Tell me about it, but the best thing we could have done in that draft is take Lillard and trade Kemba

I can't wait to see Jason Maxiell & Marvin Williams matched up against Omer Asik & Anthony Davis down the stretch of the game

U guys would still find a reason to hate on Anthony Davis either way as long as the team still sucked

I actually was disappointed in the fact that Boston outscored us 33-25 in the 4th quarter of last game

Let's just keep blaming Maxiell though.

It is not his fault but man is he terrible. 16 minutes he manages 2 rebounds, 1 block, 1 turnover and 4 fouls. He is to slow to defend 4s and to small to defend 5s. We just need someone better at that spot and you would think that would not be to hard to find.

We should be dangling Gary Neal's Reputation as a trade chip for anything at all at the center position.

I'd blame Cho for keeping him and Clifford for playing him as much as he do before I'd blame Maxiell. It's not Maxiell's fault

I agree here. It is not his fault he can't play anymore. It never looks like lack of effort on his part. He tries he just does not have anything left in the tank.

I'm with you guys, it's Cho and Cliff's fault that Al's hurt and our second string center can't stay on the court.

The dude did not play a single minute in a non-blowout (and even then only in the fourth quarter) in the month of December until Al went down. After that, we needed him to play.

I continue to find it amusing that we are blaming the FO and coach for the production of our third string center.

I am not blaming them that our third string center has to play but more so that we should have a better third string center. With Al as big as he is and the injury he had late last year you have to consider a chance he goes down. They likely hoped that Noah would be more ready to play than he is as well. It is not a huge deal that Max is on the team but he is terrible and I do not think it would have been too hard to do better.

Biyombo hasn't even went over 3 fouls in the 4 games in which he has started in Jefferson's place. In fact, he's only been averaging 2.7 fouls per game, which is far from foul trouble. The only thing keeping him off the floor is the irrational idea that Clifford think Maxiell give us a better chance to win

All of your apologist theories are weak and a majority of the time false

Fact: if Biz could score at all he would stay on the court and this would be a moot point.

Fact: Biyombo average more points than Maxiell

Fact: Biyombo average more points than Maxiell per 36 minutes, which means that he score at a higher rate

Fact: Biyombo's FG% is .565 to Maxiell's .397

Fact: Biyombo rebounds at essentially double the rate of Maxiell with 12.8 rebounds per 36 minutes to Maxiell's 6.5

Fact: Biyombo and Maxiell both commit just under 2 fouls per game, 1.8 & 1.5 respectively

So it make more sense to play the guy that score less, rebounds less and can't defend the position in 4th quarters? Cliff logic, huh?
