Was it just my feed or did Tre Mann hit a growth spurt?

Ain't going to lie, Salmon has a really nice looking three-point stroke

Was at this game, surprisingly fun game. We looked good other than that stretch with Simpson, Jeffries, Washington, Johnson, Giles which made me cry.

Yeah we had a stretch with about 4mins to go where the offence just stalled, which put us down by 10 but Lee called timeout and got them back on track to almost get the win.

A lot to be encouraged about tonight, I don't think we'll be everyone's wipping boys that the media are making us out to be. We still have Grant, Mark and Cody to come back into the rotation

They had the Swarm Squad in for just about all the 4th quarter. I understand why but can't be disappointed in the outcome

Lots of positives from the game, but Nick Richards stuck out. He looked excellent.

Beat me to this. He looked really solid - also looks like he added a bit of bulk/muscle.

Considering we were missing 4 rotation players, our depth is surprisingly decent. We still went 10 deep last night with credible rotation guys. That's exciting.

What? He was sloppy and fumbling balls all over the place. Even had a goaltend already :D

We're screwed if he's playing major mins. Taj outplayed him.

Outside of that and some questionable Micic play, everyone else looked really solid even Saloon

I don't go to games a lot (and I guess I'm not super observant lol) so I didn't really notice that much of a difference. I was on the 200 level and it was kind of annoying because the concessions up there were understaffed I guess due to it being preseason and that whole fan Dr. Pepper area thing was closed and kinda looked like they weren't done with construction yet.

I wasn't super impressed but I don't think the unveiled everything. They didn't have stats posted anywhere and it looked like they had intentionally covered some of the suites.

Also it's possible that there were a lot of really noticable improvements and I just missed it due to lack of aforesaid observation skills.

I might be wrong but I think most of this offseasons upgrades were to suites and such. Next season is the bigger one I believe with added seats etc

I think this is accurate. I went to a lot of games last year and didn’t notice many changes during the first preseason game. Looks like the main thing that was completed in this first phase was the new entrance that is connected to the train.

That entrance desperately needed to be done. To be honest I'm kind of meh looking at the renderings period. I am very meh about the billion dollar plus renovation that will take place on bank of america. I'm not one of those that's pissed about tax dollars because it's all hotel tax but just looking at the videos, renderings, etc it just doesn't look nice for the money.

Especially considering the product the panthers have put out the last couple years. Can’t speak on the BOA renovations because I just haven’t gone in awhile but I’m assuming most of the improvements were technology based as the BOA Stadium and the Spectrum Center seem to be a bit behind in that aspect, but agreed it doesn’t seem to look much different cosmetically considering the money that is being spent.
