Bobcats had about 50 chances to win this 1 in the final minutes of the game and blew every opportunity. No way we should've loss to this sorry ass Washington team if we expect to be in the playoffs. This might be the nail in the coffin to the playoff aspirations. I will say that DJ Augustin had a fantastic 4th quarter and came up with some big steals that kept us fighting.

Yeah I feel the same way. The teams immaturity and inexperience really was spotlighted tonight. It's unfortunate because they are a young, talented group of guys, but we have to learn how to be mature in those situations and be able to come out with a win. Augustin had 2 steals in the last minute to give us a chance to win, but we couldn't capitalize on the last one, even when we had numbers, they didn't take the open shot. Wallace was fouled while scoring and had a chance to tie the game and send it to OT but the FT was missed, and Okafor and Diaw both had a chance to put it back up but missed gimme lay ups and we lost.

Getting blown out by a mediocre team at home + blowing a 20 point lead vs the worst team in the Eastern conference = No playoffs.

Washington tried every way known possible to give it away in the last min. And the bobcats kept giving it back.... Looked like alot of immaturity but missed free throws in the 4th killed them. They scored 57 points in the first half then proceeded to score 22 in the next 18 mins of play. To me what their missing is a go to scorer who gets his shot or the foul in crunch time. With the shot clock running down it's either a jump shot or a turnover with this group.

But I do like them, need another piece or 2 and some more experience.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By KSpan · Posted

      As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.

      Ja'Tavion Sanders avoids serious injury

      By Captroop · Posted

      I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
