Bobcats Summer league Thread

[Dead_Real]

Here you go we play some time today I think the bulls play first we play the Heat today.

http://www.nba.com/magic/news/06summerleague.html

[heelfan]

Cool. I think that they are supposed to tip off around 5pm.

[Dead_Real]

I have been watching the Indiana summer league game pretty good play but I wish I knew what the hell was going on they should have hired play by play man.

[ziggy]

I just started watching the end of the Pacers game... There are so many scrubs out there, that its hard to tell who is who.

[psycho]

In about 20 minutes, We\'ll have to hear the Morrison haters say... \"Hes only dominating them because its summer league guys\" :)

[Dead_Real]

Tyrus did a crazy dunk on somebody in the first quarter it got boring after a while.

[psycho]

Anybody else\'s video lagging?

[Dead_Real]

Morrison shot the little fade away who shot the 3???

[Dead_Real]

Is Felton playing???

[ziggy]

Thats Felton out there, I didn\'t realize that he was playing...

And I hate to admit this... But....

SEAN MAY LOOKS FIT

[ziggy]

I\'m also assuming that pony-tail guy is Walter Hermann from Argentina. Right?

[psycho]

How did you like that early 1st quarter blocked shot by Adam. If I did my math correctly that puts him on pace for about 18 blocks per game this season:P

[Dead_Real]

Nobody has really did anything besides Morrison and Felton, Felton has been getting to the line often. And yes I saw that block from Morrison. Sean May looks fit but the cam is not close up so I cant really tell. My stream fucked up before half has Walter done anything?

[Wallace15]

Halftime Bobcats-41 Heat-27

I like it

Were doing a pretty good job. That block by Morrison was nice. I didnt know that Felton was playing either until I saw the number 20 on the court

[Dead_Real]

Dudes on realgm keep calling Morrison a chucker

[ziggy]

My video stream choked... How did the Bobcats look in the second half.

[Dead_Real]

It was ok nobody really impressed me besides May and Morrison. May did a reverse lay up never seen him do that before. Bobcats over Heat 83-65

Morrison unofficial line....

12Pts, 5 Rebs, 4 Ast, 1 blk, 1 stl, 2 TO\'s

He shoot terrible- 3-11 (2\'s) 0-2 (3\'s)

Not sure if I would call that dominating?????

[Wallace15]

It\'s all good though because his shot will get better the more games he plays in the summer league. I predict that he\'ll shoot atleast 50% from the floor tomorrow against the Bulls, and if I\'m wrong well then damn.

[Dead_Real]

May played great tonight though, I was upset from the play of the guy from Argentina. I was suprised to see Felton play tonight why no B-Rob?

[ziggy]

As much as I enjoy bashing Sean May, It sounds like he did his thing in tonights game.

From the Magic website


The Miami Heat scored the games first points, but it was all Charlotte from that point forward as the Bobcats cruised to an easy 83-65 victory in the second game of the 2006 Pepsi Pro Summer League. Sean May led all scorers in the game with 22 points, followed by Adam Morrisons 12 and Alan Andersons 11.

[Dead_Real]

I\'m telling you May was beasting tonight put backs, and that reverse lay up was nice.

Just to let you know here is the Bobcats times for the rest of the week.

Tues. vs Bulls around 7-7:30 PM

Wen. vs Orlando around 2:30-3:00 pm

Thurs vs New Jersey Around 2:30-3:00 pm

Fri. vs Pacers around 7-7:30 pm

[Wallace15]

Yeah, Sean May really did play well tonight. He was beasting people, and I think he hit one or two 3\'s.
Adam Morrison did good but I was expecting a little bit more scoring from him though.

[Dead_Real]

I think Morrison will score better tommorow he started chucking in the 3rd quarter and his shots were not falling.

[Wallace15]

True, there were a couple of times when he drove inside and just put a shot up when he could easily passed it back outside

[psycho]

In my official-unofficial tally of Adam\'s stats I counted 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 blocked shot and 1 steal.

Even though his shot wasn\'t falling, he was able to contribute in other areas of the game.

I\'m with you brother!! I love to bash the fat man.

But why do I have a sneaking suspicion that McMay is going to make some of us look silly this year when he earns his PT and starts at the 4, EO50 moves to the 5 and along with Crash at the 3 make a seriously good front court?

At least we wont be the only two silly - a lot of people have questioned the McMay pick.

[tray]

What are you guys talking about?

Sean May dominated the summer league last year. Sean May dominated in college. Sean May dominated in High School.

Sean May\'s problem is staying healthy.

If he\'s healthy, he\'ll be a force in the NBA as well, because he is very skilled, ala Elton Brand.

You all talk about May like he\'s some slouch or something. Every time they step on the court in the summer league, he will be the best big man on the court.

[ziggy]

I hope that Rerun does prove us wrong, If he can ever get to the point where he could contribute at the pro level to the same degree that he did with the Tarheels, then he would be a great asset indeed for the Bobcats.
If that happens then there will be a lot of us who will have to admit that advocate4seanmay was right all along.

until that happens, I\'m still going to continue giving Sean May a hard time. :P

Sean May isn\'t a slouch, He just has a gland problem.:P

[Dead_Real]

In his rookie debut, Morrison finished with 12 points, four rebounds and five assists in 27 minutes. Alan Anderson tallied 11 points, Felton recorded nine points and four assists and Burleson scored nine points.

I had a little bit of jitters -- it was my first NBA-type game, Morrison said. I rushed my shot a little bit at first, but I thought the rest of my game was good the way I ran the floor and made some good passes. It was good to help the team get a win, and thats my ultimate goal. __________________________________________________ ___


I had a feeling Ammo was going to be a little to hyped about his first taste of NBA action. I know Morrison will put up more consistant shots tommorow, thats the official stat line for the people that are interested Bobcats go undefeated in summer league play is my predictions.

McMay was shot happy last season. Any time he touched the ball on offense, he shot it, no matter the distance.

He also got SMOKED many times on D. Playing PF means that he is going to come up against guy\'s like Brand, Howard, Jermaine, Bosh, Matrix, Dirk, KG, K-Mart, Sheed, Boozer etc who are all quicker and more agile than him.

I can\'t get the picture of Bosh taking him baseline at our home game last season time and time again, posting him up, spinning around him and dunking again and again and again (P.S. Bosh had 30pts, 11 boards, 5 assists and 4 blocks that night) and all McMay could do was stand there and watch. The day of the domintate centre has come and gone. The age of the dominate \"new age\" PF has just arrived though and McMay is an old school body type.

Besides Tray, McMay was selected at #13 of the \'05 draft.................the position your boy Green should have been taken!! There\'s enough reason to ride him right there!!

[ashy_larry]

:) Last night\'s box score :)

5:55 minutes of playing time for Ryan Hollins, but gooseggs across his stat sheet

[Dead_Real]

There is a play by play man doing the summer league games now the Heat vs Nets has been decent so far I think we have a high scoring game against the bulls tonight Tyrus wants more minutes...

[psycho]

I hope they let the play by play man do all the games tonight. It was hard to keep track of who was on the court for the Bobcats with all of those unfamiliar faces.

[Dead_Real]

Marcus Williams had a great game last night did you all watch? I want to see him match up with Felton on thursday.

[Wallace15]

Morrison 23 points at the half against the Bulls.
I\'d say he\'s doing pretty good in his 2nd game wouldnt you?

[ziggy]

I decide to go out and run errands instead of watching the summer league game online, and Adam Morrison proceeds to go off. D\'OH!!!!! Why do I always miss the good stuff???

[heelfan]

How is Sean May (The Summer-League Shaq) doing???

[buckethead]

heelfan wrote:

[Wallace15]

He\'s doing alright. I think he has about 8-10 points but the Bobcats just had an ugly 3rd quater. We had a 13 point lead at the half and now we only have a 5 point lead.

[ziggy]

Wallace15 wrote:

[Dead_Real]

We look lost without my boy Felton, Morrison is playing horrible now and the bulls are about to win if they make this next shot.:ohmy:

[Wallace15]

Game winning tip in by D\'or Fisher for the Bobcats. We should have won that one easily.

[Dead_Real]

^^^
I agree we shuold have won easliy once again today but I don\'t know what happened in the 3rd.

[Wallace15]

Well, Adam Morrison didnt even play in the 3rd I dont think, and if he did it might have been a minute or 2.
Our shots just werent falling in 3rd, and our defense was horrible in the 3rd too.

[Dead_Real]

Fisher had a good game I think he will see extended minutes if Hollins doesnt play tommorow. They sent Felton back to Charlotte which is probaly the best thing to avoid any injurys. I was expecting Morrison to knock down the little jumper at the end.:(

[buckethead]

I\'m guessing that Morrison ended up with about 30 points. He was on FIYAHHHHHH in the first half but cooled way down after halftime. But still, I\'ll take 30 points any way that I can get it.

[Dead_Real]

^^^
I wont take 30 he could have went 40 but he got exposed in the second half.

[buckethead]

Exposed how? In the 2nd half his shot just wasn\'t falling.

[Dead_Real]

^^^
On D, after that guy backed him down it was over for Morrison.

[ziggy]

Tonight\'s box score

Adam Morrison had 29 points instead of 30. He was 2 for 3 from three point range. Not a bad day at the office at all.

[buckethead]

Dead_real wrote:

Oh Yeah... The defensive end of the court. You\'re right, On D he wasn\'t exactly Bruce Bowen-like in guarding people. But, I have to hope that with some work he can become at worst a decent defender.

[Dead_Real]

Morrison was just on news14 I think that was from after the other game though.

[Advocate4SeanMay]

Sean May has another solid game. 50% from the floor, 7 rebounds, 100% from tri-fecta range, and all around cool guy.

[ziggy]

I like the fact that Sean May has the range to hit a three point shot if needed, but I want to see him down in the paint doing damage.

[dav7z]

May and Morrison had a great game.But no one had over 2 ass. Had Felton played the cats would have won by 20pts or more.

[heelfan]

With Felton in there its almost unfair to the other team.:)
One thing that I was disappointed in was the ball movement. Kevin Burleson looked horrible.

[Mustachio]

heelfan wrote:

thats because Kevin Burleson is horrible

[heelfan]

If we\'re lucky, Brett Blizzard will get Burleson\'s spot on the roster this year.
Watching Burleson trying to run the team is painful to look at.

[Wallace15]

Yeah, when I was watching Brett Blizzad yesterday I noticed that he has good ball-handling skills, and his shot is pretty wet too.

[Mustachio]

bring on the blizzard... if we drop alan anderson... and pick up brett... we would have serious contention in the best nicknames category if nothing else.

speakin of nicknames do we have a good one for felton yet... i always just call him ray ray

[Wallace15]

No, Ray ray is pretty much the only one that I\'ve heard.
We should probably make up another one.

[psycho]

Mustachio wrote:

Check out this thread, I think he should be called Raymond \"THE PIMP\" Felton.

[Wallace15]

Damn it..I want to be \"The Pimp\"

[psycho]

Man, I tell you, If really is \"dating\" Esther Baxter, Hes a very, very, very, very, very luck man.

[Wallace15]

Hell yes he is.

[Dead_Real]

Our game is about to come on guys...

[Wallace15]

Adam Morrison 3-10 shooting and 8 points at the half. Not the best stats but I liked that jumper he hit to end the first half, and the Bobcats have been getting a lot of offensive rebounds this game.

[Dead_Real]

My boy Curtis Withers with 13 points today I think he plays hard but he might not make the roster.

I think we will sign Brett Blizzard the boy can ball, I would also take a hard look at D\'or Fisher he is 6\'11 and he plays hard on defense and puts up shots in the paint. I think those are the two main guys the Bobcats will target.

Thoughts?

[ziggy]

Does Fisher play center? I\'m agreeable to anything that\'ll get Primoz less minutes on the court.

[djack]

Dead_real wrote:

Nice job by Withers, I think he has a shot at making the roster if Ely gets traded or is signed somewhere else.

How is Ammo looking in the 2nd half?

[ziggy]

Even though its just summer league, its still nice to get some wins.

From nba.com

The Charlotte Bobcats kept their perfect record intact on day three of the 2006 Pepsi Pro Summer League, topping the Orlando Magic 103-87 behind Adam Morrison and Sean Mays combined 40 points. Morrison notched his second 20+-point performance in as many days, pouring in 24 in almost 26 minutes of play, while May chipped in 16.

[Dead_Real]

Yea D\'or Fisher is a center he looks big on the court and he shows strenght with his put backs in the paint he saved the game last night.

[buckethead]

Here is today\'s box score. Adam Morrison was only 7-17 from the field, but hes getting to the free throw line in bulk. 10-11 today.

Dead_real, You\'re right on the money with D\'Or, I hope he sticks on this roster.

[Wallace15]

D\'or should definatley make the roster. He gets a lot of rebounds, and is good at put backs. Blizzard can shoot like crazy, and Withers was nasty in the paint today.

Dropping Alan Anderson would be the dumbest move ever.

Did you watch any of the second half of last season? Any?

[heelfan]

Ohhhh, I hate it when I have to do this, but I have to agree with Tray.
Anderson looked pretty good the second half of the season, He should definitely have a spot on the Bobcats roster this season.

[Dead_Real]

I agree with Tray also :ohmy: but Alan Anderson is to good to drop, I think we drop Kevin Burleson for Blizzard. Think about Ray, BK and Blizzard at the point and Blizzard can also play the two.

[heelfan]

Burleson has GOT to go.

[Slam]

The only problem I see with adding the Bliz is that he pretty much mimics what we already have in the Hammer.

Is there room on the roster for two players so alike in Blizzard and Caroll?

[Mustachio]

Dropping a guy who averaged a whopping 5.8 points a game on an injury ravaged second half of the season... is the dumbest move ever???

i didnt mean drop anderson and keep burleson... drop em both pick up blizzard and try someone else... no reason to get attached to a freakin 5.8 points a game player for god sakes.

burleson is gone ... im not worried about that, and i think anderson will make the team and i have no problem with that. but im not about to pass up on someone who would be more beneficial(someone who gives a solid preseason showing), just because the guy dropped an outrageous 5.freakin8 points a game(esp. since he was forced into more playing time due to injuries.)

Part of the problem with Anderson\'s numbers not being so good last season was that we had a coach with a man-crush on Brevin Knight ( I won\'t even begin to talk about the man-love that he had on Kareem Rush ). So he force fed BK minutes when he should have just let Felton have his 35 minutes at the point and let Anderson/Carroll fight over the minutes at SG.

[psycho]

Looks like the Bobcats lost 94-87 today, but I didn\'t see the video stream. How did Morrison, May and the rest of the Bobcats look?

[Dead_Real]

May had another great game he scored around 30-32 points today, Morrison had 20 if I\'m not mistaken he was productive. I would go out on the limb and say we lost the game today because of Kevin Berleson he put up like 4 three pointers and known of them went in. At the last minute Morrison tried to keep us in the game after going to the foul line but Morrison shot a bad 28 foot jump shot that had Sean May pissed off lol. With like 44 seconds left in the game guess who goes for a wide open 3, Kevin Burleson this guy sucks ass let me tell you. The only bad thing about the game was that it was reported that Sean May had soreness in his knee again and JB kept him on the floor late after a 30 point performance.

[psycho]

[Dead_Real]

JB stoped playing Steve Burtt all together but he was >>> Kevin when he was on the floor, he had a nice fast break play which showed his speed and he finished strong above the rim. I was pissed that JB didnt put Blizzard in the game until 44 seconds left but he had Kevin in there I don\'t get it. I think our two bigs will be back tommorow with Hollins and Fischer returning to action. Ammo loves the contact I might add, he went to the line like 10 times he just stopped shooting and drived to the hoop strong I love this guy. I wish he would have took over at the last minute of the game but he made two bad plays and Sean May started bitching at him *as the play by play man said*

[psycho]

Dead_real wrote:

Sean May needs to worry about his own game instead of bitching about Adam\'s. He should be glad that the Bobcats have a second player now that wants to take the big shot.. Raymond \"The Pimp\" Felton being the other one.

[ashy_larry]

30 points for May ain\'t a bad day at the office. As the \"veteran\" of the summer league team, I guess he was trying to take a leadership role with his bitching at Adam.
He better bitch at him while he can, because by the all-star break Seam May will probably be Ammo\'s valet. :P

[Dead_Real]

:laugh: Good one Clark, I don\'t think he was bitching but more of trying to fire up Ammo which seemed to work alittle but everyone seemed down today besides Sean May who was fired up and screaming after converting a lot of 3 point plays.

[Dead_Real]

Todays high scorers May nad Morrison

May - 32 points on 11-18 from the field and 8-10 FTs

Morrison - 31 points on 10-21 FGs and 10-10 FTs.

Bobcats lose 94-87 after big games from Antoine Wright and Eric Williams.

Morrison and May combine for 21-39 shooting, while the rest of the team goes 9-37 from the field.

On Sean Mays Knee

Charlotte power forward Sean May, who missed most of his rookie season because of a knee injury, said he has no plans of leaving the summer league despite experiencing some swelling and soreness in his surgically repaired knee.

For May, who is averaging 17.7 points on 47.4 percent shooting through three games, playing in the summer league has actually been good therapy for his head as well as his knee.

\"I knew I could come back and I\'d be fine, but being out here playing against different people and in different situations, there\'s just no way to simulate live basketball games,\'\' said May, who had 16 points and five rebounds Wednesday in Charlotte\'s 103-87 defeat of the Orlando Magic.

May has looked thin and agile, but more impressively, he\'s obviously added some range to his shooting touch. He\'s stepped away from the low block several times for mid-range shots, and he\'s even made two 3-pointers in Charlotte\'s first three games.

\"I\'ve always been able to shoot and find different ways to be effective,\'\' said May, the Most Outstanding Player of the 2005 NCAA Final Four for the University of North Carolina. \"In college, I was just more effective down on the block so I didn\'t shoot that much. But [the outside shot] is something I\'m trying to add to my game again.\'\'

[psycho]

10 more trips to the line for Morrison. One thing that we know for sure at this point is that he isn\'t scared of contact.

[ashy_larry]

Here is The Full Box Score
Who in the West Hell told Kevin \"hot garbage\" burleson it was OK for him to shoot 10 friggin three pointers?????

[Dead_Real]

Sean May\'s left Ankle is sparained reported by the people on play by play he will not return.

[djack]

How is Ammo looking?

[ziggy]

He didn\'t shoot well from the field, but he still wound up with 27 points, 12-13 from the free throw line.
Heres today\'s box score

[Dead_Real]

Him and James White were going at it the entire game, Ammo missed a shot in the second half and White said something to Ammo and after that Ammo went off and scored 27 tonight he went at there defense tonight and drawed the foul but we lost:( Pacers fans think that White got into Ammo\'s head but it just motivated Morrison to take it to him until the coach took White off of Ammo and back on Kevin Burleson lol the play by play people had me rolling they killed James White.

[ashy_larry]

I like to see a player who responds when people trash talk to him. I have a feeling that theres going to be a lot of people who get the James White treatmenr this year.

Kevin Burleson continued to be hot garbage. 1-6 from the field.
