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.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
