Glad to see we’re back to normal around here

We’re about to play smallest ball.

4

I have a truck load on Miles over 23.5

5

I thought that would be easy money, but it’s going to be close

Looking better

If coach Clifford isn’t fired before the end of this season he for sure needs to go after the season ends. I guess he is doing a good job all things considered. I jumped the gun and didn’t see the injury report. I am sick and tired of the injuries though.

At least we made it close. Micic sucks at scoring on offense from what I can see on the box score. Also, he has no handles.

8

Anytime Bertans shoots the ball I fully believe it’s going in. He could pull up from anywhere and I just kind of assume it’s a good chance of going down.

9

And yes to add to above, miller HAS to get the ball in his hands for a real possession in important moments.

Clifford has repeatedly failed at this, big time.

Miller running the point!

dnbman

Miller with the prayer!

spectre

They’re getting a lot of layups but we’re keeping it close so far. Mainly because of 24

Curious to see how raw bolden is

Thread
dnbman

Looked pretty raw early. Some pesky defense looking good outside of said layups.
spectre

Wild how our defensive energy has changed since the trades

dnbman

yes!

Part of that is the rock is moving, so guys are more engaged in general

Up by 2. Would not have guessed that with the MASH unit going on.

They’re only missing 2 main guys right? Course Barnes out is huge

tnhornetsfan

Like the "pace" Bertans play with

Great nickname too. Didn’t walter herman have a good nick or am I misremembering

Grady Dick was born with an appropriate nick lol

Latvian Laserrrrrr. EC sure loves him

dnbman

looks like 3rd started pretty good.

spectre

Fabio that’s what we called herman

24 has this black wrap around his ribs…back I guess

dnbman

If Bertans is on the court and somebody threw him a baby, he'd immediately be shooting that baby for 3.

Couple of nice finds by Williams last minute

I was able to tune into the 4:00 mark in the second

is that two straight correct challenges for Cliff

TheDorkLord

ball don't lie

spectre

Yup at least

I can go on and on about grant Williams. 9/5/5 shooting 4/6

powellrmp

Sometimes lately we have these offensive possessions that looks like there’s a bunch of dipshits trying to play poker in the dark

or a bunch or morons trying to hump a doorknob

there’s no action. It’s not based in some offense concept. It’s dribbling with everyone standing and watching.

and then there’s 5 seconds left on the shot clock and miles bridges turns around and takes some bullshit turnaround fade three

That's called the Clifford offense. Part clogged toilet mixed in with motion that has no function

A dislocated pinkie finger? Tape that shit and get the hell back out there lol

tnhornetsfan

My vertical is the thickness of a sheet of paper, so I don't have experience blocking a shot like Bridges did. But, why don't guys just grab that instead of slapping it out of bounds like a volleyball spike.

spectre

Or at least try and keep it in bounds right? I know I harp on Miles bbiq but again I’ll point to that

tnhornetsfan

Just grab it like that rebound he just snatched. IDK

spectre

It just looks so much cooler to send it into the 5th row

O boards

tnhornetsfan

I like Toronto's pace. Wish we played like that

Thread
Mich_Mercer

How about we stop the ball maybe??
powellrmp

We’ve been so good lately about staying in front of the ball on defense…sigh

Am seeing Amare Bailey on the bench and no NSJ? Is NSJ injured?

spectre

Assigned to the swarm

powellrmp

Miller should’ve pulled up for the three instead of the bad drive

Bertans! The Latvian layup!

BERTANS

FOR REAL DUDE?!

+1 1
spectre

24 got his first double double

tnhornetsfan

That last possession was great! Nice ball movement

spectre

Probably a good thing bertans missed that 3 I doubt EC would have survived it

Hahaha

Can’t believe we fought back

Mich_Mercer

Hate this timeout

we miss this shot it’s over now. Would be have rather saved it… plus we won’t get the ball in

Well we got it in I guess?

spectre

That was all about Bertans. Miller was pretty much a bystander

That’s happened to micic a couple times this game

GoBobcats24

Nice competitive loss but damn that hurts. Micic has to be smarter with the ball

I am at AEW in Greensboro so couldn't commentate. Even though I am rooting for competitive losses you gotta get a shot off there

Would have liked to see us put the ball in Miller's hands at the end

Mich_Mercer

Enjoy the show man! I watched AEW non stop until a few months ago. I got behind and just couldn’t find the urge to catch back up.

11

That was a strange game

12

Completely bizarre.

13

I didn’t see Lamelo on the bench. Did I just miss him or was he not there? Doesn’t really matter, just curious.

14

He was at the orthodontist
