Waiting for Bonnell to be replaced or fired is like the same.

we have one preseason game left

[TheKingofSting]

With who we were missing and with falling behind early to fight back is impressive to me at least.

Could definitely use him.

[TheKingofSting]

There will be a big difference in the team for sure.

some highlights

[TheKingofSting]

Good looking out JDR, I was hoping to find some highlights somewhere.

[EwingSweatsALot]

Still not that impressed with MKG. I am one of the few that actually like taylor I think. He is a decent shooter, a solid defender and can play some 4 for us if needed

Taylor wasn't good before the ACL and domestic violence. Doubt he would be better after it and at that better than MKG.

[LofJ]

Lol at Taylor playing the 4. That makes no sense whatsoever.

To some it might be underwhelming, but I like Biyombo's stat line from last night as a starter: 5 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assist, and 1 block, with a +1 in 29 minutes

Agreed. Not a big fan of the four TOs, but otherwise will take that production. 3-4 from the line is also nice.

Roberts was 5-8 from the field, 3-3 from the line, 3 boards and 3 assists with just 1 TO in 25 minutes. Why are we hating on the guy again?

I didn't feel any type of way about Biyombo's turnovers since most of them were illegal screens that probably could've been no calls, and being that I didn't see the game I wouldn't know how to take it

As far as Brian Roberts, I'm still not a fan of him being Kemba's primary backup. I would've preferred Mo Williams or Jameer Nelson for the same price, both of whom are currently playing at high levels (although just preseason) for Minnesota & Dallas respectively. I guess it's difficult to judge Roberts' performance fairly when he's had to play alongside a smallish backcourt mate whether it's been Gary Neal or Jannero Pargo on most occasions so far, but he hasn't kept the ship idle when Kemba has been on the bench outside of last night's sudden occurrence. I'll be patient with him for now. I don't think Roberts is a bad player, but I view him moreso as a 3rd string PG on a good team, and I want for us to be a good team

[yosemiteben]

I think it makes sense to wait until we see what Roberts can do with a healthy second line. Guessing it's a lot easier to look passable running alongside Lance, Hendo, Zeller and Biz than Pargo, Neal, Zeller and Maxiell.

Agreed. Biz is offensively challenged but his shooting form look decent and he has a little mechanical jump hook. But the matter at hand is that Biz can be serviceable as a elite rim protector that crash the boards on both ends and set good screens on offense. God forbid but if Big Al went down for like a month I would have faith in Biz as the starting C to keep us at at least .500 ball.

[TheKingofSting]

Any progress from Biz is encouraging.
