Trap games happen to teams with winning records. I know we're feeling good... but that's not exactly us right now. 

trap games are for teams that no one expects to lose. 

no one would be shocked if we managed to screw this one up. it would be an under .500 team acting like an under .500 team.

I think this is going to be a helluva game. Both teams are fighting for their coach and a lot of pride. In our case, we're also fighting for a very distinct possibility of a miracle on the season. 

The two teams are remarkably similar in their weaknesses and strengths. They both want to be better teams than they are. And they'll field a roughly 50/50 assortment in the crowd on Sunday.

This could be a classic.

If we lose Wilks is good as gone. No top 5 pick and no winning record. I highly doubt we are overlooking the Steelers who we have only beat once. 

tepper isn't going to be happy with a loss against his former team.

the truth is we haven't won a game against them since '96. we're 1-6 against them all time. i think we're due one.

If it were any year it's this one and it would go along way with Tepper like you said. It's more of a circle your calendar game than a overlooked one.

It's a good glimpse of how well Wilks is. Tomlin is a SB winning coach just like Carroll. If he can KO both that's a good thing.

agreed. if wilks can pull this off and we blow them out, it would goa  long way in tepper's assessment of wilks. if we get embarrassed, wilks will for sure be looking for another job when the season is over.

it's not THE deciding factor in whether Wilkes gets the full time job, but it's definitely one that will carry more weight than others.

Last week felt like a trap game for Seattle. You could tell by the Vegas line that the "far superior" team wasn't getting as much love, even at home. 

This week it's pretty even, so I don't consider it a trap game. Panthers definitely have more momentum at this point in the season which would make you think they are the better team, but like others mentioned it's just a matchup of mediocre teams.

    • The team wore down and shots stopped falling.  Ball, Miller and Kon have to play well.  At least 2 of the 3.  2/16…0/6. That ain’t gonna cut it.     If Bridges and White are the only ones hitting from 3, it’s not gonna go well.  The 3’s make Moose and Kalk work.  No 3’s it gets too crowded for them with all the bodies crashing the boards.    (Kalk needs to add strength, something awful tho.)
    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
