Seattle at Charlotte 11/10

[ziggy]

Charlotte is 1-3 and Seattle is 1-4.

The final word hasn\'t come down yet, but I don\'t expect to see Ray in Friday night\'s game. Back injuries are tricky, and if you aggravate it you can turn something minor into something major.

the lineups will probably look something like this:

Charlotte
PG Brevin Knight
SG Matt Carroll ( Bernie\'s too stubborn to start Adam )
SF Gerad Wallace
PF Emeka Okafor
C Jake Voskul

Seattle
PG Luke Ridenour
SG Jesus Shuttlesworth... A.K.A ( Ray Allen )
SF Rashard Lewis
PF Chris Wilcox
C Saer Sene

I\'m especially interested in seeing Sene play, there was a lot of hype around him around draft time this summer.

All in all, I think the Bobcats have a good chance to improve to 2-3.

Well, once again we play a team with a worse record than ours and I saw the Sonics play against the Lakers and Ray Allen has been stroking. So if Wallace can contain him just a little bit and not let him get more than 20 points I think we win this game. Emeka>>>>>>thier post players. Thier post players should be nothing to worry about.
Pretty much we contain Allen we win. If we dont then we lose. Thats just my opinion


2-3 here we come......hopefully

no kidding, we should be able to win this, espically since we are home

Can was just move Wallace of to SG, and have May play SF?? I think that would be an excellent defensive/offensive set.

Allen will be the SG anyways so Wallace will be guarding him. Sean May has nearly the same height but 50 pounds on lewis. May is quick so he should compensate and dominate inside.

I think May should dominate if he plays the SF position. Voskuhl handles the dirty work and Okafor gets to do what he does best. I\'d rather have Voskhul/Ely out there instead of Carroll or Robinson.


Of course, this is all assuming AMMO doesn\'t get a starting nod.

A night before, Sonics lost to Orlando thanks to a miraculous jumper my countryman Hedo Turkoglu. They are becoming better as the season goes. Remember that we couldn\'t stop Szczerbiak-Pierce duo(70 points combined). How on earth can we stop Allen-Lewis duo? Since the other role players are much better than Celtics\', I\'m not so hopeful about this match.

But who knows? Maybe Adam plays the best game of his short career, scores 30+ and Emeka also destroys Sonics\' frontcourt. Go Bobcats.

[Mustachio]

I agree Tamb. how in the hell are we gonna stop those two if we cant stop freakin Wally and Paul.

I know one thing. it aint gonna be by playing Sean McMay at the SF position. no offense bumpus but that would never work. Lewis would absolutely DESTROY Sean at the SF position. dont get me wrong i think May is playing great right now, and should probally get the nod to start this week. but at PF not at SF. hed get eaten alive.

I think Bernie will start adam so all this is a moot point.

BK (playing well even if UNC fans wont admit it.)
AMMO
Crash
May
Oakafor

Thats not a bad lineup really. We shall see... as long as bernie the douche doesnt do something stupid and go with this lineup... which at this point i would not doubt for a minute.

BK
Carroll
Bernard
Crash
Oakafor.

sounds crazy, but bernie would be the guy to put that lineup out there.
which brings me to my next point... Ziggy, wanna help me start up FIREBERNIE.com? maybe.

[Mustachio]

ewww so close....

tonights starting lineup is


BK
AMMO
Crash
Oak
Voshkul


why we are still starting jake after 3 very below average performances is beyond me. but its bernie.

[djack]

Its great that Adam is getting the start. I don\'t think that he\'ll put up big numbers though, he has a much better chemistry with Ray.

[Wallace15]

Pretty good 1st quarter. 22-20 lead. Morrison already has 6 points with two 3s

[djack]

6 first quarter points for Adam, and for those that say he doesn\'t play any defense, he already has 2 steals.

[Wallace15]

Very good half in my opinion. 46-42 lead at the half. Were shooting better at the foul line 10-11. Morrison already has 3 steals. Hopefully we can keep playing like this in the 2nd half.

[heelfan]

13 points and 7 boards at halftime for Emeka,
If Okafor can keep playing like this, he\'ll get all-star consideration.

[djack]

5 minutes left in the 4th the Bobcats are down by 10 87-77 and Adam is ICE COLD, 2-10 shooting and still sitting on 6 points.
Emeka on the other hand is still on a roll with 18 points 14 boards and 3 blocked shots ( please stay healthy )
Why does Sean May have only 17 minutes to this point???????

[Mustachio]

Sean May didnt play because i think he was pretty bad in the first half. didnt seem like he was all there tonight.

Bernie continues to put our worst players in for extended minutes together in crucial late 3rd quarters.

at one point we had

bernard robinson
matt carrol
alan anderson
walter herrman
and mek

on the floor at the same time.

but this time i think he pulled the starters because they werent playing with any intensity or effort.(maybe a little mutiny) except for mek, he is definetly gonna be in for all star consideration if he keeps up the blocks. he looks like he wants to throw anything and everything that comes near him. playing stellar defense.

freakin disappointed, we need some wins.

In those 17 minutes he shot 4 of 6, and had 6 boards. He did, however, have 3 TO\'s. He also wasn\'t in foul trouble at all.

Overall it was just bad adjustments, like the mentioning of having all but 1 backup in.

*cough* coaching change *cough*

THis team, with the exception of a few players, need to step it up and get a fire lit under their ass.

I\'m sure that lineup struck fear into the hearts of the Seattle SuperSonics...

Emeka is playing fantastic, but any coach who would put these 4 on the court at the same time isn\'t rying to win:
bernard robinson
matt carrol
alan anderson
walter herrman
