Might as well get the chatter going early.  We all need a welcome distraction. 

 

Keys to winning.

 

-Post defense on Randolf and Gasol. 

-At least break even in the rebounding column.

-Big Al needs to have a big day

-Good 3 point shooting.

-MKG keeps the good shooting up.

 

 

Lets go Hornets.  I hope we get another great turnout at the Hive.

 

Go Hornets!

This will definitely be a good test, Memphis has the best 4/5 combo in the NBA (imo).

That used to be Utah until they decided they didn't need an all-star caliber 4 and an all-NBA caliber 5 and let them walk for nothing.

The Southeast division thanks Utah for their contributions.

Wishing for the best but bracing for an L because 1) I'll be there and they often lose when I'm there (though definitely not every time) and 2) as amazing as opening night was (AND IT WAS AMAZING), we came back to barely beat one of the NBA's worst teams by 2 in OT. Still, any game, any winner. 

 

It just seems like we're likely to see a lapse in energy/execution after what was expended Weds. But, I saw them go 1-1 in preseason.

This will be a good measurement game for us.  We always seem to have trouble with the Grizzlies.  I'm confident though.  Grizz are on the road on back to back games.

      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.
