Well, I promised I wouldn't come into this forum anymore talking basketball, but seeing as my boys are coming to town tonight to play your boys, it seemed appropriate. The game is at 7:00e/4:00p so I probably won't be off work for the beginning of it. 

My Dubs HAVE to lose eventually, will it be on the road tonight against a team playing its best ball of the season? It could definitely happen. 

Lets go Warriors.

Steph Curry Tampering Night should be interesting.

Wanting to see what happens with Al out for an extended period of time. Judging by last year it was generally thought that Al's ball stopping, inefficient scoring and being a complete liability on defense was what killed that season, but without him in the Bucks game on Sunday the Hornets weren't able to score inside at all and it really hindered their ability to move the ball around in the offense.

Best case scenario during the time he's out is the team plays well enough to let the FO know the team can move on without him for good. My fear is that if the opposite happens it will convince everyone that he needs to stay.

I'd like to get a win here but I just don't see where this roster exploits mismatches. Batum could have a good game, Kemba could go UConn and Lamb could get hot off the bench and I'm still not sure the Hornets would win this.

Also apparently today is the anniversary of the Warriors terminating Sprewell's contract in 1997 after he choked Carlesimo, so there's that.

Hoping Lin gets more time to guard Curry then Kemba. I imagine there will be a lot of Charlotte Curry jerseys in the stand as well. I believe it's a Dell Curry t-shirt promotion as well, so kudos to the Marketing team for scheduling that with Curry's only game in Charlotte.

Also the debut of the black jerseys, which are awesome once you get over the fact that they have to wear sleeves.

I don't think the Warriors have lost a game while wearing their alternate sleeved "slate" jerseys, and I still hate them.

waiting for Curry to come out and remove his warmups to reveal a Hornets jersey and then he DDTs Klay Thompson and Dremond Green, then he gives Luke Walton the Stunner and gives him the middle finger Stone Cold Style, then he stands on the scorers table and drinks three beers at once, then pukes and proceeds to drop 40 on the Warriors in a cruel twist of fate, giving them their first loss of the season.

All that and no inclusion of Cam?

You hit me right in the feels

...and just as Curry is soaking it in with the home crowd going wild, Steve Kerr comes out of the crowd with a baseball bat. OMG STEVE KERR IS BACK. Kerr is wielding the bat, point his finger at Curry ....then the lights go out and a mummer falls over the crowd....the lights come back on, and my god, ITS CAM ITS CAM. Cam Newton is standing next to Curry and the crowd loses their mind! Cam and Steph look at each other and nod, then put their fingers around Kerr's neck for a double choke slam!!!  The two stars rise their arms in victory and the camera fades.

This is only acceptable if Cam goes on to lead the Panthers to a super bowl win. Otherwise I'm against it.

Unfortunately the return game is at the start of January. Had it been pushed back a couple weeks you could end the Charlotte storyline with "To Be Continued" and then have the same thing happen in Oakland with Cam arriving in the Bay Area to take Super Bowl 50 as he and Curry laugh maniacally at the Niners fans in attendance.

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

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Just because all draft picks are a gamble doesn't mean you don't have a better chance at hitting on a better player the higher you're drafting. It would literally be like someone saying, I'll give you 1 or 2 free spins on a slot machine, and you say you'll take the 1 because you're not likely to win anything anyways with 1 or 2, so why bother? The Cowboys desperately wanted T-Mac, but because they were 4 picks behind us, they weren't able to get him.  If you told Cowboys fans that had they lost 2 more games last year in a lost season, that it would get them the player they wanted so badly, would they in retrospect go back and lose those games to get their guy? 95% of them would take that trade off in a heartbeat, and the others who wouldn't are the fans who would rather enjoy an extra win or two in a poo season to then set themselves up to be better for the next decade. I also think the fans who argue against this thinking, get too caught up in the "well that means you're going to be rooting against us late in the season even if we still have a shot at the playoffs." Which isn't true, it's saying if you're telling me right now we'd make the playoffs but lose in the first round, that I'd rather end up 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss the playoffs because in our opinion, the benefits that come along with that outweigh the benefit of the players getting 1 game of playoff experience.

      In relation to tanking. I think you can count on one hand the number of people here who actually want us to lose football games. When accounting for it across the fanbase it amounts to maybe 2% of the entire Panthers fanbase. But you engage with some internet trolls and think haters are coming out of the woodwork and hey look at that it's all a conspiracy that leads to Bryce Young haters. Do you hear yourself sir? If it sounds ridiculous that's because it is. I mean at this point do you see Bryce haters in your dreams? As far as the culture of this franchise goes we seem to be doing better in that department via what we are building right now and with the people we have in place. But we also shouldn't just make assumptions just yet either. The rubber still needs to meet the road. And going back to previous seasons I think we can acknowledge although tanking obviously isn't a thing there were some times where we thought our culture was improving but really it wasn't. Yes I'm looking directly at some of those wins under Wilks. If the culture had truly changed we would not have lost to the Steelers who have been mediocre for years at home the way we did and they were starting Mitch Trubisky ffs. We did not change our culture for the better and we won games that ultimately meant nothing. It was just a brief mirage. We've done this for years now. The harsh truth of the matter is the Panthers have not had a winning season or been to the playoffs in going on 8 years but in those years they've been trying to convince themselves they aren't poo but in the process all they've done throughout most of that time period is squander better draft position and we were still the worst team in the league for our troubles. At the end of the day we should be able to just be adults and reconcile with that. And no that isn't being "pro tank" or any other boogeyman term it's simply recognizing reality.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      He's an asset in a game manager role. But as soon as you have to ask him to go out there and try to make plays and not just take what the defense is giving him... well, Darnolding happens.
