Memphis Grizzlies at Charlotte Bobcats 1/9

[ziggy]

Saturday night the Charlotte Bobcats match up with a very close knit Grizzlies squad

ummm, wow, that's disturbing.

Believe it or not the Grizz are playing .500 ball and are currently sitting at 17-17, They are also winners of 7 of their last 10. I'm sure that there current winning ways are all due to the inspiration that they receive from watching their very very awesome dancer Minnie shake her money maker on the sidelines.

I'm certain however that she is the exception to the rule as far as humanity goes in Memphis. From what I'm told, most of the people there are a bunch of toothless, inbred, banjo pickin', moonshine brewing, square dancing hicks.

But back to the matchup, with Allen Iverson dropping in 25 ppg for the Grizz... Wait a minute, What?!? OK, scratch that. With Mayo and Conley in the backcourt, the Grizzlies have plenty of speed and quickness but are a little undersized. Felton and Jackson should have little problems with those two. Gerald Wallace >>> Rudy Gay, Randolph has a clear advantage over Diaw ( but lately who hasn't ) and the center position is a wash.

All in all, this should wind up being a 102-93 win by the Bobcats

Center isn't a wash...Gasol is a gem. He's gonna be better then his brother. Their only weakness is at PG, and Randolph will kill us down low. I'm really worried about this one.

Bobcats 101, Grizzlies 99.

[spectre]

Awesome thread Zig!

Yah Teej, Randolph has consistently killed us and vs. the 2 headed Nazr/Gana monster combo I doubt we see anything change in that regard.

Gonna have to bring our A+ game if we want to win this one. Hopefully the smell from the NYK loss is still lingering.

Edit: Oops...Boris will be on Randolph. :facepalm:

[BRNC]

...kinda scary to think what kind of "career game" Randolph could put on Meow...makes me shudder thinking about it...:facepalm:

[GoBobs]

I don't have a good feeling about this next little stretch. Memphis has been playing better, spurs have been playing better. I will be happy just to escape with a win.

[Fred Williamson]

Chill out. Should be an easy win for us.

[ammofan]

WOW! Im going to the game. My friend just game me some sick tix! hahah

go cats:g:

[tamburello]

We began horrible, but recovered well :) Hopefully we can stay with them in rebounding department.

[ziggy]

Gerald Wallace with 1 first quarter rebound and Boris with 5 ?!?!?!?


Has the world turned upside down?

[rsxnova]

Good first qtr. Lets keep it up!

[gforce33]

boring game:facepalm:

[tamburello]

We are turning the ball over way too much. We really need Felton on the floor.

[Talent]

looks like sam young is tonight's random bench scrub prolific scorer vs the bobcats only award winner.

I am expecting a 20+ point game out of him.

[tamburello]

We are turning the ball over way too much. We really need Felton on the floor.

He's on the floor and we still suck.

[gforce33]

what a you doing:facepalm: wallace:facepalm:

[teej]

Ugh. this game is awful.

[Talent]

fitting end to that crapfest of a half.

[tamburello]

WTF that buzzer beater!! Man we are destined to lose tonight.

[Talent]

rwb is down...worked all of halftime than blocked by admin gah.

sad I live in NC and have to watch most of this teams games online.

[gforce33]

stream down:mad:

[Talent]

stream is back....I guess that is a good thing wow the bobcats are playing like crap.

Nice shot by Felton.

[teej]

Felton, Wallace, and Jack are trying. That's about it. Yet somehow, we're within 10...

Amazing.

[French_Cats]

we do not pivot is our problem :( commerce !!!!!!!!

[spectre]

Man all UPS had to do is go up with the ball and he had an uncontested layup...instead he tried to dribble once and got stripped.

DJ tries to guard too tightly.

For a second I thought I was watching Mek...

[Talent]

The fact we are within 10 is great as the Bobcats could wakeup eventually in this game and make something of it....and Diaw make it a 4 point game :biggrin:

[gforce33]

64:68 !!:g:

[spectre]

Heh, Boris wasn't wanting to shoot that...but I'm glad he had to!

Least we're back to within 4.

Wow...looks like Orlando woke up...they're up over 30 points after 3 quarters vs Atlanta.

[spectre]

Nice drive/pass by Jax!

Almost makes up for the lazy TO the play before.

Not to mention the two shots he's missed point blank.

Edit: Only one...Boris with the other miss.

[Talent]

OJ Mayo can shoot decently well..I did think he was taller though he looks Felton's size.

[Marvel]

Z-Bo knows how to score in the paint mmm hmmm...S-Jax come on Cats

[spectre]

Z-Bo knows how to score in the paint mmm hmmm...S-Jax come on Cats

Surprising they're not just feeding him the ball as we're playing Crash on him (and Boris on Gasol).

Flip for 3 and the lead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marvel]

Flip for the lead

[gforce33]

80:78 haha:biggrin:

[Marvel]

Flip is raining em 3s

[teej]

Flip = Amazing.

[Talent]

Murry giveth and Murry taketh away.

[Marvel]

Flip=turnover:facepalm: aaaahhhhh and we lose the lead off a TO hmmmm surprising much

[spectre]

Murry giveth and Murry taketh away.

Well put. He gets us the lead and then he gives it right back to them.

[Talent]

what a nice time for the stream to go down :paddle:

[Marvel]

but that's Flip for you though he's 24/7 Hero Mode

[rsxnova]

Stream is gone

[Marvel]

Come on don't give this 1 away

[spectre]

Stream is gone

Refresh..it's back.

Zbo choke!

What a play by Crash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marvel]

Holy Cow Crash with a CLEAN block

[rsxnova]

Game winning block!

[Talent]

I love G Force...

[spectre]

Goddammit, then Felton misses two FTs. :facepalm:

[teej]

Gerald Wallace is the best player the city of Charlotte has had, in any sport. I love that guy.

[Marvel]

This game is not over ...................yet

[Marvel]

SHIT Mayo for the tie.... OT folks

[teej]

Fuck O.J. Mayo...

[Talent]

I saw that coming.....from a mile away.

[spectre]

LOL!

Just fucking shoot me now.

[BobCatsFanInTx]

Katy bar the door this one is over!!! Bobcats blew it.

[teej]

If Boris shoots this, then we deserve to lose in OT.

[Marvel]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaallaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace baby yeah

[spectre]

Thank God!

Lord that was close.

[teej]

Geraldddd Wallllace Wallace Wallace!

[BobCatsFanInTx]

What a pathetic following the Bobcats have. Does your state deserve an NBA team?

I am sorry I guess that is wrong on my part but when I see such a pathetic showing it kind of pisses me off.

[TheLegend]

Was that a buzzer beater (I was looking at the play by play score) Anyway, GERALD WALLCE IS AN ALL-STAR!!!

[Shrimpy_Jackson]

Gerald Wallace is a fucking badass!

[spectre]

Well on the plus side, we were trailing the whole 2nd half but we came back at the end to take it. It's been the same story but a different ending the last few games.

Griz are a good team...we're lucky to have won.

Felton owes Crash a dinner at Ruth Chris's.

TheLegend...yep. Crash got it out of his hands with about a half second left.

[rsxnova]

Clutch Wallace

[BETCATS]

2 words:
GERALD.
WALLACE.

[Marvel]

Felton penetrated and went for the tear drop missed Crash got the offensive board and put it in

[ohara831]

Bet Ray is the happiest Bobcat player. Crash rescued him from being a goat for missing those 2 FT's. A terrific win and they gutted it out. Very good win when it looked bleak.

[gforce33]

Clutch Wallace

Geraldddd wallacee:biggrin:

[TheLegend]

DAMN IT!!!!! AND I MISSED IT!! >_< *Bangs head on the wall* But, I'm glad the bobcats won.

[BETCATS]

Crash rescued him from being a goat
:D

See what happens when you forget to put a word in a sentence?

[Muttley]

I love Gerald Wallace. (And, no, I'm not just saying that because I saw Gerald Wallace. [Anchorman])

[teej]

Gerald Wallace is a rebounding, scoring, shot blocking lamp?

[spectre]

I love Gerald Wallace. (And, no, I'm not just saying that because I saw Gerald Wallace. [Anchorman])

Not only for the end game heroics either...he played a big part in keeping Zbo 9 points below his last 10 game average of 26.

All Star!

You know it!

All Star!

So true! On all points.
He made some mistakes this game (saving the ball under his own basket comes to mind), but he was still giving 110% effort the entire game.

On another note, we also would have lost the game if Flip hadn't hit some BIG 3s towards the end of the game. Props to Flip!

[ohara831]

See how many times we get to see that highlight on ESPN!

[teej]

See how many times we get to see that highlight on ESPN!

At least Adande was impressed, and he hates us.

[BRNC]

I think it is huge that both Snow and Harpring think Crash should be on the All-Star team...I just hope this reflects how the coaches feel...

[ziggy]

Gerald Wallace is a bad MoFo
Flip Murray is shooting that damned thing
Boris Diaw had double figure rebounds :hypo:
Raymond Felton was very solid with 19, 5, 5 & 2 blocked shots



Bobcats Win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ALuhrs704]

man gerald wallace is the man!!!!! and i cant say anything more about flip, he started off on my not like list but he has proved me wrong and is becoming a great option off the bench. i think he can get a decent look off on anybody.

[BRNC]

Flip (and I've never said anything differently) is a solid, all-around, BB player...he gets criticized for not making the "shot"...but he has the balls to take it...

[tamburello]

After watching that boring first half, I went to bed, I regret as hell. I missed the whole drama but whatever, Gerald is really the man. I've been watching this team from the beginning, and Gerald's basket is the first ever "real" buzzer-beater winner of the franchise as far as I remember.

This season, we might see some other firsts: First all star player (Wallace deserves it), first triple double (Diaw, Jackson, Felton candidates), first win against Dallas, and maybe the first playoff berth :D

Go Bobcats!!

......and if we win our next home game against Cleveland it would be our 1st season sweep against them too:biggrin:

......and if we win our next home game against Cleveland it would be our 1st season sweep against them too:biggrin:
its also our first season w/o sean may!

[TheBeagle]

Over 26 hours later and I'm still recovering from the game. More than anything else, it feels so good to be on the receiving end of one of these things to at least help exorcise demons of Ray Allen, LeBron, and David Lees past. Talk about driving home on a high......That was something else.

It was also GW punching his ticket to Dallas in February. Two huge clutch plays in a matter of minutes on each end of the court. What more can he do? No doubt, he'll find a way to show us.

Also, special kudos to Boris playing Randolph and Gasol very very well defensively. Not an easy task, but he held his own and even managed to get some boards out of it.

Exciting stuff, kids.
