Yes but only because Boban is so much fun to watch

It's incredible how fast he fell off the map


One of those special cases where they don't go to work with any commitment after they get a max contract. He'd rather be bass fishing.

I think Roy Hibbert was always terrible he was just a flash in the pan but cause of the verticality rule. Teams eventually found out he was big soft stiff.

Agreed... but he did have two seasons of his Rookie contract where he at least inflated his numbers and played with what one might suggest was more energy.

I agree, he did a horrible job of guarding Kemba in the 4th last night!

Well, at the rim yeah. Walker toasted Jackson but Reggie didn't get any help from behind either.

A good win, but a nasty finish to the game. Boban played great and impacted the game. We're 2-1 against Charlotte this season which is a plus.

This team has been frustrating and disappointing, but I wouldn't be surprised if they bounce back in the coming weeks. The 5 game west trip will be tough, but POR, SAC and LAL are winnable games.

After that though, the schedule really opens up. They play 17 games until March 1 after the road trip, of which 12 are at home. None of the road games are against western conference teams. If this team is going to turn it around, we'll be able to see it before the trade deadline. If not, there's plenty of time to make a move.
