Hornets vs. Heat Game Thread

Don't say anything bad about Al or else you don't know anything about basketball and/or aren't a true fan.

 

Really or sarcasm? Al is often a liability on defense at least this year so far.

Lance looking good

I thought I was laying it on pretty thick there but yes that is sarcasm.

The play needs to go through Al down low but he needs to count to two and if nothing has materialized he needs to kick out (for a rotation) and switch to the next block.

The offense is so stagnant and with no outside threats it's so easy to guard.

Double down on Al and get out on Marvin on the kick out.

That's what I was hoping can be hard to tell on the interwebs. Uh oh Hendo on the floor

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The hesitation by Lance on that rotation cost us.

At least Hendo played a little D there on Deng. This game isn't over but it's not lookin great.

Here's the thing. I understand MKG is our most important player, but with the depth this team has now an injury to him should not doom us the way it has. Last year, it made sense that one injury would result in a breakdown, but this year it makes no sense.

No Dwyane Wade and Miami has gone over fifty in a half and can't miss from three. For a team that has defense as their calling card that's inexcusable.

There's also the point that our most important player (MKG) was acquired via the draft even with all this money being spent but that's for another thread.

When a team's shooting % is 60+% Fg 60+% 3pt and 75% Ft of course we are going to be down.

It seems every team we play lately shoots lights out against us.

Keys to Victory Update

Feed Big Al (5-8 for 13 points)- Push

Limit Heat FT's (4 FTA)- Check

Guard Perimeter (Heat 6-9 From 3)- Fail

Backcourt Efficiency (even)- Push

When a team's shooting % is 60+% Fg 60+% 3pt and 75% Ft of course we are going to be down.

The free throw percentage is skewed, they've only take 4 free throws total.

Why is Brian Roberts so bad?

[cbarrier90]

Double down on Al and get out on Marvin on the kick out.

Currently 2 of 11 as a team from outside so there's no guarantee that would even work which is probably why you see Al try to force the issue alot of times.

Why is Brian Roberts so bad?

Cheap deal so we could save enough money to sign Lance.

^That sounded so good in the offseason and so bad right now.
