Tre Mann back in the short pants tonight

Didn’t get to see the game. Looking at the box score, looks like Miller struggled, Bertans was bad, and Micic was great.

4

Miles Bridges and Micic were great and Grant Williams got hot in the fourth quarter making sure the Grizzlies couldn’t overtake us! We just got lucky and played a team more banged up than we are.

Miller of to a good start

Could tonight be the night that Nick records one or more blocks and no basket interference calls?

Chef

How are they looking? I actually bet the hornets to cover at -2.5

Memphis is absolutely running out a g league team

Williams has fallen all the way back down to earth on both ends

Funny how that happens

And he is a pretty terrible passer lol

Eastley

I don't know how you evaluate the players in this coaching desert

Miller is succeeding despite of them
Chef

The single thing I am holding out hope on. First possible true star

Eastley

My long held belief is that Clifford doesn't put players in a place to succeed. He, in the current situation, is the best guy to exploit or own players weaknesses; more than any other team's scheme.

Poku has looked pretty serviceable in limited minutes especially defensively
Eastley

Give Clifford time with him, he'll break that

Chef

I can tell you have hit your Clifford low

Eastley

I've felt he puts guys into positions to fail broadly, and for not any value, since the MCW year. I've seen nothing since to change that sense.

Chef

I am with you. He needs to go, but somehow after hearing him interview and players live for him, I feel like he has value somewhere in system

GoBobcats24

Poku was an awesome pickup

I like his game a lot

GoBobcats24

Somebody tell me what the hell Grant Williams is doing out there

Thread
GoBobcats24

He is struggling
Eastley

He's been Cliffed

GoBobcats24

I think it is more than that.

Chef

Cliff definitely hit his peak with the al Jefferson Kemba playoff team.

The league changed and he didn't

And I guess short of having jokic or embiid, his system offensively is just not a workable scheme

Poku looking good right now.
Eastley

Normally takes about 5-6 games

Chef

Eastley is in full on eyeor mode tonight. Love it

Or Lewis black/bill burr mode. Can't quite read tone.

Not that dark, or angry. More Moe Sizlack I'd think. But it's largely due to no sleep lol

Wonder if you can make sports bets in North Carolina these days

Ouch

GoBobcats24

We are really gonna go 3 quarters with 0 freethrows

dnbman

That one ref looks like Dell Curry doing a Tracy Morgan impersonation.

I think I've heard y'all tell me Brandon Miller is good at basketball.

GoBobcats24

To Eastleys point Miller succeed in spite of the offense not because of it

Bertans was 1/9 from 3 last night. Yikes! Only seeing him play against us all those years, I wasn’t aware that he had ever missed a shot.
