Jeremiah: Panthers "dead set" on drafting an offensive lineman
MechaZain replied to Mr. Scot's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yes. I don't treat positional value as gospel. BPA is a myth as well since you won't really know who that was was until the class hits the field. There's a lot of unspoken value in having a positon sured up, no matter how important it is overall. -
Jeremiah: Panthers "dead set" on drafting an offensive lineman
MechaZain replied to Mr. Scot's topic in Carolina Panthers
This is the debate around Tyler Linderbaum. Checks off every box but do you want to use a #6 on a center? That's higher than Luke and Christian were picked. Kalil was the top C of his class and we got him at the bottom of the second. -
Hornets Sign Isaiah Thomas To A 10-Day Contract
MechaZain replied to MillionDollarCam's topic in Charlotte Hornets
Another sly move from Mitch. Costs nothing and he could be a great replacement for Ish. Ironically we keep getting smaller lol -
This aged poorly he was clutch down the stretch. Rebounding and a lot of bad judgement by LaMelo in the end lost this one.
-
Plumlee turns into David Robinson when he locks in it's infuriating
-
They're feeling it tonight. Trez and LaMelo developing some chemistry on these passes.
-
would rather go 0-17 with Cam than root for this creep

The All Star Game thread--first of many for Melo
MechaZain replied to Captain Morgan's topic in Charlotte Hornets
Same minutes and points as Kobe's first -
Feel bad for Trez. Dude's balling but they can't keep it together.

Hornets Acquire Montrezl Harrell from Washington
MechaZain replied to MillionDollarCam's topic in Charlotte Hornets
Very curious to see how this works out. So many of our problems at center boil down to power and effort and that’s his entire game. Eric and Dell clearly campaign for dude when we play him. Got their wish. -
Hornets trying to trade PJ for a big man
MechaZain replied to Captain Morgan's topic in Charlotte Hornets
Houston and Miami fans vying for PJ the most on twitter. Seen PJ/Bouk for Christian Wood a couple times. -
why is vernon carey on the team
-
worst luck of all-time this guy
-
Malik was sniffing coke here you can’t have that around the franchise superstar who’s not old enough to drink. Going to a team full of hall of fame vets was the best thing that could have happened to Monk and he seems like he’s grown up, I’m genuinely happy for the guy.

PJ is who I was talking about. Definitely our best center but teams with any size are a problem for us without Plumlee or Richards on the court. Everything revolves around covering up our weakness at the 5 cuz you either go with PJ and get bullied by bigger teams or pray that Plumlee decides to be an NBA player that night Bouknight’s the worst passer of the guards and maybe the third best shooter in his current state, there’s just not a lot moments to justify him in the lineup when we’re floating around .500. And I disagree, whenever I’ve seen him get minutes it’s either in garbage time or because we needed someone to start scoring. I think he’ll be fine though. Even this scene pales in comparison to Malik’s immaturity here.
-
And in defense of JB's rotations, most of the lineups are to try and mitigate how we have 20 guards and our best big is not a true center. Bouk only makes sense out when the others are cold and they need a shooting spark, and there's so many shooters on this team that it's rare.

If you honestly believe that this team is just marginally better than Clifford's horncats there's no reasoning with you my friend. There's no question the franchise is on the come up a lot fans just refuse to give JB any credit for it. The idea that the team just improved like that in a vacuum and is now being held back by bad coaching is silly to me. I've said the same about MJ criticism for years. When the going gets tough "Jordan micromanages and is too cheap" when they're doing well it's because the GM's great and he got out of the way.Judge these guys by the results they produce not your preconceptions of them.
-
Gotta consider where the team was before compared to now. The way critics make his player development out to be is how Clifford actually ran this team for 5 years, always opting for vets and not giving the young guys any time. Defense was all he had going for him and it's not like Charlotte was one the top teams in that regard. Under Borrego we've had a ROTY, incredible team chemistry, an exciting young roster with a lot of developing guys, and arguably the top offense in basketball. If the defense wasn't so wildly inconsistent I think he'd easily be a coach of the year candidate. I thought he was in the running last year until the collapse down the stretch when Gordon went down. Charlotte has literally gone from gutter status to a top team under Borrego and people are too focused on their favorite project getting more play time to see that. Players get the credit for everything good about the team right now and he gets blamed for everything bad.

ESPN sim: Cam re-signs for 1 yr, Pickett #6
MechaZain replied to MechaZain's topic in Carolina Panthers
I haven't watched Pickett play a snap, he could be Dan Marino for all I know. I don't like Rhule having that much power when dude's supposed to be on a short leash. If this didn't reek of desperation I'd feel way different.
