GT: Dec 15th Charlotte Vs Orlando 7:30pm

[Liver_Pooty]

Walker is the only player on this team that would start for a majority of the teams in the league (15 or more). This team is still horrible, but is was good to see Biyombo continue to get huge minutes. May we let the player development continue.

Why did MKG ride the pine the whole 4th quarter after helping Kemba lead the run in the 3rd quarter? I know he had 4 fouls, but come on Dunlap.

We play the Lakers on the 18th. Should be a win right?

No offence to orlando, but us losing to them at home means we are back to square one

[Liver_Pooty]

Are we going to hit a 23-game losing skid again? Damn!

I think it may actually go beyond that.

I wouldn't say that. Orlando is just a better team.

[amcoolio]

We are just like the Panthers....when we need a crucial 3rd and long stop late in the game, we always give it up.

Here, I feel like any team will score 100% of the time if there is only 4 seconds left on the shot clock on the inbound. Its inevitable. Every time the announcers say "good play by Henderson to knock it out, 4 seconds left on the shot clock" its automatic, they are going to score.

I don't want to say anything negative after yet another loss in a row, but Kemba is a keeper

[fatlever]

i think we are all dying to see how kemba would play next a few good offensive players. he has proven this year that he can score, fairly efficiently, even with 2-3 defenders keying in on him and little help from his teammates. before i can be 100% convinced in kemba's ability to be a top 10 pg, i want to see how he runs a team when surrounded by scorers. sadly it may be a few more years before we get that chance.

a few too many times last night the other 4 players were just standing around watching kemba. thats not kemba's fault considering the other 4 players didnt deserve the ball and kemba was hot, but still, not something you want to see with any team.

[fatlever]

but of course, the REAL problem last night was defense and rebounding. it got a little better in the 2nd half. the 1st half rotations by our bigs was laughable at times. you could see them looking around at each other like they had no clue who was supposed in certain spots. biz too often got lost while jumping out to double. haywood was two steps too slow on every rotations. mullens just never seems to have any idea where he is supposed to be. bigs always scrambling at the end of possessions meant they were never in good position to box out around the rim.

Remember when mj was being ripped for drafting kemba? He is our best player and the only starter so far on this team. Meanwhile our savior has yet to deliver any starter for this team. May be gilchrist will be the one but I'm not as impress with cho as everyone is. Portland certainly is not regretting letting him go.

Cho was here for our Kemba/Biyombo draft.

Cho was here for our Kemba/Biyombo draft.

What 'therebirth' is saying is that based on some accounts, allegedly Cho wanted Biyombo while MJ wanted Kemba, and that the latter pick is the one that's currently making out to be the better player, so maybe Cho isn't as much of a genius as proclaimed. Personally, I liked both selections & still have hope for Biyombo becoming a top-notch defensive player in the league. I believe the thesis in picking Biyombo at #7 was because Detroit had intentions on taking him at #8. I think people have to give Biyombo until about season 4-5 before he breakthrough. Patience will be key. He's only 20 years old, and he doesn't look too overwhelmed & has made some contributions on the floor if you ask me.

Who would have guessed that the 4th year player would do better early on than the African prospect who learned basketball... well last season.

Before my aforementioned thoughts get lost in the shuffle of explaining what someone else posted, I want to let it be known that I'm optimistic about Biyombo's prospects.
