I agree with everything QC Thundercats said, but I still feel like this team would be well served to have more consistent line-ups to develop a rhythm and get used to playing with one another. As it stands now we're all over the place in that regard and I just can't see how that's helping.
Also the 3-4 guards and a big line-up he likes to throw out there... We give up way to much on defense for this to work. I get that he's experimenting but this is one IMO he should realize by now is killing us.

I like who we have and how our players are developing.
When we were winning, everyone wanted us lose for drafting purposes. Now we're losing and everyone wants us to win
QC with yet another stellar post. We should have a Poster of the Year award, and he already has my vote in the bag.
The bottom line for us along with knowing that our guys are being developed. Simple as that really.Quote:

Us fans, though, boy do we know everything there is to know about the mechanics of the team's rotations
You are right but you have to admit we've had at least 2 (and I'd argue 3) "coaches" where one could probably make a case!Quote:

I love Biz. He's come so far, but he's still very young and filling out physically. When he finally grows up, fills out and matches his body more fully to the motor skills of the game; he's going to be great.
Otherwise, our frontline is really pretty bad. The other 3 guys aren't exactly great athletes and get burned in so many ways during games by much more gifted players. I think we're missing TT quite a bit. He was a big spark before the injury.
MKG is just a kid and has a long wonderful career to look forward to. This year is about development for him; both physically and intellectually. It would be crazy to play him like a veteran so soon. He's like a thoroughbred still growing into its legs. MKG still has that young gangliness that time will refine. You can see it often in his rookie recklessness. There's no rush.
The guards are playing great; but their mostly small. It's tough to beat good teams on the sole will and talent of Kemba Walker and Ramon Sessions.
We'll need to wait a bit longer yet - for Biz and MKG to grow; and for more athletic bigs to arrive.

When I see Kemba, Biyombo, MKG, Hendo, JT and Mullens, I feel like we have a solid core of youth and good players upon which to continue to build. Play good competitive games, and be there at the end. If you lose, it just gives us another Top 5 pick. And with any luck, we get a young borderline superstar to add to what we already have. And that will put us in a position to be competing in the playoffs for many years to come.
I am very pleased with what I am seeing in the Bobcats so far.
