Lance called the bank right before he hit the game-winning 3

Also notice Neal coming off the Al screen for what would have been a wide open three and notice Cliff's reaction.

They say the play was designed for Lance but it looks like he was supposed to hit Neal in rhythm for the shot.

Clifford isn't used to having superstar(s). Sometime, you just gotta sit back and let your star players do what God blessed them to do; God given talents.

In all seriousness it can't be easy for him to play new guys over the guys he knows and coached last year, but I applaud him for making the changes so soon. That, as much as anything has turned things around.

Lance is not a superstar. He is a very good all around player though.

 

Lance is all-star caliber right now. And by caliber I mean he may make it, he may not. But, he'll be in the conversation.

 

Superstar? You're right. Not yet. He's got an offensive game that could become Derrick Rose-esque and a defensive game that could become Ron Artest-esque. He's got the physical tools to get both of those things done.

 

Everyone has to remember Lance just turned 24 in September, he's really really young.

 

Right now, he's our Tony Allen but with a more prolific offensive game. When the Grizzlies got Tony Allen, it's really what propelled them to a Western Conference Final. That's what he is right now.

 

In 3-4 years? I see him being a max contract superstar if he can stay healthy and continue to mature. He's your classic Rucker Park, NY style baller. Mean, charismatic, and fiery. And yeah like you said very good all around player.

Cliff said in the post game that the play was designed for Lance to drive to the hoop. The defense made a good switch and he took the shot. Cliff said he made the right decision based on the call and the defense but I see your point about Neal. Still there was less than 2 seconds when he made his decision. That's tough.

One of my favorite things to do after big moments like this is blow it up on my PC screen and scan the audience. There are always a few fans: Hands on head guy, already celebrating guy, already sulking guy, guy with beer belly exposed, woman gasping with hand in front of mouth, and guy yelling "nooooooo".

 

 

The players have great reactions too. Cody looks relieved, Big Al looks like he believed all along, Bismack looks like he just saw his first pair of boobs, PJ looks like his professor just asked him to turn in his homework, and MKG looks like he needs the ball to go in more than anything on the planet.

 

Then there is this woman that looks like Julia Louis Dreyfus from Seinfeld and when the ball goes in she puts on her O face. The Black guy next to her looks unimpressed.

 

Kudos to the guy in the green Lance Stephenson jersey completely losing it behind the backboard. You can see all of this around the 1:15

weird, why would clifford act like wtf when lance asked for the dam ball during the timeout?

Because the play was designed for Lance to drive to the basket. Lance made the right decision because the shot went in... LOL

Jordan ' s reaction was muted too, like he was happy Lance made the shot but was wondering WTF.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By bandu · Posted

      take a  look around the league at other young Qb's around Bryce Young's age group  such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted also joined teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  just because Bryce Young was a #1 overall pick does not necessarily mean that he will become improve with time if history tells you anything it's matter of fact just the opposite . lBryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history pf the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  you have to ignore alot of FACTS & be really ignorant to the FACT to think Bryce Young is the future at Qb if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying

      to me these two signings were so bad for the Panthers at the time of our young team. "Sean Gilbert was signed by the Carolina Panthers on April 21, 1998, after being traded from the Washington Redskins in a deal that sent the Panthers two first-round picks (Nos. 5 and 12) to Washington. The Panthers then re-signed Gilbert to a 7-year, $46.5 million contract extension on the same date"  The other was Jason Peters being picked in the First round of the 1998 draft. "Peter played for the Panthers from 1998 to 2001, appearing in 38 games (starting 20) and recording 88 total tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery His NFL career was cut short by a chronic neck stinger, forcing him to retire after the 2001 season
