I am so tired of this 3 pt offense. It's getting hard for me to watch. Can't shoot it, but we keep shooting it.

Missing 3s is bad, but we haven’t taken many. We are missing layups and pretty much everything else.

I'm getting the feeling that this is how the season as whole is going to feel:

try hard, try hard, try hard, run a lot, drive a lot, get offensive boards ...

struggle to score, have trouble keeping up on the score board.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

Good job by Siakam posting Smart. Many PF/SFs struggle against Smart's post D.

This is what happens when your front office is blindly in love with Small Ball and a team of 6-7, 6-8 perimeter players ............

You Cannot Score Inside and Cannot Defend Inside !!!!

Who, exactly, should they have gone after in FA? There were no better options than what we brought in

Jesus - I'm talking about the way the team has been constructed since the rebuild from Garnett's teams, not one free agency summer. And as for the summer, why do you use your treasure chest of draft picks to choose 3 guards and a 6-7 post player when you desperately need help inside ? Wanna know why - because you are blinded by the idea of a fast, athletic, perimeter team and have been since playing against the Lakers in the 80's.

People were saying Kemba wasn’t likely to shoot 4-18 again. Seems right. Tonight he started 1-9, so i guess tonight will be for 2-18.

I'm realizing my love for how well Grant seems to fit with all these lineups / how smart he is may be overshadowed by the fact that he has a really hard time scoring against NBA caliber defenders.

No this is what happens when your bigs are injured. We have 5 bigs and now 3 is injured. You want us to sign 6 bigs?!

I love the poise Smart is playing with when driving the basketball. So much confidence in him making good decisions in traffic now. So much more efficient in his actions.

he's in a slump.  I also think he's not really used to playing at this pace.  Those Charlotte teams were usually pretty deliberate, right?

Gordon is one of the more efficient players we have, he usually won’t take a lot of shots but the shots are all good ones

Are people even watching the game? We're being aggressive getting to the basket, we just can't finish. If you think we're shooting too many 3's, then maybe your watching the wrong era of basketball lol.

Kemba is making an impact defensively. Great job staying in the game when shots aren’t falling
