If the Bobcats lose ??? to injury, then we\'re doom

[ziggy]

Who can the Bobcats absolutely positively not afford to lose for an extended stretch this season to injury, if we\'re going to make some noise?

I thought about it today, My First thought was Raymond \"I have Esther Baxter back at the crib\" Felton (Damn, this guy really needs a nickname. But after thinking about it, If Ray went down, we could survive with Brevin running the show, he doesn\'t have the offensive firepower that Ray has, but he\'ll do.

What about Crash? It would hurt to lose Crash without a doubt, hes the heart of this team and he really gets the team and the crowd going, but I think that B-Rob could step up to be a poor-man\'s poor-man\'s Crash... kinda.

Ammo? Hes going to spend at least the first half of his rookie year getting adjusted to the NBA, so his true impact probably won\'t be felt until the second half of the season.

The person that we absolutely positively cannot lose is Emeka. If he went down, I think Rerun could fill in nicely on the offensive side if Emeka went down, but the Bobcats interior defense would be completely busted. We\'d be back to having a 6\'7\" Gerald Wallace being our best interior defender. And you can\'t have that situation if you want to be a team in the playoff mix.

They can\'t afford to lose Ray, If he goes down, then thats going to put Kevin Burleson on the court for 10-15 minutes a game as the primary PG backup, and only bad things can come from that happening.

I don\'t think Felton will miss a lot of games next season I\'m praying the same wont happen with Emeka this year he needs to be on the floor and become dominate. If OK50 goes down or is not 100% who will step up Premo or Hollins? Lets hope it doesnt come down to that though.

We\'ve seen Primoz\' defense :sick: It wouldn\'t be him.

If they lose Gerald Wallace for an extended amount of time, then the Bobcats are doomed. The team doesn\'t have the same \'edge\' without G-Force in the lineup. You can tell by the look on opponents faces that he really frustrates the shit out of them.
