Game 24: Bobcats @ Pacers


IRONMAN

Recommended Posts

Observations from the first half.

Our Defense as of late has been playing terrible regarding to perimeter defense, our Wings have got to keep their player in front of them which alludes to my next point.

-Our Help defense is inept, I have seen several no-names blow past by Boris*surprised?*, Jackson, and Chandler*Again surprised?

Our Offense is there the shots though are not, Larry Brown has to realize that Flip is detrimental to the teams chemistry, I have seen many possessions where they could have set-up a good shot..especially in the fast break, but instead he pulls up, shoots, then the Pacers get a long rebound which leads to fast break threes. Which Ironicallyh enough is the sole reason the Pacer's have built a lead in the first place.

Overall we can pull away with this but LB has to get some balls and bench Flip, if he can make D.J his whipping boy he can easily do the same to flip.

Diaw has got to go we need to include him and Augustin in a deal to New York to get Jordan Hill and Chris Duhon.

Cosign.

I have never been impressed by the Boris Diaw Kool-Aid, he's just to damn lackadaisical, and just uninvolved with the game and the quicker we can trade him + DJ/Flip for an up-comer PF Randolph, Hill, eyes are on you. the better we can become.

    • Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.   
    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
