Game 6: Charlotte Bobcats vs. New York Knicks

Ugly game. We are better than that. We need AJ back pronto, and we need Coach back pronto.

Right now we have three starters that give us very little on offense in terms of scoring (although MKG has been playing pretty well the last couple of games :))

I was sitting about 6 rows behind the NY bench...fiancé got tickets through her job at Hanes.

Some notes:

-Bargini is the best player on the Knicks

-Melo had the quietest 20+ point game I've ever seen

-Kemba is a warrior, always giving 100%. Great player to build a team with.

-MKG played good D on Melo for the most part. Shot still way suspect, even if he did knock some down early. Also, he jumps on his free throws. I've literally never seen that.

-Hendo is athletic enough to always be able to create his own shot, but his shot isn't that great. He'll never be more than a 6th man on a good team.

-Big Al will be a huge upgrade. Offense is quite horrendous without him. Kemba is the only legit scoring threat IMO.

-Zeller should get more opportunities. I'd like to see him in some ISO sets. He never really got a chance tonight.

-Amare is awesome. He only played limited minutes, but he was a force when in the game and reminded me he was once a top 5 player.

-the lineup for the first 8 minutes of 2nd quarter was mind boggling. I don't think Kemba or Henderson were in until the 4 minute mark. Not sure wth we were thinking.

-Clinton Portis was sitting behind Knicks bench. He hugged Melo as they walked through the tunnel post game, and some teen grabbed the towel off Melo's back. Melo was pissed and his security guy almost decked the kid. The kid was escorted off by security.

-lots and lots of Knicks fans. I felt good wearing my Panther tshirt. Not one person talked poo, they remember the Giants game.

I think Kemba is still hurt but with Jefferson already out he is just trying to be a leader. I know we started well last year but even without big Al this team looks like they are gelling with each other. If we end up with 3 picks this draft we will end up being a team to watch in the east.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
