Not sure but I can't wait for this season.  The Panthers being terribad is a big reason too.  I hope we get to see a lot of Big Al in the post dominating and Kemba able to run a true pick and roll with Al and Zeller.

 

 

 

being a UNC/Panther fan, I can't wait for basketball season to start....as always.

 

How incredible is it that my hopes for happiness are riding on the Bobcats???

Who are the Panthers? The only football I know of is what some Americans call soccer. 

 

(Just pretending the NFL isn't actually a thing so that I can pretend to be happy)

 

P.S. I cannot wait for NBA season. As another poster mentioned, the Bobcats might not be good, or anything more than a 27-30 win team for that matter, but I'm extremely interested in seeing if Clifford is able to change the identity of this team. I'm also excited to see how Kemba, MKG, Biz (less so), and Taylor has developed. Lastly, I want to see if Henderson can stay aggressive from day one and watch Big Al go to work in the low post. I'm not sure Big Al will really help our PnR game a whole lot (only played PnR 9.1% of the time last season, but was effective with 1.01 ppp (ranked 59th)), but at least he will open things up for our offense and get our guards better looks.

Since I've tuned in, 8-0 run for the Hawks with some lazy and terrible ball being played by the Cats. Kemba picking up his dribble behind the 3 point line, lazy passes, just playing out of control, and bad shots from he and Hendo. Zeller and MKG looking decent though IMO. 

 

Kemba better pick it up this season. A huge fan of Kemba since his UCONN days and have called him out last season. If he doesnt show major improvements this season, we might be drafting a PG in the draft next year: Smart, Harrison, or Exum.

Had to leave so I'm not watching much anymore, but just a random note on Kemba...

 

I've thought for a little bit that he could be one hell of a 6th man. If we end up with a PG in next year's draft, bring Kemba off the bench and just let Kemba be Kemba. Come in, be a scorer, and run around like he's back at UCONN. Almost be like a Jamaal Crawford/Nate Robinson type role where his mission is to come in and light it up.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.

      Diontae Johnson had “sigh of relief” when he was traded to Ravens

      By strato · Posted

      You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
