I sat next to the Orlando bench last night. Those guys genuinely have fun out there. They had an almost college enthusiasm. Even during warmups when they had a globe trotter like mini dunk/layup contest that the crowd loved. During breaks they would actually watch and cheer for the fans doing the contests on the court. After each score Jason Williams would do a very subtle booty dance that had his team laughing. They played loose on the court because they were loose. They had the most fun, and it was the difference in OT.

Charlotte can learn something there.

Yeah but what if Charlotte won by 30 last night? The same argument could be made that Orlando needed to be more focused. Donovan McNabb was real loose when he was playing guitar hero coming out of the tunnel in Dallas.....that turned out well.

I agree with what RadioKiller in that it is easy to be loose when you have so much talent and are a top team in the East. Bobcats are fighting to become relevant and make the playoffs for the first time. Plus, having a loose team in not really Larry Brown's style.

I think team chemistry is more important in the NBA than any other sport. When the Hornets made their run a few years back the team was like a family and had fun every night no matter the outcome. A year later it looked like they wanted to murder Byron Scott.

Who are these "Hornets" you speak of? LOL

Yep, more swagger. Plus, if they are trying to win over the fan base they need to realize what they do is entertainment. Make it fun for the fans every second you are on the court. Even during warm ups.

True, but the best kind of entertainment is winning. If this team could become a consistent playoff contender then I believe folks would start coming out.

IMO, they need to break the bank and bring in one more Stephen Jackson caliber guy to push this team over the top. Chris Bosh or Amare Stoudemire anyone?

Would we be able to afford them?

I definitely wouldn't try to trade for any expirings this year that could hurt our current morale/chemistry.

      5 yards a carry is great IMO opinion because we are talking an average of 2nd and 5, which means the defense can't sit solely on the pass or run. I understand 5 is an average and not all carries are going to be that, but he definitely had better runs than Chuba. When we have Chuba running the ball for 1 or 2 yards and getting stuck in 2nd and 8 or 3rd and 6, we have to pass - which as we saw was the nail in the coffin for us with Dalton back there. The only 2 drives in the game where we had a legit chance of scoring (before garbage time) was the drive we scored a FG on and the drive Andy took the inexcusable sack on to cost us points. No coincidence that the RB on the field those drives was Rico (who pretty much picked up 5+ yards every carry outside of that goofy direct snap play). It really needs to be a 2-to-1 ratio of snaps in favor of Rico going forward (unless Chuba gets better). I don't care if we are paying Chuba more. Other teams have had no problem benching the guy being paid more if the other player is doing better - just look at the Falcons and them starting Penix over Cousins like 6 games into his rookie season.

      Depends on perspective. I do think the talent is great. Whether T-Mac reaches his potential is another story, especially within these current circumstances. Some of the metrics are really good already (like average yards per catch). Even PFF already had him as the 20th or so best WR in the league.
