PS6: vs Mavs Sat Oct 19 7:30PM EST 

Post#1 » by fatlever » Sat Oct 19, 2013 3:20 am

game is being played in Greensboro, NC.

projected starters: kemba, hendo, mkg, mcbob, biz

- would like to see biz continue his double-double streak
- zeller should see more minutes after getting limited playing time in the last game
- still waiting to see kemba show improved playmaking and passing
- still waiting for hendo to make a 3
- mkg has played better the last 2 games, thou the stats maybe dont show it
- can the team continue the stellar defense showed so far

things i wanna see
-Biz defend Dirk, see what he can do against the most skilled PF in the NBA
-MKG take on Ellis some to see if MKG can lock him down or not
-Hendo finally have a good shooting game
-Kemba dominate Calderon
-Zeller have a breakout game shouldn't be to hard, the Mavs interior defense is probably worst than Charlotte's

No point in MKG on Ellis. JT and Hendo both will be all over him as usual. Ellis typically wets the bed against Henderson. I'd much rather see MKG vs Dirk. And it'd be great if we used him as a weakside shotblocker for once too. He's got all the skills for it. (Biz should be able to as well but... MKG vs Dirk should just be awesome to watch)

I doubt Henderson breaks from his passivity though. He's clearly concerned with being ready for the season so he'll probably maintain his current path.

Dallas' interior D is nothing to be laughed at though. Wright is extremely underrated. He should be getting plenty of time tonight as well.

One big thing though... I completely understand the mentality of every Bobcats guard in our team history. There has never been a real reason to seriously consider passing the ball to one of our bigs in a genuine effort to generate offense. I don't hold it against them. That's going to be a hard, hard habit to break. But HOLY CRAP PASS THE BALL INSIDE YOU SCHMUCKS

Id like to actually see our guards do some pick and roll with the bigs. Nauseating to constantly see a wide open Zeller/Biyombo after setting a high screen and them cutting to the paint only for Walker, Henderson, and especially Gordon just to stare at them.

I want to see:

MKG : agressive and hitting down 2 shots
Taylor playing at least 25 min
Biyombo: continuing on his streak.
Zeller in double double.

Dallas has potential to be the worst defensive team of all time. People will put up huge numbers against them this season, along with the Lakers

they wont be the worst defensive team ever no way, the worst defensive team ever was the 1990-1991 Denver Nuggets they gave up a whopping 130.8PPG which is just stupidly bad and they never allowed less than 100

neither side is televising it and its in greensboro so I doubt we'd even be lucky enough to get a feed into the arena board if there is one
