As for the game, this streak Durant is on is just ridiculous. If Westbrook comes back at his normal level, they may win a title post-Harden trade. Which I didn't think would be possible looking at the past couple of years. KD has made another leap it seems and is coming for LBJ's crown of not only champion, but best player in the world.

LeBron is still far and away the best player in the world he scores less than KD but takes less shots. he avg more rebounds and assists, he is the best 1on1 defender in the league, and he shoots a higher percentage. He is the best. You can compare them that well because durant has to score on his team while LeBron doesn't and he is a team player who enjoys getting teammates shots just as much as getting himself shots. Even last night, LeBron outscored Kevin Durant who is supposed to be coming for the throne, and he outscored him while taking 4 less shot attempts. And if you watched that game like I did, LeBron could've isolated on Durant every single play and just gave him the business with ease because any time he wants to he gets to the basket. KD is more reliant on jumpers which is always going to be less consistent than driving. LeBron is by far the better player but I don't deny Durant is playing out of his mind right now.

So the only football games you watch are when the Panthers play?

nobody said that.. when the panthers are playing, I watch the panthers. I think that's what he meant.

with that said, I love watching lebron and durant and since my antenna picks up almost every heat game for some reason (no bobcat games of course) I usually do.

was a fun game.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
