Game 8: Bobcats@Pistons


King Taharqa

Recommended Posts

The Bobcats seem to be headed on their way to 3-5. Bobcats' defense doesn't seem as good as it was last year, opposing players get wide open jump shots all game long. Another problem is the team gets an incredible amount of stupid fouls including loose ball fouls, illegal picks.

Bobcats look awful, imo. The offseason signings and trades messed up the team. Stevie Graham and Flip Murray weren't needed, all they do is take away from Augustin and Radmonovic's PT and both players seemed to do well in their roles with the team. Also with Augustin, Radmonovic, Graham and Murray, two promising rookies basically won't get any PT at all in Brown and Henderson.

It's still early on, maybe the team can come together and become a team that can compete for a playoff spot.

make that 48-74

people can say larry brown is a good coach, and he certaintly has the credentials, but seeing flip murray and raymond felton play one on one whenever they feel like it suggests otherwise. Also what is with Gerald Wallace dribbling the ball up court when he can't dribble? What is with Tyson Chandler not knowing how to set a pick?

This team is a mess for any fan of good basketball. If this is playing the right way, I'd take playing the wrong way at this point.

Bobcats got smashed tonight in Detroit 75-98. Ouch! 3-5 aint gonna cut it boys if we wanna be a playoff team. Somehow we gotta stop the bleeding and get back to picking up W's. Plenty of time left to get it done. The season is still very young.

losing to the pistons (a team that likely will fight for a 6-8 spot like us) in a blowout when their best two players aren't playing is not a good sign

i agree the season is young but if the team continues to disappoint i fear the team will make another self destructive personnel move and get rid of Gerald Henderson or Gerald Wallace (who probably has really high trade value atm considering his age, team first attitude doesn't need shots, fast break player, rebounding machine, etc.) by All Star break.

Was flipping between this and the Hurricanes romp last night. Great time to be a pro sports fan in Carolina.

I thought the Bobcats looked pretty decent in their wins. Not amazing, but alright. But seriously, I know it's the Magic, and I know it's the Pistons, and I know its the...

But c'mon we gotta play better than that. I know we don't have that great scorer, but we've got to get set up on the offensive side better. The looks that we get are absolutely terrible a lot of the time.

yeah, we've played 8 games and we've been down 20 in i think 4 of them at some point. we're not keeping games close at all and a lot of that is not getting good shots for extended periods of time on offense.

at this point i'd take Allen Iverson and all his problems just to have a guy who can score 20 night in and night out.

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch
