Kind of overlooked due to our huge Panther win today, but we've got a really good basketball team lol.

We are up on the Blazers 71 -45 at the half, everyone is passing, and everyone seems to be hitting.  Al is 9/9 with 20 points and Batum is killing with 20 points and 6 assists.  Awesome.

I like Clifford but he's mismanaged this game horribly. Stopped coaching and assumed they were waving the white flag.

Bench has been a let down. Now he's closing with Al when we need stops. Hmmmm.

Yeah, thats part of the reason we lost to chicago, Friday.

Lamb, Batum, and Lin have been all awesome additions. 

The front office appears to have finally acknowledged that:

1. Analytics work and

2. The D-League has value 

Unfortunately it took them this long to get with the times while successful teams, particularly in the West, have been operating like this for years. I just wish they were more proactive instead of reactive.

Maybe they'll figure out drafting eventually...

Pretty good game, aside from the horrible coaching. Clifford either needs to figure this out now or leave town with Jefferson.

That's another thing I accepted yesterday. Jefferson had a ton of points, but he was getting them in obnoxious ways. He is not a fit at all on this team and he needs to be traded or bought out. That would really tell me we're headed in the right direction, which I think we are.

Chuck's back? Looks like I'll go back to RealGM

*looks at RealGM, remembers the cesspool it also is even when Chuck isn't there

Haha. RealGM isn't that bad, but it certainly has its flaws. The Hornets folks are way too optimistic sometimes and have followed a mediocre franchise with much more gusto than this franchise has ever deserved, particularly in the Bobcats years. I've always been more into following football over basketball so I guess it's a matter of preference, but still...

On the positive side they have the sense of humor that comes from dealing with years of mediocrity. 

The General Board is where the cesspool of hot-takers and bandwagon folks reside. They worship the uber-analytic folks like Hinkie and think he's just so far ahead of the curve despite the results, while franchises like Charlotte just trying to put a respectable product out on the floor every night are ripped as "treadmill" franchises.

I suppose most here are like me where it's Panthers 1st, Hornets 2nd depending on the type of season each is having and I like the more casual, yet knowledgeable board here. Obviously we can be really reactionary about the Hornets but at least here we all remember our QB is Cam Newton, smile and move on.

Wish there was more of a crowd in here but on a Panthers-centric board with all the headlines they're making it's understandable.

I think they're even more pessimistic and negative. That's why I don't care for RealGM either. Constant bitching and if a guy struggles once, trade him. Basically 50 Chucks with slightly better grammar.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
