Captain Morgan

I've been worried before every game this year, but not today. We're going to win this one.

got to have a Pauli girl...this was the one on my dorm room wall.

A buddy of mine in Florence SC gave some red gravy one time that was similar. Liked it enough to get the recipe. It was a little spicy and fairly thin. I've seen some folks eat tomatoes like that over grits.

what is that? I've lived all over North Carolina but have never heard much about that.

at the start of football season I usually get away from healthier eating habits and dive headlong into burgers, pizza, chili and comfort foods, so it's time to get back to some healthier options. I had some hibachi shrimp this week and remembered how easy that is to do at home, all while being a healthier option and still very good. So that's on the menu today, along with beer. And scotch. since I've got a couple of zucchinis, I'm gonna air fry some in panko and parmesan and dip those into ranch for second half munching too We're going to win this game, so eat well and be merry. What's on your menu?

Melo turned 20 two months ago. He's going to keep getting better. Not that I know anything but I was disappointed when we got Oubre. He's been a pleasant surprise. Do wish we start getting Bouk some minutes.

could have been. Needed to be talked about either way. Expecting at least one make up call in the second.

Cavs shooting 41 percent from 3, we're shooting 27. They have had some open looks.

Coach B almost got a tech on that final foul they called on Melo. Glad to see some fight this early. Ref looked like he knew he was wrong too.

road game at Cleveland tonight at 7. One of the worst in the league last year. they drafted C Mobley last year at #3. Should be a win.

Bouye is already under contract next season. Donte is not. I'd be very surprised if Gilmore would sign to play safety. He can get big money to play corner, really big money. If Henderson plays up to his draft position, it will be an amazing collection of corners, something where years from now will look back and say they were all on the same team one year.

Melo with 31, Gordon 27. Oubre with 35 minutes and 14 but shot poorly. PJ was 1 for 7. Rozier did not play, dealing with an ankle. Looked ragged about you'd expect a young team in their first game, but a win to start the season is great. And I agree with those that think Melo is a star like we've never seen in a Hornets uniform before.

bout what we expected. We're getting dominated in the paint, we'll go as our guards go.

after a preseason that was "not ideal," Wed. October 20 starts the season with the Indianna Pacers visiting. Game is at 7 pm. We are healthier now and the Pacers will be a good measuring stick. We were battling with them for the final playoff spots last year. Let's hope for a victory to start the season, and see some chemistry established. As much as we had last year, it never showed up in preseason. Really want to get back to watching Melo work his magic and the team playing fun basketball.

great call Brady. I'll give you credit.

call a QB run...it's our best option, hyst not up the middle

Erving's man caused the fumble.

add Brady to that list

that was our 3rd down play???

Carolina Blitz @KeepBlitzin · 3m There are literally more Vikings fans than Panthers fans here.

LUVU!!!!!!!!!!

Darin Gantt @daringantt · 1m Michael Jordan still on the field. So it appears there’s a new LG around here.

Joe Person @josephperson · 2m Brian Burns not on the field as 2H begins. Darin Gantt @daringantt · 2m Brian Burns was in the tent, but it looked like an equipment adjustment. He's back on the field now.

back to back timeouts...WOW
