So, the problem is on offense?  I guess that's new and refreshing!  Marshawn Lynch is a big difference maker between the teams - or simply put, clock management and ball control.

 

Very aggravating considering what little has been done to improve the offense.

Even more frustrating is that the defense lost a few players that provided quality depth.

From the article:

"If you ignore the Z-score and look at just the PPG above or below average, the top defenses since 1978 are Tampa Bay 2002 (+9.8), Chicago 1985 (+9.4), Seattle 2013 (+8.9), Carolina 2013 (+8.6), Pittsburgh 2008 (+8.2), and Baltimore 2000 (+8.0). That’s five Super Bowl winners out of six teams, the maximum possible given this combination."

Cool stat.  And for the most part, Carolina's defense is still intact.  The front 7 will be exactly the same save for some new additions.  Secondary remains to be seen, but I have high hopes for Cason since he played his best seasons under Rivera.

I think everything fell into place with the d because Ron and co were coaching for their lives.

Now the heat is just simmering and everyone is thinking rebuilding so no pressure.

I don't think RR ever coached "for his job."

I think I know what you mean. But...don't all coaches coach "for their job" every game?

Rivera is Rivera. You know what you are going to get from him. He is willing to listen and grow, but basically he is going to be/coach the only way he knows. Give it your best, and let the chips fall where they may.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
