Hawesome? The original meaning of awesome was different than today. Like, a hurricane wiping out places was awesome, the Black Plague was awesome, etc. It can really be positive or negative connotatively depending on context.


Perfect!


some days he is Hawesome, some days he is Haweful

Judging from the preseason games Lamb > Marco. Well done.

Glad we won this one. It's preseason, but it's always nice to get a win and seeing it happen eight feet from the court was pretty sweet. The obnoxious Minnesota fans near me cheered as if they won the NBA finals every time a foul call went their way, to say nothing of a rebound, steal or basket. Got awfully quiet in the second half though since they had little to cheer about.

This one came down to someone with each unit making plays. Kemba and Nic got Charlotte there. Frank and Lamb kept us there with a dose of help from Hawes on the glass and Marvin on the foul line.

And you could judge by 2015-16 season that Lamb > Marco. But I still think Marco will be ahead of Lamb in the rotation until maybe midseason. Cliff stubborn like that. Every year it take him until January/February and a bunch of unnecessary losses to make a obvious change in the rotation.

Box scored this one, but based on the games I've watched, does it seem that the form on MKG's shot has regressed? Under Price, I could have sworn he was straightening that mess out a bit, but from what I recall from the first three games, it looks as deformed as ever.

It looks to me as though his elbow is too extremely placed directly under the ball.

if his shot has regressed then its just going to be broken, this thing needs to be fixed by now

This is my fear from watching him through the first few. Maybe I'm imagining things (perhaps someone could sort me out with video evidence), but it seems like any progress he made with Price has disappeared. He doesn't seem as shy about shooting it, which is good, but he's shooting it at a 30% clip (actually 28%) and the form looks vintage MKG. Oh well. Love the guy, but...

Of course, his shot looked pretty good coming off this Hawes screen:

Lavine was scoring against about five different Hornets. He slowed down a bit in the second half with Kidd-Gilchrist on him most of the time.

It looked like it did years ago. There was still a hitch and the ball was rarely going straight at the basket -- either to the right or the left.

Marco is younger than Lamb, so he still has some times to improve his game. Oh wait... :nonono:
