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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
