No. I've pretty much watched only UNC in basketball for a decade or so now. If UNC isn't playing I'm pretty much not watching. 

This tourney would be perfect for you if you just wanted to find interesting/entertaining games without having to care about the outcome since UNC isn't in it. You could just enjoy the games.

I honestly just don't find basketball all that entertaining these days without emotional attachment. Sucks, because basketball was by far and away favorite sport growing up. The modern version of the game just isn't very good if I'm being honest.

Basketball isn't the same. Too many 3s or a guard driving to the basket hoping for a foul, not enough movement and cuts, or playing in the post. It really isn't the as good as it was. That said, I still find it more entertaining than the NFL for the most part.

It's just really bad. Jacking threes or driving and flailing. The traditional post game and midrange game is practically dead. Defense is hacking and grabbing counting on the refs not to be able to call it all and flopping if the offense makes any contact. Golden State ruined the game for the time being. You can't efficiently run that offense without some of the greatest shooters of all time sharing the court.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      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.
