Pacers @ Hornets- final tune-up


Luck's neckbeard

Recommended Posts

Lance, Kemba, Hendo, & Vonleh all out. Pacers killing us. However, Big Al looks great & like he's ready to roll.

MKG continues to knock down jumpers. He looks excellent &, more importantly, comfortable shooting jumpers. He's gonna have a breakout year. He's 4-4 already & just drained a 20ft jump shot with perfect form. He got the ball & the defender did the patent "MKG's got the ball, back off 6ft move" & MKG immediately, without hesitating, buried the jumper.

Somebody give Mark Price a cookie.

Should have never traded Sessions....I have a feeling our 2nd team is gonna struggle with Roberts out there

 

Or just kept Napier

Napier is another Kemba. Don't want that. Roberts is more than capable of being the man

Is there a chance Lance or Kemba miss the opener? They've both missed several games with injuries. Haven't heard anything on if they're really hurt or just being held out as a precaution.

Would be a bummer not to have our #2 & #3 guys.

 

Has to be a precaution. All the coach-speak about "We have to treat this like it's a regular season game" is just coach-speak. In reality I'm sure Clifford is enjoying the opportunity to figure out how his second and third rotations fit together, because the starting lineup is obviously set in stone at this point.

 

If all the new additions don't gel out of the gate, it won't be because of lack of playing time in the preseason. LeBron has even admitted it's going to take awhile for the Cavs to really be the team everybody expects. Usually you see a bunch of fluky wins from bottom feeders over contenders early on before the dust really settles around December.

 

Really excited for MKG. Would love to see him keep these preseason performances up against the Greek Freak.

That's true, but not on Wednesday. The players are pumped about the rebrand and seem to really understand what I means to this city. I fully expect us to mop the floor with the Bucks and absolutely destroy them.

Ugh. Charlotte sports fan syndrome. Literally everything about that game points to the scenario you just laid out so I fear a let-down.

    • A Quarterback in this mold is and was always going to take a long time to develop. I think he still has quite a bit to go.  We didn't draft him for his foot speed or arm talent. We drafted him to be the leader and commander of the offensive unit. and he is growing in that capacity on a weekly basis. Being smart and being able to make the correct adjustment and get your team into the right play and being able to get the ball to the right spot is the most important thing an NFL quarterback can do. You can scheme around it, you can simplify, you can try everything, but those skills make a dominant NFL quarterback more than anything else. More than anything else, that's what the Montana's, Brady's, and Manning's do. And those are the ones you want. What we are seeing with Mahomes is a guy that has the brains, unique arm talent, and above average foot speed. He may go down as the greatest. I don't see that in Bryce's future.  He's got a long way to go, but he's showing he's capable of being that game managing, offense controlling guy. While that type of quarterback is the most dominant, it also takes the longest to get them game ready, and if they don't ever get to a dominant level, they often don't pan out. So it is a risk. 
    • This is fake news as Trump would say. Nobody’s comparing seasons the nfl pundits ESPN first take si.com and other outlets are stating what we’re saying in this thread it looks like he’s regressing. Now to address your statement their leading their division ummm have you seen their defensive rankings compared to ours. You’re cherry picking which you can’t do with me I’m not a poster who’s here to argue I like thoughtful in depth convos. They have the 4th ranked defense put that in Carolina don’t you think we’d probably lead our division this year realistically. With the offense you’ve seen the last four weeks being average let’s just say with a 4th ranked defense how’d do you think we’d look or how many more wins would we have? You can’t say oh but they still lead their division knock it off it’s bc they have a terrible division and an elite defense. CJ is dealing with issues Bryce dealt with bad Oline and he has weapons but they’ve missed time and when out he’s looked below average having multiple 2pick games, the man’s had a 4 sack game followed by a 8 I repeat 8 sack game that’s a bad Oline leaving him to regress so Panther Bryce fans can’t pipe down we’re just stating facts bc yes they’re winning with a elite defense give a little more context to your statements it Matters!
