Game Day: Hornets (17-17) @ Suns (12-25), Wed 1/6/16

[Danimal]

and even if they somehow win, who the hell wants to pay to watch that lineup?!

[Shabazz]

Forget the lineup data. This lineup has 1 player who can create offense and that player is only interested in creating for himself.

[carey]

The defense on that possession was beyond terrible. Knight just watched the entire thing happen.

[Cap]

We actually look decent. Must be the bowling.

[Cap]

When was the last time we went into halftime with a lead?

December 20th against the Bucks. 53-45.

[carey]

Tucker being helped off the court. Looks to be bad cramps or a bone bruise maybe.

[TOO]

Ok just turned it on and the 1st thing I hear is Ronnie Price started instead of Booker?!! WTF?! Fuck off Jeff. Fuck off forever.

[carey]

The Suns show this kind of ball movement too infrequently.

[carey]

The Suns are in real danger of winning here.

[carey]

Suns are 18-30 from 3 tonight and are only winning by 9 despite also shooting 50% from the field. It's because they only have 11FTA's to Charlotte's 22.

Tucker with the dagger.

[Cap]

Credit the win to bowling, or to me and DC at Z?

[Cap]

Horny gets his 100th win... on his 10th try.

[carey]

Booker and Warren each scored 17 and Mirza had 19 (though he didn't shoot particularly well.)

[OE32]

Warren's release is so quick.

Knight looked terrible.

Those fouls on Alex were BS.

[AmareIsGod]

Booker had more rebounds tonight than Kieff has all season.

[AmareIsGod]

Warren's release is so quick.

Knight looked terrible.

Those fouls on Alex were BS.

The box score says otherwise. I sadly missed watching the actual game. What did I miss?

That's often the case with Brandon Knight. He's one of those players that always has amazing stats but if you watch him play, you realize that he's the perfect defition of "empty stats" player.

For example, did you know him, LeBron, Westbrook and some other player are the only 4 players in the NBA this season to average as many pts, assists and rebounds or something like that?

Does that mean he's even close to being that same tier? Heck no and he sure doesn't look like he ever will be.

Just an example of how numbers never tell the full story...Daryl Morey, the NBA's biggest analytics queen is learning this the hard way.
