Who else is really excited? I didn't want to buy into it yet, but after taking them down it's hard not to be excited. I know they didn't have Noah, but still.

I know Felton is having an all-star year in NY, but DJ is playing excellent basketball. Dropping 22 points and 12 assists with only ONE turnover tonight, is evidence. DJ is looking like a #1 pick and he had to play under LB for the beginning of the season, imagine all season under Silas. I do not regret the Felton decision at all right.

I hate Jax, but he's such a tease and comes up with nice shots sometimes. I'd still like to deal him honestly.

Wallace is back and looked energized.

Tyrus is a monster, seriously. I don't regret trading for him at all. That may end up being our best trade yet.

Diaw is surprising me, mainly his defense. I am the biggest Diaw hater but I can't deny he's been playing light years better than he did last year. I'd be kind of sad at this point to lose him via trade, and that's huge considering my past hate.

Kwame even playing well right now. Hendo showing flashes. We have things to look forward to Bobcats fans.

And how about our owner, on the court, and fired up. Shaking everyone's hands at the end of the game. Not only is that encouraging for the fans/players because he's the owner, but he's also Michael Jordan so it means a lot to those guys.

The fans at the stadium sounded good tonight too.

To be fair, Everybody wanted to blow this team up because of Larry. Jordan's recent moves has made the fanbase eat their share of crow.

Edit: Even Jordan himself quickly changed his tune on DJ when he saw how different (in a good way) he played under Silas than Larry; resulting in MJ quickly taking DJ off the trading block.

Yeah where are all the people who wanted to blow it all up only about a month ago.

I mean in a way that was understandable. We weren't playing well regardless of LB's stubbornness. Everyone was lethargic. Now we have a coach that let's our players play to their strengths. It really has rejuvenated our team.

Jax is the only one I'd love to deal right now, but I think he's staying with us the rest of this year, we'll see.

Tough game against Boston Friday, I'm not expecting a win, but I hope we make them earn it.

Jackson will be Jackson. You have to take the good with the bad. If we traded him, I highly doubt we'd make the playoffs.

I say keep what we have. I think thats what the brass' intentions were when we got the new coaching staff. We had to see what Silas could do with our team to see what the problem was. We found that it was LB.

I can't believe people are for trading Diaw and Jax but never bring up Gerald. He has been disappointing to me this year. People have figured out his game and he can't hit a FT. But with that said I say keep him, and see what Silas can do. I'm not sure there are too many trades that drastically improve our chances of making/advancing in the playoffs.

      Pass Rush

      I'd rather not have Burns and draft good edge rushers. He wasn't worth the contract he got for a dude that could only rush the passer and frankly did a terrible job of it for us because whenever he did beat his blocker, he would whiff on the QB. Congrats to him for actually being able to wrap up the QB this year - it's the first time he has consistently been able to do it. The amount of teams that ran right at him while he was with us shows that teams realized he was an undersized edge and could get pushed backwards several yards on run plays. Having Dexter Lawrence next to you helps mask that problem

      I mean, some of y'all keep on saying that, but the fact is is that he is the only Giant feasting. Burns is just better than many of us thought, myself included. Sometimes it just takes guys time to get to the top of their game, that's why I'm going to give our rookies a lot of grace. It might be a couple of years before they hit their stride (though it didn't take Burns that long). But I have been disappointed. Moreover, I suspect that they all might benefit by migrating to  a 4-3 base.  But Burns is what he is. It was ultimately bad timing IMO. After Scott Fitterer failed to take the two firsts, things were destined to go downhill. I think we should've kept Clowney for another year or so more than Burns, but it's all been fûcked up anyway, so nobody was probably going to make that much of a difference.
