of course.. I was one of the few that still wanted him here..

never really wanted him to leave but Dolan was clearly sticking w/Isiah & Isiah was clearly sticking with Marbs at the time, so Larry had to go... it was an untenable situation.

he's really done a terrific job w/the Bobcats in a short time... wish we could say the same about MDA this season.

I don't think our coach was good last yr either. Two yrs in a row he's run Duhon into the ground. Effries is a breath away from going down permanently. He's hell bent on coaching via touch sense, in other words by feel. I could go on and on where he's failing this team. Yes our roster is highly questionable but no more so than other teams who are getting a lot out of their with similar or worse circumstances.

i agree, i haven't been overly impressed by what MDA's done as our head coach, but i'm hoping there's better things to come... i've always thought he was a good coach, but his rotations this year have left me scratching my head... the only explanation i can think of is that he's trying to pump up Fishlips & Bender's trade values so he can use them as pieces in a trade, otherwise he's just playing favorites & not really concerned w/playing the best players on the roster... i guess we'll see which is the case after Feb. 18th

yea.. LB really didn't play favorites or let guys do what they want... I really would like to have seen how he would have developed gallo, hill and chandler.... I doubt LB would put up with duhon's mess and Al harrington's volume shooting... He at one point was all over felton and even benched DJ augustine.. both guys are better for the dicispline.. constuctive discipline..

Gerald Wallace has really blossomed into a nice player under his tutorlage... i think Larry could have done a great job w/Wilson Chandler, but we most likely would not have drafted Gallo or Jordan Hill... we probably would have drafted DJ Augustine in '08 & Demar Derozan in '09... & i would assume David Lee would be playing better defense cuz of how much he stressed that part of the game... i think Nate woulda been traded by now if Larry was still the head coach too & we wouldn't have had to deal with Marbury's distraction if only Isiah had sided with LB instead... overall i'd say we'd be better off if LB had stayed & Marbury was shown the door, but only if Isiah were fired & replaced by Donnie Walsh.

good point there... and that is fine, as long as we have some good young players being developed properly, I would have been Ok with it..

Actually none of that would have happened because I'm positive our draft position would have been different. But say LB was hired by Dub instead of Pringles, we would have drafted D.J. Augustin(6), Terrence Williams(8), Dejuan Blair(29) those are all the players the Bobcats wanted if they had our picks.

i can buy that too... Terrence Williams & Dejuan Blair are definitely LB type players no doubt.

Well we are better than the Nets
I feel your pain dude, loved LB and always defended him. I even created a off topics thread on how well the bobcats are doing. Plan to go catch a game in Feb. But I am willing to let MDA do his thiung, too early to dump him. The bobcats have a lot of talent.

IMO they're playing great for the amount of talent they have on the squad... LB is getting the most out of those guys & G Wallace is having his best season ever... D Lee has blossomed under MDA too but the team is still losing to ****ty ass teams... not gonna hate on MDA but u gotta be crazy not to acknowledge the job LB has done in just a very short time in Charlotte.

They have beat Cleveland 2 times, they beat Memphis, Rockets, Spurs, Suns in consecutive games and about 4-5 other teams with winning records.
