It's funny how one players attitude, good or bad, can change the attitude of the entire team. He's got the proverbial "fire in his belly" and he's actually not horrible on offense.

He really is that passing big we've been missing ever since Diaw was bought out. Just goes to show how glaring a hole that was if McBob can make that much of an impact.

he is the 1st two way big we have had since diaw cared. while he isnt a great defender, he is smart and he knows where to be and what to do, which is half the battle.

he is perfect guy to have as your backup pf and 3rd or 4th big.

For the record I was going to ask whether he is going to start a thread about McRoberts but kept reading and realized he already did (albeit not ob GB - yet?) and I am reading a post from a merged thread :D You are geting predictible Leo, that's your one glaring mistake :D

I love me some McBobcat hopefully we can resign him. He does a little too much chirping at the refs during the game but he did have some points vs the Raptors.

Word is born! I knew that Josh had failed to live up to the potential he was said to have coming into Duke back in the day. However I was shocked and amazed at some of the passes I have seen him make the last two games. :o . Unless he gets crazy with his asking price we have got to resign this guy.

Do your thing Cho! I see the page starting the turn. :thumbsup:

As a Magic fan, I'm glad he's doing good for you guys. He was always a fun dude to watch and sometimes his WTF plays would actually connect.

Magic fan here. Before the season started, McBob had stated that he wanted to be a starter. Thus, when he got buried on the bench during our youth movement and behind BBD, there wasn't much minutes for him. We played him much at SF also. Even though many Magic fans trashed on him, I always appreciated his game. He has good handles and can pass very well. Isn't the best on Defense, but occasionally he gets so fired up that he will bump and grind with the best on defense too. I was sad to see him go, but he didn't have a future here anyways. Hope he sticks with you guys as he could potentially be a 14ppg and 10 or 8rbg guy. He only needs consistency and that comes with more minutes.

I knew trading useless players would eventually work out. I realize its a short span, but wow is actually doing really good. I never thought I would actually say this phrase but, "Josh is free agent priority for this team".

He's done very few stupid things since he came here, which has surprised me. He's proven to be quite a smart player actually.

I don't think McBob will ever be a 14ppg scorer. 8/8/4 with a block and a steal a game looks pretty good for his future. Affects the game in many different ways. Not really tremendous at any one thing, but a very solid all-around game when he's on top of it. I like him as a role player playing 25mpg, but not much more than that. He gives us 25 very nice minutes per game though.

If he'd stop bricking threes and long jumpers, him and Mullens fit together very nicely.

ROFL, we're following the OKC model after all! We have our Collison (mcBob) and our Westbrook (Kemba), our Durant (MKG), our Harden (Henderson), our Sefolosha (Taylor), our Ibaka (Biz), and we even added our own Dirk (Mullens)

Gana should be our Perkins as the humongous guy who should have played 20 per game in the 90s, not now and against the Miami Heat.
