Good -vs- Evil: Charlotte Bobcats -vs- New Orleans Hornets 2/6

[ziggy]

Through the annals of history there have been many occasions where the forces of good have come face to face with pure evil.

For example Superman -vs- Bizarro

Bugs Bunny -vs- Elmer Fudd

Atsushi Onito -vs- Terry Funk

The city of Baltimore -vs- Marlo Stanfield
http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w301/bobcatsplanet/marlo-713598.jpg

Gentlemen... It is our time to step up and come face to face with pure evil. Saturday night The New Orleans Hornets and George Shinn come to town to face the Bobcats
http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w301/bobcatsplanet/gerogeshinn.jpg
Don't let the sissified hat that his little 5'4" punk ass is wearing fool you... This man is pure evil and he and his team must be defeated Saturday night.

So, whats it going to be people? Will good win, or will the evildoers win?

[LadyCats Rule]

No CP3 = 'Cats Victory

Think Shinn will be in the arena that Charlotte wouldn't build for him? Maybe wearing that headband from the last Charlotte Hornets "band together" playoff run?

I went down to NO for the Panthers game this year. Went to see Toronto crush the Hornets on Friday night in the New Orleans Arena. Wore my Panthers Jersey and was yelling "Get your own Mascot" all night long.

F the Hornets.

[GoBobs]

Well I hope people cheer for oak at least it wasn't his fault

[teej]

Fuck the Hornets.

Fuck Hugo's gay ass.

Fuck George Shinn.

Fuck Shinn again.

Hell, he can get it a third time.

And while we're at it: Emeka, tell us how the playoffs look...oh, wait. We're the ones going there BITCH!

We better win this. I don't care if we lose 5 in a row after, this is the one game we HAVE to win.

[Toocool]

We should win.
They have the advantage with PF+C, but we have the advantage on PG, SG and SF. I really hope we blow out the Hornets.

95-86 Bobcats Win.

[King Taharqa]

Kick their ass Bobcats!!!

[Dcarnys]

Gonna be there tonight. Can't wait
Hope Mek does well, hope the rest of the Hornets suck.

[GeraldWalrus]

Myself and MrMelot will be there. We are rested and they lost to Philly last nite. We should handle them since it's G Force night!

[ohara831]

NO coming off a hard home loss last night. We are at home and rested and they have no CP3. Cats should win this.

Edit: And Funk should have stomped Onito!!

[Keetch]

HA for some reason I just don't get angry at the Hornets anymore. I'm just too much of a CP3 fan.

I'll be watching on highly pixelated SportSouth - the "now in HD where available oops nowhere" channel. sigh

[TheLegend]

Tyson is returning right guys?

[rsxnova]

^I dont think he is ready. Also, why does my tv show the snowed out Hawks, Wiz game. Im going to be so pissed.

[KT#20]

Would be great if Tyson suited up, because then we could all see Mek embarrass him, but he's only in it to collect paychecks, so I'm not surprised.

[Talent]

West will continue to take those shots, however they will not continue to go in.

[spectre]

Jax with some big shots!

Boris still struggling.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Ok Diaw, I would have made that

[CatNation]

Boris is so worthless. Even the Hornets broadcast was makin fun of how fat he is.

edit: thx Boris

[spectre]

Now that was one pretty set up play!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great oop by Felton to Crash!

...and Boris is starting to show some life!

[Talent]

Boris should have a few three's he keeps passing them up and he is wide open.

[spectre]

And what about Nazr!!!! I'd say he at least got even vs Okafor in the 1st quarter...Nazr with more points, 1 less board and block.

Given the contract difference I'm pretty darn happy.

[KT#20]

And what about Nazr!!!! I'd say he at least got even vs Okafor in the 1st quarter...Nazr with more points, 1 less board and block.

Given the contract difference I'm pretty darn happy.

I just don't see it as an either/or situation. We could have an AWESOME center rotation with EO50 and Naz, but instead we have to settle.

[ammofan]

Jack is throwin em up tonight! lol

[Slam]

Now that was one pretty set up play!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great oop by Felton to Crash!

Text book.

Such patience and and perfect execution by Felts, Crash and Boris (who set the screen and got Crash the path).

[Slam]

And what about Nazr!!!! I'd say he at least got even vs Okafor in the 1st quarter...Nazr with more points, 1 less board and block.

Given the contract difference I'm pretty darn happy.
Couldn't agree more.

If we are talking bang for your buck, Nazzy won the 1st hands down.

EO50 looking aggressive though - which was nice to see (and something we didn't see enough of in Charlotte!!)

[spectre]

I just don't see it as an either/or situation. We could have an AWESOME center rotation with EO50 and Naz, but instead we have to settle.

With the cap dropping to the low/mid 50s I certainly do. We're talking 5 million difference next season in and either or. Together we'd be looking at being around 5 million over the cap with 11 players.

With the financial landscape you absolutely have to take salary vs production into account.

[GoBobs]

Hornets have no depth

[spectre]

LOL at DJ abusing Hart!

Slow start but it looks like we've bounced back pretty well for a 1st game after a long road trip.

Slam...well executed plays are what make this fun to watch (on both sides of the ball).

[Slam]

Fuck that pisses me off.

[spectre]

Posey bringing them back.

Ugh.

[Talent]

Live by the three die by the three.

[Slam]

Fuck that pisses me off.
Why doesn't Boris explode to the rim and use his length 80% of the time and only look to pass 20% of the time rather than the other way around?

He makes it look SO damn easy when he does it.

[KT#20]

With the financial landscape you absolutely have to take salary vs production into account.

I don't disagree at all... which is why it's foolish to pay Chandler more than we would have paid Okafor for half the production.

[Slam]

I like what LB has done with his subs tonight. He's playing guys in chunks of time, not bits and pieces.

It helps guys find a groove.

[spectre]

Nice stretch to push it to a 10 point lead!

Nazr = BEAST!

[CatNation]

DJs ballin

[ALong13]

Wow great job so far by Nazr, DJ, and Diaw. Diaw may not be shooting well from the field, but he's getting to the line and hitting those shots. Nazr has just been really impressive. DJ shooting well too...

Okafor is going to see the ball more, him and David West now that Paul is out and can't score, nor can Thorton...that's over 30 points missing, so I expect Okafor to get chances with ball that he never got in Charlotte...I really don't miss him that much as its allowed Wallace and Nazr to emerge even more

[spectre]

I don't disagree at all... which is why it's foolish to pay Chandler more than we would have paid Okafor for half the production.

But TC's expiring next year.

It's a catch 22. I'd love to have Okafor, and I don't blame him at all for getting everything he could salarywise. I knew when we gave him that contract that we'd end up trading him (same thing we'll do with Felton if he gets retail).

We just can't afford him.

[CatNation]

is there a better per minute big in the league than Naz?? :confused::g:

[dnbman]

Nazr showing the young man how to play.

[Slam]

Nazr = BEAST!
He's pushing Felts for the MiP!!

[ohara831]

I think Nazr just holds a grudge against Okafor. He blames him for his not getting much PT since he was traded to Charlotte and now he wants to show he's better than Okafor. He's playing like a mad man!

[French_Cats]

What's up

Let's Go Cats !!!!!!!!!!!

[Slam]

EO50 has always struggled against bigs who are long and have a mid range J - which is what Nazzy is.

[dnbman]

EO50 has always struggled against bigs who are long and have a mid range J - which is what Nazzy is.

Yeah, but I agree a bit with Ohara. I think Nazr does have something to prove. There's got to be some personal satisfaction about about outplaying the former big contract starter while the current big contract starter watches from the bench.

I don't think Nazr's petty. I just think he's a guy with a lot of pride. And good for him!

He had nothing to prove against the Lakers and dominated that game.

He's been playing this well all season when given a chance.

I doubt Nazzy feels he has anything to prove against EO50.

I think TC would have if he had of played (which is why I think he didn't end up playing), but not Nazzy.

[ND22]

Can I just say how annoying the Hornets announcers are?

"I haven't seen this much pressing since I was at a laundry mat."

:facepalm:

[dnbman]

I know he's been playing well, but don't you think there'd be a little personal satisfaction about out-dueling the guy who used to start in front of him?

[spectre]

Speaking of Nazr...how's about we get him a few touches this quarter?

and the D is pretty terrible.

[Slam]

I know he's been playing well, but don't you think there'd be a little personal satisfaction about out-dueling the guy who used to start in front of him?
I wouldn't have thought so. It wasn't like EO50 was brought in and took Nazzy's starting spot away from him. EO50 was already here and an established starter. Nazzy was always brought in as a back up - and he knows it.

[Talent]

So the Hornets are putting up a hell of a fight I think fatigue will set in soon though they are pushing very hard this quarter, and the refs seemed to have evened out the foul situation again so NO will have to find another way to score.

[KT#20]

I wouldn't have thought so. It wasn't like EO50 was brought in and took Nazzy's starting spot away from him. EO50 was already here and an established starter. Nazzy was always brought in as a back up - and he knows it.

Exactly. Even when TC was brought in, he said right away that TC was going to be the starter and that he was just going to fight for the backup spot.

[dnbman]

Is Felton's ankle still bothering him? He hasn't been the same over the last few games.

[ohara831]

This 3rd qtr sucks so far!

[ItsAmazingImTheReason]

Free throws in this quarter... :facepalm:

[Talent]

Imagine that a shitty 3rd quarter from the Bobcats how rare.....does LB say anything in the locker room to pump these guys up or does he pick them apart and depress them so they play horrible in the third all the time?

[ohara831]

In the race for the Playoffs, this is one we cannot afford to lose - at home.

[Chrystos]

This was the worst defense I have seen in a while

[spectre]

18 2nd half turnaround.

Jesus.

[Talent]

This game fucking sucks.

[kickazzz2000]

I hope George Shinn dies an agonizingly slow fucking death from cancer.

[spectre]

Heh...Nazr sitting there on the bench with a 7 for 9 line, but we go small. Let's ignore that we're getting deeper in the hole while doing it too.

[Chrystos]

why are we losing this game

[Chrystos]

I hope George Shinn dies an agonizingly slow fucking death from cancer.

This may sound wrong, but me to.

[spectre]

D stepping up in the last couple possessions.

[ohara831]

Heh...Nazr sitting there on the bench with a 7 for 9 line, but we go small. Let's ignore that we're getting deeper in the hole while doing it too.

Agreed! And I dont understand taking out DJ when he is one of the only ones playing well tonight. Just not sure I understand what LB is thinking. We dont play till Tuesday, so we dont need to rest players tonight.

[spectre]

Interestingly my feed buffered right on LB after Collison split that double team...and that expression wasn't a pretty picture.

But not playing Nazr at all in the 4th makes no sense.

[spectre]

...and to be fair he should be pulling Felton now cuz he just let Collison fake him out.

[Talent]

This game is on the Defense and Felton/Diaw. Felton has been off bad for the last few games.

[ohara831]

LB should make them all practice tomorrw evening and miss the damn Super Bowl! And Flip needs to learn to make a damn FT! 0-5 is Shaq-like!

[GoBobs]

add flip to that for his 0-5 night at the foul line and LB for not playing nazr in the second half

also collison was great

[ohara831]

Give Collison credit! Once CP3 went down, the kid is showing he has tons of game!

[GoBobs]

Collison > Felton

Nazr > Oak

Some GM with no experience who is only coaching because they fired Byron Scott > LB

[ziggy]

This one really hurt. With CP3 out, this is the kind of game that we absolutely MUST win if we are going to be considered a good team.

Nice game by Emeka in his return to Charlotte. 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocked shots.

Tyson Chandler :facepalm:

[Keetch]

Pretty wonky game. The team didn't seem to have much energy in the 2nd half...seemed unfocused.

There were some fine moments of Boris comedy though; always enjoy those.

Boris is a master of the no-look pass. Really, he doesn't look.

Not sure why Derrick Brown didn't play. I would have liked to see Derrick Brown play.

[gforce33]

gw just 11 shots?:confused:

[Marvel]

So would this be the point of the season where our 2 best players Crash and Jax start to burn out:facepalm:.......i hope not

[Toocool]

I'm starting to get sick of LB.
I'm sick of seeing him go small when NAZZY is all friggin over Okafor.
I'm sick of seeing him put Auggie on the bench when Auggie is playing better than Felton.
I'm sick of LB stunting the development of our team with the lack of playing time for our other players.
I'm sick of him playing Diaw when Diaw is one of his slump modes and giving him large ass minutes.
I'm sick of him blaming the PLAYERS when he's the one at fault. I understand how hard it would be for Diaw to guard an all-star PF and Okafor, both bigger and taller than him. Therefore I'm sick of him shifting the blame to others.

Maybe I'm just overreacting, but I'm pissed as hell that we lost that friggin game. I wouldn't even call it a game from the second half. Taking out Nazzy, seriously.:facepalm:

[spectre]

Collison > Felton

Nazr > Oak

Some GM with no experience who is only coaching because they fired Byron Scott > LB

Felton & Jax were "under the weather" per LB...which explains why DJ got to play the entire 2nd quarter (1st time I remember). Combine that with Crash's hammy and the 1st game back from the road trip it's not all that shocking that we dropped this game.

Not playing Nazr in the 4 after such a great game by him is still confusing.

[Maal]

and grew extremely angry and bewildered at the fact that LB didn't play Derrick Brown all night, when Boris had yet another Boris like game, also bewildered at the fact that NO went zone for the entire 2nd half, but LB decided to keep Ray Ray on the floor as opposed to DJ.... I tweeted Stephanie Ready (follow me@ jdevolve1180)and asked was there any reason Derrick Brown wasn't playing and had no idea. were about 8 rows back and at the end of the game I yelled as loud as I could "TRADE BORIS DIAW".....last night was one of the worst coached games I've ever seen by LB, this one hurts bad, no excuse for not winning this one.

[BRNC]

LB constantly gives me pause with his "coaching strategy" in most games...this one was a real head-scratcher...

[WarioVsMooChicken]

I swear people are so bipolar about everything involving the Bobcats

DJ has had basically 5 good games the whole year. The cats have played 49 games. Raymond may have had 5 bad games. Go figure!

Think about what you're saying before you type anything, you just made yourself look stupid :facepalm:.

[etothet]

Think about what you're saying before you type anything, you just made yourself look stupid :facepalm:.

DJ's 49 game average
PPG 5.8, RPG 1.10, APG 2.3 ,EFF + 5.28, 37% from the field, 36% from 3pt

Raymond's 49 average
PPG 12.1, RPG 3.50 ,APG 5.1, EFF + 14.08, 45% from the field, 40% from 3pt


I like DJ, but I thought the statement you made was far out. Please explain to me why you think DJ should be starting over Raymond?

[teej]

DJ starting over Raymond would be about as dumb as bringing back Sam Vincent.

DJ is not an NBA caliber starting PG at the moment, Ray is.

Hell, Ray was getting All Star honorable mentions...DJ isn't even playing in the Rookie-Sophomore game.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Yea, Ray has been solid all year and DJ has been very meh.

[Toocool]

Complete misinterpretation there.
I was talking about specifically that game.
Not the season :facepalm:
