Plumlee was unplayable vs Bam.. JB took him out after getting exposed.. just a bad bad matchup

PJ played some good D as the backup but I think they restricted him on minutes cus we had Bridges playing center at the end..

We need to find a quality Big to help play D and rebound.. there is an available vet FA Center that does those 2 things but I don't want to mention his name.. it rhymes with Wiz.. 😶

JB has to start playing Richards and/or Kai more.  Bam still has strength over them, but they have athleticism to still be there to contest.  PJ is too small and Plumlee is too unathletic.  We have never, ever, ever been able to figure out the big conundrum since we got a franchise back.  It has singlehandedly been the longest and biggest ongoing problem for us, and Chandler was the closest we ever came to solving it, which is sad.

Also, Melo did not look good at all on this road trip.  I suspect his confidence took a little bit of a hit too after the shooting woes.  He started deferring and wasn't even trying to handle the ball or initiate the offense after that last couple of misses.  Looked like the complete opposite of his game against Indy.

      injury updates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      not sure if any of this is news, but a good summary of our situation heading into training camp.  It's sure gonna be good getting Derrick back. After missing virtually all of the 2024 season, Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is aiming for a full return to the field during training camp later this summer, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Brown tore his meniscus in Week 1 and underwent season-ending surgery that has kept him limited through spring practices, though he did participate in “walk-throughs and light side work” during mandatory minicamp, according to Person. Brown originally stated a desire to be ready for the 2025 regular season, but his timeline appears to have moved up. Brown’s injury was particularly disappointing after a career-best 2023 season. He led all defensive linemen with 103 total tackles and was named to his first Pro Bowl, earning him a four-year, $96MM extension from the Panthers in April 2024. While he has never been a prolific pass rusher, Brown’s size and power has consistently commanded double-teams and created opportunities for his teammates. His impact was evident last season, as Carolina’s run defense ranked dead-last in his absence. The Panthers spent significant resources this offseason on defensive line depth, which should allow them to manage Brown’s usage more carefully coming off a major injury. He played a whopping 940 defensive snaps in 2023 (89% of the team’s total) and was on the field for almost every play before his injury last year. With new teammates Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, and Cam Jackson ready to share the load, Derrick Brown can take a lower snap share to stay fresh and healthy for the entire season. Here are a few updates on other Panthers returning from injuries:     https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/panthers-injury-updates-brown-tremble-barno-wallace
