Game 24: Raptors @ Bobcats

Tyrus played enormous again! Huge baskets and the hustle this guy has is off the charts! Gerald showed up in the 4th. Carroll hit two big buckets and had a nice assist to Diaw. Huge win! Only question, Nazr had 18 points in 19 minutes and he sat the whole second half? Larry said defense? Kwame may hustle on defense but his defensive intelligence is lacking and he's slower down the court than Nazr.

Boris Diaw over Tyrus Thomas

Matt Carroll over Gerald Henderson

Kwame Brown over Derick Brown

I must know nothing about basketball.

Dominic friggin McGuire over UPS - that's just stupid, McGuire has no offensive game. Every time he's in there, I see him throw a lazy, telegraphed pass that gets picked off and turns into a fast break/clear path foul.

Diaw and Jax - they just need to gtfo. I just don't think this team can excel with those guys. They bog down the offense like molasses. We would take a hit to the offensive production without them (depending on who would replace them), but it would be worth it for the whole team, IMO.

Side note - DeRozan's dunk was absolutely sick.

Missed the game due to work, but I tried to watch various highlight compilations. Looked like, from what I saw and read, that the effort was good tonight. But i remember after everyone got pissed last week, we came out and beat the nuggets and then got slammed against boston, so imma not hold my breath.

The reason Kwame got 3 ORebs is because he missed layups. They were his own rebounds.

I just don't understand what Larry sees in players sometimes.

McGuire shouldn't play over Derrick Brown

Kwame shouldn't play as much as he does

and

Matt Carrol needs more PT.

And for some reason Henderson isn't "ready."

    • After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA 
    • But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.  
    • It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
