    If he doesn't play tonight with Bass out I will be annoyed, but not surprised. I swear if we get Sacre or Kelly at the 5 and no Bass, I will have no choice but to think this is personal between Tarik and B0ron.

    Edit: Nevermind, Black and Sacre were assigned to the D-Fenders so they aren't even available to play. Lot of Sacre and Huertas tonight, yay.

    Yeah, that's what I meant, typo. My brain was still hurting from hearing B0ron talk about how big Rob was gonna be playing tonight.

    He battled foul trouble in the last D-fenders game.

    Good game for Black. Very active on defense. Good rolls to the basket. Come on Byron, let him play.

    Unfortunately Tarik will go back to the bench in a few games when Bass returns.

    Excellent performance from Black. With Nance stepping up his game, Bass seems to be the odd man out. Perhaps we can package Bass and Young for a 3&D wing before the deadline.

    What we have here is a broken man. Broken by Bane! err Boron who is the bane of all our existence, players and fans alike.

    Tarik should be back with this team next year. He's a very good fit.

    We saw a little bit of his size being an issue, but his activity and athleticism more than make up for it. He earned minutes. Why he's not getting consistent minutes is beyond me.

    Literally the only thing I can think of is that they want to protect his value in trades and his next contract which in itself is a s*** thing to do to a guy, but that's ALL I can think of.

    Yeah, there is no way Sacre or Bass should have been playing backup to Tarik. He was gelling so well with Russ it was like they had been playing with each other.

    I love how he rolls hard to the basket, works for offensive boards, and plays tough strong defense despite his height limitations at Center. But...didn't we want to play "small ball" anyway? Tarik is the PERFECT small ball center outside his free throw shooting.

    Hibbert is falling out of favor for me. I love his grit and his presence, but he's just too slow for this team and his finishing around the basket is abysmal for a guy of his stature. It's almost embarrassing.

    Lol Byron. Tarik plays with more energy than anybody other than maybe Lance or Julius. He did exactly that when he played the other night.

    To add to that




    Kind of hard to play with energy when you don't play at all. Also kind of hard to be held to the standard of 2 of the best to ever do it. I really wish this guy would be fired already. Everyone on this team is held to different, weird standards, it leads to no growth and a lot of confused players. F*** off, B0ron.

    B0ron needs a punch in the balls, for like, every three seconds.

    -LMAO at putting Faried in the same sentence as Wallace and Rodman
    - SMH at Boron and his BS justifications/unrealistic expectations for 1st or 2nd season players

    Any one with a brain and two eyes can tell you that Black plays with energy out there. STFU and GTFO BS!
