Re: "Guys?" The Bismack Biyombo Thread
Are they trying to push up the value of Adrien to try to find a good deal with Gordon - Adrien - Taylor ?
Gordon 13M expiring
Adrien affective & Cheap
Taylor young + potential

Re: "Guys?" The Bismack Biyombo Thread
I honestly think Bismack is just horrible and has been playing terrible. That's why he's not in the rotation -- if he wants PT he needs to beat out a guy like Jeff Adrien and he simply hasn't. Adrien has played amazingly well and we have a much better rookie big and a versatile big like McRoberts. The real question is -- why do you guys think Bismack deserves to play? What do you think he'll become? He hasn't shown signs of anything except hustle and shotblocking

I don't think you've watched too much of Biz this year then. If you said this last year I would be in agreement but Biz has become a good rebounder and he's finally shooting over 50% because he finally learned how to catch the ball in the traffic.

There is no **** way Zeller is playing better than Biz.

Hustle and shotblocking is exactly what this team needs

I'm a Bucks fan, but Bismack is one of my favorite players. I've watched him closely since he came into the league. He's definitely a much improved player from two years ago. He's not an average center yet, but he's not that far away. Certainly, if he played 30 minutes a game, he'd average at least 10 boards and a few blocked shots. If he improves the next two years as he has the last two years, he'll be an above average center. Jefferson is not the future. Jordan has to know that. I think.

Re: "Guys?" The Bismack Biyombo Thread
You can kind of understand what has happened here. Clifford has joined a bad team, installed a real defense and is trying to make this a winning organization. He might as well not care that we picked some African center in the lottery, he's playing whoever can play good basketball. Biz's improvement isn't among his main concerns.
However, this is what bothers me. He reportedly told Biz to forget about things he can't do, but insisted that he rebounds and hustles. Well, didn't Biz kind of do that successfully to start the season? I feel bad for him. He did what the coach told him to and still got benched.

Re: "Guys?" The Bismack Biyombo Thread
I just do not understand why Biz is not at least playing with the 2nd unit. Sessions and JT put up so many shots on that second unit, he literally wouldn't have to do anything except what Clifford asked him to do. This is maddening.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a beat reporter who was about getting answers to these types of questions instead of ramming his opinion and thoughts (not facts) down the throats of those who read his articles and blog?

Bonnell's like the damn producer of an NBA game's TV broadcast. He talks about general things like "cutting down the turnovers" and "crashing the boards" that show up in those "keys to the game" every TV broadcast has. He thinks he's being insightful by giving us trivial facts about the last time we beat Team X on the road as if it was the typical NBA "trivia question of the game" announcers give you.
Either he's not willing to, not used to or doesn't known basketball well enough to write and ask questions about nuances of the game and the way we play.

Re: "Guys?" The Bismack Biyombo Thread
I think coach is more concerned about where the points will come from, since our defense & rebounding have been pretty effective. Since Biz cannot be counted on to generate a post game threat he is outside the team's current approach to the game.
Now, if we had shooters worth a crap, I think you'd see more Biz. In fact, if you start seeing a lot of Biz (not due to injury) I would suggest he is being shopped.
The guy works hard and has improved. Hope he puts some things together so our too-high pick and deal to move up to get him isn't a waste.

I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Biyombo has always overused hashtags. If anything, it's a sign that he's not depressed and remaining true to himself, at least in the Twitterverse
