Holy hell. I spent the entire first half watching Mo Bamba and the Magic. Dudes having a stupid good shooting game from 3. Sign me up. He’s shown me enough.

I’m so happy for Biyombo kept himself ready like a true pro and continues to contribute when required.

Chris Paul may earn him one more final paycheck.

Checked his stat line for last night and he had 5 assists...my god, did he ever do that for us?

Also lol at McGee pulling 12 boards in 18 minutes.

The 21 points is more than at any point in either of his Charlotte tenures, and ties a career high he set in ORL. The 5 assists are something he's done on a few occasions including last season. I don't think he's really been a bad passer in a few years. Some of the passes he made yesterday were VERY surprising though.

he does that pass where he goes towards the ring then passes out to the corners which he started with us, but the real difference is Chris Paul. He sets up Biz perfectly, so those passes are simple with plenty of room, otherwise he dunks/lays it up.

Current ASG Vote standings have Melo at 5th among guards in the East and Miles at 9th among Frontcourt

Guards

1. DeRozan (4.1mil)
------------------------
2. T. Young (2.1mil)
3. Lavine (2mil)
4. Harden (1.9mil)
------------------------
5. Melo (960k)

Frontcourt

1. Durant (5.5mil)
2. Giannis (5.1mil)
-------------------------
3. Embiid (3.3mil)
-------------------------
4. Tatum (1.6mil)
5. Butler (1.4mil)
-------------------------
6. J. Allen (507k)
7. Siakam (424k)
8. Adebayo (418k)
9. Miles (330k)

Looks to me like the frontcourt is locked with Durant, Giannis, Embiid and DeRozan the only guard locked as well. Obviously guys like Durant, Lavine, etc are facing injury and/or might not show up so it will bump other guys up, but it would appear Melo is currently sitting around 50/50 making it in and Miles is probably on the outside looking in. He's got a bunch of more established dudes in his way and Melo also making it would probably do more to hurt Miles' chances than help.

My brother took his boys to the Orlando Magic game yesterday during which his 8 year old looks up at him and says, “Jalen Suggs Deez Nuts.”

what are they feeding Biz out in Pheonix right now.

Goodecharlotte · Post #1093 » by **Goodecharlotte** » Tue Jan 25, 2022 2:45 pm

With Biz playing better and being semi decent maybe we can pinch Jalen Smith off them. Any thoughts?

What happens when you play with a true floor general like Chris Paul. Dude orchestrates the offense masterfully. Tells everyone exactly where to be every possession. Dudes kind of an **** but he's wonderful to watch.

Ain't it wild what veteran leadership can do for a team?

Imagine if these young kids in Charlotte had a guy like that. Late career Rasheed Wallace would be incredible here

remember when CP3s trade value was down there with Nic Batum's lol

That's exactly why I loved the Tony Parker signing at the time, a vet who still had a bit

yep, and Biz aint dumb he just not super talented, he's gelled with CP quickly.
if you watch the highlights, none of Biz's play is difficult, they're all simple plays

thats why I wanted Zach Randolph at the end of his career when Memphis stopped playing him. He could have angered up Zeller a little.

Zeller out over 2 months with knee surgery.
