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.

      No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad

      I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle.

      Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
