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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
