Great ball movement on that three by Reggie
Need to see more of that
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
Kemba
3 assists in 4 minutes!!
Whats happening here?!??

He is getting comfortable
And the talent around him is getting better

Next year !
“The Brow” and “Biz” as our 5 and 4 men ! I’m getting giddy !!!

It helps that our starting PG is back.
And that Kemba is getting use to the speed of the NBA
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
With the raptors playing small, I would like to see Biz and Thomas playing the 5 and 4
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
DJ White
Is playing tough tonight too

Renaldo Balkman waived by NY for JR Smith
Should we bring him in to help at the 3? I say yes, thoughts?
Hell no.

Well ok then
Just looking for some depth at the 3, thought he could be an option. I will admit that I don’t think I have see the guy play in several years…just a thought.
Williams is a ball of fire.
That’s why I was so happy we signed him.

That was a solid slam.
We need to get the ball down into the lower post more, not that we have a huge presence there….but higher percentage shots at least.

Bismack is affecting the D
Several times the Raptors have driven into the lane and chosen to kick out instead of going up against Biyombo.
Not to mention the times the have tried to shoot...
and Biz has sent it in reverse
by mives36 on Feb 17, 2012 8:08 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
This is solid...thought Bismack would have 5 though with that tipback, maybe I mis-saw that
Good half though!

Bismack doing work tonight!

Biz going crazy.
6 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 blocks. You can barely notice him and he’s doing all this.

Why isn't DJ looking for Biz on those pick and rolls?
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
If we did trade Hendo for a first rounder..
I’m confident Reggie can be a starter, defense deficiencies and all.

I like Maggette's aggressiveness tonight
What's scarier than a bear with chainsaws for arms? Nothing.
He is soooooo much better when he takes it to the rim
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
That's his bread and butter
He’s very good at drawing fouls and hits a good percentage of FT’s. When he’s not doing that, he’s pretty much useless.
What's scarier than a bear with chainsaws for arms? Nothing.
+100000
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
9 rebounds, 6 blocks for Biz.

Wow! Great block and great fast break
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
Well
Kemba looks much more comfortable than I have seen in a while, Biz has blocked everything within reach, Augustin in ballin, Reggie is hitting shots, and Maggs is being aggressive.
What's scarier than a bear with chainsaws for arms? Nothing.
Lets smack em
While they’re down!!!
by mives36 on Feb 17, 2012 8:57 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I think this games shows just how important Augustin is to our team
What's scarier than a bear with chainsaws for arms? Nothing.
I think it shows how hard it is to win when you lose your starting PG
That’s not a knock on walker, he just didn’t have enough time in the offseason to get use to running a NBA team.
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
Silas needs to get Biz back in the game

Does protecting the rim change with Biz in the post. Terrible chuck by Mully too.

Wow. Great pass by Biz
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
Biz is a pretty good passer for a big man.

I've been giddy all 4th quarter...

LET’S GO CATS!
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
Nice defense
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
The guards are holding onto the ball way to much this quarter
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
.? Is that like teretz ?
Lol
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
I was typing...
just as fierce as the Biz putback stuff

Can we put Diaw back on the bench and put Reggie in?
What's scarier than a bear with chainsaws for arms? Nothing.
Why is Maggs yelling at Biz during the timeout?
Biz should slap his face right off his face
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
I'm full circle on my opinion of Maggette since right before his injury.
I was dead wrong about him.
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
What was your original opinion of him?
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
Pure perimeter gunner with no desire for contact in the paint.
In actuality, he’s probably the toughest driver we have on the team. I’m loving it!
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
Yup. Him and Kemba
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
Big shot by Diaw
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
Made 1 of 2
Kemba rebounded the ball and called time out. 30.7 seconds left
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
No fouls to give either way
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
We do our best :p
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
Replay showed he didn't
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
DJ never came down with the ball, and Diawn never quite had control of the ball.
I think the refs mad the right call.
(of course I do)
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
YEAH BABY!
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
haha nice shot Calderon
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
Ummmm what? Didn't we do that a couple games ago?
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
Except one of our guys at least got their hands on the ball.
I think White did it for us.
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
Awwww. Thanks
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
NO MORE PAIN (for one night)!!!
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
Heck yeah
BOBCATS WIN!!!
"It's better that people think you're a fool, then to open you're mouth and remove all doubt."
You could tell how happy Biyombo was to get this one.
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
Yeah. He would have had to publicly temper his enthusiasm about his performance if the Cats lost

One of my favorite stats from the box score:
DeSagana Diop: DNP-CD
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
And
Cory Higgins: DNP-CD was nice to see as well lol
Most definitely.
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
Great win
I’m going eat my own crow for saying awhile back I wasn’t sure if Maggs would help us much but it’s been very refreshing to see someone really try and take the ball to the hoop and finish or get fouled. He’s been great and a much better example to his younger teammates than S. Jackson.
Playing DJ and Kemba together this game was money – both did a great job distributing (Kemba 8 assists what what). But I just loved Biz this game – the 8 points are a bonus but rebounding and playing the defense he did (help D and the 7 blks) was much needed.
My thoughts exactly on Maggette!
I was so wrong about him, and I couldn’t be happier to admit it.
"People are gonna respect the Panthers, and I want what I do as a quarterback to be scary. I want people to be in fear. I want it, and I’m gonna get it."
- Carolina Panthers Franchise Quarterback
we've been playing much better
Once Reggie and Maggs has come back – just really nice to see us break through and hold on in the 4th – you almost figured it’s been so long since we’ve won that I was hoping we’d be able to close it out.
Gerald comes back and we’ll be good to go – it’ll just come down to if our bigs can hold their own on a given night. The offense will certainly run much smoother for the most part with everyone back.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

WE WON!
Kemba looked like a true PG, DJ had a good all around game, rW was lights out, but Bismack showed he can be a force. Pair him with Anthony Davis (Or Drummond, move Biz to PF). Wooooweeeee. Just not Harrison Barnes I will freak. Both the bigs are potential multiple year AS’s and DYOTP CANDIDATES
"What up? We're three cool guys looking for other cool guys who wanna hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged. If you're fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things." Again, NOTHING SEXUAL
