My Observations, Bobcats vs Rockets

We can all agree it's near impossible to judge a team after one game but, I'll come right out and say it. This team still looks horribly undercoached. Steve Clifford looks like he is worse at distributing minutes correctly than Mike Dunlap. We started off hot but when the shots stopped falling for us we should of put in Ben Gordon and fed him the ball. It's unacceptable that we didn't give him any minutes. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's shot is absolutely atrocious, I can't believe I'm saying it but, I think his shot has gotten even worse. I'm not even going to consider someone at age 20 a bust already but, his shot is just unacceptable. I thought Mark Price would have his form better by now. Henderson pissed me off so bad, what the fug was he doing out there? Whenever he got the ball he wouldn't pass it, he just immediately would heave an ill advised brick. 5-16 from the floor. Thank god we just gave him a new contract. We might regret not sign and trading him. Remember how a few people on here wanted to sign Monta Ellis? Well, he had 32 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals last night. Kemba started off hot and finished cold, but he had a decent game. My only knock on his game was dumping the ball off to Jefferson way too much. That might not be a bad thing when Jefferson is having a good game, too bad that was not the case last night. I'm almost convinced Jefferson's ankle had him limited and kept him from playing how he wanted to. He still needs to settle in so I guess you could give him a pass for going 6-19. I was not impressed with Cody Zeller, but It would be ridiculousness to judge him off of one game. I will say he needs more minutes than 16. Jeffery Taylor disappointed me to no ends. 28 minutes and only accumulated 5 points, 2 boards an assist and a block. Biyombo played like..... Biyombo. I'll leave it at that. The only real bright spot was Sessions reminding us why he is a top backup PG and McRoberts having a very decent night. Not many 6'10 Fowards can knock down threes like that. 

 

Just once I would like to see how this team would play with Ben Gordon starting or getting 25+ minutes.

 

I'm not even going to talk about the Rockets, you saw what they did to us. Unacceptable, so fuging unacceptable.

Big Al missed preseason. I'm fine with feeding him relentlessly until he gets it going.

 

Sessions is absolute trash. IDK what you were watching. He made a couple decent plays but overall looked like the worst player on the court most of the time. I'll give him that he made a layup and a jumpshot in the same game for the first time in his life. He also got a couple lucky and-1's.

 

I'm perfectly fine with Gordon not seeing the floor. He has no future in Charlotte and no team is going to trade for even his expiring contract. He is not a good offensive player anymore and doesn't even attempt to play defense. No need for him on the court.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Also says a successful record for the Panthers would be 8-9 at minimum. Anything less let's us know something isn't clicking. Anything over 8 wins is over achieving

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Top 5 areas who hold most pressure according to AI:    Bryce Young (QB): As the 2023 No. 1 pick, Young’s under fire to boost his 2024 stats (11 TDs, 10 INTs) despite thin WR talent, or he’ll be labeled a bust faster than a comet crashing into a black hole. His growth is critical, like Burrow’s 2020-21 Bengals leap to the Super Bowl or Carolina’s 2001-03 rise from 1-15 to Super Bowl with Delhomme’s emergence—step up, or you’re just a pint-sized promise lost in the cosmos, oh cosmic quarterback. Dave Canales (Head Coach): Canales must scheme around limited WRs and a porous defense to lift the 5-12 Panthers, or Tepper’s impatience will send him packing like a wayward space probe. His play-calling needs to mirror the Lions’ 2020-22 rebuild under Campbell (3-13 to 12-5) or Carolina’s 2010-13 climb from 2-14 to 12-4—fail, and he’s back to assistant stardust, you playbook prophet. Dan Morgan (GM): Morgan’s tasked with upgrading the WR corps and defense after years of roster gaps, or he’ll be jettisoned like a malfunctioning satellite. Smart acquisitions, like the Bills’ 2018-19 additions for Allen’s playoff push or Carolina’s 2012-15 surge to 15-1, are his lifeline—miss, and he’s a galactic footnote, you roster wrangler. Defense: Allowing an NFL-worst 534 points in 2024, this unit must stop being a galactic sieve or remain the league’s punchline. Turnarounds like the 49ers’ 2018-19 defensive revival to Super Bowl contention or Carolina’s 2012-13 shift to 12-4 show it’s doable—stay leaky, and you’re the universe’s doormat, you generous tacklers. Wide Receivers: With no top-tier talent in 2024, this group—likely led by new faces like Tetairoa McMillan—must step up to give Young viable targets, or they’ll doom the offense like a starless void. Elevating like the Rams’ 2021 WR corps with Kupp for Stafford’s Super Bowl run, or Carolina’s 2002-03 receivers enabling an 11-5 Super Bowl push, is their mission—flop, and you’re catching nothing but shade, you route-running rogues.

      I was literally about to reply and say the exact same thing. I don't know what the coaching staff sees in him.
