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.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
