LVSL QF's: Charlotte Hornets vs. New York Knicks


Recommended Posts

Tip-Off: 4:00, NBATV

So.... we meet again.

After getting dismantled by the Knicks earlier in Summer League the 23rd seeded Charlotte Hornets have gone on a run to advance to the quarterfinals of the LVSL Tournament.

The Hornets have finally found their groove offensively but they're going to have to improve defensively if they want to beat a Knicks team that could have up to five roster players on it.

Having made it this far, we might as well win this thing.

Hornets Roster

PG: Mickey McConnell, Roberto Nelson, Jerome Dyson

SG: P.J. Hairston, Rion Brown, James Bell

SF: Justin Brownlee, Justin Jackson, DeMon Brooks

PF: Noah Vonleh, Josh Davis, Jamie Skeen

C: Cody Zeller, Jordan Bachysnki, Jarred Shaw

Knicks Roster

PG: Shane Larkin, Langston Galloway, Brandon Triche

SG: Tim Hardaway Jr., Shannon Brown, Zane Johnson

SF: Cleanthony Early, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Will Sheehey

PF: Jeremy Tyler, Travis Wear, Cameron Moore

C: Jordan Henriquez, Jordan Vandenberg

Inactive: Cole Aldrich

Shane Larkin is such a steady good player. He is going to be a ten year vet ala a Derek Fisher type guys who is just a solid leader wherever he is. Slightly more talented than Fisher too.

I think Noah Vonleah staying on the floor without fouling out and playing with more balance is a huge key.

Also it is amazing how less Jerome Dyson is playing we have been on a winning streak...have I mentioned i think he is horrible?

    • He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
    • Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
    • The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
