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.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.

      I was just dispelling the "he can't throw past 25 yards" focus jfra.
