Come on man, if youre going to trash the Bobcats at least follow the team a little bit. Rich Cho is definitely calling the shots, he is the one who wanted Biyombo so bad that he took him at 7 over Knight. It was widely reported around draft time, here is an article if youre interested

Ummm, I didn't say whether Cho wanted Biyombo or not. It was MJ that put the blinders on for Kemba so much so that they passed on a much better player in Brandon Knight at the 7th pick, when Biyombo would have likely been available at the 9th pick. Of course Cho was going to come out after the draft and say that they didn't think Biyombo was going to be there at the 9th pick after being ridiculed for passing on Knight.

"He was definitely who we targeted,” Cho said of Biyombo. “All the intel we acquired we really felt that Detroit was going to take him at eight so we had to get ahead of them at seven.”

Seriously? The entire article was about how Cho wanted Biyombo since his Portland days, and traded for the 7th pick just so he could get him. You are just trying to hate on Jordan now.

This is Biyombo's quote about Cho after the draft

"When I first met him, he was like, 'Wow, I'm in Portland wanting to move up now!' And then he has No. 9 (in Charlotte), so he says, 'We'll pick you up.' "And then, after all my workouts, it's 'Nah-nah-nah-nah. You are not getting to nine!' So after that, they move up again."

Not hating on Jordan. Just LOL at all those people that think Cho is now running the show. Jordan never defers to others. He might get some input from Cho, but it's clear that Jordan still has his hands in everything.

      Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales.

      If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod.

      Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
