Is it as painfully obvious to everyone else as it is to me, just how disinterested Boris Diaw plays? As pathetic as it would be, if you DVR'ed the game tonight, go back and watch just Diaw during the game. On offense, he will stand at the top of the key looking to hand off, set a half-screen, and then will stand there and watch the jump shot. He won't crash the boards, nothing. I mean, stuff a high school kid would get benched over.

It's sad that he gets minutes when he could give a rats ass about being on the court. If we're going to lose every game anyway, put a less talented but hungrier player in the game. It's got to frustrate Silas to no end watching Boris' effort.

And in a contract year of all things - total mind fug.

trade Diaw, trade Tyrus Thomas, see if Augustine elicits any sort of attention

Rebuild around Kemba, Bismack, and Hendo (keep Reggie Evans and Byron Mullens for depth)

seriously there is absolutely no point in trying any more this season. Stock pile draft picks and hope for the best

You're not kidding. He's been mailing it in for a while now. From what I saw tonight he was mainly cherry-picking, and when he did chuck up a 3 he was short-arming it and jogging back up the court after he missed. For a team with so many young, promising players it's a shame to see an experienced player so aloof about everything.

This implies that they were trying to begin with. Management knew what they were getting into and the message of "tanking" should have been made loud and clear to fans when Boris Diaw trotted out onto the floor to start the season at center.

It's a shame, because the second D-Wade somehow banked in that contested layup to complete the Bobcats' choke-job in game 2, the momentum, youthful energy, etc. was sucked out of this team.

I really like your plan for Phase 3 of Bobcats de-construction, the question is, will other teams take on anybody from this roster?

Biyombo is really showing the reason he was drafted so high.

He is crazy long and athletic and seems to be taking to what he is being taught..soaking up knowledge like a sponge. Give this kid an offseason, a summer league perhaps, and he should continue his rapid development.

If we don't trade DJ now I'm afraid he will just walk for nothing at the end of the season.

He is a restricted FA, so the option to match any contract is there. I think he is definitely available for the right price, but I dont know how many teams would be willing to overpay a bit to sign him away.

Agree with what others have said about Biyombo. He has already shown so much more potential than a lot of rookie big men (ol' Alexi Ajinca comes to mind) and every around him has good things to say about his work ethic.

I want to go see a game at some point this year just to see all the young guys. I was thinking about the Minnesota game, a chance to see Rubio, Love and the rest of their surprisingly fun team and the tickets should still be cheap

Comparing any big man to Alexi "The French Pastry" Ajinca is an insult to all other big men. That guys had no business being drafted at all...neverless the 1st round.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
