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.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.

      The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.

      I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
