Feel bad about POB.
He is just trying his best in one of the toughest league, and people are full of expectation.

I think he has potential in the offensive end, but he really needs to play defense, otherwise, its hard to give him playing time.

we should be starting pob instead of rasho whenever one of bosh or bargs are hurt. i know what rasho brings and while he's OK, he's not exactly a game changer. meaning i don't think playing pob instead of rasho would actually hurt our team. i say give the dude some minutes. if anything he can be like a younger, longer rasho. just block some shots, grab some boards, and hit open mid range jumpers. i think he can do that AT LEAST.

Those guys hating on him are low-lives but he could have taken the high road and ignored it. He's right, he put in hard work to get to where he's at and he's a lot more successful than the people who waste their time hating on him. I know that would have gotten under my skin too though.

rasho can at least set screens. i haven't seen pob do anything. in my entire life i saw him grab 2 boards in traffic. those are the only two times he has had an impact on an nba game (even though they were in garbage time).

I guess he's the type of guy who realized it would take more work to succeed at this level than he is willing to put in...So he's just out there collecting a paycheck..

The guy went to college so i doubt he's dumb.



but we do know that anyone who thinks going to school in the US as a scholarship athlete has anything to do with education is.

He has problem defending his man.
He needs to learn a lot from one on one, positioning, rotating to ...

it always amuses me when someone tries to make a point about education and ends up mangling the spelling or the grammar :)

I really hate that people are being so flat out mean to the guy. He's a product of where he was drafted, but he's shown that he has tools to be a decent basketball player. Sadly, he's not in much of a position to improve. He should head to the D-League.

He's still living the dream, and he's young too. If he can't make it in the NBA, he'll always find work in the Euroleagues.

Attacking third string NBA players for not playing is so stupid.

Ya ive been following most of these on twitter an dhave asked him some questions, not hating on him though. I dont hate the guy either...he wasnt even OUR bust ffs.
He's actually smart and makes a good point, people know HIS name not the other way around, and while he has failed in the sense that he was a top 10 pick (but in a really weak draft outside of 5 players) he still made it to the best league in the entire world.

I actually liked him MORE from these responses and im not sure why some people think what he said is wrong. He is being attacked so he responded. Big deal...id do the same thing, maybe he isnt oign about it in the most mature way, but he's still giving very legitimate responses.

Here are two of MY questions:

Q: I know u got midrange game...but how's ur 3point game?

A: not so hot....the line messes w my head i think


Interesting...maybe he would fail the caliper test? haha.

Q: Who wins in the 1v1's between u and bosh in the pregame shootaround? we see u on tv

A: my record is like 14 and 5. but he wont admit that


:o It's official POB>>>>BOSH

Let Bosh walk and re-sign POB to a bargain deal to replace him! haha :lol:
We all know pregame 1v1's are different than actual gametime but that's cool.

I try asking him "nice" questions cuz i know he gets A LOT of haters. I mean, his midrange game isnt really all that good that we can move on to worrying about his 3point game, but i felt it would be a solid questions to ask.
