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.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
