Nice to see Ish get his championship ring

Why don't we start Nick PJ Miles Brandon Ish?

Eastley

Bryce has been effective in early minutes in several of these games. When he gets pulled and never returns until late, he loses his finish

spectre

PJ is our only backup C

meloFan

Rather have Nick as backup C imo, and start PJ with Miles

In General, maybe it is the right call against big honey

spectre

jesus free throws

Eastley

First quarter mile high adjustment?

meloFan

I love BM's grittiness.

Eastley

I like this unit on the court for its

Us*

spectre

Interesting so far. Feel like they’re just playing with us

Eastley

Love the none for one opportunity there lol

spectre

brandon goes from the corner of shame to attempting being our sole offense

Eastley

Corner of shame?

I stepped for a few mins there, I must have missed something

spectre

He occasionally sits in the corner while terry and miles does their thing. Not so much lately tho

Eastley

Man, if nick played with any of that Mensa energy…

spectre

oh my man mensah getting early burn

Eastley

Playing with big Mensa energy

Love he's getting his MBA, that's cool as hell and super smart thinking

Weren’t we complaining about miles shooting too much? Don’t think he’s taken a shot

Eastley

Now if we can convert that to not playing a lot, I'd be contended

spectre

LOL

about time. I mean this dude’s gonna want like 30 per this offseason and I’d like someone not us itching to pay him

Eastley

I mean I don't want miles for anything but from a bball perspective, the guy can't hit shit and finally hits a 3 and coach pulls him next play. That's just ignorant

meloFan

I love that NSJ 3

spectre

Bad coaching bad calls or no calls. Crap never changes does it lol

GoBobcats24

Cody Martin needs to learn to pass the damn ball

Also thats 2 BS travels called on our rookies tonight

spectre

I think thats discouraged on this team

Eastley

I'm curious what this coaching staff encourages

spectre

nice shot

I think if we were privy to that we’d be even more pissed off

Eastley

Eww, that was a stinky end of a quarter but good to get out with a tie

spectre

And right in front of the bench

17-2 run its like we’re in a time loop

Eastley

How is it possible you can come out of the locker room this bad 2x in 10 days against the same team?

LOL

spectre

i don’t understand how you could own this team and not have fired everyone by now

Eastley

What was that miles?

26-4 quarter and only 6 mins in

spectre

Watch us on offense

Eastley

We're offensive alright

100 1
spectre

its all one man dribbling 4 spread out standing

GoBobcats24

This is what you call one team adjusting and the other team lost

Eastley

When we only scored 9 that third quarter, we gave up 28 or something, right? We might give up 45 this quarter and only make 15.

spectre

I think Denver is just half assing

Eastley

How much ass are we giving?

spectre

lol hard to say. A lot of just clueless but I’m guessing some quitting on the coaching

Eastley

Yeah, I think a lot of our extended injuries are guys not exactly itching to play for this team and coaching staff

Oh Flopping J, you earned that one

What a Hornet quarter ending that was. OMG that's priceless. I'm out

spectre

Ya me too I gotta go into work tomorrow. Been fun! :star_struck:

Mich_Mercer

I really do think it’s time to cancel my Bally sub. I can’t with this team.

I really do think Detroit would beat us. Who’s the first pick in the draft this year?

GoBobcats24

This team has a loser mentality. Who takes a shot clock violation by dribbling out the clock down 18 at the end of the game?

NOBODY

Except us.

Oh BTW the spread was 17 fellas. Cliff betting on the games or something?

Mich_Mercer

We did the same thing a few games back and didn’t try to put up a shot at the half. Just dribbled it out. Super frustrating

5

What is it about third quarters that doom us?

6

the other team decides to play and picks it up a gear

7

I also think it highlights other HCs abilities to make alterations to their strategy, vs Cliff’s lack thereof.

Perhaps but it is much more a talent and general ability to play basketball (which the latter is definitely part coaching). I wasn’t watching but listening to it on the radio as i drove up 95 through SC. It didn’t sound like denver did anything differently, just decided to end the charade that it was a game. I was listening to the denver crew and they certainly didn’t mention anything different other than they tightened the screws.

Definitely. And my comments, despite being posted in a game thread, were meant generally. Talent deficit, lack of defensive application and desire, not to forget toughness, are still the headline issues.
