So I guess it will be BG to start and the Turtle getting a little extra burn?

Wish it was JT instead though...

Hope he's alright; kind of interested to see what BG can do with a few more minutes he hasn't forced the issue but at the same time he might be the only player on the roster that I don't mind seeing put up a few more shots.

I bet MKG will have a couple of breakout games now

For some reason I look at this and think good news. Get well soon Hendo

of all the injuries it could have been, this is the one I'm the least worried about

Ditto, I hope Gerald gets healthy ahead of schedule though Kemba, BG, MKG, Mully, Haywood is a good lineup for MKG.

This was my first thought. With either BG or Reggie starting the floor will be better spread for him.

Oh, damn... The team need Hendo. Not his offensive game especially, but his defense, leadership qualities... I expect Gordon to have +20 avg, with extended minutes for Sessions (Kemba-Sessions pairing too), and good stats for MKG. I'd like to see Diop activated and play instead of TT.

Biyombo needs a long stint in the D-League to build at least a foundation consistently that can then be built on with NBA time, he can find his game in the D-League and build it in the NBA, but I agree, Thomas needs to sit and Diop activated for sure!!!!!

What would be the point? He is in the rotation here. What is a few more minutes playing against dleague guys going to teach him that playing against nba players won't. It is not like we have a roster of fours who deserve his minutes.

It's not about being taught, it's about him being an automatic starter, getting enough minutes to build a foundation, and then build that foundation through NBA play. As long as he's raw he needs to master EVERY fundamental there is until his offense comes.

Would like #Bobcats to turn last roster spot into a revolving door, hoping to find someone Coach likes. Why not take look at Shelvin Mack?

i definitely agree with this. time to get some free agents in here to see what they can do. we are down to 12 healthy players and that includes carroll, higgins and diop would would be in suits or cut for 29 of the 30 other teams in the league.

Why doesn't Bonnell ask about the final roster spot? Why doesn't he ask flat out if it's being reserved for Scoop Jardine?

Shaun Livingston & Gary Forbes still available.

I don't think the 'Cats need to add another wing player. They already have enough of a hard time splitting minutes between Kemba, Sessions, Hendo (when healthy), BG, MKG, JT, and Reggie Williams without mentioning that Carroll & Higgins are active. They need to add a defensive-minded or post offense oriented big that can rebound more than anything.

...and yes, that final roster spot is reserved for Scoop Jardine. We'll just have to deal with it.
