Bash me all you want, but Walker is not our PG of the future. He is best suited as a great sixth man off the bench.

McBob needs to play less. Kemba doesn't have the ball in his hands to run the offense enough.
investigate Adam Silver

lets not add mcbob to the list of excuses for why kemba isnt playing well. kemba has the ball plenty enough. kemba has to play better, regardless of the personnel, coach or offense being run. he is settling for a lot of bad shots and his form has regressed. thats on kemba to fix.

McRoberts is definitely not the reason why Walker has been garbage. At all.

Nope. Im just stating my opinion, which looks pretty good thus far. He can't distribute and can't shoot.

Lillard is so much better than Walker right now it would be stupid for anyone to even try and debate that.

Not saying #0 for Portland isn't better than Kemba, but I was looking at the Blazers board the other day and a lot of their fans are pretty down on #0 at the moment.

Kind of reminds me of lurking on the Pistons board and them being down, or some of them being down on Drummond. As fans I guess we all get down on our players at some point in time.
THat being said the Blazers are 9-2 and Lillards averaging 20 a game, although on poor shooting

Hendo could be really good if he would only shoot when he's squared up. He looked so good on those couple of threes tonight. I hope they show him the film and it sinks in.

Y'all played some real nice defense tonight. Both teams stuggled to get points. We were lucky to come out with that one.

I was thinking about this a few days ago. I am happy to say I never participated in the Lillard debates.
Humble yourself.

X factor: The stripe. The Bulls shot 31 free throws to the Bobcats' 16. Not only that, they drained their attempts at an 84 percent clip while Charlotte was accurate on a paltry eight of their 16 attempts.
That was ... weird. Both squads shot significantly better from behind the arc than inside it. The Bobcats scored 10 more points in the paint -- generally a point of defensive emphasis for the Bulls -- but Chicago attempted 15 more free throws.
The Refs did us no favors (as usual) but we are our own worst enemy from the "Charity" stripe.

The Josh McRoberts-laden offense have to stop. Opposing defenses have figured it out, just sag into the paint and dare McRoberts to shoot 5-10 three pointers a game. It doesn't help spacing. If anything, it make matters worst. It's taking the ball out of the PG's hands and killing the shot clock as the guards play hot potato running back & forth around McRoberts until something opens up

Guys, we suck. We don't have enough weapons on the floor/team to properly win in a meaningful way and we're overachieving as it is. It's not Kemba's fault or McBob's fault or Clifford's fault, it's a lack of talent fault. We need a dynamic scorer (preferably on a rookie contract).

I don't think the Bobcats suck. They just have questionable talent as opposed to any player that's a sure thing. You never know what type of production you're going to get from any of them on a given night. Al Jefferson might be able to give them that consistent figure, but you're correct that they need a dynamic scorer to right this ship

B.D I think this team is a playoff team right now in the east. Remember big Al really hasn't played much and we're still learning to play together. I think Kemba and Sessions are a good PG pair, I dont think they should ever be on the court together, but theyre a good changeup of styles and if Kemba is off a night you know Sessions is gonna get his.
Between Hendo, MKG and Taylor we have athletic guys on the perimeter who can defend and run the floor. And we have nice depth with our bigs, especially with Adrien showing he belongs in the league. My only problem is the coach. I think he's doing a great disservice to this team and MKG with his treatment of him. I think MKG is destined to end up failing in Charlotte because the coach wants to play Taylor over him, so if Taylor is hot MKG wont play much, if MKG is not making a impact or if he's having a off night he wont play much, the only way MKG will get considerable PT is if he's playing great and Taylor isnt and even if MKG starts out hot, we've seen too many times where later in the games, he's frozen out of the offense that he really has no place in. He's kind of set up to not be very succesfull.
The Bobcats have talent though, they maybe one of the top 15 teams in the league right now, and the way we play defense I think we can have aplayoff season this year.
