The Bobs look to make it 4 straight wins tonight at TWC Arena when they face the current 8th seeded Toronto Raptors. The Raptors are led by all star big man Chris Bosh, Jarrett Jack, and the "Italian stallion" Andrea Bargnani. They currently are on a 3 game losing streak including a tough loss to Miami last night. We lost our last game against Toronto on the road, but blew them out big time at home in an earlier matchup. Tonight we need to continue to control the paint as well as contest shots. We're coming off a huge win at home on Friday night and have had a couple days of rest, so I expect us to look fresh and bring alot of intensity. A victory tonight would give us even more breathing room away from that dreaded 8th spot (who will face the King in Rd 1) and brings us closer to our magic number into the playoffs. GO BOBCATS!!!

I know people are making a big deal about Diaw on Bosh, but what about Tyrus Thomas? I think he could do a good job vs. Bosh.

Thats the second matchup and it should be interesting. I suspect TT to be a bit more solid here than Diaw though so it isn't as exciting to think about.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
