i guess kemba playing 40 minutes a game is the norm until dj comes back. for arguments sake, lets say dj doesnt come back. are we really prepared to run a rookie into the ground because of nepotism?

Higgins isn't that bad though. Sure, he's no true point, but we suck.

speaking of nepotism, I think we should seriously consider giving Dell Curry an offer as HC for 2013

as a shooting guard, he might be worthy as a 15th man, someone to sit on the bench, wear suits and practice hard. as a point guard he is way way way out of his league. on any other team in the league that only had 2 true pgs and one was a rookie and the other breaks bones in his foot, higgins would have been waived to make room for a 3rd true pg. so one or more of the 3 statements is true

1) he is still on the team because of nepotism
2) he is still on the team because we are too cheap to pay for another
3) he is still on the team because he gives us a great shot of losing

Lineup going forward should be:

Walker - Williams - Brown - Diaw - Biz (Mullens can provide offense off the bench)

Let's hope some team wants Tyrus Thomas. No reason he should be starting right now. In the past five games, he's shooting .304. Know what UPS is shooting? .634. That's more than double Tyrus' percentage.

That's ridiculous in every sense of the word.

When Henderson comes back, move Brown to PF and put Diaw as the Super Sixth Man.

If Ricky Rubio played for the Bobcats, he would be Steve Nash.

I'm rather confused how a rookie who is averaging 11 points 9 assist and nearly 5 rebounds a game could be the most overrated player in recent memory, but alrighty!

Sure he cant shoot right now, but that will come with time.

Several dunks and a few layup but he also hit some tough jumpers, he was really impressive!

yeah, at first it was all put backs, layups, dunks, nothing outside of 2 feet. but the last 3 were contested jumpers and the last one was a bomb from the corner with a player in his face.

stun, forget all the crap on the general board, the pissing match between the irving fans and rubio fans. both sets are fighting hard for their guy and making them both overrated in terms of realgm. however, you cannot discount the impact rubio has as a defender. he is already one of the top defensive pgs in the league. that counts for a lot.

Brown is a PF, this is the position he should play from now on. He can't handle the rock well enough to be a SF and he looks (Please Use More Appropriate Word) when he tries to iso his man and take him one on one.
