sports Is it the end or beginning for the Bobcats' Kemba Walker?

This could be the end of Kemba Walker in Charlotte. It could also still be the beginning.
In his third year at the most coveted position in basketball - that of primary ballhandler - Walker faces the most pressure of any Bobcats-Hornets player. The NBA has a fair share of point guards who rank better than him, but few that will continue to improve like Walker has the chance to do.
That said, the 2014 draft class looms over the NBA's middle-to-lower tier franchises. Despite improvements at key positions, the Bobcats-Hornets still range in the NBA's lower tier and will look to the draft to improve.
Walker must play better than 2014's potential and prove to the Bobcats-Hornets that he can be good right now. There's no looking to the future after this season; he will be a known commodity. While General Manager Rich Cho may like Walker, he may like the possibility to improve the position more.

sports Is it time for a new Panthers coach?

Buffalo was on the ropes and ready to go down. Much like the Cobra Kai in The Karate Kid, all the Panthers needed to do was give a quick defensive punch and finish the game. Instead, the Bills came out with a crane kick of a touchdown pass with two seconds left, giving the Panthers their second loss of the season.
It's not supposed to be this way. Last year, the Panthers stumbled their way to a 2-8 start before winning five of the last six games. All of that momentum had fans thinking, "Next year's going to be different!" Nope. Not yet.
