Sessions and McBob have been awful tonight while Henderson and Zeller have been playing really well... yet Clifford keeps those two in for long periods of time...

 

Management must have had told the team to tank because there's no excuse for this poor display of coaching.

The Cats looked like a solid 5-6 seed for the first 27 games. Something changed after the December 21st game against the Jazz.

Well... we haven't gotten the opportunity to be positive in a while...

 

So I'd like to commend Cody Zeller on what probably was his best half of basketball in his young career.

 

Zeller went 2 for 3 from the field for 5 points with 2 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 blocked shot.

 

His defense was a concern coming in to the league, but tonight it's been great. If I'm not mistaking, Boozer has not scored one point on Zeller (all on McRoberts). Zeller made a great defensive play on Boozer when Boozer was in the triple threat postion... Boozer turned to face Zeller and Zeller ultimately tipped the ball from Boozer and made the steal. Then Zeller had a great block on Noah that resulted in a jump ball which he won to Pargo. Zeller played good help defense off of Boozer once Noah got by Jefferson. Zeller met Noah in the air and got a jump ball out of it.

So with that said, good job Cody.

I left at about the 2nd quarter. So idk they got injured. Are they ok?

CDR slammed his hip into another player. Kemba looked like he dislocated or broke a finger. Kemba's injury looked a little bit serious but shockingly both of the came back in to start the second half.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
