Around the NBA 8.0

[BigSlam]

We had zero drop off defensively or on the boards this season compared to last season despite not having Biz or MKG. We have had a bottom 5 offense for the last five years, but that jumped up higher this season than it has in a long time largely because we assembled a bunch of high BBIQ guys with diverse skillsets.

I still think letting Biz go was a perfectly defensible move and I don't want him back.

love you man, but u better hold on your opinions about Beastmack tonight.... man, he is so on!!!!! hahha

Didn't look so on then!!

Fumbled the outlet with no one around him (those hands!!) then flubbed some sort of weird bounce pass to Lowry in the paint.

Liability on offence.

The Raptors have no killer instinct, unlike the dinosaurs.

did wade use his head to touch Joseph's hand?

Iso Joe would have been a nice luxury for us to have in the playoffs

Speaking of offensive liabilities. Still glad we didn't draft Winslow.

love seeing Biz having these moments. Just awesome for him

I want to disagree but he definitely woulda been better than hobbled Batum and L-bow Marv.

We are not a good defensive rebounding team...It is like a player with good stats but people know he is not that good a player.

We had literally the best DRB% ever. That's like taking someone like Steph and being like "ignore the stats, he's not a good shooter."

Biyombo sucks.

[BatumtheGlue]

Good, keep bitching and whining Dray.

Best rebounding team in NBA history. We just dropped the ball against Miami.

Pshhhhhhh. Hes no Spencer Hawes and doesn't have nearly as much upside.

[HornetJail]

Biyombo sucks.

no u

That was a spectacular sequence. Bismack is definitely a starting caliber center in this league, if the said starting five has enough offensive power and fit to compensate for Bismack. It's just mind boggling that a guy like him has only made $2.8 million this year.

[Eoghan]

No, Biyombo is a scrub, he bobbled that one pass.

Pssssh, Biz doesn't run the floor like a gazelle with short arms, he's more like a water buffalo with hooves for hands.

[Braggins]

Yep, and he just doesn't play with the consistent energy and intensity of guys like Albus Jefferson and Spencer Hawes and he doesn't make his teammates better like Jason Maxiell does.

[catch20two]

Would you believe #energy was the reason that Biz was benched and received DNP-CDs while two fat overweight bigs in Albus and Maxiell played in front of him? Looks like to me all Biz play with is #energy.

In the regular season, yet one size mismatch in the playoffs derailed everything because we don't have a single big who is a good individual rebounder or who has any kind of size to battle down low. Just having someone like Biz on our roster probably could have gotten us to the ECF this season.

Bismack is the kind of guy a top 5 GM lets walk to competitor for peanuts. Charlotte is better off without such a limited offensive player. Our defensive and rebounding numbers don't lie.
