Building a team

[dnbman]

I know it's one night, but with a group that hasn't played together a whole lot, we had 27 assists on 39 field goals.

In the last ten games, we're 5th in the NBA in assists per game and third in assists per game differential from opponent.

Again, pretty good for a group of guys who haven't been together for half a season yet.

Yeah, it definitely is very great. These guys gel with each other so well it's amazing! Especially Vlad tonight...Vlad looked like he's played here the whole season! I was shocked and am still very pleased over tonight's win.

Absolutely, and also in the games since the Diop trade things have only gotten better... Cartier has done a lot to fill gaps, he doesn't play the same particular style as Dudley, but that's the hole he seems destined to fill the "we need someone to go out, play and just make the best of whatever is out there" Vlad is totally raw, I can't wait to see how his play develops under larry...Larry just squeezes the best out of the players like a damp sponge.

martin is a better player then dudley

[WarioVsMooChicken]

I agree so far. Martin looks like a promising 1st round pick.

I agree so far. Martin looks like a promising 1st round pick. Actually, that's a damn accurate assessment of Martin! I hadn't ever thought of him that way, but you're totally right. +1 for thinking outside the box, Wario!

Dudley? Who's that? LOL Martin could turn out better than Ajinca

[TattoodCats4life]

I agree so far. Martin looks like a promising 1st round pick.

100%, and without the higher salary, long contract, qualifying offers and all that garbage that go along with it... We could offer him something like 1.5, 2,2.5 mil with the 3rd year being a team option (of course doing this over the summer to retain him) and I'm sure he'd sign, sure as hell beats the 30k (about $15 an hour based on 40 hours a week) they pay the d-leaguer's...

Better and inproved ,much more athletic than Dudley. With the same hustle and drive . Somthing to prove

Vald has a nice touch somthing Morrison wasn't producing. All so this guy can play either the three or the four . He much bigger in person . Hes as big as Diaw , if LB can get him to start hiting the boards harder and man up a little better. This guy could become a very good player..


As far as Alexas hes in Browns hip pocket til next year the kid can play . Just wait til next year.

It is very, very encouraging, that's for sure. The little things this team is doing on both sides of the ball is quite a pleasure to watch. Larry Brown has to get most of the credit as he is acquiring "his type" of players and teaching everyone more about the game of basketball than I have ever seen before. I can clearly say that I have seen more improvement and growth out of this years Bobcat's team than any team in quite a while.

Now, let's just get healthy and make that playoff run:)

I would say the only thing we lack right now is a back up SG. They have Martin listed as a PF, But I think he could play SG and learn from Raja. This team has almost totally revamped the roster and LB has lead to a great improvment.

[teej]

I think we will get a SG for May before the break if nothing else

Yeah I really, really think May is going to be gone soon..

The video about last nights game.
Go to the 2:50 markish.
LB actual says that Rod and Michael did a great job of revamping the team.
So LB builds us a team and then is modest enough to make two guys who have made questionable moves in the past look great. Is there anything LB cant do for this organization?

LB Rebuilding Checklist for Charlotte
Draft AMAZING pg -check
Teach horrible defensive team great D - check
Make moves that bring in great unused talent - triple check
Make GM and VP look good after prior questionable moves - check
Playoffs? -to be determined

[WAM9]

Yeah I really, really think May is going to be gone soon..

I don't know...I think, in the days coming down to the deadline, he will end up being worth more to us than anyone is willing to give up. No deal will be done unless he is filler in a larger trade. Larry Brown is well respected in the league and if he won't play him, there certainly must be a reason. He is improving though...He looked fine in his 3 minutes last night:)

This is for sure the best our offense has ever looked. In years past we have constantly tried to play one on one and prove guys could create there own shot. Now we have guys who are looking to set up team mates and move the ball around. We could already make plays on d now we rotate well to. We could be a scary team in the second half if we stay healthy.

If Larry didn't like May he would be gone already. It took Amare a year and a half through two years to look like himself again. Same goes for K-mart who had both knees done but has come all the way back.

As far as a backup two we just use Ray and there is no problem getting ray and DJ minutes.
