GDT: Suns vs Bobcats

[teeray]

People trying to blame Kemba or Al are rediculous

[Proudiddy]

Lance isn't the issue, but I think Clifford is making him the issue with his old ass, old school, Larry brown coaching style.

He doesn't like Lance, he wants him gone, and he's going to make everyone pay for it until he gets his way.

That's what it is starting to feel like to me.

I've said it since the 1st game that something is just missing with this team. Can't pinpoint it but last years team had something that this team doesn't, might be toughness.

[Proudiddy]

Someone on Twitter said that after that horrible failure of offensive basketball where Kemba lost the ball then threw it to Neal for a desperation heave that he walked back out on the floor mouthing, "shouldve fuging called the timeout."

Clifford has to go.

I still think it's the fact that Kemba was able to play off the ball due to McBob's point forward abilities.

Through out the entire first half, Lance was playing the point on nearly every other possession and it was working great as Kemba was able to spot up and get his shot.

In the second half we went away from it and then when Lance got hurt we never got back to it.

People say Kemba is at his best when the ball is in his hands, I completely disagree and I think we saw why as the game progressed.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

We hired a coach from a coach (coaching tree) that got fired for poor player relations, I'm not sure why this is a surprise.

Clifford like SVG has no sense of player-coach relations. I mean heck, look at the mess Detroit is still in.

Last little rant

 

Big Al is our best offensive player.  The last 4 minutes we should be wearing his ass out with isolations on or near the block.

 

He will make some, he will miss some.  Some games he will win it for us, some games he will lose it for us.  But in close games the offense needs to have a HEAVY dose of Big Al.

 

If we need a last second shot, then let Kemba do his thing.  But in general, in close games, late in the game the ball needs to at some point go through Al and work from there.

Phoenix doubled Al without the ball. Everyone else just stood around. Kemba doesn't have much choice.

I'm not even in favor of this team turning it around and making it to the playoffs as an 8th seed because we'll be in the same position that we've always been when we make the playoffs.... swept again.

It's time to sell on everyone not named Walker, Hairston, Taylor, Kidd-Gilchrist, Zeller, Vonleh, and Biyombo.

Too bad Kemba doesn't know poo. Why didn't her call the to?

[Omega Atrocity]

Lol

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Because Clifford said he specifically wanted to save it.... try watching his presser.

Too bad SuperJ don't know poo.

Move him around then, bring him up to the elbow and run some back door cuts, or run a UCLA cut off of him.

 

I will have to go back and watch the end of the game, but if they are double teaming him off the ball there we should be able to get a decent shot somewhere.

 

Of course after we walk the ball up for 8 seconds trying to protect that 3 point lead with 3 minutes, then see what defense they are in, then try to get in some sort of offense, you end up with 8 seconds on the shot clock and don't have much of a choice anymore.

 

But long story short, if they are trying to double team him even without the ball you have to move him around.

 

Coaches get paid millions of dollars, we can find a way to get the ball to him and then work from there

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Welp, it's on to the next one.

Four of our next five games are against teams with losing records, let's see if we can get something going here.

Optimism!!!
