I'm really rooting for Bacon..


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

This dude is trying everything thing to level up his game.. And fight out of this slump he had been in all season..

Summer league.. Always in the the gym and now going back down to the G League .. When he didn't have to... This guy truly wants this to work and I'm hoping it does for him...

 51 points a night ago... Come on basketball gods let this work out for him and the Hornets in the pro's...

Bacon is a bit of an anomaly. When he’s assertive he looks like he could be a starting SG/SF. But he just doesn’t seem like he knows what to do when he’s on the court, kinda standing around at the perimeter. Maybe it’s a coaching thing where B wants him to play a certain way and isn’t utilizing Bacon to his strong suit which is driving to the basket. It’s frustrating to watch as we have seen that he has the skills.

But my thing in this thread is giving Bacon credit for his effort trying to fix his problems.. Which is admirable...

Dominating G League talent shouldn't give anyone hope for him.  He absolutely should dominate these guys.  He's not there by choice or to "work on his game".  He's there because he sucks by NBA standards and has a bad attitude with an inflated ego, and the organization is trying to wake him up.

And what was the other choice?  Lol.

Stay on the bench and do nothing but get the small minutes every other game he was getting.. He could have stayed on the main roster been lazy and got paid.. But he decided to work on his game getting game reps instead sitting around saying woe is me.. That is commendable ..

    • well, the comparison is to last year.  The OL is a 180 degree from that.... and overall on the season they have had better skill talent for the same QBs behind a MUCH better OL.    So yeah, the O not looking any better overall is a red flag for Canales.   
    • I just want somebody to settle into that Hangartner role and I may give Mays too much credit. He played so well early and has fell off since injuries crept into his vocabulary.  He was struggling to get push on those goal line runs today. 
    • You cannot say it doesn't matter who is playing QB ever in any circumstance. The first two games of the season, Bryce was standing in the pocket with time missing throws left and right. We were running the ball well, but even the gimme throws Canales was setting up, Bryce was missing. Then you start Dalton, boom easy win at Las Vegas. By week four's end, three of our best defenders are seriously injured, center injured, 2nd best veteran WR hurt, and best veteran WR quitting on the team.  Canales is a rookie head coach, and he definitely has had some see what sticks moves. But players are being schemed open, the rookies are progressing nicely, and you have the albatross of some terrible lack of talent to phase out. I give him credit alone for pulling Mingo, Thomas, and going with the better/younger producing players. The scheme is better, he just needs better players and I am not going to write him off until he gets more talent, starting with QB!
