We're the worst first half team I've ever seen. The problem is that it's really hard to beat decent teams when you wait until halftime to start playing. Hubert has to figure this out. It's been this way all season long.

They're just copying the Hornets. They have the same issue.

Bacot was the only Heel that showed up in the 1st half. We'll likely make a game of it in the 2nd half but I think we probably dug too deep of a hole to crawl out of.

It's our guards. Our guard play in the 1st half is atrocious and has been all year long. R.J. Davis in particular. It won't surprise me if he drops 20 in the 2nd half and UK fans are like, "Wait... who the fug is THIS guy???"

So, Hubert needs to recruit guards? That should be fairly easy since the NBA is a guards' league.

Nah, he just needs to figure out how to get these guys to come out of the locker room ready to go. The guards will look night and day different this half and we have to figure out how to get them to play in the 1st half.

An Achilles heel of this team is that they lack a true natural PG. Love and Davis both are best suited off the ball. But that's not going to get fixed this season.

This is an issue with most guys playing PG these days. Nobody wants to run the offense and pass. They would rather take the shot themselves.

You can be a scoring PG, but you gotta have vision and be able to create for others too. We don't have anyone on this roster who can. Honestly, most of our really good PGs have been good scorers in their own right. You gotta go back to freshman Kendall Marshall to find a really good UNC PG who wasn't a good scorer himself.

It's the Tennessee game all over again. Just pitiful effort.

We always suck in the 1st half but usually get our act together in the 2nd half.

It's just hard for this team to get right during a game because we have no creators. We have no ability to create easy shots. We run a motion offense with no motion. Defense is optional.

Roy blamed himself for not being able to motivate these kids but I hope he's understanding now that he wasn't the problem. This is just a flawed roster and it's flawed primarily vat the PG spot.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
