OT: Charlotte Bobcats

[UConn990411]

Can someone explain to me why the Bobcats are playing a stiff like Corey Maggette 30+ minutes and Kemba can barely get 20?

I hope he gets out of that s**thole of an organization the first chance he gets.

A few weeks ago they said they were going to focus on developing their young talent in the 2nd half of the season, meaning Kemba and Biyombo, but apparently 'developing' means decreasing their minutes. Idiots. No wonder their organization is a joke.

It's a toss-up between Maggette and Diaw as their most experienced, accomplished veterans (which says a whole lot about the team, obviously). Considering they don't play the same position, I don't think Maggette is taking Kemba's minutes, it's probably the return of Augustin.

The question you should be asking is how in the hell is their roster that bad?

Kemba actually played pretty well tonight. He had put in 14 points in only 20 minutes, but yet, he went to the bench at the end of the third quarter, never to be seen again. Instead of isolating guys like Maggettee, the Bobcats offense should involve putting Kemba in a pick and roll and letting him create. He's actually been doing a much better job in that regard as of late.

Just as sad might be the New Jersey Nets. Deron Williams put in 57 points tonight, but yet, it still came down to the final possesion to eat the Bobcats.

Kemba and Augustin played together a good amount early in the year (with Maggette or Henderson shifting to the 3)...why not continue to do that?

When you're as bad as the Bobcats, developing players should be priorities 1, 2, and 3. But knowing how duck*ing stupid they are, they probably think they're building up Maggette's trade value or something.
