The Bobcats are not that bad

I thought we were in for a 30 Win season, I was wrong. I know it's still just preseason but it looks like we are X10 times better than last season talent wise. Everything seems to be clicking for the Cats right now. We are crushing teams WITHOUT Al Jefferson in the lineup. 

 

I know I could be wrong but everyone on this team looks like they have matured and made it to the next level.

It's only pre season so I wouldn't read too much into it, but we definitely do have the potential -- it's all about whether the young guys (Kemba, MKG, Biz, Hendo, Taylor) have made significant improvements and whether Zeller is the real deal or not. I am definitely excited to watch this team mature under Coach Clifford!

It sucks to admit it, but while we all want improvement, I will speak for myself and say that improvement that equals post-season is great, while meaningless improvement that generates more wins but keeps them out of the playoffs is not that exciting.  With the NBA, that's no-man's land - you need to either be able to hit home runs early in the lottery, or generate excitement for potential free agents by making a run to the playoffs.

What we're seeing is development of our core group of players.   The Bobcats have never really had that up until recently. It's always been a revolving door of players and coaches previously.   

 

The Cats are a tough team to prognosticate this year.  We might be a playoff team, we might not.  We don't have the best starting five in the league but they're talented and athletic, and we have amazing depth.  Seems like we finally have a coach we can trust.  I feel like we could be 7th in the east this year if a good scenario plays out.

Just remember a lot of Bobcat fans were saying these same exact things last season (talking about improved players, and especially improved coaching). Obviously I hope that we have improved to a 30 win team, but nothing more tbh. I know that people want to win right now, but this draft class is historically good, and if we can land a top 5-8 pick we'll be set up for the future (assuming our current core keeps improving). 27-30 wins, but extremely competitive in many games, only lacking a true superstar to bring us to the top 4 in the East would be not only my hope, but also my prediction on how this season will play out.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
