I love Melo but the group that was in cut it to 3. He comes in and were down 9 15 seconds later. Sometimes you gotta just ride the hot group

Melo throwing up random hail mary 3's and Gordon missing open jump shots killed the momentum other guys had built. I only caught the 4th quarter but those two both looked complacent

Miller is going to be special. Refs gave us the shaft, long and hard. They let Detroit play physical and blew the whistle on us for petty stuff. NBA hates the Charlotte market, so don't expect much. Always puzzles me how the Hornets are the only team in the NBA without the classic "home court" advantage. It is what it is.

I miss the hive.

Miller played 33 minutes and was only a -2.

Washington, Hayward, Rozier, and Ball all played around the same minutes and were anywhere from -7 to -12.

Plus-minus isn’t a great indicator of defense but it can be a good indicator of which players are on the court when the team goes on a run.

Of course Miller got taken out as soon as he cut the game to four with his massive dunk.

Clifford is going to coach himself out of a job because he simply doesn’t understand when to take guys out and when to leave them in.

Williams still better.  I still don't understand why we don't have both other then mj being a cheap ass

I'm big on Mark Williams. But trading Duren for a few dimes and nickels to draft the likes of Bryce McGowens when we could have both is some Scott Fitterer bullshit.

Yeah it was basically to save money for Miles' contract as I remember it. Just take the guy and figure it out later. He's way more valuable than a couple 2nds or whatever we got. GM's are supposed to figure that poo out

Absolutely. It looks even worse to know keeping Miles Bridges around with his heavy baggage was a significant factor in the trade.

This is a franchise that has had either average mediocre or laughably poor center play for the better part of 2 decades now with Al Jefferson being one of the few bright spots. It'd be nice to potentially have a 1-2 punch under rookie contracts and clearly we could use some more physicality around the rim.

But missteps like this are why Mitch wore out his welcome with the Lakers and why he will end things the same way here.

    • That's not an nfl issue it's an owner issue. The owners put pressure on the coaches to play them before they are ready. Very few if any have a vet to sit behind for at least a year to learn and adjust to the game. The Panthers would benefit from having a serviceable veteran that would allow them to sit their next rookie. Had they done that last season maybe things would look different. 
    • My dude, why do you keep doing things like this?  I don't take joy in questioning anyone else's intelligence or reading comprehension skills, but you keep doing things like things, and I can't let such asinine responses go without calling them out, it's just not in me to do that. LITERALLY in the very first sentence of the post you quoted, I straight up acknowledge and accept that you would take the QB there if you can't trade down, which in turn, is an acknowledgement of how you view them as an elite prospect. Period. There is no debating that, I literally right there in the first sentence did EXACTLY what you are claiming here that I can't do.   BEYOND any of that, you're still completely ignoring my question to you, which is a completely valid question in a discussion such as this right now, let's recap shall we........ The generic question is what to do with the #1 pick.  It's near unanimous that we use it to trade down, great, since we all agree, we can move past it in regards to the current discussion, as it's a hypothetical that requires another team's help to happen.   So we move onto the question of what we would do with the #1 pick if we have to make the selection there, great, simple, easy peasy, on the same page still. You have said you'd take a QB, I disagree, but numerous times have acknowledge you and some others feel that way (even though you bafflingly thing I haven't, disagreeing with someone isn't refusing to acknowledge their view). In the last 28 years the only positions to go #1 overall have been QB, DE, and OT.  I've clearly explained why I don't see any of those positions making sense for the Panthers, in our current state, to take in this draft, with this draft class.  Because of that, you still have to make a selection, you don't get to pass on making a pick. So I said I would take T-Mac with a full explanation (numerous times) as to why I view him as the prospect to take compared to the other options.  To which you deride and question my football intelligence solely for saying I'd take a WR #1 overall when you don't have a QB. I then ask you a simple question, which you refuse to answer solely on the basis of you saying you'd go with the QB.  You can't attack someone for saying they'd take a WR there and then refuse to answer the question of who you would take instead if you couldn't take a QB. Because there is a very real possibility that the Panthers will look at the QB's and agree with me (and many others) that there isn't a QB that is worth the risk taking at #1 overall and they end up unable to trade back and have to make a pick there and won't go with a QB because of their grades on this class.   Which again, is my question to you, in THAT scenario, who are you drafting 1st overall if it's not a QB? It's a simple question, and answering it doesn't mean you don't believe in the QB's at that spot in the slightest, or even that I'm not accepting of your views on the QB's in this class.
