Yes Love these guys

But kind of sucks that Nesmith is not able to score

Eh? He's got 8 points in 13 minutes.

Not able to shoot*

3-3

He's just been making layups

Dude was shooting side stop threes in college highlights

But maybe his destiny in the NBA is Gerald Wallace for some reason

Please clarify, as he hasn't missed a shot.

I'd be better to watch the game to see he's shooting 3-3...

I just can't decide if that's what he's saying, or if he's complaining that he's not shooting enough.

Well, he did hit the only 3 he took.

[Silas]

Theis with a nice tip in.

Just all around stupid play by PP.

he struggles against pressure.  has all season

Do you mean Smart? PP has just the one TO to Smart's 5.

PP.  he has difficulties handling the ball under pressure.   Smart's TO are mostly due to boneheaded decisions and trying to force things.

One turnover isn't difficulties.  Five is difficulties...

TOs are a possible result of the difficulties.  there's also bad passes, ineffective passes made to get out of pressure, passes made because he can't bring the ball up and get the offense running, etc...

the last play of the half was just an example of how he struggles with his dribble with a defender in his face. 

it's a weak point in his game that he just needs to work on. 

[Atzar]

Thought that was a hook on Siakam.

Probably me nitpicking


But yea you're right kinda hoping he'd shoot more or whatever

I love that he's hustling but his shot hasn't been there for him since  he joined the NBA, was hoping he'd break out of it

[jpotter33]

Good half. Hopefully we can get another one and steal this game.

Asian ref missed that blatant hook by Pascal on GWill.

[Goldstar88]

Smart is such a bulldog. Gotta love it.

[Surferdad]

Scal is right about the Siakam shot chart. The Timelord effect

[Atzar]

22 points off of 12 turnovers is a striking stat.  That means that ALL of our offensive mistakes are leading directly to points at the other end. 

[pokeKingCurtis]

Somebody tell me how we're hanging in there when we're turning over half our possessions

Not complaining but just perplexed

Our shot making is still...Good ...Without the Jay's for some reason I guess? Lol

[Goldstar88]

If Nesmith could just move his feet and stop reaching... Yeesh.

[nickagneta]

Could not be more proud of the way this team is playing tonight.

Grant, Smart, Theis, White and Pritchard collectively decided to go out and show they can get the job done so guys can rest and recupérate. And guys like Nesmith, Hauser and Kornet are giving it their all too.

Go Team Green.

Love the battle so far. Keep this up and I will be happy. We can't expect perfect play but we want fight and heart.
