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.

    • A team should always be putting at least one or two draft picks in at tackle and guard each season. Those guys just don't last nearly long enough and those that do get very, very expensive. In our situation, we need a little more time to see what the Icky injury works itself out to. Njiman performed really well out there and if this injury lingers into the next season, then he might do well enough there to hold the line for the team. Or we could draft early if there is a stud LOT in the draft when our spot comes along.  Honestly, we may be looking at replacing both LT and RT this season at this point. Moton is getting long in the tooth and while he deserves a shot to go for a playoff run with this team, I don't know whether we will really see him come back next season yet. It's still so darned early in all of this to say.
    • Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential.  This year was the outlier.  Regression to the mean is unavoidable.  So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.
    • One thing I noticed in this game (and I say this as the biggest of Bryce Young haters) is that Bryce did do a solid job of throwing into voids in this game, and leading receivers on crossers.  There were a few times where I was thinking "where the hell is he throwing it" only for a receiver to appear out of nowhere and catch it in stride.  Mike McDaniel might be a guy that can squeeze a little bit of production out of the otherwise ghastly Bryce Young. His offenses heavily feature that style of passing game.  I've heard Idzik is drawing interest from other teams.  If so, bringing McDaniel in at OC would be a stellar move.  I know it'll never happen, but fun to think about.
