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.

      I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that...

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
