Game 46: Charlotte Bobcats: (11-34) @ Houston Rockets (25-23)


Recommended Posts

We were disinterested in the game after MKG went down.

Hopefully he is okay.

This is true... after that injury the atmosphere in the stadium changed and we lost all the momentum.

My observations from watching the game at the stadium off the ball...

1) Harden was not that great... the way Houston played tonight they were very beatable and we should have won this game.

2) Guard defense on ball was horrible... too many times we were getting beat off the dribble... and easily

3) Front court rotations on defense was HORRID!!! They looked slow, slow to react, the front court defenders was just letting people cut inside all night for easy buckets...

4) We make the game too hard on ourselves forcing us to be a jump shooting team... there were sooooooo many selfish offensive plays... positions were players were wide open, and on the fast break were we would take a tough shot instead of passing to the open man... this was the WORST thing to witness because unselfish play would have created sooo many better positions.

4b) Going back to our front court,,, there is a lack of trust an communication between the frontcourt and backcourt... there were so multiple possessions where the a big should have slashed to the basket and would have had a good opportunity where the front court player with the ball could have made a pass to him... yet they hung around outside the box and a bad shot ended up being taken.

The rockets were right for the picking tonight, but we came up short.... Most importantly i hope MKG is okay. Talk about unclassy in the rockets red rowdies section they had various chants going on while MKG was down and the rest of the stadium was quiet worried about MKG. F-ing bastards... Disrespectful pieces of ish is what they were.

    • I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that... 
    • 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.
