Hornets vs. Heat Game Thread

So when Clifford calls a timeout to set up a final play, does he forget to tell the team?!?!

Guys, Kemba has to take the game ending shots. He just doesn't have support players (like a wide open Big Al) around him so it's left up to him.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Or when your point guard who is supposed to distribute. Doesn't

Who is he going to distribute the ball to?

The play was called for him to be in iso with Napier. During an iso play everyone clears out, you have no one to pass to.

Have you ever played basketball!?!? Like even once.

Is Steve Clifford the NBA equivalent of Ron Rivera or what?

Refs sucked ass, end of game playcalling was even worse. Al Jefferson got like 3 touches in the 4th with Shawne Williams on him. That's ridiculous.

That's not play calling. That's kemba wanting to be the hero. He did it against Orlando and he did it tonight. This is getting to be a disturbing trend.

On second thought, maybe the playcall IS for Kemba to do that every time in which case Clifford is Ron Rivera.

the play was a pick and roll. AL was opened and rolled he looked them off. And missed as always. Lance leads this damn team with 5.3 assist per game. That's fuging pathetic.

The officiating did not make us go into the bonus early..just lazy defense....the missed foot out of bounds was awful and other than that.

Its go to AL at the end of games and panicly fling a shot up if he is doubled... This locker room will implode with a few more games like this.

Disagree 100%

The defensive intensity picked up and the Heat still got 8 more free throw attempts inside the four minute mark.

Kemba, Lance was open at the three point line.

Kemba, the previous play, after the switch, Al had a six foot one inch rookie point guard on him.

I'm really starting to question our point guard and I hate it.

No way that was a P&R, the pick was set on the inbounds way to far away from the basket.

Not to mention it was set with 13 seconds on the clock (way too soon).

Also even if it was a P&R play, Al was doubled, notice the three Heat jerseys around him on the rebound, only one of those came in after the missed shot and that was Napier.

Pretty much this. But it has to be said. Gotta start holding people accountable. This team is too talented to be staring down the barrel of 4-13.

So you think he made a good play? Please explain if 4 people were committed to two people, you swing the ball? No?

The best team in the Carolina's is the Hurricanes and that's only because they at least try even though they suck.
