Ouch, this is a huge loss. Gonna be a long year for the Bobcats.

The defense this year isn't good enough and I'm not sure why. The team is leaving wide open shooters on the perimeter and there isn't as much hustle. Gerald Wallace has probably missed 4-5 layups and dunks the past couple games. He's been in a slump.

DJ and Thomas are starting to become better players but we're not winning games. Confuses me.

This team is hard to watch.

I think at this point coaching is losing us the game. Our defense game-plan is bad, as in, we're getting crushed by teams shooting the 3 over and over, game after game. We just don't have enough shooters on our team to counter that.

We lack a go-to scorer. The Knicks have Amare at the end to finish plays, we have, nobody.

When just ONE of our guys is off (Wallace) we barely put up enough points. We need a legit scorer, and until we get one, we're going to keep winning a TON of games by less than 5 points.

Props to Thomas, who had an amazing game, and showed what he can do with enough minutes. Props to DJ for continuing his assist-to-turnover goodness. Jax was good enough tonight for the most part, other than a really bad 3 attempt late in the game when he tried to shoot over someone. He's open SO much but his shot takes like 10 seconds to develop so he can never let fire.

I'm kind of ready for a new coach, I think Brown is amazing at practices and developing players, but when it comes game type, I question the things he does.

We kept our 2nd team out there WAY too long, they were getting crushed. We should not have Caroll on the team, he's horrible, if he isn't even making shots it's pointless to have him on the court.

Add another 15+ scorer to this team and our record is a lot different than it is right now.

I don't think we'll make playoffs this year, but we'll come close.

Caroll is trash and is way overpaid. He's a shooter that doesn't make his shots and someone we don't even use correctly. The fans get all excited cause they see a white guy go onto the floor.

We have HORRIBLE perimeter defense and it's killing us. Teams easily knock 10+ 3pt's on us nightly. We just can't compete with that.

Sorry for jumping in late, just finished watching on DVR. I had to double-check, I was sure I was watching a different game, since so many Bobcats games follow this same pattern - start slow, dig a hole, frantically play catch-up, get the crowd in a lather, run out of gas in the last minute, lose game.

To see guys like DJ and Tyrus lighting it up, but then hot and cold Jack is frustrating, plus Crash is way off his game. I used to say that no way is Gerald "touchable" in a trade scenario, but if it could get us a wing who is a clutch scorer, then I don't think I would have a problem with that. I don't have anyone in mind, but this team lacks an offensive spark-plug. You have to give in order to get.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      By Navy_football · Posted

      This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday. Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible.  Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on.

      None of us think we're contenders this season but no reason we're doomed to 5 or 6 wins either. Dan has to have another 2025- like draft class and at least 2 key free agent signings. We're not Seattle but they don't win without 5 starters from their last 2 draft classes and Darnold and Lawrence in free agency.  Alas,  we'll have to wait one more season for a QB upgrade.

      I've got nothing else to say really than: Ayup. Here we are again. Again.  All we can really hope for is progress. If we improve as much again, it'll be good. If we don't, it'll be foretold.
