Did we just lose to the 76ers without Embiid?

Injuries have fuged us. Frank isn't a Center and Marvin has been terrible all season. It's crazy how after drafting PFs for what seems like 5 years we have only one (if you don't include Frank) on the roster. 

Please somehow swing for Ibaka and or Lou Williams at the deadline.

Nah we are good. We need to put our faith in this franchise. It is not like we have wasted a decade of lottery picks or something. Just relax. Cho (who has no basketball knowledge but a great smile) has got us covered. Just trust in the front office that hasn't built a team that can get out of the 1st round of the playoffs and gives away cool bobbleheads at games. Just look at the flowers.......keep looking and do not turn around.

We're not tanking. We're just a bottom-four team. No team with Brian Roberts as the backup PG is going to lose less than 50 games. No team with Frank as its starting center is going to lose less than 50 games. 

We have:

an All-Star PG (Kemba)
a third-option swingman playing as the second option (Batum)
an oft-injured C who is a decent starter when healthy (Zeller)
a three-point gunner who plays too many minutes because others can't shoot (Belinelli)
a defensive specialist who is decent on defense and awful on shots outside three feet (MKG)
and a bunch of garbage

We'll probably pick 8th-10th in the draft. People on here need to learn the difference between sucking and tanking. We're sucking. Not tanking.

Yup. Sadly that is true. This team I rebuild mode.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
