Kings at Bobcats 1/18

[TheLegend]

I'm hyped about this game! 20-19!!!!

[ND22]

Should be a good one, Kings have been a surprise this year, but should we play like we've been I see us winning our 5th straight and getting over the .500 mark.

Damn I loves sacramento kings :facepalm: is that I have a great game tonight, we need to win the game, nobody can beat us at home LET'S GO BOBCATS

[teej]

Are those Kings flipping off the camera??

[BobcatsAllDay]

I expect to see a lot of traps off the dribble. Tyreke Evans loves to pound the ball which should play right into the Bobcats defensive plans. Everybody in the league should know you cannot turn the ball over against the Cats and expect a win.

[ammofan]

I will be at this game rockin the rooftop. LOL
Who else is going????


Im sure Gerald will be in for a huge day as he usually is vs. SAC :D

[ziggy]

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that tomorrow's game will bring everyones's favorite former Bobcat back to town

Of course, I'm partial to that youngster sitting between Vlade and Hedo with that big grin on his face....wonder whatever became of him ;)


Matinee's are terrible for me, so I'll miss another MLK Day game, which sucks because I've enjoyed this homestand, for obvious reasons, so much that I hate to miss one of them. Oh well, at least it's televised (well, for some of us at least :().

This is a danger game for me as this has been, on the surface, looking like the easiest game of the homestand before it began. Plus, you take into account how well we've played during the homestand, and how poorly SAC has played on this road trip........ugh. Not worried, but cautious.

[Crash'sHeadband]

I feel like other than maybe for Point Guard and the bench I think we're better than Sacramento in any way possible.But I just have that feeling now that I got my hopes up about a team they're just blow it in a very winnable game. Let's Go Cats

[CarolinaBlue704]

Should be a great game.I just hope the Cats don't take this team lightly. They've beat some really good teams over the last week.Cant let up now with a chance to go over .500.

Happy MLK day.Should be a great day of basketball.:biggrin:

Im sure Gerald will be in for a huge day as he usually is vs. SAC :D

My wife and i should be thair all so in 211 row b seat 7 &8 not far from the rooftop

A tough cover for Felton Evans at 6.6 and athletic . Jax and K-mart should be a good match up too. . We will have to come ready this is not automatic. I would not be supprized to see Wallace on Evans from time to time . Traps should work well all so .

[ohara831]

I hope Ray is on Tyreke to try and cover him like a glove. Try to shake the kid's confidence, let him make some mistakes and turnovers. Evans is lightning quick, but if Ray can use his defensive smarts, we can force turnovers into easy buckets.

This is kinda a trap game. We just came off 3 tough opponents, and next is Miami with a chance to take the 5th spot. Cant be looking ahead as the Kings have weapons and are capable of winning today. Stay focused.

[spectre]

Haven't seen a lot of Evans, but if he can use his height in perimeter shooting and post ups Felton is going to have problems.

I figure our way to win is to let Felton do all he can but limit Evans' other options. Don't let Martin go off and cover their bigs. A strong offensive showing by Crash & Jax will go a long way too.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Felton has had to guard taller people. Like during Sam Vincent, he was forced to guard 6 foot 8 SGs and such and he really did a pretty decent job. He's a really underrated defender, so I'm not worried too much there.

I'm just worried that this could be a sort of trap game for us =\

[spectre]

Sure he can guard them, but certain things taller guys do he's less effective defending against.

For instance...Andre Miller always owns him on a post up, and the bigger perimeter shooters like Gordon & Crawford burnt him repeatedly.

I don't know that Evans has any of that in his game...so it might be moot.

Definitely agree on that trap game thinking. I think SAC is probably better than their record appears and this is the type we always seemed to have let slide in the past.

[teej]

http://rwbsports.com/ch4.html today.

By the way, for anyone watching, Ben Wallace had 10 pts in the 1st qtr, his career high is 22.

[Bobcat4Ever]

So Sean May said before the game that he was "finally healthy." Does anyone actually believe that? lol

[teej]

Either way, he won't dress.

[x2pacalypse]

he will dress his vegetables with a healthy heaping pile of ranch

[ND22]

Ready for the game, got the league pass preview going. Lets get it!!

EDIT: And of course, the game is actually on cable.

Out of sight out of mind, But apparently not out the kitchen.

[docend24]

any links showing something already?

[docend24]

Sean will be in a suit so no big deal. Except for those of oyu who haven't got food for your dinner yet - there won't be any in stores by right now.

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

anyone have a working link?

[Ghost Kat]

Great block by Crash even if it was goaltending.

[ND22]

If you guys got Fox Sports Net its on there. Also the free league pass has the game.

http://www.nba.com/lpfreetrial/

Also sweet alley oop by Wallace.

[spectre]

Blocked for me.

Shouldn't be surprising...I've never got to see a MLK game yet.

Sounds like we're still playing well though.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Blocked out on LP =(

[Ghost Kat]

I feel bad for beating the Kings on Martin Luther King day. There's a strange irony in that.

[spectre]

RWB is up!!!!!!!!

[Ghost Kat]

Good game so far, sounds like there's a simi big crowd today.

[French_Cats]

felton dunk:p

[spectre]

Damn Felton is ripping their offense with some awesome passes!

[Ghost Kat]

UPS delivers a dunk to the face in three straight games

[Wolfpackbobcat]

that was redunkulus

[ND22]

Derrick Brown can flat out jam it. Could he be a future dunk contest contestant?

[ziggy]

Derrick Brown just teabagged that dude

http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo118/kitten_images/teabag.gif

[spectre]

Heh...ripping their defense!

Nice 12-0 run to finish out the quarter. Looks like we're not taking anything for granted. Team is growing up!

Tyreke Evans...meet Gerald Wallace.

[Bobcat4Ever]

Lmao @ Steve Martin

[ziggy]

I think the kid was checking out Stephanie's rack :g:

[Ghost Kat]

Gerald Henderson might get some PT today

[ziggy]

Crash is trying to dunk EVERYTHING

[spectre]

Just outstanding...and with Jax on the bench.

[aznjustice14]

is it just me or is gerald really trying to showcase his dunking skills...he has had a couple of highlight reel dunks..and almost had a windmill there i think if he wasn't fouled. that other alleyoop shoulda been a foul on brockman also i think

[Chef]

did anyone notice on the replay of brown's 1st quarter dunk that the defending king blatantly forearm shivered him in the ribs. the best part, ups tried to kick him with the swing on the rim.

[DCW]

what are the chances Felton gets a triple double toaday

[aznjustice14]

wallace needs to watch his body though..those are some huge dunks he's tryin to pull off

[ziggy]

is it just me or is gerald really trying to showcase his dunking skills...he has had a couple of highlight reel dunks..and almost had a windmill there i think if he wasn't fouled. that other alleyoop shoulda been a foul on brockman also i think

looks that way to me too

[Chef]

shazaam!!!!!!

[ziggy]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Shrimpy_Jackson]

I love you gerald!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ghost Kat]

Everytime some one goes to block a shot Steve Martin says it's Gerald Wallace :p

[ziggy]

shazaam!!!!!!

Yahtzee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spectre]

I love Crash and I love this team!!!!!!!!!

Up 19 at the half. We just aren't missing a beat.

[rsxnova]

Another great first half. I am also happy that Sjax is getting a good rest.

[Wolfpackbobcat]

its a marathon, not a sprint...Gerald needs to be careful

[aznjustice14]

on that end of the first half reverse dunk that gerald had, i just knew it was coming. kings aren't watching the back door AT ALL. if i were them, i'd be tryin to keep a body on wallace since he's getting sooo much open space on the baseline to get alleyoops with. bobcats should continue to look for that baseline cut pass, the kings are just givin it to us

[Ghost Kat]

I'm going to donate my last vCash buck to the people in Haiti

[rsxnova]

Raymond at 6/5/8... I dont want to jinx it but it could happen.

[teej]

Man, GW is killing it. I think it's a warmup and retribution for Sac-Town for getting rid of him. Even then though, he's beating the shit out of the Queens.

[ziggy]

And they have begun to freak out over at the KingsFans game thread (http://www.kingsfans.com/forums/showthread.php?p=708295#post708295) :biggrin:

hahaha, i was actually following their game thread also, its great seeing the respect that gerald gets. too bad he'll be losing out of his top 5 rebounding soon at his current rate of rebounding. david lee with another monster rebounding night for the knicks

[BobCatsFanInTx]

Boris is back to form it seems.

[aznjustice14]

My league pass broadband keeps freezing. :(

mine too for some reason, just close it (the window within league pass, not the whole internet window) and reopen the bobcats game. it works for me at least

[aznjustice14]

6 missed free throws in this quarter :( should be a much bigger lead

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

RWB Sports is back up..

[spectre]

C'mon now guys.

[BobCatsFanInTx]

Sac making a bit of a run. Let's see how our Cats handle it.

[aznjustice14]

those 8 or so missed free throws in the 3rd quarter are gonna haunt us if this run keeps up

[x2pacalypse]

this feed is horrible

[Ghost Kat]

Derrick Brown has some long arms, Nice move in the post. Can't believe the Kings made that run but the Refs were letting a little to much slide.

4th qtr.....Lets Go Cats!!!!

[BobCatsFanInTx]

those 8 or so missed free throws in the 3rd quarter are gonna haunt us if this run keeps upI think the Bobcats relaxed a bit and got away from their game. Complacency can kill a team. Hopefully the Bobcats can flip the switch and heat up again. This is where the Bobcats maturation or lack thereof will show.

[x2pacalypse]

does anybody know where the league pass demo link is? i can't find it

[spectre]

Look in the Bobcats' forum 2pac...someone started a thread about it.

Seems we've at least stopped their run...now we need a little more separation.

[French_Cats]

felton 8 assist 9 rebond 8 pts:cool:

[Wolfpackbobcat]

Shit......

[French_Cats]

DAMN WALLACE:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

[Fred Williamson]

**** :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

[Bobcat4Ever]

Fuck my life

[teej]

GW is fine.

[French_Cats]

WHAT A GAME :mad:

[Woodsy23]

this is bullshit!

A) what the fuck are these refs doing
B) what the ^^ are these Bobcats doing!? :facepalm:

[Maal]

Are you fucking kidding me right now? Seriously? Im starting to be happy i had to work today!

[rsxnova]

Bobcats fans, are we not supposed to be happy?

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

going back to our old ways..giving the game away on the 4th quarter..we stopped playing with a sense of urgency

[spectre]

It ain't over yet. Gut check time.

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

hah! the refs must be pulling for us..

[spectre]

Felton & Flip need to switch D assignments.

[Bobcat4Ever]

This Kings announcer is such a douchebag

[BobCatsFanInTx]

Katy bar the door this one is over and the Kings won.

[Bobcat4Ever]

Felton with the teardrop!

[spectre]

Katy bar the door this one is over and the Kings won.

Heh...after what, 3 seasons do you still think that works?

Up 4 with a minute left...gotta hang tough. We've built some character over the last few weeks and here's where it'll come out.

[bing!]

I was gonna sit this one out and just check the final score... my poor heart.

[French_Cats]

Felton just 1 rebond and triple double

[bing!]

Hell yeah! .500+

[aznjustice14]

looks like that free throw pact came in handy for felton....not so much for flip though, who knows what he'll have to do now

[spectre]

Smart miss by Flip...cuz it made sure we WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew...way closer than I ever wanted it to be!

Crash is hurting.

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

a win is a win...definitely not pretty, but above .500 . hope GW will be good to go on Wednesday

[Ghost Kat]

Ok, I changed my mind about Tyson. We seriously need a big man shot blocker. Great win by the Cats but way to many shots in the paint by the Kings.

[ND22]

Close game, too close but its all good, we won and we're 20-19. Raymond Felton is clutch.

[aznjustice14]

this woulda still been a near double digit lead had we made those 8+ free throws missed in the 3rd quarter.

REALLY worried about wallace right now though. we need him as much as ever against wade on wednesday.

[teej]

Well, I damn near had a heart attack, but that was an awesome ending...since we won.

I just hope GW can still dunk...

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

Oh no doubt azn...missed FTs are the things that piss me off the most other than the stupid "pass to the opponent" TOs. I'm pretty sure that 2nd miss by Flip was by design though...only 1 second left we didn't want them to even get a chance at it.

Ditto too on Crash. In his interview with Steph he sure looked like he was hurting.

[bing!]

^ did he injure himself or what?

[spectre]

Nocioni stepped on his foot...twisted his ankle.

[aznjustice14]

what i'm really hoping is that it isnt the same kind of ankle injury i had last school semester playing IM basketball...it hurt of course when i first got it and i had the same reaction that wallace had basically when he went down, but with the adrenaline i played through another 20 minute half relatively okay...
but then i was out for basically the whole semester since it was a sharp lingering pain and i couldnt push off of that foot at all anymore and didnt play for the rest of the season. wallace is 10000 times tougher than me though so i'm hopin he'll be fine.

yea i figured flips miss was by design and potentially to have a long rebound go out to felton ;) but a miss is a miss...and it was with less than 2 min to go, so flip might still hafta go through the punishment set by the pact unless they make an amendment to the pact hahah

[teej]

According to Rochinski it's a left ankle sprain.

[CatNation]

whew whatever, got the win. Give Gerald some ice and sit him on the couch till tipoff Wednesday please

[bing!]

I jinxed Crash with my 'Icarus' comment on another thread... I'm gonna go chop my arm off.

[Toocool]

Wow.
Close close game.
Felton played well, although near the end he was getting beaten pretty badly by Evans, but for the most part he did well.

Good things to note:
-We won without relying on Jax. Jax had a poor night, but we stayed competitive.
-Crash destroyed everyone
-Felton almost Triple Double
-UPS got playing time

Bad things:
-Crash and his ankle
-Too many Points in the Paint
-Flip+Graham combine for 39 minutes. Seriously? Where's the Hendo love?

[Keetch]

The Bobcats are playing tight, tough and intense defense right now. They've been working extremely hard.

But that toughness depends on the refs letting them play. On any given night, the Cats physical defense can be marginalized by manipulative officials.

I really got the feeling that today's group, led by Dick Bavetta and Haywoode Workman predetermined that Jax would take a seat early, and the Cats wouldn't get off Scot-free with close D. It almost worked. By the 4th quarter Jax had lost his intensity (why bother?), and Crash was hurt.

We still got the W, despite that; with the help of a terrible late goaltending call in the Cats favor. Sometimes I think the NBA's most senior refs are the worst.

[Crash'sHeadband]

We played a nice tough game,we got a little flashy which could of hurt us.We shouldn't be worried about Crash...it looked like just a little sprain just give him some rest and he'll be alright.I've been super impressed with UPS as of late but like some of you guys have said,we really need to see more of Henderson...some big games coming up...let's do work...

[spectre]

Toocool Flip was on Evans thru a lot of that, esp. when Udrih was in the game (I even commented in the GT that it was time to switch them up)...and I don't think Martin even played in the 4th quarter. That being said I don't think Felton would have held him down if he'd been on him all night...that dude is pretty darn impressive.

Felton is getting a lot of love for his 4th quarter play though. I think this one can be added to that Knicks game where we would have lost if it hadn't been for him.

According to Bonnell Crash has also been dealing with a hamstring. I'll be amazed if he's good to go vs Miami.

Who else besides me...if they were Larry Brown...would have been at Crash's bedroom window this AM tapping on the glass saying..."how's the ankle?"?

[walkerl]

Wow.

I'm sorry but Hendo does not need to be out there, the last two times I saw him on the court, he looked like a deer caught in the headlights. He is not ready yet.
