Helluva comeback tonight! From down 20 to winning by 18. Hornets outscored the Hawks 60-35 in the second half. That's how you do it. Kemba was excellent per usual, D12 had 20 and 15 and kicked ass in the post and Malik hit a couple 3s late. Frank had his best game in quite a while too.

Probably most impressive was we won despite 21 turnovers and with Cody out. Having him back and MKG helping on perimeter defense will make things better.

Few thoughts two games into the season:

I think it's realistic that Howard could average 18/13 in this system. This is an ideal team for him in many ways and Clifford knows how to get the best minutes out of him. Kaminsky is still prone to boneheaded mistakes, but I'm really high on him. Marvin Williams talent is waning and might be best suited to play on the bench if he keeps playing like this. Not worried about Monk yet. Kemba is still Kemba. This team will have a great season if they get healthy.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.

      We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
