Gerald Henderson

Big game tonight. I bet he does not miss Larry Brown.

 

Henderson is a perfect example of the difference in this team with Silas. Larry Brown always talked about how bad of a team they were. Silas came in and took what was there and instilled fun to it and told them get out there and play hard and just go for it. This team seems to be having fun for the first time in FOREVER. The players were talking the other day about how DJ is opening up and coming out of his shell. Paul Silas may not be the best coach as far as X's & O's (which he is pretty good there as well), but he is a master it seems at getting guys to play to their best. Great job guys.

 

Didn't see the game, but the stat line looked good.

 

he looked really good. just one game, but confidence can mean a lot to a young guy like henderson.

 

That is almost Henderson`s exact quote in a post game interview.
The team could have had shown more talent last season, but it appears Brown kept it under control. Which is too bad.

 

Hopefully he can stay healthy and actually turn into something for the Bobcats. Regardless of certain players doing well short term or longer, it's certain Brown needed to go and Silas is getting more from the players.

 

Henderson has got the ability, he always has. Good to see him start to use it.

 

Agreed, the physical part aside from I think his knee at times has never been an issue. Hopefully Silas can get Henderson on track mentally, but that has always been one of his strong suits with his players.

 

He's had a few starts now with Wallace out of the lineup (Jackson missed a couple of games too.) Last night was by far his best game as a pro. Active all over the court, had three really nice dunks and another that was incredible that he somehow missed while he got fouled. Also had three blocks and 9 boards.

Too bad he played like shit in his other two starts, but it's nice to see him finally have a good game. Agree with Silas, Brown complained too much about what we didn't have. Silas is using what we've got, not coveting other team's problems like Brown was known for.

Silas has this team running, and DJ is playing the best basketball of his career. Almost good enough to make you forget about that triple-double Felton dropped on the Suns a couple of nights ago on national TV.

 

That's funny. Good to see this team didn't quit on each other while Larry was browbeating them hoping to get out of town. At this point I wish LB had just quit over the summer, we'd be in a better position. He obviously wasn't committed.

Let's not forget that the Wizards blew out the Bobcats by 33 a few weeks ago in LB's second to last game. I don't even think Wall played in that game.
