Charlotte Bobcats at L.A. Clippers 2/22

[ziggy]

Tonight, we match up with the most cursed franchise in all of sports, The LA Clippers.

Whoever they draft this year should just go ahead and schedule both a microfracture and an ACL surgery as soon as their name is called.

We're going to kick these guys collective asses tonight, Right?

[teej]

Has Kim Hughes won yet? This could be a Kiki Vandeghwe situation all over again...

Bill simmons likes us, let's not disappoint.

Bobcats 92, Clips 85

[GoBobs]

Playing a crappy team on the road in a late times slot for us all the way across the country, not that confident. At least the bulls lost tonight.

[ohara831]

Chicago lost, but the darn Bucks won again. Pressure is on to win and keep pace with the Bucks. Dont want to go into these next 2 games in a tie with the Bucks.

[GoBobs]

anybody got a link

in case someone needs a link.

[Talent]

I am going to be tired tomorrow make this worth it Bobcats~

Doris Diaw needs step up.

[DCAWFAN]

the clippers annoucers just referred to diaw as good small forward.

[CatNation]

sure they werent talkin about crash? :g:

[teej]

the clippers annoucers just referred to diaw as good small forward.

No, the announcers were off sync with the highlights. They totally missed the Felton clip, and talked about Mohammed during Wallace's.

[GoBobs]

they might have been talking about wallace even though a video of diaw was on the screen. They just said we have a good sf

[DCAWFAN]

i don't they were showing diaw the whole time.

[teej]

Theo starting. SHIT.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

lol THEO GONNA ROCK THE PLACE

[rsxnova]

We will get destroyed by Kaman, but we can get the win.

[DCAWFAN]

worst tip off ever :facepalm:

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Theo is a beast

[Talent]

Well damn they missed one

nice of Wallace to show up :)

[DCAWFAN]

what kinda defense was thath wallace u stood their and just watched!

[rsxnova]

Kaman may be the best white center in the league

[Talent]

Clippers will start to come back to earth soon they are just shooting well I have not seen anything to worry about from them with the exception of DeAndre waking from the dead. Kaman will get his 20 and 11.

[teej]

Kaman may be the best white center in the league

Depends on what position you put Pau at.

And I thought defense was our specialty?? Ughh

[DCAWFAN]

correction for the commentators wallace as a ok outside shot.

[BobcatsAllDay]

Jack keeps turning this damn ball over

[rsxnova]

TO's are killing us.

[Maal]

what the hell is Jack doing out there??

[teej]

Great first quarter by Diaw.
Good first quarter by Gerald and Ray.
Everyone else needs to step the fuck up, now.

And Tyrus is trying too hard I think.

[Talent]

Jackson hurt us that quarter although the refs let Gordon rape him without many calls. Keep pushing hard with Jackson and I think Gordon will start making a few mistake that will get called.

[BobcatsAllDay]

Jackson hurt us that quarter although the refs let Gordon rape him without many calls.

I'm tired of talking about the refs. We gotta stop doing dumb shit looking for the refs to bail us out. MOVE THE BALL PLEASE

[Talent]

The Bobcats game plan will work, The clippers will fall apart the second they loose this infusion of confidence.

[teej]

Not good news on LB...

[spectre]

Their announcer just said that LB told him "privately" that if MJ wasn't part of the team he's "outta here".

[teej]

Thank God Boris is back...

How long has it been since I said that?

[Talent]

This game is highly unlikely. Why do shitty teams try so hard versus us and lay down for everyone else.

[spectre]

Felton has become near money on that kickout/wide open 3. So long as he's squared up he makes it much more than not.

[Talent]

Kaman gets no tech for that? that was horse shit.

[teej]

Ray/Gerald/Boris/Tyrus/Theo

try it.

Gerald seems to be feeling better.

[teej]

Kaman gets no tech for that? that was horse shit.

Look at who's on our team.

We aren't getting calls. Period.

[Weezy21]

Look at who's on our team.

hahah that is true

[WarioVsMooChicken]

mmmmm Derrick Brown

[BobcatsAllDay]

If we can get Jack off the plane we have a good chance

[teej]

If I told you Theo Ratliff would have more points in the first half than Captain Jack, but Jack had more rebounds, you would've called you crazy, right?

Weird half, but I'm feeling good going into the 3rd quarter.

Crash is back, and Diaw looks good.

[rsxnova]

Great way to close the half.

[Toocool]

Jax is struggling to find his shot. Maybe chuck in Graham or Hendo instead at the 2.
While I'm at it, I love how Felton is finding his offense. Not trying too much and just finding good open looks for himself.

[ohara831]

Jax and DJ stunk it up that 1st half. Gotta come thru for us better or this game wont be won by the Bobcats. We need more than Crash, Ray and Theo to win. I left out Boris. He's been solid also.

[GoBobs]

Jax is inconsistent, that is just the way he plays. Reminds me of J-Rich in some ways. Great streak shooter that throws to many sloppy passes. Jax does have much better handles though which takes some pressure off the pt guard. I am more worried about DJ he is really been up and down this year.

[teej]

I am more worried about DJ he is really been up and down this year.

More of the latter than the former, I believe.

[teej]

Also, Diaw on the triple double watch, 6/5/6

[King Taharqa]

Hopefully Jax finds his stroke in the 2nd half. G-Force is BACK!!! He's agressive, he's attacking the rim, havent seen him this lively since the Sacramento game. To play so poorly, we're still in the hunt. I just hope we avoid a 3rd quarter collapse.

[GoBobs]

The team also had great energy the last part of the 2nd Felton is playing great.

[teej]

The Clippers coach sounds like a retarded elementary school kid reciting an essay. Wow.

[teej]

Thanks to the Clippers tv people, I now know Boris Diaw has a bigger ass than Kim Kardashian...

[spectre]

I'm liking our energy starting the 3rd quarter.

...and we have the lead!

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Wallace, I don't tell you this enough, but I love you

[Talent]

Thanks to the Clippers tv people, I now know Boris Diaw has a bigger ass than Kim Kardashian...

They are a weird bunch....

[DCAWFAN]

wedgies haha.

[teej]

Boris and Gerald are kicking ass and taking names.

I don't know how long it will last, but it seems like we're going back to running the ball through Boris instead of Jack. This is good.

[teej]

wedgies haha.

And "Theo will not score again this year"

8 points later...

[King Taharqa]

man Tyrus Thomas is so scrappy & active. That kid plays the right way.

[teej]

Diaw triple double watch: 16/7/8. all he needs is for Larry to go small :p and today, that might not be a bad idea.

And what on God's green earth was that last sequence? Holy shit. Do the referees know how what a whistle is?

[DCAWFAN]

this is terrible basketball both ways.

[Marvel]

Hallelujah DJ...

[teej]

DJ has a pulse...

And GW likely to play 48 minutes...or more. :facepalm:

[spectre]

Funny how they call that moving block by Smith on Jax a charge but totally ignore TT getting floored while standing still.

I don't like this...they're getting multiple chances. We need to want the ball more.

[DCAWFAN]

they just slaughtered djs last name.

[teej]

Funny how they call that moving block by Smith on Jax a charge but totally ignore TT getting floored while standing still.


From what I saw TT was still moving and not set.

Play Diaw...

[GoBobs]

If shaq played like craig smith he would be called for a foul every play. He gets away with a lot of shit by being under the radar. His only offensive move is to bowling ball into somebody knock them off balance and then get a shot up.

[Talent]

If shaq played like craig smith he would be called for a foul every play.
Smith seems like an annoying bastard on the court a bit John Starks like. Outlaw is just a wild player.

[teej]

I just looked at Jack's statline, it's so confusing as to whether he's been good or bad.

5 points, 1-12, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks, 5 turnovers, and 4 of his shots blocked.

WTF?

[Toocool]

TT with the massive elevation!

[BobcatsAllDay]

There is a milk carton somewhere with Jack's face on it. He needs to turn into a facilitator b/c the shot is just not falling tonight. The one shot he made was a layup.

[DCAWFAN]

Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 take jack outa the game.

[teej]

One more foul and Jack's out, it's all good.

[GoBobs]

He turns it over to much for us to look for him to set guys up. Get his ass out the game.

LOL at Diaw doing the pull the chair move on Kaman and Kaman falls down!

[Talent]

I want Jack to hit the game winner it would be fitting.

[spectre]

Nice hustle by TT to catch up to Baron and tip it out of bounds screwing up their fast break.

We seem determined to run it thru Jax.

[BobcatsAllDay]

I have never seen Jack play this bad, w/ or w/out the Bobcats.

[GoBobs]

will we ever learn to guard the 3pt line :facepalm:

[teej]

Thank God Jack is done. He needs a break.

[rsxnova]

Jackson tonight:facepalm:

[DCAWFAN]

if we lose this game jack is the reason.

[Talent]

I am pissed right now.

[teej]

Where the FUCK! was that foul??????

OMG that was a foul every day of the week.

[Talent]

These refs could die in a fire.

I am not mad at jack because he has done so much for us this season, but he fucked us tonight.

[teej]

Fucking horrible end to this game. Fuck these refs, they suck. Jeez. How fucking hard is it to call a fucking foul? Wow.

And Jack, get this game out of your mind. TT, you too.

[Toocool]

No idea why LB kept Jax in the game. :facepalm:
No idea why Jax kept taking shots when he was struggling.:facepalm:
No idea how Kaman just got the rebound.:facepalm:
No idea how that was not a foul on Augustin.:facepalm:

[teej]

If I had to pick a fixed game, this is the one.

Holy fucking shit. Wow. I honestly have no clue how any person can morally enjoy this Clipper win. Fuck Bill Spooner, Fuck Curtis Blair, Fuck Derrick Collins, and Fuck the NBA referees associations for giving us shitty refs.

[GoBobs]

Jackson has bad nights. He has had several like 7-22, 9-26, that kind of range nights. Obviously this night is a lot worse, but combined with his turnovers and his constant wining to refs he can't be considered a true star/ go to guy. Thats why I have been saying for months we should trade him while his value will never be higher.

[Maal]

Fuck Steven Jackson with a pool stick...Jesus, he really Jake Delhommed this game.....

[GoBobs]

at least the clippers announcers were fun to listen to. guess you have to liven things up when you suck constantly.

[Fred Williamson]

usually I'm pretty optimistic but now I really start doubting if we even make the playoffs. We need Flip BADLY and yes this trade sucked.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

I wish DJ wasnt our backup PG...

[Talent]

n/m said in anger....not worth the karma.

The Bobcats are a banged up team right now. THey need to get healthy.

[GoBobs]

I don't want to make the playoffs if we can't be better then the teams that lost to NJ, Mil, and the Clippers. At least then we would get to keep our draft pick.

[Talent]

I don't want to make the playoffs if we can't be better then the teams that lost to NJ, Mil, and the Clippers. At least then we would get to keep our draft pick.

Screw that I want the playoffs.

With the trend I expect a 20 point win against Utah......than another 20 point loss to a random team with an under five hundered record on the road.

[teej]

at least the clippers announcers were fun to listen to. guess you have to liven things up when you suck constantly.

At least Clippers fans HAVE announcers to listen to :facepalm:

God Almighty, I just want to erase this game.

We were this close to a win, Diaw was this close to a triple double (20/9/9), Gerald is back, and we lost.

Fuck it, it's on to the next one, and SirBobcat can only dream of fapping.

[teej]

I don't want to make the playoffs if we can't be better then the teams that lost to NJ, Mil, and the Clippers. At least then we would get to keep our draft pick.

Not necessarily true, if we're one of the two best records left out we lose the pick and the playoffs.

It's playoffs or bust. Bigtime bust.

[BobcatsAllDay]

Don't know what to say.

Jack didn't care tonight,

we missed Nazr in the middle badly,

Tyson Chandler was a money move it had nothing absolutely nothing to do w/ basketball,

when we traded for Theo I had no idea he was going to play this much,

Diop got hurt in 5 minutes of playing time,

what's DJ's ceiling?,

all the rumors point to LB leaving,

we're tied for 8th place,

have we ever won in Utah?,

we beat Memphis at the buzzer at home,

what's our record vs. Dallas?,

ok I'm done.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

That makes me happy actually

[Marvel]

Seriously i got soooo pissed off at the fucking refs that they didn't call a foul on DJ i turned my computer off......just switched it off at the wall.Fuck those refs,we lost tonight because obviously Jax had one hell of an ugly game and the refs shoving their whistles up their ass then only pulling it out when the Clippers pranced around like little tarts.
This game really hurts, seriously i'm getting a bad feeling we might get bumped out of the playoffs we got Utah and then Memphis on the road games which i'm so sure we're going to lose and then come back home to play Dallas which i'm 50/50 on.We are now sitting out of the top 8 for fucking crying out loud behind fucking Milwaukee ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
Excuse my language

[Toocool]

We need Jax. I hated him this game for being selfish and constantly taking shots and turning over the ball. But we need him. Plain and simple. I just wish LB would put faith in Hendo or Graham instead of digging us into a deeper hole when Jax was clearly having an off night.

Don’t Get Caught In The Air - NBA Playbook (http://nbaplaybook.com/2010/02/23/dont-get-caught-in-the-air)



Every once in a while, we take a break out from breaking down possessions to look at some fundamentals. Late in the Clippers-Bobcats game last night, you had two very similar plays happen back-to-back. Both teams had their respective point guard attacking the basket with help coming over. The Clippers scored on their possession while the Bobcats didn’t. The reason? Baron Davis stayed under control while D.J. Augustin got caught in the air.

We are going to first look at Baron’s play that happens with under a minute left and the Clippers up 2:


more at the link. also notice the comments...interesting.
