Hey here is some fun fact...of all the big mens on our team hawes had the most with 9 rebounds.......Cody had 2 and frank had 5......quality big mens indeed....this team is going nowhere unless they get a legitimate center that can actually jump and actually be pshysical in the post on offense and defense.

don't know what you have against psycho T?? Youve been bashing him for almost 4 pages, every reply to my post has been a bash against him lol. Compared to the other bigs on our team, he hustles the most, plays the most aggressively. He is better at scoring under the rim than hawes, by far, not even a competition. The only thing he sux at is his 3 point shooting. Forgetting the rest of that stuff, he hustles hard and plays hard D for a big almost all the time, even if it leads to foul trouble and ejections. Sometimes you need guys like that.[/

Lol, what are you seeing man?? Don't let Tyler being a UNC hero cloud your judgement here. Tyler is awful, I wouldn't call him an intimidator either he's a fake tough guy, go look at his scrap with Metta World Peace were he bucks up when he has his back turned acting hard then turns sees who it is and pissed his pants. He can't rebound well, he can't score, he can't defend he probably averages 6 fouls per half. The fact you have been advocating for him to guard Middleton as well makes me think you have no idea of his skill set. I have never seen Hansbrough guard a wing player in my life, and you expect him to be a stopper on Khris Middleton who's ungodly hot, lol come on man he would have 10 points and have drawn 4 fouls in like 5 min. Cliff can't do anything about the front office being so (Please Use More Appropriate Word) and not retaining biz, we need to get a rim protector, not put in Hansbrough in hope that he can push someone and mean mug as he plays 15 straight minutes of horrible basketball.

I dont know why some guys keeping UNC or whatever. I don't know or care about his UNC history. Hes not a "fake" tough guy, he plays physical whenever hes on the floor. Youtube psychoT fights, and you will see he has picked his share of fights with guys like festus ezeli and even tristan thompson. And yeah I did see that clip with MWP...unless hes provoked why should psycho T fight against a crazy mofo like artest? That dude is just not right in the head. Ive seen one clip where his defensive tactics include pulling down paul pierces shorts to slow him down. Lets not forget Ron Artest famous "malice at the palace", only dude in NBA history to go up and fight it out with fans lol. NOBODY in the nba is NOT afraid of crazy ron artest...

He can't rebound well or defend well?? Hes a great rebounder, his physicallity actually prevents alot of offensive rebounds from being given away. He can't score well, that is true but thats what happens when hes not given minutes and gets rusty. His biggest weakness is he gets over emotional at times...he needs to be able to play physical but also control himself at the same time. And yeah, how is khris middleton going to score, when a 6'10, 250lb guy is right in your face and bodying the crap out of you? PsychoT might get fouled out, but then who CARES?? His purpose is to disrupt the other teams hot shooting in the PAINT and to provide a spark on the defensive and rebounding side of things. The raptors game, the announcers even were talking about tyler hansborough, about how he is the "energy guy" you bring in when things are going bad.

YES, hornets need a decent rim protector, but unfortunately at the moment we don't have one and we have to use what we have. Psycho T may not be the greatest, but he is pretty decent and definitely gets the job done.

The most rebounds he's ever averaged in a season in the NBA is 5.2, as an offensive rebounder he is very good like you said; but as a defensive rebounder he's well below avg so it brings him to being a average to below avg NBA rebounder IMO. Defensively he sucks man the fact you think he can stay in front of Middleton for any period of time is a joke, without fouling Middleton would drive right around or dance and get a little space for an open look with ease. Hansbrough would never be right in his face bodying him lol its not 1995 there's no handchecking allowed and it's not like Middleton is going to try to post up Hansbrough like he was Lin come on bro lol. Hansbrough defensive rating this year is 106.9, which is rivaling PJ as worst on the team so it doesn't seem like at least so far when Hansbrough came in he was able to make any difference defensively. Hansbrough hasn't been a trusted rotation player since he left Indiana 3 years ago, he wouldn't even play come playoff time and only did last year because of an injury to Amir Johnson and even then played like 12 min per game. We need to get off our **** hands and deal for a defensive big not just act like we are burying one when everyone knows that Hansbrough is just **** Maxiell in a white man's body.
