It looks like we'll be without Gerald Wallace tonight :facepalm:

What do you think our chances are against the NBA's version of the Axis of Evil?

Can we steal a win?

Steve Martin at around 9:30 tonight: and the buzzer sounds, your final score is Miami 112, Bobcats 91. Stick around for extensive postgame coverage and the thoughts of head coach Paul Silas next on Bobcats Live!"

[Plowright]

chances are not great... however im looking forward to it. Will be interesting to see how we play. No Crash means wade vs Hendo. I cant wait to see that, however matt caroll v wade, i can wait for...

[BlockParty]

We beat Orlando last year w/o Crash (and we actually matchup better against the Heat).

Helps having TTime back, hopefully he plays like he did the one game he started.

[ohara831]

I think we get our butts kicked tonight.

we lose by at least 20. and we don't match up well with the heat now that we like to run. the only way we match up with the heat is larry's system and grabbing control of the tempo.

[ammofan]

We are gonna win......

[teej]

We are gonna win......

:whenpigsfly::bs:

If we lose by less than 10 I'll take it as a win...

I am calling out the beast in K Brown and counting on him to be the best player on the court tonight. I was just reading the great games by scrubs thread over at real gm and it got me fired up. K Brown had a game back in the day where he scored 30 and pulled down like 19 boards. Okaydoakafor looked like prime shaq vs the heat already this year no reason K Brown can't do the same thing. Bobcats hand heat worst loss of the season so far.

LeBron on difference between Silas and Mike Brown: "“(Silas) gives a lot of freedom. ... He just wants to play basketball the right way"

Interesting quote by Lebron, wasnt that Browns motto " play the right way" Shows how a saying can have TOTALLY different meanings lol

Was it wrong of me to be among those cheering for LeBron during his masterful run in the 3rd? And smiling because it was happening at Jack's expense? I think I already know the answer, but I'm just tired of seeing uninspired, error-prone, incompetent play all year long that it's refreshing to see greatness. I mean I really enjoyed the game tonight. In years past I would be miserable and left after 3, but I wanted to stay to see the LBJ/Wade show, hoping LBJ would hit 40.

It's obvious this team is losing me...and quickly at that, and to be honest I'm not sure how much more I got left. It's just so brutal trying to get up for games when not only does your team not play well at all together, but you dislike the individual pieces as well. I mean, I look across the league and I see at least one player on each team that I like better than anybody on this one (yes, even Detroit and Cleveland).

But I digress. I applaud Matt and Dom who played hard and smart while they were out there unlike their teammates.

it's almost like it would be easier if the league contracted the bobcats. we could galvanize in stern hatred but at the same time find a new team to root for without feeling like a rat deserting a sinking ship. it's sad but the one thing i would be most upset about is not being so close to go see nba games live.

This is blasphemy and I will have none of it

Yep. I'm so wanting to be an outright Warriors fan since I've always had a soft sport for them going back to the short-lived Run TMC days of my youth through the Sprewell era, and Antawn, and JRich/Gil, etc. But it's easier said than done. When you've been a fan of a team when it was just a concept through 8+ years or whatever it's been, there's a bond not easy to break.

And I agree, that's what I'd be most heartbroken about at this point. What LeBron did last night in the 3rd, for example, was special stuff and I'd really miss that experience more than the team.
