As I just posted in the gameday thread, it's time to trade Jax and find a player who can fill that athletic low-post void. Kwame has played great, but he is limited and Nazr is old. More of a need now with the Tyrus injury, because these next two months are critical for a playoff run.

Who can we get?

We've tried getting bigs, they pretty much all suck. We could try Josh McRoberts, at least he doesn't miss dunks and has some weight to him.

I think instead the team should try to get a scorer off the bench. Flip Murray was great at that last year. We should move livingston for this player and this player should be a PG or combo guard because the offense falls apart when DJ leaves the court.

Other than that the main concern for this team is just playing in control. Whether it's Wallace attempting a bad shot or charging into a player, Diaw throwing blind passes, or Jack being Jack, this team has to take better care of the ball.

Also players have to look for their shot. Diaw kills our offensive pace sometimes with his pass out of shots.

Anyway, I hope Thomas gets well soon.

Thomas is overrated and plays out of control too much. The bigger concern here is that Silas' coaching staff does not seem to like Derrick Brown and play Najera instead which will hurt us since the drop off between Thomas and Najera is quite much.

I don't have a fuging clue why Najera is even on an NBA roster, but Derrick Brown really isn't a post player like Najera. So I don't necessarily see minutes having to be shared between the two, though I can certainly envision situations in which Wallace slides over to the 4 and Brown picks up slack at the 3, or vice versa.

Tyrus averaged 21 mpg. I think those minutes should be picked up as such:

Diaw +3

Dominic +11

Nazr +7

Yeah, that's what Larry Brown would do sometimes. Derrick Brown is a tall player but not the biggest guy. He can handle the ball surprisingly well for someone his size and can knock down the three as well. I like what he brings especially with his athleticism. Every time he comes in the game our fast break is much better.

I think Derrick would most definitely look good with more minutes. He just has to pick up an NBA leveled offense. It's like whenever he's in the game he's a deer in the headlights. (Sans his defense / fastbreak)

I blame Larry for D.Brown's stunted growth.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
