Nova game thread 12/30/19

[Anti-Homer]

As much as I want him to play better I think we have seen Carter’s ceiling. He is a complimentary player, he was in the MAC for a reason. A good piece but this league/competition is at a higher level than he is used to.

I just think he defers too much. I think the ability is there. Hard to go from being "the man", to a team with 4 top 100 hundred guys in the starting lineup.

They are overplaying Carter every time he gets the ball. X needs to have someone get hot maybe two Jone and Naji or Paul.

[muskieman]

Nova's 10-4 advantage on the Orebounds has been a big problem for X tonight and it seems like they have more.

[muskieman]

0-6 from three tonight.

[muskieman]

O rebounds killing X. Went from down 6 to down 12

[Anti-Homer]

I'd prefer KyKy for Carter, not Q, especially now, when they need to ball pressure more aggressively. Nova also raining threes now.

[Anti-Homer]

6 point game, and Marshall - 26% 3 point shooter, takes a step back three, while KyKy was wide open in the corner. Bad combination of low IQ and selfishness.

[Anti-Homer]

Win or lose, proud of the effort.

I agree that KyKy gives them more of a chance for three-point shots because Carter has abandoned that shot. X loses but down 12 they didn't give up and the threes for Nova were too much for X. Nova made 2 shots less than X but made 7-24 from three which should have killed them but they had 5 more O rebounds

Win or lose, proud of the effort.

I agree. We had better teams go into Philly and get swamped. I hope KyKy can give us more punch and more length.
