'Cats started slow and have never recovered.

The Raptors have been hitting everything which hasn't helped....lots of turnovers for Cha so far.

Here's to hoping the 'Cats can work on the lead and get it under ten before half.

44-25 with 5 min remaining in second quarter...Toronto has hit 6 threes already.

53-39 Raptors at the Half.

Bobcats are getting out shot (48 percent to 39), out rebounded (by 6), and out hustled...so its remarkable the 'Cats are only down 14 points.

Henderson, Taylor, and Bismack have played sparingly this game...which is surprising.

Here's to a better second half and a 'Cats road win.

I think they are trading Biz and Hendo, not sure for what or with who. Also trying to loose, it's a completely different team right now then earlier in the season.

not questioning, merely wondering why you think that other than their lack of playing time this evening? I know Henderson's min have been inconsistent...just curious really

I don't understand how we are not better defensively.

Kemba, Taykor, MKG, Bismack, and Thomas are all above average defenders or at least are billed to be.

And Dunlap is supposed to be a great defensive mind. It just doesn't make any sense.

      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.

      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.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
