I love Biz, but let's not get ahead ourselves. Even though his stats against Phoenix were solid, he could have played a better game on defense. Lopez and Gortat used their experience and weight to the fullest to crash the boards and score on Biz. His offense was surprisingly good though.

It was a drag to watch Robin F'in Lopez bury us with 11 pts in 8 minutes, but Biz does need some help. One guy can not defend a P&R on his own. Is tonight the night we'll see someone step up defensive rotations to help him out?

Augustin (toe) is not close to returning from an inflamed big toe, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Spin: He has tiny bone cracks in his right big toe and is in a walking boot, so don't expect him to be available for any of the Bobcats' four upcoming West Coast road games. Kemba Walker will continue to be a great start in his absence.

Updating D.J. Augustin's (toe) status, beat writer Rick Bonnell said Thursday that there is no timetable for his return

I happen to think we have every right to get ahead of ourselves. Yes he could have played much better D against those guys. Yes he has a lot to learn. But we are talking about a 19 yr old kid playing pretty darn good against NBA vets. I am excited as all get out to watch this guy develop his game. I hope he starts the rest of the season.

If it wasn't for him and Kemba I'm not so sure my attention span would be long with this year's team.

As of 5 minutes ago I'm going to this game!! Being a northerner, I'm also a Celtics fan so I can't lose. Anyways hopefully we'll get a competitive game but either can't wait to see Biz and Kemba in person!

lol Garnett wouldnt even think about messing with Bismack who would tear him apart. KG picks on the little guys. I'm sure he'll have plenty to garbage to yell at Kemba. I remember he tried to intimidate DJ a couple years ago and DJ told him to **** off

hell when Nazr got in his face he threw up his hands as fast as he could to signal everyone to come get between them so he wouldnt get his ass beat

Biz seems like a real team oriented guy and an enforcer personality so if KG picks on Kemba i'm sure he'll get in his face.. However if KG starts bullying Higgins I hope nobody gets in the way

We're holding DJ out so Higgins Jr. can keep his job. Everybody's gotta eat.

So what happens if Higgy scores 20 and we win? Bricks will be shat. That's my prediction.

Not like the other ones came true though. I can't even remember the last time we won. :lol:

Matt Carroll and "Shooter Extraordinaire" should never be used in the same sentence without green font again

these 7:30 start times make all the difference in the world when you get home at 7:20 every night. i usually have to spend the first half playing catch up on the dvr. maybe one day the bobcats will move their start times.
