Lance, Kemba, Hendo, & Vonleh all out. Pacers killing us. However, Big Al looks great & like he's ready to roll.

MKG continues to knock down jumpers. He looks excellent &, more importantly, comfortable shooting jumpers. He's gonna have a breakout year. He's 4-4 already & just drained a 20ft jump shot with perfect form. He got the ball & the defender did the patent "MKG's got the ball, back off 6ft move" & MKG immediately, without hesitating, buried the jumper.

Somebody give Mark Price a cookie.

Should have never traded Sessions....I have a feeling our 2nd team is gonna struggle with Roberts out there

 

Or just kept Napier

Napier is another Kemba. Don't want that. Roberts is more than capable of being the man

Is there a chance Lance or Kemba miss the opener? They've both missed several games with injuries. Haven't heard anything on if they're really hurt or just being held out as a precaution.

Would be a bummer not to have our #2 & #3 guys.

 

Has to be a precaution. All the coach-speak about "We have to treat this like it's a regular season game" is just coach-speak. In reality I'm sure Clifford is enjoying the opportunity to figure out how his second and third rotations fit together, because the starting lineup is obviously set in stone at this point.

 

If all the new additions don't gel out of the gate, it won't be because of lack of playing time in the preseason. LeBron has even admitted it's going to take awhile for the Cavs to really be the team everybody expects. Usually you see a bunch of fluky wins from bottom feeders over contenders early on before the dust really settles around December.

 

Really excited for MKG. Would love to see him keep these preseason performances up against the Greek Freak.

That's true, but not on Wednesday. The players are pumped about the rebrand and seem to really understand what I means to this city. I fully expect us to mop the floor with the Bucks and absolutely destroy them.

Ugh. Charlotte sports fan syndrome. Literally everything about that game points to the scenario you just laid out so I fear a let-down.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
