Did anyone see the highlights to the Hawks Magic game? End of the game and Magic need one stop to win the game. They defend the perimeter well and the shot is off, but Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson simply stand there and let josh smith slide in between them and dunk the put back.

Always amazes me how professionals/millionaires who have played the game their entire lives can make these mistakes. Really this type of laziness is a big reason why the USA didn't win Gold in 2004.

I know sometimes guards on the Bobcats don't help rebound when it looks like they should be, but they definitely put forward better effort than I saw from Nelson and Lewis. They both had perfect position and just stood there straight up, not using their arms or lower body but just watching. Lewis does attempt to jump for the board, but had he and Nelson used proper technique, Smith gets an over the back call and probably misses the putback.

Just a mental lapse on the part of Nelson and Lewis. It should'nt have happened, I remember in grade school learning to always box out, but it happened. They'll be fine. Always gotta make sure a bodys on Smith in that situation. Kid is a beast.

      Nussmeier shows all the qualities, but has a really bad game here and there. Sellers is raw, we will see how things play out.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By frankw · Posted

      Well let's be realistic here. He could have taken one look at Bryce Young on tape and known what he was getting. As JackieLee stated his work with QB's like Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield is a big contributing factor in why he was hired. At the same time we also have to recognize other factors. Seemingly and realistically he was the only one seriously considering the job. And as far as "fixing" Bryce Young goes one entire staff has already gotten the axe over him. Frank Reich was vilified as possibly the worst head coaching hire ever. 2 years later the more we see of Bryce the more it looks like he was the problem. Right now we are at a true crossroads. We cannot just play out the season with Young and be a serious franchise. We have to try and see what we have in the young roster and firmly get some sort of look at Canales offense. At this point Dave Canales needs to earn the right to draft his own QB. So far he has developed bupkis at the most important position. And he and Dan Morgan made the decision to not give Bryce Young one iota of competition for the third year in a row. He cannot claim the cupboards are bare beyond his control.
