    Courier Article on Panthers' demise

    Pretty good assessment of what has happened to the Panthers.

      That definitely helps to answer my question I posted on the forum a few days ago. The writer did a great job with his research and looking at shooting percentages for the first half of the season and the second half of the team.

      Disappointing, but as fans we really have no control over it whatsoever besides our support for this team and how well we support them at the McLeod.

        "The team ranks first in the league in field-goal percentage defense but eighth in 3-point defense. Identifying shooters and hedging out has been a problem for this squad."

        Great assessment by Matt. I wish I saw this kind of analysis on PantherNation!

        GUARD THE THREE!!!! We have great post defenders, they don't need much help down there.

        The upcoming game versus Bradley will be a great test...They basically have NO post game, they just shot the three and drive to the basket. Let Stout or Coleman (or Jordan, IMO) sit in the middle and swat away the driving shots, and get out on the perimeter!!!

          Yes, most PantherNation posters sit around all day getting paid to watch, think, read, and write about sports...

          When you match the compensation at my current employment I'll sit my rear in front of a keyboard and give you all the Panther Analysis you can handle.

            Yet another useless post...Thanks.

              He is pretty much reiterating and summing everything that has been said on this board. He, along with other members of the state media, read all these boards very frequently. He, along with the Register's Keeler, have said nothing that hasn't been said all year.

                It seems to me that he didn't sum up EVERYTHING on this board, because there are a lot of different, and IMO, some pretty lame opinions on what is wrong with the team on this board. He kept it to the key points, like the lack of defense on 3's, which IMO is very important, and will be a key going forward...

                  Ok, argue semantics all you want. A lot that has been said on this board was summed up in his article.

                    Yeah - this board seems to be fodder for Gary Rima's talking points, that's for sure. Last night, on Marty and Miller, Gary was on for about 15 minutes, and honestly, I thought he was taking his thoughts/opinions directly from the posts on this board.

                    Oh, AND the fact that Rima called EC "Cookie Monster Coleman" in the road-win at MSU. Classic!

                      The artical was right on with stats. Where he didn't go was that there is a lack of mental toughness on this team. Teams that are mentally tough are able to overcome adversity and to impose their will on their opponents.
