bc of LBJ.

Where do you expect the Lakers to be in April?????? That's what I thought.

 

Find me a single place where I said the Lakers were good? One place. One.

 

What I did, however, say, was that they aren't as bad as their winless record says they are. Reasons being that they completely gutted and rebuilt their roster, and they have a new coach. Those things take time to fall in to place. The Lakers won't be a playoff team, but they'll be close. They'll win at least 35 games this season.

 

They aren't a joke, trash, terrible team. They're mediocre and they'll win games because they have veteran savvy players in Kobe and Boozer, and they have average players that just happen to be shooters that can randomly go off and get hot in Lin, Wayne Ellington, and Wes Johnson. They'll beat some good teams this year, they just won't win enough.

 

YOU need to understand that just because you lose a game in the first 3 weeks of the season, you don't randomly start pissing and moaning about how an NBA Coach of the Year candidate hasn't done enough. He's a terrific coach. And if PJ Hairston deserved to play, he'd f*cking be playing. Period.

 

At this point in the season with a team that's been rebuilt, it's about gelling and forming an identity. Figuring out what you've got, and the best ways to use it.

 

Guess what the record after 7 games was for this team last year? 3-4!!!

 

So go outside and have a cigarette or something geez

They blacked out my game but none the less am I happy with the score.

[BIGH2001]

Outscored 65-41 in the 2nd half. Pretty pathetic

[Sapper]

We honestly needed this.

Clifford can adjust, and I think there will be a late night coaches meeting.

No we honestly didn't need it.

That's the fatigue I expected in the first half of the game. Not the second.

Oh well. Gotta steal one somewhere in the road trip.

I feel like we need more people who can create their own shoot besides Al.

 

I know the season is still young but until we learn to move the ball around better and create better looks, it's our only solution. Still, can't believe we lost to the Lakers!!! Once they started to trap us, we feel apart. 

[cbarrier90]

No we honestly didn't need it.

Embarrassing? Yes. But take your lumps and move on. This game will be forgotten in May.

On the positive side Charles Barkley gets to eat now so we did the world a favor.

[CPF4LIFE]

The offense just sucks right now. When PJ comes he just stands on the perimeter in hopes to get a open look off a drive and kick. We need to start running more plays for the guys that can actually score besides Al. MKG and Lance only getting points off one on ones and hustle.

[JJman]

Lol.

Shut it up.

I would give you credit if you were calling for him pre draft, but you didn't. So quit acting like you did all along.

Stop being a child. It's advice you need to learn because all you do is respond like an 8 year old will an attention disorder. I have no reason to lie about anything I said, and to be honest, I never would've imagined someone getting mad over it. I guess it just doesn't pop up in my mind because I don't think of people caring enough to say that.

I wanted McDermott before, during, and after the draft and there are posts to prove it. I don't have the time to go digging up old threads, but if you want to, be my guest. Feel free to PM me for anything else, as the gamethread doesn't need to be hijacked by an irrelevant topic like this.
