China game tonight

[JJman Returns]

Hornets play Clippers in China soon....at 1:30 AM. Almost no one in America will watch but it is cool to see us get some international attention.

I'm watching...   Pretty cool, Blake and Lin came out to speak to the crowd and they erupted when Jeremy spoke. 

[Proudiddy]

First observation...   That 25 lbs Al lost is immediately noticeable and he looks surprisingly light on his feet.  That still pisses me off knowing he came in that fat and out of shape because he wasn't playing for a contract last year.

Next observation...   We come out and throw two sloppy turnovers right off the bat lol.   Seemed like a lack of chemistry as new guys still aren't sure where the other guys are going or what they're doing.  But, then I felt less bad about it because the clips then went and did the same thing two possessions in a row. 

I liked the Batum addition because he is talented and was highly sought after league wide for years, but honestly, I thought he would just be a good solid jack of all trades, master of not guy...   A huge reason he was in such high demand a few years ago was that he still was so young and looked to have tons of untapped potential.   I felt like that window had closed at this point and he is what he is...   BUT, he is looking like a go-to guy here so far.   Very impressed in his assertiveness. 

[Proudiddy]

Wow...   Very, very sloppy so far.   Batum is amazing though. 

[Proudiddy]

Lol so many turnovers...   I hope it's just because they're trying to put on a show for the crowd there, because this is uncharacteristically horrible. 

Also, Kemba has taken 3 shots so far I think...   All of them bad. 

[Proudiddy]

Redick has 17 with 3 mins left in the first lol. 

Linsanity is real. 

Kemba has turned it around.

Wow...   Very, very sloppy so far.   Batum is amazing though. 

Batum was the only one that played competitively in the offseason (Eurobasket) and it shows.

[JJman Returns]

Lin looked pretty good.

Just a fun fact: he lost all that weight by only cutting out fried chicken, which is hilarious

It was a little sloppy at first, but I liked what I saw out of this new group.

I am loving this new team / additions. We are so much more deep and balanced offensively.
