I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times.  If we had a legit big man, imagine the better looks we'd get from three playing the inside out game.  If we had someone in the middle our opponents actually considered a threat, this team would be so dangerous.  But instead we have soft, no defense Zeller, and no hands Biz.

 

But, hats off to Melo, he's must-see TV and he has earned that starting spot.  I guess Borego didn't know what to do so he started all three guards to not make waves.  Sooner or later he'll have to choose the sixth man.

I thought Vernon Carey Jr was NBA ready. We need a rotation of three solid centers like the Bulls three headed monster back with MJ. Nick Richards? Time to throw them in there, especially Carey Jr.

Not Mitch's fault, he gives you bigs and you don't use them.

He's got Riveraitis.

He's playing Melo a bunch now....

Maybe the more logical answer is that the young bigs aren't ready.

Probably and Zeller is playing well.  They have been in close games as well so yeah, no real opportunity atp.

If coach can coach up the two young bigs we good. Keep the chemistry.

Hornets blow out Washington, led by 29 at one point.  Nick Richards got into the game.

Nick Richards got 6 minutes. That's a start.
