Second favorite team


TheOracle

Recommended Posts

Don't really have a second favorite team but have a lot of players that I like to watch other than Bobcats.

Like watching Kevin Durant, LeMarcus Aldridge, Amar'e Stoudamire, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant...

The Portland Trail blazers: fun team..."Bobcats-West" (Felton, Wallace)

They are normally a really slow team to watch. But now that they've added Wallace and Felton it seems like they want to run more.

I dont really have a 2nd favorite team, but there are certainly some teams I like to watch/ root for when they dont play the Bobcats. In no particular order:

Blazers, Nuggets, Suns, Clippers, Warriors, OKC, Bulls, Nets, Pacers

Teams I dislike (in order):

Lakers, Celtics, Magic, Spurs, Jazz, Pistons, Heat

There isn't another team besides the 'Cats..though I really dislike Boston, LA, and Miami the most.

I do like seeing certain players do well..Steph Curry, former Duke players..former Carolina players (out of respect for the program)..pretty much anyone who is from or played in the Carolinas.

I dislike Glenn Big Baby Davis the most probably..followed by David West, LeBrick, Beasley, Bosh, and Pierce.

I do wish Seattle would get a team again. The NBA doesn't seem right without the SuperSonics.

Strange you dislike Big Baby considering he is a LSU Tiger. I enjoy him because he is hilarious.

Eh...I think that is why I dislike him so much...he isn't very good yet the average LSU fan thinks he is just as good in the NBA as he was in college. That blind homerism and his attitude annoy me.

I am a huge fan of Tyrus Thomas, obviously Shaq, Stromile Swift, Anthony Randolph, Marcus Thornton, Garrett Temple, etc...but I have never been on the Big Baby train.

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
