I wasn't expecting much, though Portland only had 15 points with 6 min to go in the quarter..which led me to believe they wouldn't pull out as far as other teams. I was wrong, they went on a huge run.

Mullens is in foul trouble so no pressure on the post defense for Portland. Portland can't seem to guard Henderson though without fouling..but he is the only one they have to worry about.

35-18 after one....frick.

And let me say this too - it is an embarrassment to see the freaking team president's son out there playing like crap. It's like an AAU team.

Yeah Higgins is complete an utter garbage. At least Diop is big, long, and provides an occasional rebound. Carroll at least can make team run out to him on the 3 pt line..Higgins doesn't do anything well. Liability on defense, ball handling is poor, shooting is terrible, and he doesn't have a clue how to use an on-ball screen.

:banghead:

I mean..I care or else I wouldn't be up watching or in this thread. I like to think that once augustin and Maggatte come back this team won't be as god awful.

The young guys are getting valuable playing time (kemba, biz, mullens).

A starting rotation eventually this season of Augustin, Henderson, MAggatte Tyrus, Diop with a bench of Williams, Brown, Kemba, White and Mullens seems to be better than what they cats are now. I guess thats why I continue to watch..toss in a general love for basketball helps.

    • I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?
    • You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.
    • For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
