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.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
