Fug you all.. Hurney, DG and Shula..

Hornets now have made it through the 2 rough months and are playing decent ball now going into the easier part of their schedule.. everyone is healthy and I hope it stays that way.. Monk and Bacon still aren't getting solid PT but whatevs.. I'm not thinking playoffs right now - just need to collect some wins against scrubs and get back to .500.. every game in January is more than winable.. we just came off a Westcoast trip that was excellent, IMO.. to gather a W against the Warriors - @ Oracle!?! that might be the catalyst to jump start our season..

Dwight is playing great and so are Lamb and Kemba.. Marvin is still shooting over .400 for 3pt range.. Frank has been filling it up but very inconsistent and ineffiecient at times..

MKG has been a pleasant surprise in his shot making:

Batum needs to get back in the groove.. he's shooting under .300 from 3pt range.. just terrible.. 
but his numbers are improving since he has been back (small sample size, i know):

I don't know what the season holds for us - maybe a swap of deck chairs at the trade deadline could help but probably not.. I never forsee us getting a big name at the deadline - so Real help is probably not coming.. I have put the Panthers in the rear view and in the full swing of Bball now.. hopefully a better 2nd half of the year..

Hornets have a coaching issue just like the Panthers.

There is no reason this team isn't top 4 in the East with the talent, it's all coaching.

i'm not fully on board with a coaching change - Clifford & Co. is so much better than the past 4 coaches we have had here (Dunlap, Silas, Brown, Vincent).. - but i'm listening to the rumblings you speak of..

They're not a top 4 team....not as long as MKG and and Batum are on the team....or at least asked to start.

MKG has been fine this year actually.    He's about what we expect.    I definitely haven't been a MKG super fan but he's fine, he is NOT the issue.

Batum, yes.

But Clifford just not playing young guys is stupid.    His rotations never make sense either.    There's no reason this team shouldn't be above .500.

The man can't shoot.  In no way does he extend a defense.  He has his good moments and he's fine coming off the bench as a role player in defensive possessions.. To think though, that he's the answer as a full time starter I just don't see it.  MKG has been in the league awhile now, there isn't much ceiling left.

I'm not saying that he doesn't have strengths.  He's a good defender.  A good rebounder, and at times he drives to the basket well.  Ultimately...you just have to be able to shoot.  If you can't hit the 3 as a SF in the NBA...you've got no business starting.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
