Game 4: Orlando Magic at Charlotte Bobcats 4/26

[ziggy]

Any Orlando Magic fan that has the gall to walk into Bobcats Arena Monday night with a broom should have the shit stomped out of them... I think we can all agree on that.

Right now the Cats shouldn't focus on being down 0-3, they should just concentrate on the task of winning game 4. Let's take it one game at a time and let the chips fall where they may.

I'm not ready for the season to end on Monday night, and I know that you guys aren't either, so lets hope that the crowd is as amped up as they were on saturday and lets hope that the Bobcats give the people of Charlotte the win that we need.

For those of you not attending the game, you can catch a good chunk of BCP in the game chats (http://www.meebo.com/room/bobcatsplanetchatroom1/). even in defeat, those chats have been a blast in the first 3 games.


So what do you think guys, do we take game 4?

[jiff65]

and I'm not ready to have the season end tomorrow. I think the team needs to do everything possible to avoid a sweep. We've improved a ton this year. We'll be better next year.

Not sure what the Observer writers have been so negative about. Sorensen's "contrived crowd noise" comment really got my goat. What were they expecting from this team's first foray into the playoffs? Rome wasn't built in a day. The playoffs have only demonstrated what we knew all along. We turn the ball over too much and we're in need of one more player that can play consistent offense. And we need someone that can shoot a 3-pointer to help bust other teams' "crowd the paint" defenses. To anyone that has followed our team, these are obvious points. Sorensen can go back to writing about professional wrestling as far as I'm concerned.

Having Diop eat up $6M hurts, as does Diaw's lack of effort (or maybe talent?).

Let's hope Larry sticks around - we need some time to gel and we need some continuity with the squad we have. Let's take the next one from Orlando!

Go Cats!

And we need someone that can shoot a 3-pointer to help bust other teams' "crowd the paint" defenses.

This is key. Only problem is most of the players that fall into this category can't play D which is a requirement for a LB player. My only wish at this point is that we make this series (that 99% of the media believe is over) interesting.

[Toocool]

Those who can hit a 3 on our team:

-Felton
-UPS
-Hendo
-DJ
-Diaw
-TT
-Hughes
-Graham
-Cpt. Jack
-Crash

Of all those players, none of them are shooters (Well, Jax kind of qualifies for one). Closest ones to a 3 point threat we have is probably DJ and Jack.

[Marvel]

Only thing certain about this game is neither team is going to roll over.Even with a 3-0 series lead, Orlando will come hard with their brooms swinging.

[davcbow]

All I can say is I hope Felton and Diaw have the game of their lives....:cool:

I dont want our season to end yet!!!!!

Go Bobcats!

[Dcarnys]

Well let's just bring one home, hopefully our guys can bring it back home for game 6.

[GoBobs]

Last chance to show a national audience that we are more than an afterthought in these playoffs. I hope they team gos out there loose and plays like we have nothing to lose.

[Chrystos]

If we lose this game, i hope it would be Feltons and Diaw's last time in a Bobcats uniform. :evil-grin:

[SWedd523]

I may have 2 free extra tickets to the game tonight guys so send me a message if you would like them

[Dr. Blotter]

I don't want the season to end either, I realize that we need that one more offensively talented player that can play d as well. I am excited that the game is still on TNT, I was thinking if we went down by 3 they would move it. I hope LB and the team leaders can get everyone ready for tonight and we can take this game and give us a spark and hopefully bring it back home in game 6. I have loved seeing Crash on tv and i don't know about anywhere else, but my friends have started to understand why he is my favorite player in the NBA. All I can say is go Cats, and if your at the game, BE FUCKING LOUD! The crowd noise on Saturday was awesome and I loved seeing the white out.

Two observations from shootaround:

We're shooting midrange jumpers from the free throw line extended. They're team is camped out near the 3 point line..... Go figure.

How serious are they taking us? The Magic just spent 5 minutes seeing how many balls they could get stuck in the rim.

[BobCatsFanInTx]

Katy bar the door!!! The cats are not ready for the bright lights and big time.

Chalk this up as a humiliating learning experience. I wonder who will coach our guys next season. Whoever it is won't feel good about our 3 Centers and weak ass Weak Forward Diaw.

How serious are they taking us? The Magic just spent 5 minutes seeing how many balls they could get stuck in the rim.Based on how easily Orlando has won I don't blame them or taking us for granted. By the way Nelson's play is not some fluke. He was that way last season till he got injured.

Bobcats lose by 17.

[BobCatsFanInTx]

Next season will be one where the Cats will be focused and ready to make a real move.

[BobCatsFanInTx]

Jax has been great but his idiocy at taking quick shots is BS. I hope that does not happen next season.

[TOOT DADDY]

get diaw out:mad:

[ziggy]

Reminder: hit up the game chat --> http://www.meebo.com/room/bobcatsplanetchatroom1/

[Marvel]

This lineup rocks with TT and DJ all day baby.

I hope DJ's alright....he's alright

[WarioVsMooChicken]

I'm really hating this. Fans are cheering when Reddick looks like he could have just been injured. Now I'm not into college basketball, but this is just pathetic.

[Marvel]

Stupid offense

[polarcat]

found it a little funny that when Boris was shooting, his "role" on TNT's little bio was "Frontcourt Playmaker"....:facepalm:

He had a nice put back at the end of the half but including tonight, Doris has scored a total of ..... wait for it ...... 22 points.

throw in Theo's whopping 7 points and you have less than 30 points total from your starting front court through 3 1/2 games.....in the playoffs!!

come on larry....start Theo and either TC or Nazzy next game.

[TOOT DADDY]

DJ is okay lower back bruised stretching it out as we speak.

[Ghost Kat]

Disclaimer: If this turns out to be the last game of the season,It's been a pleasure sharing the ups and downs of the season with you.

Next, Fcuk the Magic and especially JJ redick just because i love how the crowd Boo's him. :biggrin:
Capt. Jack is playin bad, Diaw is a pussy, Tyrus needs to start, DJ is probably paralyzed. Blah Blah...Larry Hughes

Hey CarolinaKat,

Fuck Felton doing the same thing dribbles too deep

[BobcatsAllDay]

Jack must be waiting for the 4th to get going.

[jdsingar]

It looks like VC is trying to take over the game, lol. That can't inspire much confidence in Magic fans now that the "Foul on You" strategy has been exploited and Vince's effort in showing heart looks like Gerald Wallace playing on a bad ankle with a fever.

[kickazzz2000]

This lineup rocks with TT and DJ all day baby.

I hope DJ's alright....he's alright

Perhaps tyrus should have had diaws minutes ALL FUCKING SERIES

[davcbow]

Well what can I say? We had our best season ever and made the playoffs finally. We have nothing to feel bad about. Next year we should be even better but we still are a couple players away from being a contender. Its been a great season guys and I hope we have many more....:cool:

Go Bobcats!

tribute to the Bobcats!

[SWedd523]

Lot more empty seats tonight. Lots of ignorant Cats "fans" at the game. Overall crappy game. Started with 3 bad passes and I knew it was going to be rough from there.

We did fight back though and showed a ton of heart. I've said it before and I'll say it again. We can go ahead and trade Jack. Send him to a contender trying to get over the hump in return for a young guy that can put up some points. DJ can take Ray's starting gig. He's shown grit and heart all series and can save us money on Ray's contract.

Crash is a god as far as I'm concerned. He twisted his ankle or something in the second quarter and faught the rest of the way and still played well. Tyrus WILL be resigned or I will flip shit. He's our starter next year and has earned it. Give him the PT and let him grow into his role. Put Boris in that Jack trade and let's be done (even though he did play better tonight than he has in games 2 and 3).

TC has grown on me. Name him the starter and let's go from there. Don't bother with Zombie. Use Nazr and Diop as backups even if they don't play well because we might as well get SOMETHING out of them.

[BRNC]

I'm disappointed for our players...I'm sure they wanted some wins out of this series...but I'm glad the team made the play-offs and I certainly enjoyed the ride this year...just got back from the game and like SWedd I was frustrated to see some empty seats but oh well...
