Can't wait to see our new and improved team.

Excited to see Mo, PJ and JT getting more minutes, no Neal... Those are all good things.

Furthermore, it's awesome that we traded for Mo before the all-star break because I'm sure it gave him more time to get acclimated with our calls, plays, sets, etc.

Without Durant, the Hornets match up better defensively (as noted above).  I wouldn't be surprised if Charlotte threw some combo of Henderson/MKG at Westbrook with some sort of soft double to force him to shoot jump shots. 

 

Further, look for a heavy dose of Al Jefferson as always... It'll be interesting to see if OKC matches up with Kantor or Ibaka defensively.  I think Al has the advantage v. Kantor.  If they play Ibaka on Al, look for Cody to test Kantor's athleticism.

 

Finally, I hope Mo can have a nice game off the bench, I think we'll definitely need it. 

 

Boom Boom Clap!... err I mean, lets go Hornets!

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
