Major changes need to happen

[enigmaboy89]

After watching the Bobcats lose their 18th straight game I feel that major changes need to be made. The team is dropping in the standings and if they continue on this pace they will be one of the worst teams again this year.

I feel that changes need to be made
- Dunlap needs to go, at first I thought he know what he was doing but not anymore. The Bobcats need a coach that will scare the players to do well. Dunlap is not getting the best out of his players.
- Trades need to be made. Diop needs to go, he is earning a lot of money that he does not deserve. Cho needs to trade some players and start to spend money on GOOD PROVEN players.

I do not want this team to be laughed at again this year. I know they won't go to the playoffs this years, but it does not mean that management can't try to make the team better. We can't depend on the draft again, as the Bobcats get screwed each year with the draft.

You mean to tell me the worst team to ever play a season of NBA basketball didn't suddenly become a much better team over the course of one offseason?

Dunlap knows exactly what hes doing and hes not getting paid to win . Hes getting paid to develop players , Kemba, MKG, Mullens , Smack, Taylor , Kemba has exceded expectations , MKG is coming on . If you look at tonights + - MKG , Kemba and Taylor was very competive.

Well, actually 13th straight loss, although that doesn't make it much better. But they already were going to be one of the worst teams this year. They've pretty much only beaten absolutely horrible or depleted teams for their victories - we have a severely unbalanced, guard heavy roster, and one of the youngest, most inexperienced teams. This was never a playoff team, nor was it meant to be.

Again, Dunlap was commissioned to develop players, not go all out for victories. But Dunlap has been incredible with getting the best out of players.

Kemba last season: 12.1 points, 4.4 assists, .9 steals, 2.4 assist/turnover ratio, 36% FG, 30% 3 pointers
Kemba in December: 22.2 points, 6.6 assists, 1.9 steals, 3.7 assist/turnover ratio, 48% FG, 36% 3 pointers

Henderson has been injured and not playing as much, but his 3 pointers have gone from 23% to 56% this year, and 62% in December, while shooting them at a much higher rate. And his efficiency has been much improved with a career high 16.84 PER, true shooting % of 54%, and 21 points/40 minutes.

Bismack has been averaging about 10 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 6.5 points as a starter, while shooting 51%. As raw as Biz was coming into the league, for him to start approaching Ben Wallace territory already after a year and change is quite a feat in development, especially how lost he looked last year.

Mullens is harder to see, but Dunlap has convinced him to try to play defense this year, even though he isn't very good at it. But he's getting better. He is a much improved rebounder, and he also now goes into the post about 15% of the time, versus the 0% of the time he had previously in his career.

And I like how he is bringing MKG and Taylor along.

Listen, when learning a new language, training a pet, raising a baby, building a house, learning karate, whatever it is, you won't be an expert after 2 months. Changing a culture, building fundamentals, instilling attitude, refining skills - this is a process that will take the course of a season or two or three. There will be leaps and bounds, and also trips and falls. The key is to not overreact to any of it, but to take it as part of the process.

I do not want this team to be laughed at again this year. I know they won't go to the playofs this years, but it does not mean that management can't try to make the team better. We can't depend on the draft again, as the Bobcats get screwed each year with the draft.

I mean, we're going to be the joke of the league until we win a playoff series. And we won't get there unless we build the right way and not shoot our load early. Management is trying to make the team better, and I think they've done a great job so far, and can't wait to see what they do with all their assets in the coming years.

And the Bobcats weren't getting screwed (well, besides the unibrow debacle this year), they were just completely inept. Now that we have Cho, I'm not worried anymore about drafting busts.

Hendo's gotta go

Wow, talk about an immature reaction. It isn't fantasy basketball, you don't just blow something up if it doesn't work. You advocating Dunlap going and trades being made, your just stupid to think that would do anything or is possible. I request you man up

[Scottley Crue]

Patience is key. Rome wasn't built in a day, nor will this franchise be built in one offseason. Remember, OKC went through a few long losing streaks like this in their "training" years. Things will be ok, you'll just have to wait on it.

I cant believe I am even saying this...but I think we miss Tyrus Thomas. He is a great energy guy and always challenged anybody coming into the middle. Our second unit has been getting burned and defense is the problem. Could Tyrus Thomas of all people be a key to winning? I don't believe we've won since he got injured.

Please somebody tell me Im stupid and give me another reason why all of a sudden we can't win!! It cant be bc of Tyrus Thomas!!
