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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
