Truth. Even with the Hornets every 4th or 5th game poo game….they are still trending upward. Get us a legit big man, and we are in there consistently. Speaking of which…do the Hornets have Plumlee past this season? Not sure. If Mark Williams is there in the second round, do we take him? Great size and will battle on the boards and has a nice shot. Pair him with Trez and Kai, and I would think we would have a nice front court. Just not sure where he is projected. Tired of watching Plumlee get blocked and acting too scared to bring it back up to the basket. 

Sportrac says the Hornets have Plumlee for another season.

Chet holmgren can get the fug on outta here. Laugh out loud to anyone drafting him (and yes I know he's a lottery pick for some reason)

Holmgren will be fine… he’s a healthier Porzingis and an elite shot blocker. He probably won’t be a cornerstone piece of a roster but he could easily put up Porzingis numbers.

I don't see it at all. 7'1 scrawny, slow. Can't see him scoring or defending in the NBA at all, let alone being a top 5 pick

LOL. He's going to be good. This is just not a good take. 

The NBA is a shell of what it once was. He's going to be defending 6'9 and 6'7 Centers. I think he'll be just fine.

I don’t think he’s particularly slow. I think he’s a typical stretch four. It’s hard to justify taking a stretch four early because for every KD there are hundreds of average players like P.J. Washington.

I can see why some might be hesitant to take Holmgren this year because this could be a very good draft: Smith, Banchero, Ivey, Davis, Agbaji, Murray and going down even further you have guys like Williams, Hardy, Baldwin, Wesley, Keels, Houston, Chandler… strong draft imo.

Everyone can have their own opinion.  My is he will never average more than 4 pts a game in the NBA. But to be fair I didn't think stephs game would translate to the NBA.  I still think I was right about that though.  His talent just happened to transcend and change the whole damn league.

4 points per game? In an NBA where defense is optional and half the Centers are 6'9 or shorter? Wow.

What's everyones prediction for tomorrow? I think we go into Atlanta and get a win and then lose the next series.  John Collins is out and Heyward, i'll be honest the team doesnt even need him anymore. 

I think we beat Atlanta and then we will see who we play.  I don't like playing kyrie and Durant at all but I think they're a better match-up

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
