Rumor has it the game will be available to watch on the OKC app. Not entirely sure if that means you have to actually download their app or if it's available on their website.

Matas Buzelis got his option picked up, he's projected to start, projected to average 15/5 with 1.5 blocks per game.

Love to hear the front office's reasoning on this one considering he plays the same position as Salaun. If the Hornets just hired the RealGM Hornets board...... viewtopic.php?f=53&t=2383492 Just looking at that thread makes it all the more depressing.

Mason still not there? Interesting….

I think we WANT to start Kalk. Hope he can get it done. Highest upside ...

The ball movement and off ball cutting they're doing at the end of that video is winning basketball. I really hope they're committed to playing like that.

Kalk/Diabate seems like the plan at center.

I'm cool with it. I'd rather have the young guys out there than Plumdog.

Just really weird that Mason is a new add on a one year deal and he's missing training camp for personal reasons.

Yeah, and as much as he’s **** on in this board we need him.

For any sickos who might be interested, looks like Richie from Buzz Beat has put together a roster guide for the upcoming season. Looks like it's $3.50. do with that info what you will.

Him beating out the other two centers would obviously be best case scenario for this team going forward. I think no matter what the front office might view Moose as that off the bench energy big and not necessarily the guy you want banging against the other teams starting seven footer at the start of every game. No need to have moose eat up some dumb fouls. I do think that Mason's absence has certainly opened the door for kalk To possibly sneak in as Opening Day starter.

No surprises with the first injury report. It is weird that Mason has missed an entire week of the start of training camp with an excused absence. There's only a handful of things in a basketball player's life that would be serious enough for them to miss training camp. So with that being said hope all is well in his world.

I was coming in to say that the plumlee absence is getting weird

He's probably getting some goth tattoos.

Plumdog. I just don't care. All I want is he will be the 3rd string C for us. Better to give Kalk more minutes than to that old ****.
