LVSL: Charlotte Hornets (0-0) vs. Golden State Warriors (0-0)


Recommended Posts

Well, the time has come. The Charlotte Hornets will make their official debut tonight at 8:30.

 

It's come to my attention that the game will be broadcast on ESPN3 (safer than bootleg websites). So if you have internet access, you will have a chance to watch the Hornets game tonight instead of waiting for the replay.

 

With that said, here is the starting line-up for the Charlotte Hornets with the reserves listed behind them.

 

PG: Mickey McConnell, Jerome Dyson

SG: P.J. Hairston, James Bell, Roberto Nelson

SF: Justin Brownlee, Justin Jackson, Rion Brown

PF: Noah Vonleh, DeMon Brooks, Jamie Skeen, Josh Davis

C: Jordan Bachynski, Jared Shaw

 

Inactive: Cody Zeller (attending wedding)

 

Now for the Warriors roster (not a line-up)

 

PG: Nemanja Nedovic, Aaron Craft, Kiwi Gardner, Walt Lemon, Tyrus McGee

SG: Orlando Johnson, Rodney McGruder, Justin Holiday, Travis Bader

SF: Lance Goulbourne, Davon Usher, Roderick Odom

PF: James Michael McAdoo, Christian Watford, Mitchell Watt, Rob Loe

C:  Ognjen Kuzmic

 

Inactive: Festus Ezeli

 

Personally, I expect us to win pretty easily.

Im pumped! Things I'm curious about...

-How much range does Noah really have? how physical is he? Handling in the open court.

-pj's shot selection, defense and effort. Passing ability.

-bachynski - how quick he can move and how he runs the court. And if his blocking instincts are as good as advertised

Anyone know how I could watch it using ESPN 3 at work? I have espn through directv, but last time I checked, it wont allow you to watch it as a directv subscriber. You have to be through charter, TW, etc., IIRC.

Not sure if this helps but the "NBA Summer League" app is showing the games today as a free trial. Works well on my phone and has box score, play by play etc.

It's unfortunate that Ezeli pulled out. I would have liked to see Bachysnki against Ezeli.

 

Oh by the way, Mickey McConnell can ball. He was the starting point guard of the Texas Legends last year (P.J.'s team). He can drop dimes.

 

Roberto Nelson, Justin Jackson, Jamie Skeen, DeMonBrooks, James Bell, and Jerome Dyson are also pretty solid players in their own right.

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
