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.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By strato · Posted

      That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      By woahfraze · Posted

      This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce.

      Dan's first draft

      No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
