:banghead: I knew it was too good to be true that we had a steady lineup and began to win some.

here's the quote:


According to The Charlotte Observer, Bobcats coach Bernie Bickerstaff is leaning towards replacing Carroll with Knight, as he is looking for more continuity and experience in the starting lineup. This move should only be a matter of time, so Knight should once again be a hot fantasy commodity once he gets back to full strength. Knight has played the last two games after missing 24 games with an abdominal muscle tear. On the season, Carroll has averaged 13.1 points and 1.8 threes in 31 minutes as a starter and 9.7 points and 1.2 threes in 17 minutes as a reserve.

Just what we need, a small ball lineup. I also suppose that means Raymond is soon to be the 2 guard again :g:

Bernie starting that small backcourt, means that he is now in full fledged Greg Oden / Kevin Durant tank mode. Ping Pong balls full speed ahead.

Theres no way that BK deserves to be in the starting backcourt over Matt Carroll. Adam has had his problems and should be coming off of the bench, but Matt DESERVES to get the start.

The Hammer is a better 6th man than he is a starter (he mas more impact that way) but while he is the best option we have at the 2 it's absurd that he is forced to the bench behind Felts at the 2.

While Hammer is a better 6th man, he's one hell of a better SG than Felts is.

Yes, and Felton is more deserved of the PG than Brevin Mr. "12 3 point shots in the past 7 years" Knight.

Slam, this time around we are in complete agreement.

I think Felton should be the starting PG in a Ray/Matt backcourt, but I could mentally deal with a backcourt of BK & Matt better than I can deal with this BK/Ray backcourt. In the past 2 seasons I've seen enough of having an undersized 2 playing out of his natural position to know that it doesn't work.

A Felton / Matt back court is the way to go. The best thing to do with a ageing B.k. is to do one of two things . Trade him for a first round pick any first rounder if we can get one for him. Or make it known hes comeing off the beanch. Ill Bet YOU AMY THING THIS IS THE LAST YEAR OF A FELTON / B,K backcourt. I still have a feeling B.K. will be gone after the ALL STAR break. Changes are coming . The era of JORDON is just geting ready to start .

Why is it that you think a PG has to hit 3pt shoots to be effective?

Want me to list all the PG's over the past 10 years who have been studs and not had a 3pt shot?

[CaptainCrunch]

noooo, I really wish brevin knight would get hurt for the rest of the year.

Are you trying to tell me B.K. is a better point thaN Felton.
You all so trying to tell me hes a stud to. What drugs are you on or what are you smoking we need to share some of that to. Hell we cant even get a 1st round draft pick for him .
His value is o compared to Felton. Ever time he steps on the court hes a defenceive liability . Quick players drive by him and tall players post him up. Yes he can pass a little but thats it. Hes a big babby on the team and it rubs off him crying about calls. If you have ever been to see a game in person you shuld know this.You have to be doing [something] saying b.k is better at point than FELTON. I bet you cant find two other people in this whole forum that thinks B.K. IS BETTER THAN FELTON And i bet you cant find two people in this forum that want a B.K. Felton back court. Name just one offor this stud of yours has had scence hes been put on the trading block. Hes a good back up at best and needs to do his role and shut his trap up .
You really cant belive B.K. IS A STUD OR EVEN PUT HIM IN THAT CLASS.

I guarantee that all those PG's that had not hit a 3 pt shot had a stud 3 shooter somewhere that scored 20 a game.

Only reason I see the pg needing to hit the 3 is it stretches the floor and allows Crash, Okafor, May, and even allow Ray to drive because opposing teams can't cheat on us.

I recall once we had 2 guards that could hit 3's we had our first winning month....

[spectre]

Knight is just too much of a defensive liability for me. He never sticks to his man and we continually get burnt when that guy is a sick shooter from outside. Add in Primoz then we're stuck with 2 defensive liabilities PLUS we have Felton going up against someone usually 5" taller. Felton also brings the ability to split double teams and he can hit an outside shot; both of which gives Mek & Crash more open looks and room to operate.

We also have more success when we move the ball as a team (notice the uniform assists down the stat lines lately) vs. the PG holding onto it thru most of the shot clock...another plus for Felton.

As I noted in another post, Stephenie Ready (whom I consider a much better basketball mind than BB) thinks Felton's lack of consistent shooting is a direct result of him moving between positions. Why not eliminate that and let the guy show what he can be focusing on when only playing one position?

On top of that...of the two which will be here next year and the year after?
