Ya'll asshats wishing that we lose aren't even fans.

When the team is finally good, no one will ever respect you.

Shut your poo. I never get how fans cry about how much bigger of a fan they are compare to others.

I'm a damn fan of this team since day 1! I'm damn smart enough to know that we need a franchise star building block.

Clifford is just another POS coach, he has no clue how to play the players and when to play them. Bismack was turning into a dominate force on the defensive side of the ball... I felt over the off season coach ewing could work with him on his offense. Even if Biyombo only scores 6-7 points a game his defense make sup for it. I still can't stand Zeller. I can't even understand why McRoberts isn't getting more time. fug fug fug fug, too good to get a lotto pick too bad to go anywhere in the playoffs.

I'm not cheering for them to loose but I also understand that in the NBA a small market team needs a superstar and the only way for a small market to get one is the draft. Only way to get the draft pick to draft a superstar is to be bad. Because the cats certainly don't have the assets to make a trade for one or to make major moves in the draft.

Asset wise the cats have MKG and the expiring contract of Gordan. That's it.

- Biyombo is a one-dimensional player, for a team that ranks third in defense; they don't need more defense. Adrien at least has an offensive game that Clifford can work with.

- Zeller is a rookie, give him time.

- McRoberts was in foul trouble the entire game, there was no way to get him more minutes tonight.

- The east is so bad that whoever gets the number one draft pick is going to deserve it.

I was talking about the season in general when it comes to Zeller and McRoberts... I have a terrible feeling about zeller, I can't help it.

Zeller is going to need an offseason.

 

He just isn't fluid and he may never be.

 

I don't particularly think he will ever be a starter but I think he can be a solid bench player that gets you 10 points night in an night out.

That's what the Bobcats keep drafting "someone who might be a solid bench player one day" The only decent pick we have made in years is MKG..

 

 

I understand the whole suck until you draft a star thing but, you need some drafting skills to draft that star..

I find it hilarious that people are already giving up on Cody and we're barely 15 games into the season... lol... this is the same fan base that had to sit through three all-time horrible years of Tyrus Thomas before they acquiesced that he would not ever "reach his potential," after giving up a first rounder and money to him. Oh yeah, and we waited around on Hendo to be average at best. And how bout how Biz was going to be the next Ibaka? LOL.

And yet, Cody is already a bust?

He isn't getting minutes and he's not being given a chance to make an impact. I thought he looked good tonight. The summer league was not a fluke... he can do those same things in any given game. He needs the time to do it. And I still don't understand why he's riding the bench as the #4 overall pick, behind a rotational glue guy, when he should be out there getting time and developing.

And no, he is NOT Hansborough. Zeller has much better feet, athleticism, and coordination. Again, he needs the time to play and learn on the job, not sit behind McBob as he racks up single digit stats in every possible category outside of blocks and steals.

Maybe if he could gain 30 pounds of muscle and get a tan I'd feel better.

Sorry, I don't talk to people that cheer for their supposedly 'favorite' team to lose... blocked.

 

NO! I'm cheering for my favorite team to "WIN". Win for a damn player worth building your whole damn franchise around so maybe one day you can smell some relevance in the future instead of being a damn sorry as team in the league for the last decade. 

 

You acting like a "good" fan cheering for us to keep winning and make the damn 8th seed is the one cheering for us to lose.

Our next 5 years depends all on this next draft.

Im not calling him a bust 'yet'. I'll give him a full year under his belt, then maybe next year I'll start to pick him apart. But, right now he have shown very little to why he was worth the no4 overall pick.

During the games I can't root for the Bobcats to lose, but I also don't get upset when they lose. If I had my wish we'd finish with a bottom 5 record in the NBA. You have to understand that we aren't even on the same planet as the Heat or Pacers and forget the western conference teams (wouldn't even be close to sniffing the playoffs in that conference). I just want to be able to root for something more than a yearly 7-8 seed that gets 4-0'd by the Pacers or Heat every year. You think that missing the playoffs and being awful every year is no fun? At least you add a potential all-star or star to your roster after those seasons. There is nothing good about being a 7-8 seed in the NBA. That's the thing that sucks about the NBA though... there are only a few teams that have a legit shot, whereas in baseball and football just about everyone that gets in has a shot (granted half the teams make it in in the NBA).

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
