Bonnell confirms

Thank you but I hope this doesn't mean more Matt Carroll. I'd rather see Cory Higgins, and even that is unwarranted

[Jaruff]

Hopefully Matt Carroll is the starter tonight just for the lulz factor.

[Marvel]

Hell no UPS is starting.

[JMAC3]

I hope we see a rotation like this for the next 2-4 weeks....

Start UPS at the SF to take over Mags starting spot. Then whenever he starts to play bad or needs a breather we go extra small with DJ Kemba and Hendo in the back court. We will need to play a bigger front court to compensate though. Tyrus and Biz will be the best front court to go with.

I would expect to see a lot of TT, Boris and Hendo at the three along with UPS. Hopefully no Matt Carroll. DJ White is not quick enough to guard opposing three men.

[Bassman]

Might as well start UPS...Carroll amounts to practically nothing off the bench, so why give him more minutes to barf?

AS someone noted in another thread, this is why we should have kept Cunningham. Dante was one of the better assets we got from trading Crash, and it was stupid to let him walk for a reasonable contract. Mags does and will continue to get hurt, and he's a bad player to boot. UPS is not very good, but he's all we've got. TANK TANK TANK.....

Yeah I would love to see TT get minutes guarding SFs.

TT may start tonight at SF

the Matt Carroll hate makes me mad. Every time i see JMAC3's sig i am fuming.

I know man. Carroll just comes in and does his job. He gets hated on for the same reason Diop does; money. Dudes know how to ball though if given the opportunity.

[Fred Williamson]

Dudes know how to ball though if given the opportunity.

uhm, no. He's a shooter who can't shoot.

Well actually no.


Carroll's job (more like one redeeming quality) is his ability to hit shots. The problem is that this year he's shooting 35.3% from the floor and is 0 for 7 from range. Hell, he's only even shooting 33.3% (1-3) from the FT line!

[Battery]

And so it begins....


Let's get this party started!

[Marvel]

It's that release of his. I mean who releases on the way up?

Can we just not play him at all though. He is not in our future plans, i would like to see Kemba get all of those minutes at SG.

[BobsBuddy]

Don't ever like to see a player get hurt,but the next 30 Days should help the Bobcats decide if the decision to keep UPS over Cunningham was correct. Everybody wants UPS to be successful and he openly has said this is the team he wants to be playing for and NOW is the time to prove it. Its "Rim Rattling Time" so that we see postings that GW has come back TWC Arena reincarned in UPS Body. Then Blocked Shots,rebounds and Steals on the defensive in. It would also be nice to see a couple of 3's.
If you are going to be a TOP GUN its time for a NEED for SPEED.
Also don't give up on playing this Higgins kid. He isn't on this team cause of his Daddy. He's the leading scorer in Buffalo history. Put him in at the 2, rotate Hendo through the 3 and lets RUN the Hawks ass right out of TWC. And lets not get down on Matt Carroll,he still can shoot 3s.
I'm going to be at the game tonight and would like to see the following 1st and 2nd teams together on the floor for some minutes to see if I'm right or wrong
DJ Kemba
Hendo Higgins
UPS Diaw
DJW TT
BM BB

PS Tell WHOSE spinnin the Disc to put on some Kenny Loggins

I blame the lockout. Who knows how many late nights he spent sucking off Derek Fisher and Billy Hunter.

Times like this is why I wish we still had Larry Brown. Kemba would be sitting on the bench and we'd be playing Ronald Murray and Larry Hughes. You know why? Larry Brown doesn't play white people.

The lulz factor would be through the roof. Kemba will get his when he's ready; this year, it's about bringing the lulz to forget the 50+ losses we'll probably rack up.

you know Matt has played 58 minutes all season long right? Kinda hard to get meaningful stats in 58 minutes. His problem is that he cant create his shot, he and kemba cant co-exist.

[SWedd523]

I don't expect him to average 30 points off the bench. I do, however, expect him to hit his outside shots. He's played 6 games and hasn't managed to make one. Sure makes it obvious why he hasn't been getting any minutes.
