Ready to roll.  Panthers have me distracted, but I have been keeping up with the preseason, and Batum is hopefully what I mistakenly thought Stephenson would be for us.  Defender, shooter, and facilitator.  He seemed the part in preseason 

We will miss MKG for sure, but I think are better equipped this year than years past to deal with his loss.

I think if we stay healthy we can make the playoffs this year.

Pretty stoked!!! Lets do this!

I am pumped for the season to finally tip off!

I am looking for an offense that passes the ball, uses the dribble and the pass to create, and doesn't shoot a lot of midrange jumpers. 

I think Frank gets less than 10 minutes of burn. Cliff likes guys that are strong defensively, and that hurts Frank a little. At the same time, Jordan wants Frank to be a contributor, so I do think he sees the court regularly even early in the season.

Whiteside has been a straight up beast, Bosh and McRoberts are back, Wade is healthy, Dragic is locked down, and Deng is motivated.

I can't wait!

yeah, the Heat's roster might be the most complete.. we can have a good season if things fall the right way, but tonight against the Heat- i am not expecting much more than the team to compete and be in it down the stretch..

Came here to make this gameday thread if it hadn't been made already lol... 

Needless to say, I AM PSYCHED!!! 

I do expect frank to contribute right away, and I'm excited to see Cliff giving a young guy like PJ the start now that his old vet staples are gone.   Love the balance and flow of the offense from what I've seen so far in their limited minutes in the preseason, and I can't wait to see it in action now on a full-time basis.  I'm just excited overall.  And I stand by my previous predictions that we will be a top 5 seed in the east.  This is the best team we' very had offensively and the deepest from top to bottom that we've ever had in the second incarnation of Charlotte basketball, and I expect us to shock the "experts" out there...   Tonight will be a great night to get that started with too because yesterday I was listening to Ryan Rusillo, whom I greatly respect, who was predicting the Heat may be the second best team in the east, which I think is a joke...   So let's show them tonight!

Let's see what these boys can do.  I always rooted for Lin to become a star in this league, here he has the chance to start and perhaps be a key guy in our offense.  I know if he feels like he is open, he's not afraid to pull the trigger.  Kemba is another guy who will take his shots.

The preseason got me thinking this could possibly be a good team, while the players may not be all-world.

      Our Buddy Chase Blackburn Fired

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47371200/sources-rams-fire-special-teams-coordinator-chase-blackburn LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams have fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move marks the first in-season coaching change that Rams head coach Sean McVay has made in his nine seasons in Los Angeles. Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter. The Rams, 11-4 and second place in the NFC West, lost to the Seahawks on Thursday night in a game that included a Seattle punt return for a touchdown and a missed 48-yard field goal by Los Angeles kicker Harrison Mevis. The Seahawks (12-3) overtook the Rams for first place in the division and the top overall record in the NFC thanks to the 38-37 overtime victory. Though the Rams have lost only four games this season, three have involved special teams miscues. In the Rams' first loss of the season, 33-26 to the Eagles, Los Angeles had its final two offensive possessions end with blocked kicks. In the Rams' Week 10 victory over the Saints, kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal attempt. After the game, McVay said the Rams' special teams issues "can't continue like this." Los Angeles replaced long-snapper Alex Ward with Jake McQuaide and Karty with Mevis, who had not missed a kick until Thursday night in Seattle. Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams' special teams coordinator. A former linebacker for the Giants and Panthers, he also has worked as an assistant with Carolina and Tennessee.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      It was a bad play from Icky but the OL didn't give up a sack until late in the 4th quarter and Bryce just stood there like he was canatonic. If our 3rd year number one overall pick can't overcome one single sack against a rebuilding Saints team that should only have 2 wins this season then it isn't ever going to happen   This is your quote. I mean I’ve quoted it twice. It was followed by calling people that defended him fugers and several other meltdowns I can also quote.    Shame you for working for a living??? Wow this is a whole new level to your victim mentality thing you like to do. You don’t have to watch games live. Or don’t spend an entire thread arguing about something you didn’t get the full picture of. I miss parts of games all the time. That’s just life. Not even going into the whole losing all respect thing.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By frankw · Posted

      Rams ended up firing ST coach and former Panthers coach Chase Blackburn after the loss. Sounds all too familiar.
