Biz looks huge. Matt needs to learn how to ask questions into a mic.

seriously. i've had problems with matt rochinski for years. get someone who actually knows what they're doing to interview these players. i get that he's a good guy, team player, big bobcats fan. but he does EVERYTHING wrong as a media video guy. comically bad at holding the mic, (not exaggerating) 90% of his questions are the thoughtless "talk about..." kind of crap that produces endless clichés. i have skipped watching interviews on the website that i would otherwise be very excited to see just because he's giving them. give this man other assignments and get a real pro to do the on-camera stuff, for god's sake.

Agreed - he's painful to watch and the questions are so 'friggin fluffy.

BTW - love Adrien as a player & person. love the new 'do. He's now 6'10"

Sounds about right - he didn't talk specifics, but I think he had Dunlap in mind. He doesn't come off as a bad guy, but does come off as a vet who's been around the block. Reading between the lines, I think he's happy having veteran front court talent. Joked a bit about getting Al to kick out to him from double teams. BTW - yep - time for a new avatar.

other than the awesome live video feed (which would have been perfect if i wasnt at work) surprised at how little info is coming out so far from media day.
