when I see his video highlights, I see him hurdling defensive players. Nice, but the NFL will put a stop to that-I see fluff, not top 20.

Yeah I mean we got mugged all game, at least 20 fouls not called so not surprised if they league takes action on the small market team. It would be their MO. But Detroit has plays like that 10 times a game so not sure? It was a dumb play, but everyone is watching in slowmo but it really was like a quick thing that happened and he DID get his head hit before that (no call btw) and I think Bam was out of bounds too (no call). I think Bam was moving already, Melo isn't that strong of a player to be honest and it didn't look like much effort was put in. Also history should play a part and Melo isn't a dirty player, it's not Draymond we're talking about here. But the NBA is the NBA so

Like their draft room on draft day being some mountainside resort, etc.

The league is in fact reviewing the bam trip for possible suspension and fine for Lamelo Ball. Just lol

All valid points - I think the team is well positioned to make a deep run with the players they have, my big concern is goalie play, it is buy far the most important element in the playoffs, I assume Freddie will start and do ok for a series or maybe two, does Rod use the tandem approach? If not when Freddie wears down is the Buss going to be ready? And Kooch is the wild card in all this, it's going to be an interesting playoff!!

“What product do you use in your hair?“

Yep, I dont care about size or 40 time. Give me a quick shifty receivers who runs good routes and creates space. We seem to prioritize what receivers do once they get the ball in their hands. I want to get a receiver where you prioritize what they do before they catch the ball.

Watching him throughout the game he just looked exhausted. He's had a hell of a rookie season and early on looked like a five year veteran at times. He's a premier young talent. And you know he was disappointed with himself. Every rookie hits this point eventually. He'll adjust. I expect him to bounce back against the Magic/Sixers on Friday.

New season of picks!

What? We made no adjustments to Miami's zone in the 4th Q and went from being up like 10 to down like 5 before the dumbass called a timeout. Also had a chance on multiple possessions late to call a timeout when our offense looked way out of sync and did nothing. I'm happy we won, but it was in spite of coaching. If Coby doesn't hit that ridiculous 3 on a terribly designed in bounds play at the end of the regulation, we lose the game.

So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

1/18

My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team. The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines. If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.

Melo apologized and said he had been hit on the head and didn't know where he was at.

Him crying like a bitch when melo finally got to the foul line and play had to be paused was a horrible look for him. Should have T'd him up. They got every call all night outside Ball's dirty play and you could argue Bam was about to step on Melos wrist when that happened too and it was more a get off me swipe then I'm trying to trip you. Bam sold it too because that's what the pussy ass heat players are taught to do and then they cry when it doesn't work

I don't think it's a rhythm issue for Kon. I think his legs are gone. It's his first NBA season and he's played a ton of minutes and been super important to the team. I'm glad he keeps shooting but I think it's more tired legs than a slump. We will need him if we make the series against Detroit but I think reducing his minutes and playing white and williams more might be the answer.

Not just top 30 visits. There have been no reports/evidence we have met with Sadiq in any capacity. Him being the pick would be extremely unusual at this point.

He caught quite a bit here, too

we havent shown any interest in Sadiq, it would be a huge move away from the norm to pick him without using a top 30 on him

Good. Because Nick Scott was re-signed

Spoelstra is an overpaid twat who is still living off the LeBron glory years of the early 2010s.

2026 TE Class | Final Production vs. Athleticism Tanner Koziol is the Day 3 guy with TE1 potential. Other guys we like (outside of Sadiq/Stowers): Max Klare Justin Joly Carsen Ryan This group is full of late Day 2/early Day 3 TE2 types. https://x.com/gridirongrading/status/2044229621801980082?s=46

Just saw Spoestra’s bitch ass took the opportunity in his post game presser to ask the NBA to discipline Melo for Bam’s injury after saying he should’ve been thrown out of the game. What a crybaby, sore fuging loser.

Coincidentally, watched the Ross Tucker with Greg Cosell linebacker edition just now and Cosell singled him out with one other guy at the end of the segment. Also on the Panthers relevant front, Cosells was big on Rodriguez. Earlier in the video.
