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.

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
