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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      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.
