Lance and kemba went 2 for 17 & we only lost by two. What would the score have been last year if kemba andwhoever our third option was (hendo I guess) did that. Especially against a good team. The game Wednesday was a TON of pressure on the guys and they managed to come back and win. We may not hit our stride till after the all star break but this is a top four team in the east.

His real words....

 

 

But coach Steve Clifford used Gary Neal late in the game. He also seemed to send a message to Stephenson afterwards.

"He just didn't play very well," Clifford said. "I coach to win. I went with the team that played the best. The guys that know what they're doing out there and played the best are the guys that played. The guys that continue to play like that will be the guys that play."

Neal hit some shots late but had butterfingers in the first three quarters, he couldn't handle the rock.  Add that in to Zeller's multiple passes after he leaves his feet that get picked off and Roberts throwing a few ill-advised backwards passes too.  Memphis is a great defensive team and the Hornets were careless with the ball last night.

 

We were lucky to keep it close, and for two games in a row we've been garbage in the first half.  This team will need to get off to better starts, and they can't rely on the home crowd for all of their juice.  That first game was a unique situation and the atmosphere likely won't be matched that often.

Sounds like Cliff is establishing his top-dawg status. Lance might be one of those "make me respect you" types. If so no worries. It won't take long for Clifford to dictate the manner of this experiment.

As an aside, it seems I remember Big Al struggling with injuries to start his tenure here.

Lance against the Pelicans: 23 minutes, 1-6 FG, 7 Rebounds, 4 Assits, 5 Turnovers, 2 Points

 

 

He was a train wreck last night.  Not to mention his pouting after every turnover, including when he was blocked by Davis and then didn't get back down the court until NO had missed a shot, kicked it out and hit a wide open three, 4 versus 5.

 

Clifford must be livid.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.

      If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
