Game Thread: Charlotte @ Orlando 10/8 7:00pm

[BigSlam]

May has some points but is largely ineffective on the boards or on defense. He can move better than I expected but the same old issues are there.

How does his body/body language look? Is he blowing hard yet?

[Bassman]

Ammo hits a 3 but it's erased by a Dudley foul. Frenchie trys to put one in close, his clang cleaned up by Okafor.

DJ is getting a TON of time in this quarter. Pietris is abusing Dudley down low...a bit surprising.

Just tried to run a pick & roll w/Ajinca....bad...

Reddick just faked Ammo out of his socks and hit a runner. End of Q3 94 - 62.

I think May looks to be in really good condition...better than I expected. He's not doubled over all the time sucking wind, so the condition is a positive. Now if this was a back-to-back game he'd be laid out on a cart. But it's going to take time to build his seasonal conditioning. I just think his defense, rebounding are poor.

[Bassman]

Ajinca really looks bad...I mean grade school bad!!! He is a PROJECT with a bold P.

Shannon Brown in now, Felts back in for DJ. Ammo getting time.

Dudley hits an open 3. Brown makes a steal but can't finish at the rim (contested).

Another horrible shot by Frenchie. Oh the humanity....

[Bassman]

Mop time with 7 minutes left, Taylor, Shannon Brown, Jamero and Andre Brown in ( a 5th man not sure who).

Taylor working hard, trying to make an impression. A Brown not looking like a keeper....really looks bad...no hops in his body. I suspect LB will cut him and hope some magic fairy allows a quality PF to get cut.

It will be interesting to see how they respond in their 2nd and 3rd pre-season games. Doesn't take long to see the strengths and weaknesses.

[amcoolio]

Oh well, I'll take this loss. As long as we rape the Buccaneers this weekend.

[fluffernutter]

Glad it's over.

The suck.

[e4Nf6]

Hey guys! just got here, what'd I miss?

oh, I see

I guess you can't spot teams 30 point leads and expect to come back.....

[chabber]

Felts looked horrible. Coach took him out and sat him beside him at one point and made the other coaches slide down the bench. When he came back in he didn't shoot it once the rest of the game when he normally would have and even threw out of a wide open 3 to another player. Me thinks he just got his first in game lecture from LB.
