I sat next to the Orlando bench last night. Those guys genuinely have fun out there. They had an almost college enthusiasm. Even during warmups when they had a globe trotter like mini dunk/layup contest that the crowd loved. During breaks they would actually watch and cheer for the fans doing the contests on the court. After each score Jason Williams would do a very subtle booty dance that had his team laughing. They played loose on the court because they were loose. They had the most fun, and it was the difference in OT.

Charlotte can learn something there.

Yeah but what if Charlotte won by 30 last night? The same argument could be made that Orlando needed to be more focused. Donovan McNabb was real loose when he was playing guitar hero coming out of the tunnel in Dallas.....that turned out well.

I agree with what RadioKiller in that it is easy to be loose when you have so much talent and are a top team in the East. Bobcats are fighting to become relevant and make the playoffs for the first time. Plus, having a loose team in not really Larry Brown's style.

I think team chemistry is more important in the NBA than any other sport. When the Hornets made their run a few years back the team was like a family and had fun every night no matter the outcome. A year later it looked like they wanted to murder Byron Scott.

Who are these "Hornets" you speak of? LOL

Yep, more swagger. Plus, if they are trying to win over the fan base they need to realize what they do is entertainment. Make it fun for the fans every second you are on the court. Even during warm ups.

True, but the best kind of entertainment is winning. If this team could become a consistent playoff contender then I believe folks would start coming out.

IMO, they need to break the bank and bring in one more Stephen Jackson caliber guy to push this team over the top. Chris Bosh or Amare Stoudemire anyone?

Would we be able to afford them?

I definitely wouldn't try to trade for any expirings this year that could hurt our current morale/chemistry.

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
