Tip off: 8 PM EST

 

Past Results:

Memphis - 71

Charlotte - 69

 

Last time these teams met, it was an ugly game.  With it being the Hornets second game of the year, both teams came out and shot 36% from the field.  There were a total of 39 TO between the two teams, the Hornets having 20 of those.

 

Since that game, both teams have gone in different directions.  Memphis is sitting pretty near the top of the West while Charlotte is busy playing catch up, but two straight wins and more practices is giving this team more confidence.

 

With the return of MKG, I think this game will be closer than it would've been a week ago.

 

Projected Starters

CHA:

Kemba

Lance

MKG

Zeller

Big Al

 

MEM:

Conley

Allen

Vince

Z-Bo

Gasol

 

Looking forward to a hard fought game.  Hornets seem to be flowing better offensively, and hopefully the win on Wednesday night, one of the more complete games from the team, will carry into tonights game.  

 

Projection

Charlotte - 84

Memphis - 80

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
