Key Points

1. We are changing to an up-temp offense.

2. Bobcats are practicing with a 14 second shot clock in stead of a 24 second shot clock.

"I want to bring some energy to this ball club," Silas said after being introduced as the fourth head coach in franchise history. "I want us to get up and down and let it all hang out. If they don't want to get up and down, they can come sit down by me."

I like what Silas is doing.

Wooot.....

Excited to see how this works at least...

Yay for change.

On a side note, if they don't trade DJ... I believe he will flourish in this type of offense...but they need to get rid of Jackson imo.

Yea, I agree this change could help DJ and hopefully his fantasy stats for my fantasy team.

How bad would it suck if they trade him to an uptemp team and he goes off and then we switch to an up tempo team.

LOL, Don't you love our local Bobcats coverage.

Rick: I'm on vacation this week, so my sex slave Ron Green Jr. will be blogging between lotion applications live from my dungeon.

BITCH!!! YOU'RE ON VACATION EVERYWEEK!!!!!

I'm tired of this poo man... We have the worst local coverage out of ALL the franchises in the NBA. There was no mention made of any Jackson trade all week, then it's briefly mentioned that he was on the verge of being traded in the article on LB's firing... I'm tired of having to google and look through nat'l media excerpts for news on my local team.

Jackoffs...

That's because the Charlotte Observer is a "Cut & Paste" paper. If it's not on the AP or UPI wire, it won't make it into the Observer. You ahve to read the Rock HIll Herald or Gaston Gazette if you want local team coverage. They have actual reporters.

Silas met individually with each of the players, asked them to assess their own strengths and weaknesses, and offered a message of encouragement. He interrupted their planned holiday break by adding an early Christmas Eve practice, knowing he can’t make dramatic changes in the short time before their next game.

eh... interrupting Christmas break? a bit much but i guess they do need all the practice they can get with a new coach.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
