GT: Game #2 - Charlotte Vs Oklahoma (Dec 26th) 

Post#1 » by BigSlam » Fri Dec 25, 2020 2:41 pm

Biz to start at the 5, but it’ll be interesting to see how the back up 5 mins are allocated.

I’m also anticipating a really solid game by Melo - a bounce back game after his debut. I think he might quiet some of the doubters (again) this game.

Having Biz start any game is a failure on the FO to properly build a roster

Love the guy, but hes a 3rd string situational/emergency option at this point in his career.

Could've said the same about the Cavs without Love. Although

Sounds like the guys don't know what the rotation will look like yet? Seems like an odd quote on game day.

Borrego was asked about Carey recently, on when he will play and how he is coming along, and he answered "Vernon is a good kid"

That means he is Noah Vonleh levels of lost and we won't see him this year

We signed him to a long term deal (for a second rounder), so we must have seen something we liked.

Vernon will be fine in due time.

Vernon's game seems pretty smooth to me offensively but I can definitely see some issues defensively as he adjusts to playing against bigger and faster players. He's also at present a poor passer so hopefully he's working hard on this deficiencies.

He'll still be a much better pro than Biz in the long run.

How does he propose playing 10 deep with an open roster spot, an injured Zeller and not playing Vern or Dicky?

The new honeycomb key looks pretty sweet.

I wish there was more purple in the court or around the surrounds of the court though. It's a LOT of teal everywhere.
