Official Game Thread: Hornets at Hawks

Hard fought win.  On to the next one.

[Peoriabird]

John is such a scrub.  He missed a shot and had only 11 rebounds and 2 block shots!

Oh dang.   I guess the site is ... down ... for some.

Super weird, amirite?

It was a good win as any win is. An entertaining game but the lack of defense was killing me all four quarters. In the overtimes I just figured both teams were tired so it was not really defense that caused them to miss shots. Reddish should be starting now and Huerter coming off the bench; but Huerter is a little better at taking care of the basketball. So maybe Pierce sees that as a need; or maybe he just does not want to bench the more veteran player.

Unreal performance from the two lottery picks throughout the game and in the clutch.

Charlotte only had 3 turnovers in a double overtime game

Good win against a not so good team.  It was a struggle though.  These guys don’t know how to close a game out.  Neither does the head coach.  All he knows is the process.  

Too bad this isn’t sustainable.

I thought this guy was blocked

 I can see Trae avg 25/10/4 and Cam avg 18/3/5 within the next couple of years..THats 43/13/9. Not to mention how much better Cam will be on defense by then....Ill take it...

Don't feed it man.  

I'm sitting here thinking Hunter didn't have a decent game. He only took 5 shots, but he was playing good defense and we were complaining about his rebounding and now he's been on a rebounding tear. 13 pts 11 rebounds 60% shooting.  Great game D. Hunt. 

Kevin's game has been off lately as far as shooting, but he's playmaking and rebounding at a good level.  Sigh I have to say this, but he may be feeling the pressure of Cam playing better and pressing a bit. Still had 10 pts, 5 rebounds and 6 assists with 1 turnover.  That's a solid game, other than shooting 33% from the fiel. 

Graham is becoming what I dreamed Bembry would be. He's making solid plays, playing good defense and he's hitting his 3's as of late at a much better clip. 

Cam FAM - As his official stan account.  The kid is growing up right before our eyes.  22 pts, 7 rebs, 1 assist and 1 steal on 57% shooting and 37.5% from three. Great defense!  He has SUPERSTAR potential. He's been consistently excellent when you consider his start.  Just wow Cam! He's legitamately the third best player on the team right now.

John freaking Collins - Playing for that max contract.  Always bringing the energy and better defense. John is special people. We complain about what he doesn't do well, but he does so much well that he's an overall plus. 

Trae Young - Yes! Yes! Yes! Kid's getting his legs back. He dropped 31 pts, 4 rebs, 16 assists, 6 turnovers on good efficiency.  That 2.67 assist to turnover ratio is a dream for me.  He missed the those shots at the end, but came on strong in the overtime like the superstar he is! 

Coach LP - Loved the honesty in the press conference and great challenge.

Cam is a 20+ point scorer all day. 

Easily. He shown he can score in bunches and single handedly take over game far too many times this year to cap him at 18. He's putting up around 18 for the past month or so easily and isn’t even close to his final form

Offensive foul on Rozier . . . good call . . because he definitely hooked Graham.

Still . . . this is why I hate that foul at the end of the game strategy, unless the other team needs to make a 3 to tie.   If you need just a 2 to tie, you should NEVER foul in that situation.

I'll say Cam will get this ball for a chance for the game winner.

Yeah, Rozier did hook Graham, but it happens all the time, and seldom gets called.  Trae does it all the time, and seldom gets called on it.  Homecourt advantage!

[kg01]

Shout out to clp for holding his challenge till late.  Could've used it many times throughout the game but rightfully held his water.

Is Rozier going for a career night? Jeepers man.

Somebody always does!
