This dude... He may be making a difference off-the-ball, but his production with the ball is absolutely horrible. I don't know that I've seen a center throw up so many airballs within 3 feet of the rim. And he has repeatedly done things that completely defy situational strategy and logic. At the end of the game tonight, I believe we were up one, or it was tied, and he got the ball and turned around immediately and threw up a horrible shot as he almost fell into the cameramen under the basket. Then, at the nd of the game, he gets a rebound, down by three, and tries to shoot a two with the ladt shot of the game.

Color me disappointed so far.

I agree and disagree...

He plays good for the first 45 minutes of the game, but the last 3 minutes he was awful. He missed three shots to either tie the game, win the game, or get us within one. He's just a black hole down the stretch.

For the life of me, I don't know why we didn't go to Kemba (10-13) down the stretch.

Aside from my comme t about the airballs, which I've seen him do multiple times over the last week or so, it pretty much is just the end of the game - which is what I was referring to with the situational strategy.

I get that we're paying him to pretty much be the guy, but the way he got the ball when we were tied and immediately turned into a spin and then shot with Gasol all over him was completely retarded. He drove completely under the basket and threw it up into the bottom of the rim. It made absolutely no sense.

Yeah I heard Dell say that they need to go through Al down the stretch... I was like what the hell?

 

He has missed two shots to win the game already and you want to give him a third?

 

What's funny (but not really) is his inability to score down the stretch cost us the game against the Pacers last night as well.

      Casual Sports Betting

      Yea after the early games where I liked all the favorites, not alot I see this afternoon that I'm sure about or like.  Will maybe do some 2nd half bets if I can get away from computer for work to watch games and see trends.   I do think Clemson beats Carolina pretty easily tonight.  Clemson would've won in Chapel Hill if Bogavac didn't have an out of body experience and turn into JJ Reddick the final 3 minutes of that game.

      FA Splash: Panthers sign Jaelan Phillips EDGE

      By h0llywood · Posted

      EDGE Jaelan Phillips signs with Carolina Panthers 2025 PFF Grade: 74.2 2025 PFF WAR: 0.09 Contract: 4 years, $120 million PFF Projected Contract: 1 year, $15 million PFF Deal Grade: Below Average This deal grade could change depending on the guarantees, but the contract is a big risk for the Panthers, given how much time Phillips has missed in his career because of injuries. At his best, he can be a top-15 to top-20 edge defender in the NFL. He ranked tied for 26th in PFF overall grade at the position last year but played fewer than 500 snaps in each of the previous two years.

      We signed Devin Lloyd ILB

      By h0llywood · Posted

      LB Devin Lloyd signs with Carolina Panthers 2025 PFF Grade: 88.4 2025 PFF WAR: 0.24 Contract: 3 years, $45 million PFF Projected Contract: 3 years, $48 million PFF Deal Grade: Good After two years as a good linebacker, Lloyd became one of the game’s best in 2025 by producing an 85.2 PFF run-defense grade and a 78.9 PFF coverage mark. Carolina lands a much-needed playmaker over the middle after placing 29th in PFF overall grade at linebacker, and to add Lloyd below market projection is terrific.
