I would love opinions on the lottery.  I think it is complete garbage.  The league is watered down but the lesser teams need the ability to compete.  Wouldnt this make regular season games better?  So its there to keep teams from tanking?  Really (76ers).  Worst rule in sports.  Thoughts?  I will call Silver with results.  haha

My next change as commish is a larger playoff pool with best of 3 series for each match up.  Not the NCAA tourney (for now) haha but still move the stakes much higher for the elites of the league.  Sounds awesome to me.. and yes to hell with tradition.  And keep kids in college 2 yrs as well.

I think it is. A perfect example is when we got screwed out of getting Anthony Davis. We were the worst team in the league we should have picked one. It should be like every other draft in sports, if you have a bad record you pick in the top in order of how bad you are. I know the worst team has the best chance at getting one overall but it doesn't happen sometimes. Same for teams in the top 5. Sometimes the number four team doesn't get four and so on. How can bad teams get better this way if they get screwed out of a pick?

I personally think the lottery is hurting the NBA. I also think the season should be shorter with longer breaks between games to cover the same amount if time, I think 50 would be perfect and would keep star players from sitting out. Also, should make players sit out more than one game if hurt, so star players cant sit out just because playing a lesser team.

I have felt for a long time that there are way too many NBA reg season games.  Broken model, old model and boring.  Less games, more critical loses in the playoffs (yes even  single elimantion) would make this league the best sport in the world.  Why not?

Last but not least arangement of the divisions...geographical model.  Ala the NFL.  Teams will keep their guys and rivalries abound.  A new champ every year...or at least possible.  My dream.

And a cap obviously

      Build up the hope then they kick you in the nuts

      Yeah, if you tune in for any of the remainder of the season you will get what you're asking for. Nobody but yourself to blame. This is a sports franchise of losers, for losers.

      OFFICIAL Week 1: Panthers @ Jaguars Game Day Thread

      By Dragoon11 · Posted

      Here is my take, go ahead and roast me, I'm ok with it, I know where I am. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I will wait until week 4 or 5 before I entertain that option. This game I blame on the coaching staff. Their failure to give reps to the first team during the preseason was reflected in this game. Lets just call this what it is... our preseason warm up game. You could see that the whole team was flat in the first half. Every aspect of the game, the basic fundamentals. Mental errors, missed tackles, timing on routes, they were not ready for this game. Jacksonville is not a great team but you could clearly see their energy level surpassed ours. I do have to give credit to our defense. They did hang in there and kept competing through 4 quarters (minus the 71 yard run). The way our offense played it's a wonder Jacksonville didn't put 40 on us. Positives I saw, (I know, I know), but come on, we still have 16 games. TMAC IS that guy!! Chuba looked good, and overall, our O-line looked good. As bad as Bryce looked at times I do feel like we're a step or two away from connecting with our WR corps. There were plays to be made that were JUST off by a step or two (again, I know). We have talent at WR, we have talent on offense. To me, this game just looked like a team that was not mentally prepared for NFL week one, and less, "oh my god, we're the same old Panthers". Now I get it... a lot of this hinges on Bryce Young and his confidence. If he can erase this and focus on building continuity with these receivers I honestly think we're not going to suck as bad as we did today. XL... IDK, the jury with him is still out, but there is no doubt the kid has mega potential. Our defense, honestly, considering we have a bunch of new guys on that side, they held their own considering the offense could never change the momentum of the game. I am as disappointed as everyone else at another week one poor performance. But I also realize we are STILL rebuilding. Lets just take it week by week right now and see if we have ANY talent that rises to the surface. Because I really do not know what we have talent wise. And that is not just limited to the QB. So, we will see, but I'm not going to call it just yet... just my take. Now fire away! lol

      Officially time to end the Bryce experiment?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Well for one, what other realistic choice is there? Barring a season ending injury, Bryce is the guy for this year. Next year all options are open, but there aren't any other real world solutions for the 2025 season.
