Gameday Thread: Hornets @ Bucks

It relevant because it's on the scouting report. Dunleavy has been shooting 53% form the arc while averaging about 4 attempts per game and we aren't defending him accordingly. We either have major personnel issues or we have coaching problems. I definitely think it's a personnel issue that forcing our defense to over commit in help defense.

We only have one above average perimeter one on one defender out there in Aminu. Vasquez lacks the foot speed and constantly gets beat by quicker guards, and Rivers is a little in over his head right now until he gets used to things. Not to mention that Ellis is hard for anyone to guard. And he doesn't guard people running off screens so good.

It'll take time.

[Eman5805]

Don't like how often the ball rotates to Aminu from guys like Vasquez or Rivers who I'd rather take early 3s.

tomahawk chop by Aminu

Davis likes the 3rd quarter, I guess.

[luckyman]

LOL!

[rt0307]

goaltend some?

[Eman5805]

Total goaltending. But whatever. We need Davis this game.

[rt0307]

[PelicanFever]

[Shelbywmccarty]

Total garbage

MASON FOR 3333333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PelicanFever]

their guards are not intimidated by davis

[Eman5805]

Wow. Meyers is just amazing. He can tell when a shot is release if it looks good or not. Never saw that with Bob.

[PelicanFever]

anderson misses when he is wide open but hits it when he is contested it seems

[Shelbywmccarty]

We are not setting good picks

[rt0307]

[dcoop]

Why doesn't Davis try to block more shots?

[Eman5805]

Don't go away from Davis when he's feeling it, guys.

[dcoop]

Overhelping

Why doesn't Davis try to block more shots?

He's been in foul trouble.


And our guards really need to improve defensively. We're out of position and leaving the three point line open because our guards can't stay in front of their man. We're basically putting more attention on drivers because a lay up is a higher percentage shot than a three. But that's beating us.

you know, i've noticed that since Vasquez has played in FIBA ball, his 3 pointer looks less like a shot-put and more like a legit 3 point shot. good stuff

[Eman5805]

Why doesn't Davis try to block more shots?

He's never sold out for blocks. Go straight at him, or try to take a shot with the shot clock in your face, he'll reject you with ease. Try to take a wide open jumper when the game is on the line? He'll get a hand in your face. But he's not swatting flies out there like JaVale McGee or DeAndre Jordan.
