I wasn't expecting much, though Portland only had 15 points with 6 min to go in the quarter..which led me to believe they wouldn't pull out as far as other teams. I was wrong, they went on a huge run.

Mullens is in foul trouble so no pressure on the post defense for Portland. Portland can't seem to guard Henderson though without fouling..but he is the only one they have to worry about.

35-18 after one....frick.

And let me say this too - it is an embarrassment to see the freaking team president's son out there playing like crap. It's like an AAU team.

Yeah Higgins is complete an utter garbage. At least Diop is big, long, and provides an occasional rebound. Carroll at least can make team run out to him on the 3 pt line..Higgins doesn't do anything well. Liability on defense, ball handling is poor, shooting is terrible, and he doesn't have a clue how to use an on-ball screen.

:banghead:

I mean..I care or else I wouldn't be up watching or in this thread. I like to think that once augustin and Maggatte come back this team won't be as god awful.

The young guys are getting valuable playing time (kemba, biz, mullens).

A starting rotation eventually this season of Augustin, Henderson, MAggatte Tyrus, Diop with a bench of Williams, Brown, Kemba, White and Mullens seems to be better than what they cats are now. I guess thats why I continue to watch..toss in a general love for basketball helps.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
