Slowly Progressing on the Road

Well damn, it sure has taken a while but I have to say I am growing more comfortable when we play on the road. I know at 7-19 is nothing, let me reiterate...nothing to think well of, but we have shown progress in maintaining momentum away from Charlotte.

I'm just saying, they're slowly getting better. Maybe by the end of the year we will be good enough to win a road playoff game. :) Cheers to optimism.

Like you said, 7-19 is nothing to get excited about, and acknowleding that any road win is a good win, the four teams you've beaten recently on the road are Phoenix, Golden State, Sacramento, and Minnesota. Phoenix is the only playoff-caliber team (currently 6th in the West), and the other three are the three worst teams in the West. Playing the Lakers tough on the road and limiting Kobe was a more encoruaging outing than any of these four wins in my opinion. Cleveland and Miami are the only road wins against the East. Good wins against good teams. You've still got road games at Atlanta, Orlando, Boston, Miami, and Chicago. I'd want to see at least two wins out of those five road games. Then I might start to think that the Bobcats have a shot at getting out of the first round.

i think we'll be dangerous in the playoffs...the only matchup i really fear is cleveland..aka lets at least stay out of 8th.

Really? I think we match up well against Cleveland. I would hate to face the Magic with Howard.

Cleveland, I don't think will make it past the Conference Finals. They are going to need someone else to step up on a consistent basis besides LeBron. To be honest either way I think we're done in the 1st round but I think it would be a close series with the Cavs compared to a team like the Magic.

Playing the Lakers tough on the road and limiting Kobe was a more encoruaging outing than any of these four wins in my opinion.

Yes, couldn't agree with you more. It was even without Wallace, right? It was a shame we couldn't pull it out though. But like you said that was more convincing than say last night where we barley pulled one out in Minny, a game we just couldn't put away.

But then the Bobcats lose to Star-less Portland and New Orleans.

Larry couldn't have said it better himself, "loses like these tell you what kind of team you have, and that's a team that's not quite up to the task yet"

Were getting good, but not quite there yet.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
