Hayward was missed..

his steadiness was missed in this game.. sometimes when the shots aren't falling for us - He is the guy to come in and get a solid elbow shot that is like 90% efficient for him.. i keep thinking he is the guy they might flip for someone at the deadline - but he is extremely valuable but at the same time over-payed.. lol

The Hornets are coming off the worst 3-point shooting performance in team history. I thought it was going to be one of the worst in NBA history, but boy howdy are there some bad shooting nights throughout the annals of recent history. The Nuggets had a game in 2012 where they attempted 22 3-point attempts and made exactly zero. The Rockets had a game last season where they took 45 3-point attempts to match the Hornets four makes. The Celtics had a 4-for-42 3-point shooting performance a few weeks ago, and that’s only one of two 3-point shooting performances that the Celtics have had this season that were worse that what the Hornets put out there Sunday night.

The Hornets will try to bounce back against a good but not great Raptors team that’s been all over the place this season. 

 

The Raptors play at one of the slowest paces in the league and they don’t turn the ball over much, which limits the Hornets transition opportunities. However, they don’t shoot well, so the Hornets will want to try to push off rebounds as much as possible to get into their transition offense. The Raptors play an iso-heavy style of basketball and don’t shoot the ball well on spot-ups, so the Hornets should be able to contain their offense if they do an okay job staying in front of ball handlers.

Toronto keeps it up in the second, and have an 18 pt lead with 4 mins to go in the first half.

still shooting 62% from the floor and now same for 3.

However, Bouknight has played 10 minutes and has 13 points.  

 

 

and we are 25% from 3....our shooting slump continues

Bugs come back, Terry with a great steal on an inbounds pass. Melo finally hits a 3, first in the last 2 games.

We're looking better but we've got to guard the shooters better.  We're trying to play inside against bigger guys and doing a better job of boxing out and getting arms in passing lanes, but we're leaving shooters open on a hot night for the Raptors.  But we're back in the game

Raptors are hitting everything Hornets putting up hero shots and barely playing defense. Looking like this one is already over. I know it's an empty arena and we're missing a few guys but yikes these low effort games make me think even if we get in the playoffs they'll put up another stinker like this.

      Panthers Blueprint

      That argument could be used for actual trolls. “If you don’t like it find somewhere else to post” is just silly. Some of us are just letting you know, you are sounding like a broken record on these threads. It’s just some constructive criticism. You don’t have to change your ways. I doubt you will. Just wanted to make sure you were aware. Feel free to deflect and use one of those GIFs again.

      It went from he has to jump to he has to bend his hips. That’s changing it. I showed you clips of him throwing deep without jumping which means he doesn’t always have to. I liked and like Stroud better so I’m not really a Bryce defender. Just think you don’t have to make up things when critiquing our QB like he has to jump to throw it deep. There is plenty of ammo there without those exaggerations. Oh yeah the “you don’t know ball” argument. Classic.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By strato · Posted

      I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans.
