Charlotte at Boston 11/8

[ziggy]

After a good win against the Cavs on Saturday night. The Bobcats get a few days off before they play the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.

Celtics
PG Sebastian Telfair
SG Wally Szerbiak
SF Paul Pierce
PF Al Jefferson
C Kendrick Perkins

Bobcats
PG Brevin Knight
SG Raymond Felton
SF Gerald Wallace
PF Emeka Okafor
C Jake Voskul

Bernie could instead go with May/Okafor at the 4/5, but with him you never know.

This is a good chance to get back to .500 and if we aspire to be a playoff team then we need to win these winnable games.

[Wallace15]

The Celtics are 0-3 and I think we do get to .500 after this game. I haven\'t seen the Celtics play but by looking at their stats it looks like Wally and Paul are the only people we need to worry about.
With Wallace on Peirce I think we have a really good chance at winning this game.
Thier post players are nothing to worry about with Emeka down low guarding them.

I really wish we would go with this line-up

Felton
Morrison
Wallace
May
Okafor

More than likely it will be

Knight
Felton
Wallace
May
Okafor

I dont like having Voskul in the starting line-up, and has anyone noticed that Morrison\'s defence is a lot better than people say or is that just me?

I\'ve noticed that... A lot of the doubters were saying that he was going to be such a huge liability that he wasn\'t going to be able to stay on the court.
I haven\'t seen anyone isolate him and repeatedly light him... yet.

It\'s definetly a winnable game. I was one of the doubters of Adam. I didn\'t want to draft him, I\'d have taken Roy, but still I have been impressed with the teams D. And when they play Adam he\'s been been holding up his part.

If he can shut down Lebron, I think he gets a trophy for that, and should shut down many of his doubters.

Boston looks as the worst team in the East. However, they might look at this match as a \"streak starter\" match. We need to be careful. Other than that, there are no ways that they can stop us. If we can slow down Pierce, I believe we have a high chance of winning.

Pierce is leading his team in points(24.7), rebounds(13.0 !!) and assists(4.3). It\'s Crash\'s job to get this stats down.

I also like to see May as our starting PF and Okafor at C.

Does anybody out there NOT want this as our line up?

[djack]

The only person that does not want that lineup is......

Gave you some Karma for that one!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Wonder if Bernie will make it all season?

[Advocate4SeanMay]

*Knock on wook* I think the Bobcats win big.

Gerald Wallace leads all scorers
Sean May 10+ rebounds

Yea I wish also that was the line up too. Well I was not awar that Morrison was playing better defesne then people said, I was more aware that he is a better player that I have heard them say. If Morrison keeps this up, he will win ROY, and furhter our chances to the playoffs

has anyone noticed that Morrison\'s defence is a lot better than people say or is that just me? I wish that was the lineup, though who knows you never know maybe he will use that lineup. I have not noticed that Morrison defense is better then people said it was, I have seen that his is a better player/shooter then people predicted.

[Mustachio]

i think the thing about ammo that ive noticed so far is he is way quicker than i thought he would be. he has a nice burst, not overall fast but really quick when he wants to be. Hes gonna be good, hes just gotta get confidence and a little adjustment here and there.

on defense i think he stuggles greatly chasing a guy running through screens and trying to keep up. straight up though, hes consistent one and one and i think he takes it seriously, and hes just a 3 game rookie so he will get better.


as far as the lineup goes. ideally i think

felton, morrison, crash, emeka, brezec.

that gives you bk, carroll, anderson, may, ely, harrington, coming off the bench.

[ziggy]

I read in the paper that they are going to go with
BK / Felton / Crash / Okafor / Voskul as the starting lineup tonight.... Even with Primoz out I can\'t see Voskul in the starting lineup. May/Okafor makes wayyy more sense than Okafor/Voskul.

Exactly, what the hell is the point in Voskul starting? May and Okafor are a way better combination. Last game Voskul started he played 15 minutes scored 2 points and fouled out.

[heelfan]

Emeka is starting off strong with 6 points and a handful of rebounds............ Please let Mek stay healthy this season:P

[ziggy]

One thing that we learned from the first quarter is that the alley-oop isn\'t in Adam\'s arsenal. That play wasn\'t pretty.

[Wallace15]

Good first half. From the stats I\'m looking at Emeka is beasting. Can someone tell me how everyone is looking so far?

[ziggy]

Adam is having an off shooting night. Nothing spectacular out of Raymond, Brevin or Crash.
May looked good in limited minutes.
Emeka is destroying Boston\'s frontcourt. He isn\'t getting a ton of blocks like the last few games, but hes close to a double double at halftime.

[heelfan]

The Bobcats are having some sloppy ball handling in the 3rd.

Also Boston is taking advantage of the size that they have at the SG position.:unsure:

[Dead_Real]

Felton is hurt

[Wallace15]

Damnit, we are sucking ass in the 3rd. They are tearing us up right now.

Hurt his back and won\'t return. I hope this isn\'t something thats going to keep him out for more than just this game.

[Wallace15]

OVERTIME!

[Mustachio]

first of all the refs were harsh on oak in the waning minutes.

second of all BK is balling. maybe the bk hate will subside for a while.

[Wallace15]

Damnit, who on Boston hit the winning shot?

It was Delonte West.

Now tell me. WHY in god\'s name is Knight getting the call to make the game winning shot?

Now while Knight\'s been shooting well, why does he continuously get more shots then nearly all the rest of the team?

[Wallace15]

Damnit, I dont know if I\'m right but didnt they hit a game winning shot on us last year too?....I think it was Paul Pierce.

FUCK

[heelfan]

Brevin is Bernie\'s man pure and simple.

Anyone ever wonder is Brevin is Bernie\'s son? They do look awfully similar and would explain all the man love.

I think it\'s the same goofy smile.

[777rak]

Tough loss, Okafor had a good game though.

[Jonathanmartin7]

Wallace, and Adam had horrible games. Emeka just went crazy. I hate to lose any game, but I really think we should have been able to beat them. They just had 2 guys go off on us. 35 points each what happend to the D.
