Warriors @ Hornets Game(day) Thread

Recommended Posts

Well, I promised I wouldn't come into this forum anymore talking basketball, but seeing as my boys are coming to town tonight to play your boys, it seemed appropriate. The game is at 7:00e/4:00p so I probably won't be off work for the beginning of it. 

My Dubs HAVE to lose eventually, will it be on the road tonight against a team playing its best ball of the season? It could definitely happen. 

Lets go Warriors.

Steph Curry Tampering Night should be interesting.

Wanting to see what happens with Al out for an extended period of time. Judging by last year it was generally thought that Al's ball stopping, inefficient scoring and being a complete liability on defense was what killed that season, but without him in the Bucks game on Sunday the Hornets weren't able to score inside at all and it really hindered their ability to move the ball around in the offense.

Best case scenario during the time he's out is the team plays well enough to let the FO know the team can move on without him for good. My fear is that if the opposite happens it will convince everyone that he needs to stay.

I'd like to get a win here but I just don't see where this roster exploits mismatches. Batum could have a good game, Kemba could go UConn and Lamb could get hot off the bench and I'm still not sure the Hornets would win this.

Also apparently today is the anniversary of the Warriors terminating Sprewell's contract in 1997 after he choked Carlesimo, so there's that.

Hoping Lin gets more time to guard Curry then Kemba. I imagine there will be a lot of Charlotte Curry jerseys in the stand as well. I believe it's a Dell Curry t-shirt promotion as well, so kudos to the Marketing team for scheduling that with Curry's only game in Charlotte.

Also the debut of the black jerseys, which are awesome once you get over the fact that they have to wear sleeves.

I don't think the Warriors have lost a game while wearing their alternate sleeved "slate" jerseys, and I still hate them.

waiting for Curry to come out and remove his warmups to reveal a Hornets jersey and then he DDTs Klay Thompson and Dremond Green, then he gives Luke Walton the Stunner and gives him the middle finger Stone Cold Style, then he stands on the scorers table and drinks three beers at once, then pukes and proceeds to drop 40 on the Warriors in a cruel twist of fate, giving them their first loss of the season.

All that and no inclusion of Cam?

I haven't been hurt like that since the badass billy gunn turned on the road dog jesse james. 

You hit me right in the feels

...and just as Curry is soaking it in with the home crowd going wild, Steve Kerr comes out of the crowd with a baseball bat. OMG STEVE KERR IS BACK. Kerr is wielding the bat, point his finger at Curry ....then the lights go out and a mummer falls over the crowd....the lights come back on, and my god, ITS CAM ITS CAM. Cam Newton is standing next to Curry and the crowd loses their mind! Cam and Steph look at each other and nod, then put their fingers around Kerr's neck for a double choke slam!!!  The two stars rise their arms in victory and the camera fades.

This is only acceptable if Cam goes on to lead the Panthers to a super bowl win. Otherwise I'm against it.

    • Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.
    • You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.  
    • The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
