That’s an odd stat considering most of our games after like week 6 weren’t particularly close or competitive. 

Carolina frequently had a strong first driven that resulted in some points. It was everything after that first drive that was Rhule-esque lack of strategy and inability to stay competitive.

Yeah but there were instances like the Vikings game where Sam actually had that great drive to tie the game only for the defense to just let them march right down the field in OT.

 

There was more than one game we could have won where they let the other team just march down the field.

Right, but that's 1 of 10. It takes a lot of failure to lead this category.

Ehhh, although it had its holes, that defense was good, but the reason they lost all of those games after having a lead was because the offense was so abysmal that they got no support or points in 2nd halves.  It's like having a Cy Young Winner throwing a perfect game but batters that can't hit.  The defense did what they could and just wore down the longer it went on.

At this point, we're just going to have to see what's what during the season. There's really no more need to debate it. No one is going to convince me that it's a bad thing that we were the #2 defense in yards allowed. Will that make us winners? Hell no. But it's better than being #31 in yards allowed. It means that there is hope, if some things can be cleared up. Certainly part of the equation is limiting offensive turnovers. We must do that to keep leads and win, and it can't be overstated.

      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).
