ClipperBlog Live 2-11-12 Clippers @ Bobcats

That team is horrible nice blowout let’s finish out this road trip 5-1 and keep this train rolling

The Bobcat’s starting center last night was a small forward teenager. Good grief!

Bismark Biyombo is19 years old. He’s also 6’9″ (in reality, probably 6’8″) and he weighs in at about 220 lbs, which is very thin for anybody who’s 6’9″, especially one starting at center in the NBA. He’s basically a small forward who should be playing as a freshman in college, and even there he likely wouldn’t be starting since he can’t shoot at all.

This is the kind of center Jordan can play mediocre against. It’s the same as the centers on Toronto and Miami. . . all who are listed at 6’9″ and likely are even shorter.

Amir Johnson of Toronto is even thinner at 210 lbs. Joel Anthony of Miami weighs more (245 lbs.) but he’s very slow and can’t move or cover. All three of these guys are incapable of shooting and average in the low single didgets in points.

These are the centers Jordan plays least badly against.

How many 19 year old, 6’9. 220 lb centers do you think the Clippers will see in the playoffs in the West? None. The closest is Perkins but that’s only because he’s short but stocky and he can’t move or shoot. All of the other six teams that will get to the Western conference playoffs have legitimate sized centers who can score, and Jordan is going to be helpless against them. In a seven game series, they will plan in detail how to attack Jordan, and they will destroy him.

It will be painful to watch.
