How Hornets matchup against Top Teams in East

Cleveland:

Kemba ==== Kyrie

Lance >>>>> Waiters

MKG <<<<<< Lebron

Marv >>>>>> Thompson

Al >>>>>>>> Varejo

(Biz, Hendo, Neal, Zeller, Vonleh, PJ) <<<< (Wiggins, Bennett, Mike Miller, James Jones)
 

Cleveland has the upper hand now, and if they land Kevin Love they will be the favorite to come out of the East.

 

 

Chicago:

Kemba <<<< D.Rose

Lance >>>>> Butler

MKG >>>>>> Dunleavey

Marv <<<<<< Gasol

Al ======== Noah

(Biz, Hendo, Neal, Zeller, Vonleh, PJ) <<<< (Taj, Snell, Hinrich, Teh Jimmer)

 

Chicago is interesting because we match up really well with them (without Rose). If they are healthy and we are playing our best, we have a punchers chance.

 

Indiana:

Kemba >>>> Hill

Lance >>>>> Miles

MKG <<<<<< George

Marv <<<<<< West

Al >>>>>>>> Hibbert

(Biz, Hendo, Neal, Zeller, Vonleh, PJ) <<<< (Scola, Mahinmi, CJ Watson, Chris Copeland)

 

Indy will have to hope Hibbert returns to from and Paul George takes another step forward or else they might be 1-and-Done.

 

Washington:

Kemba === Wall

Lance ==== Beal

MKG >>>>> Pierce

Marv <<<<< Nene

Al >>>>>>> Gortat

(Biz, Hendo, Neal, Zeller, Vonleh, PJ) >>>> (Blair, Humphries, Gooden, Webster, Andre Miller, Otto Porter)

 

This team is deep with talent. They might be the 2nd best in the East if Rose isn't healthy. We match up well with them too but this might be our rival for the next few years gentlemen. I live here in the area and I don't understand why the city doesn't support this team. (Maybe a name change needs to happen?)

 

Toronto:

Kemba <<< Lowry

Lance ==== Derozen

MKG >>>>> T.Ross

Marv ===== Patterson

Al >>>>>>> Valanciunes

(Biz, Hendo, Neal, Zeller, Vonleh, PJ) <<<< (Landry Fields, Amir Johnson, Lou Williams, Hansbrough, Vasquez)

 

I think our matchups with this team favor us tremendously.

 

Miami:

Kemba >>> Chalmers

Lance >>>> Wade

MKG <<<<< Deng

Marv ===== McBob

Al >>>>>>> Bosh

(Biz, Hendo, Neal, Zeller, Vonleh, PJ) >>>> (Napier, Haslem, Granger, Cole)

 

It's all downhill from here for the Heat. When you have to rely on Wade and Haslem to get you quality minutes at this stage of their careers- it's doom and gloom im afraid.

Agree with most, but unless Lance takes a big step forward, or Wade takes a big step back, Wade > Lance. And Bosh with a greater role, now he's arguably their number one guy, should see his stats and performances improve. So he is even with Al.

Give me Nelson and Blatche, and that solidify us as the no3 team in the East.

Off topic, but those Raptors "Dino" jerseys are back. Best jersey ever.

They're back?

One of the best jerseys back in the day.

did you watch the Indy/Miami series? Lance was the only Pacers that was effective in that series.

 

and as far as Wade taking a step back... he took a step back a year ago. I can't imagine him this year with the best wing defender on every team they play guarding him instead of Lebron.

Respect your opinion and everything and it might be just me..but don't you think you are giving kemba a little too much credit? Don't get me wrong, I really like him as our pg and I think he's arguably top 10 in the league, but you are equalizing him with kyrie and wall who are arguably top 5. Wall and kyrie's handles are better, passing is better, athleticism, shooting and well..just about everything just seem to be one level higher than kemba..except defense. Also bosh is solid.. At least equal to big al. Wade is better than Stephenson even with his bum knees..just cause he's that good. I don't know, a lot of people seem to disagree with me about the heat but I still think they are serious contenders next year. Anyways, good thread for debate! I put us somewhere between the 4-6 seed right now..just really depends how everything unfolds.

    • be kind of hard with us going undefeated the rest of the year. yeah...i said it.
    • I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk. 
    • The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
