Hornets vs. 76ers Game Thread

I'm so hyped about the preseason opener @ Philly Wednesday i couldn't wait.

Projected Starters:

Hornets: 76ers

PG: Kemba Walker PG: Tony Wroten (MCW shoulder injury)

SG: Lance Stephenson SG: Hollis Thompson

SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist SF: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute

PF: Marvin Williams PF: Nerlens Noel

C: Al Jefferson C: Henry Sims

I expect a fairly easy win as we are the obviously more talented team especially with MCW hurt for Philly. Should be a great day to watch Charlotte HORNETS Basketball.

Lets hope for a good entertaining game with no injuries for either side. And lastly,

WELCOME BACK HORNETS!!!!!

Is Philly going to play nerlens at the 4? I understand eventually wanting nerlens and embiid on the floor together if you're Philly but nerlens skill set is not for the 4 yet.

Just like football, if we lose to that roster, it's preseason. Means nothing. Purple and teal has officially taken the floor. Heres to good vibes tomorrow, people.

    • And really, it should be 4 reasons with the last one being that there were ZERO other offensive weapons on that team in 2024, opposing defenses only had to worry about one player all year long and they constantly double and triple teamed him right off the snap all season.  In 2023, we still had Jacob Cowing who had 90 catches that year and was drafted by the 49ers last year, so teams couldn't just send everyone after T-Mac on every passing down.
    • I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team. (2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way) (3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton (3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way) (3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun (3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee
    • 3 main reasons he was better in 2023 and none of them concern me for his NFL prospects 1. Totally new coaching staff that was a massive downgrade and had god awful play calling and designs, the entire fan base was ready to run the coaching staff out of town a month into their first season and the play caller ended up getting changed because it was so bad. 2. Along with the staff downgrade, his QB played significantly worse after being the Pac 12 Freshman of the Year in 2023.  Constantly missed T-Mac when he was wide open, lost out on a number of TDs and a good amount of yardage, half the time T-Mac still almost made miraculous catches on the bad passes too. 3. He hurt his ankle over the summer and missed all of fall camp only to return to practice a few days before the season started and I think he had to deal with it all season long and was slightly limping at times mid season too, but kept fighting through it to still be a 1st team All American.
