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.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
