Lol. Since when did Sacre become better than Biz?!? He's every bit as offensively challenged minus the elite rim protection.

There is no one in this league as offensively challenged as Biyombo right now, and hes going into his 4th season.

Sacre is but your Biz hate-dar might not allow you to see it.

I don't "hate" Biyombo at all. I guess our mods Sachmo and Fats hate Biyombo as well since they saw, and commented on the same things I did last night. His 4th year in the league, fumbled a couple passes, got a horrible looking hook shot with no touch swatted to Argentina, and in general just struggled. I hope he picks it up and proves me wrong, but I've been saying that for over a year now.

All I'm defending is the nonsense you spewed about Sacre being a upgrade to Biz. Lol. A lot people were disappointed in Biz last night but it was a little overblown. What y'all expect for him to be Andre Drummond now? Biz is always gonna be a offensively challenged but good defensive player like Ben Wallace. That was his comp coming into the league. Nobody ever put the ball in Ben Wallace's hands and expected something good out of it.

Sach and Fats are totes h8ers though.

I do think it's kind of funny that I wanted to draft Noel and lots of people were like "We've already got Biz" and even I was like "So?"

Biz is closer to Ben Wallace than Cody is to Lamarcus Aldridge. Lmao

Relax. Biyombo still has another 4 years to develop.

Royce White was once a very talented prospect.

But you cannot draft a guy that is afraid of flying with a panic disorder. I have panic attacks to the point of passing out. I was hoping White would have a good career and be a spokesman for people with anxiety like myself. Instead he made us look like a bunch of idiots.

I don't think everyone looks at everyone with the disorder like White, at least I would hope not.

I would hope that they don't. On the other hand it was like a hemophiliac wanting to become a surgeon. It isn't crazy to have an issue it kind of is to ignore its effect on your future life. I wanted him to overcome too but I doubted it would happen.

I've only attended two games my entire life. Not because I cant afford it or im far away, because that definitely isn't the case. My first ever game I attended was against the Bucks in Jason Richardsons first game. I sat near the top and had a panic attack during the national anthem. Woke up 20 seconds later and people were asking my then girlf friend why was I laying down and disrespecting our country.

There were about 700 people in the arena that night. Terrible crowd.

Edit: My second game was last year against the Grizzlies when Kemba scored 31 and I had amazing seats 10 rows up. I got hammered before the game and nearly got kicked out for walking onto the court trying to find my seat.

It is one thing to do that and another to try to make it your job. Knowing you limitations and accepting them to some extent is part of life. Trying to overcome sometimes is different then choosing a career path that involves something you have not yet overcome.
