Bye Bye, '11-'12 season

As much as I enjoy watching the Bobcats, and to some extent the NBA as a whole, the powers that be of the NBA may soon learn that there is not much clamoring for their product. If they have to tear the whole thing down in order to rebuild a more practical economic structure, I'm all for it. I personally won't be devastated by a missed season.

Besides, college hoops is the ticket anyway.

I think you have a very valid point Chaos... the NBA isn't the NFL... the NFL could have missed a season and it would have hurt them, but no that much... the fanbase is huge.

The NBA sucks... College Basketball is very popular... a lot of people may decide they don't miss it. I for one won't miss it a bit.

BTW, I just glanced at the Bobcats roster because I haven't thought about it lately. Absolute garbage. We don't have 1 player on our team who would be a starter on a championship caliber team. Not 1. Maybe I won't miss this season after all.

Well, not to try to sound like an ass, but we were not going to make the playoffs with the team we have now, so I aint mad.

I 100% back what MJ is doing. So therefore I back the Owners. Charlotte will never be a contender if we cant bring in and afford the talent.

Its a shame this is happening, but there are going to be alot of players not getting a paycheck this year who will be pretty pissed!

With the season done, a lot of players who were expecting to have re-signed with their teams by now will be free agents next summer (assuming a new CBA is in place by then). The entire free agent class looks huge plus it includes this past summers free agents who never got a chance to sign. It is quite a list including (but not limited to):

Dwight Howard *

Chris Paul *

Derrick Rose

Kevin Love

Brook Lopez

Steve Nash

Tim Duncan

Nicolas Batum

Jamal Crawford

Kevin Garnett

Russell Westbrook

Chauncey Billups

Nene

Jason Terry

Antawn Jamison

Kirk Hinrich

Ray Allen

Jeff Green

Tayshaun Prince

Roy Hibbert

Chris Kaman

O.J. Mayo

Marc Gasol

JaVale McGee

Shane Battier

Michael Beasley

Jason Kidd

Tyson Chandler

Caron Butler

Andre Miller

Danilo Gallinari

D.J. Augustin

David West

Elton Brand *

Vince Carter

Grant Hill

Raymond Felton

Marcus Camby

Greg Oden

Samuel Dalembert

Antonio McDyess

* Would have to opt out of their final year which is highly likely.

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
