First big test of the season


lightsout

Recommended Posts

Winning 3 straight is awesome. I love it. But, I'm already looking at Saturday. We have a damn good Memphis team coming to Charlotte looking to improve an already impressive 6-1 record. Impressive due to both the level of competition they've faced...as well as the fact that they are on a 6 game win streak since losing to the Clippers in their season opener. Beat both Miami and OKC by double digits, and they'll be coming here after playing the Knicks on Friday.

I think we take a pretty convincing loss here. Our defense hasn't been great so far this season, and Memphis puts up points. I'm guessing we lose something like 107-89. The ONLY way we win is if our defense plays it's ass off and our boys Kemba and MKG continue to ball out. We do have 2 days rest coming in, so that's good. More time for MKG to get 100% and more time to prepare on how to stop that impressive ass back-court and post play of the Grizzlies. Conley can run and shoot and Randolph is just...good, in general.

Best case scenario: NY goes and wins in San Antonio tonight. NY goes to Memphis tomorrow and has their unbeaten record snapped. Memphis rolls into Charlotte on a high horse and loses.

Honestly though, we need to make these home games count and it will be an important 4 game home stretch.

Memphis just beat the undefeated Knicks last night. This will be a good game to gauge where this team is really at.. Did we A) put together a good string of wins OR B did we just beat up on a Nene & Wall-less Wiz team and a Love & Rubio-less Wolves team?

The answer is probably Both but you have to stat somewhere

    • Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.  
    • With apologies to Lady Cowboy fan, any day we can screw over the Cowboys is a GOOD day…
