I hope it is okay that I made this, I didn't see one yet. I know last year we had a GT sign up sheet.

Good stuff, our GT's have been pretty ordinary this year to match the effort of the LolCats, so we haven't had a need for a sign up sheet.

if anyone ever wants to make an elaborate GT, just let one of us mods know and we'll hold off on making a thread.

as for the game, probably our best chance to win in recent memory. too bad hendo isnt back. i love the head to head matchups vs derozan.

i think biz will be happy not to have to guard pekovic tonight. that guy was a beast, probably the strongest guy in the league right now, with solid skills to match.

speaking of which, what has happened to biz's blocks? his blocks have gone way down recently. he is only averaging 1 block per game in his 6 starts. i would have thought he could accidentally get 2 blocks a game just by being on the court for more than 10 minutes. he hasnt had more than 2 blocks in a game since jan 25th vs the wiz, 10 games ago, when he had 4.

1) are teams more aware of biz and consciously avoiding him? i know i see guards throwing up some high arching shots around him now and less are driving the paint.
2) is biz concentrating more on staying down and playing better positional defense? i have seen this a few times when he is 1 v 1 in the post and he doesnt seem to be leaving his man as often to chase the help side block, staying home to box out.
3) just a random statistical coincidence that will eventually right itself out?

other random biz observations... he is doing much better than i anticipated at staying out of major foul trouble. he hasnt fouled out of a game this year and only hit 5 fouls 3 times. he played 28 mins vs the sixers w/out a single foul.

From his twitter Dj is starting.

Head Coach Paul Silas said that #DJAugustin will return to the @bobcats starting lineup versus Toronto, @KembaWalker will come off bench.


In regards to BB's blocking numbers I think it could be an effort to reduce fouls and play better positional defense.

I think its a good thing, he will always have that shot blocking lets develop his other defensive skills
