Don’t get me wrong, we are getting outplayed…

But one team has shot 13 free throws and the other has shot 2 and it’s not for lack of trying on the Hornets end. They are knotted at 24 with the Hawks in points in the pant… just not getting the same whistles.

As a coach I don’t see how you can sit on your ass and not get that tech to try and reverse the course.

Atlanta is shooting 55% and 41% from 3.  We can't beat that team while we're shooting 37% and 26%, despite the fact we're have 29 rebounds to their 19.  

Let's hope when we flip the floor, our shots start going in.

The rebounds are the great equalizer, even though we’re shouting 37% we’ve attempted 54 field goals compared to the Hawks 38. If just 6 of those rebounds resulted in a made two point shot we’d be tied despite only shooting an updated field goal percentage of 48%.

Even if we continue to miss, knocking down some second chance opportunities should allow us to get back in the game. We also have to find a way to get to the free throw line.

On the defensive side we just aren’t active enough, the Hawks have had too many open shots. If we can get the Hawks field goal percentage down to around 50% we’ll have a good chance at coming away with a win.

Yeah, JB should be fussing at the refs. Then again, he didn't Weds night either.

Good God… sit Terry.

That’s three or four bunnies that he’s missed that a player like Ish Smith might make tonight.

Sometimes you have to realize that a guy doesn’t have it on a certain night.

Yep. Terry had found his shot and over the last couple games lost it again.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
