  3. Can we talk about how this Newell = offense, Gueye = defense narrative has not been true for like a month or more now. I understand Mo can't catch the basketball, attack off the dribble, shoot, pass in tight spaces, etc etc, but he rebounds the ball on offense better than anyone else on the team and Asa doesn't do any of the things I listed that much better than Mo. Since his 3 point shooting has fallen off, I could honestly argue Mo has been a better offensive player just for his rebounding.

  4. I didn't hate the no timeout call, but it's not analgous to the Utah game. Needing a 3 to tie vs needing literally any type of basket to win are so much different. It's so hard to get off a 3 point shot when the opponents know you need one without a drawn up play. Additionally the Hornets just had a chance to sub in their best defenders during the Knueppel free throws vs Utah just had to put out their best offensive lineup to get a 3.

  5. Brad, thank you for attempting to explain my frustration with Quin. Its difficult because i see it but i cant make it make sense.. it's like he's frustrating us on purpose or either he's so stubborn he refuses to do the right thing. Ive never felt like this as a long time hawks/basketball fan.
