Smitty's commentary


Mr. Scot

His insight and honesty was great. His delivery needs some work, he's speaking and responding at about 3/4 of the speed he needs to be at. There were long, drawn out pauses and while his chill is okay in a slow moving pre-season game, he'd be hard pressed to keep tempo.

Getting the names wrong, not a problem in the preseason, it's just going to happen.

It was a bit awkward at times, but you gotta remember he's got producers and stat guys chirping in his ear while he's trying to talk. But, he does need to let go of the tired and mundane analogies, metaphores and cliches- he did stumble thru several of those.

But I love his honesty and there's nothing more refreshing than to have someone who knows these guys and came from this organization who'll tell it like it is. 

The only disagreement I have- Grier is a bust. Made a couple good throws yesterday, but it was a preseason game and it doesn't make up for the nothing he's done for a couple years now.

South Carolina fans weren’t happy with him lol. He ripped Jake Bentley to shreds when talking about Shi Smith. He wasn’t wrong about anything he said, but was kind of an odd rant to go on considering Jake Bentley isn’t even playing football anymore. Gamecock message boards were furious about it. I’m a longtime Bentley hater so I was fine with it lol 

 

Overall, I thought he was fine for a preseason game. He’s not very polished, but I loved his honesty.

In short I loved it. Surprised he didn't cuss out loud a few times! He is honest to a FAULT. I enjoyed his insights. Screw it, it's hard to be unbiased when talking about one of the greatest the Panther's players of all time. Also, liked that the other guy didn't talk about the coach's ample chest. I hope Steve doesn't get himself in trouble saying stuff on TV.

    • Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement. Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr" 
    • Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team. 
    • We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).
