I'll go ahead and set the goal for if we don't have the worst win/loss this season, that's an accomplishment and a successful season.
The Lamb flock's vision has come true.

The ONLY thing that looked good tonight other than Mully's rebounding was those home uni's. They look really nice........with one caveat:

Get rid of the light blue down the sides. It looks freaking awful.

The orange against the dark, dark blue really pops, the C with the crown looks tight on the shorts, the font style and size of the names and numbers etc is great but that light blue just kills the whole thing.

It's SO out of place.

the font of the numbers just hurts my eyes, and it's confusing. it seems like every announcer in a game i've watched between summer league and preseason has mistaken biyombo for someone else, because you have to squint to tell the number is 0 on his jersey. it's like a font used in a science fiction movie that will be weird enough to watch, but not for 20 years.

He had a three on two break - him in the middle and two athletic wings either side in stride (Hendo and MKG). Rather than trying to set one of them up for the easy basket, he went it alone and totally pooched it.

It was pretty amusing.

UGH! This is ugly, no matter the obvious lack of consistency due to the poor rotations, stupid rookie coach, and continued crap shooting. Defense is important, but we are building this team with brick chuckers (as opposed to actual brick masons, who are true artists in their skill). Kemba, Hyphen, Hendo, Biz, Mullens, UGLY. Gordon has always been a volume scorer, not an accurate shooter.

With no low post offense, crap shooting, and all the other issues, it's another bummer folks.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

MKG (in the VERY small sample size we have to work with) at least seems creative with the ball.

I would venture to say that MKG needs the ball in his hands a whole lot more. If not to shoot it, to create for others.

I trust his passing and decision making more than I do Kemba's at this stage.

What a weird boxscore. From Mully's rebounds and shooting percentage, to Mayo being close to TD and Curry with 7 rebounds and 3 blocks in 20-some minutes.

because in the long run, he'll be better. I don't think either of them has MKG's potential.

T-Rob has only looked slightly better than MKG this preseason with a young Kings team that has been clicking this preseason unlike the 'Cats. T-Rob has been averaging 8 points on 38% shooting and 6 rebounds in 21 minutes while MKG averaged 6 points on 32% shooting and 5 rebounds in 21 minutes. MKG is almost 3 years younger than T-Rob with more skills to boot. I'm sure that MKG will be much better than T-Rob in the long run.

As far as Barnes, he's been scoring at a good rate in Golden State (10 points on 49% shooting & 48% from 3 in 25 minutes), but he doesn't and hasn't offered much else in any other category.
