so last week silas talks about how jax is better defender and sf and how hendo is great defender at sg. now he talks about how he cant expect jax to carry defense and offense and how losing wallace is reason our pick and roll defense is so bad. but our defense was fine when wallace was hurt and playing on one leg, often seemingly better when hendo was in the game and jax was at small forward. something tells me our bad defense isnt just related to wallace leaving.

it doesnt help that boris is painfully awful as a help defender.

I'm sure it will help when Tyrus is back. Having a weakside shot blocker who can cover ground as quickly as he can goes a long way to P&R defense.

Disaster predictable with so many new faces and the loss of a key player. It was a very good article and clear insight into the current status and psyche of the Bobcats. If that article doesn't convince you to start folding up the tents on this season, I'm not sure what will.

Read the comments out loud and add the appropriate emotion that they carry. These guys know this season is toast.

^Agreed. I think they're whole psyche is fu*ked, now that MJ's put the rebuild plan in motion.
