Charlotte at Indiana Pacers 12/30

[ziggy]

I don't know how you can follow up the excitement of last night's game. You don't get triple overtime victories over the Lakers with Kobe dropping 58 points every day. What we can do that would be almost exciting s start our first winning streak of the season. Hopefully our players won't be too wiped out after playing extended minutes last night then travelling to Indy today..

What do you guys think? Is tonight the night for the start of our winning streak?

[dav7z]

I would love to think thet we could back last game up with the effort we had last night. I look to see a lot of tired legs to night. But i all so think the confidence we are starting to have as a team might start a streak.
This would be a great game to give Hollins a chance . And our bigs doing nothing[ Premo, and Ely] Look to see May have a good game back in his home town if hes ready to go.

[tamburello]

I don't think we have a chance tonight. Hope to be wrong, but after playing 3 OT's last night, we cannot recover that easy. At least Felton can't, after playing 57 minutes :o And we don't have his back-up yet, Indiana won last two matches against Houston and Detroit, they have no injured player, so we should look for starting a winning streak vs. Minnesota.

But even if we lose tonight, our confidence won't fade. LA Lakers match was really confidence-booster.

[Wallace15]

Damn, that game last night was insane, 3 OT's. Dont think we can win this one tonight. Our players will be too worn out after last night. Didn't Felton play something like 57 minutes?, but hopefully Ammo can find his shot tonight. He was a mere 1-15 last night :-\.

[Dead_Real]

I'm hoping we can pull out another victory tonight I've heard around the net that the Pacers looked great last night against the Pistons.

[ziggy]

I like the start that Adam had in the first quarter. He had 8 first quarter points on 2-4 shooting and a few free throws... Hes still following the pattern of shooting well on the road and poorly at home.

[tamburello]

We're far more better than I expected. We lead 54-50 at halftime. Adam has maybe played the best first half of his career, 17 points with 5-9 shooting and 6-7 ft. Raymond hass eye-popping 10 dimes, Mek has 7 rebos and 3 blocks. Matt is as efficient as always with 8 points.

If only Gerald and Sean don't have 3 PF's each.

[dav7z]

We are holding our own and Morrison looks good with 17. We need to get more out of him and hope MAY GOES OFF IN THE 2ND HALF. Im sure we have some tired legs. Hang in guys we might steal one...........................

[ziggy]

Ray's 10 assists in the first half is impressive. I get the feeling that hes going to put up some huge assist numbers in the next month with Brevin out with his abdominal injury.

[ziggy]

:hysterical: Nice... Rick Carlisle gets tossed from the game for mouthing off to the ref. Rick, don't let the door knob hit you in the ass on the way out the door. :biggrin:

SAY GOODBYE TO BK'S STARTING PG JOB! MUAHAHAHA

[djack]

aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnd just like that in a 5 minute burst by the Pacers, our 13 point lead is history

[ziggy]

:dribble: :hypo: :cry:............ I hope that sholuder injury for Gerald wasn't as bad as it looked. At first glance it looked dislocated, but I hope that isn't the case.

hold on..

latest report is a right sholder sprain.

[CaptainCrunch]

Awesome win, first back to back wins of the year, maybe we can keep this up...could someone make me a walter hermann signature please?

[djack]

Its official. We're the proud owners of a shiny new 2 game winning streak :funkybanana:

Ray (10 points and 19 assists) is on his way to making Brevin Knight completely irrelevant.

In addition to Ray going off there were also big nights by Emeka Okafor and Adam Morrison ( career high 30 points ). He has got to be the streakiest player to come into the NBA in a long, long time. Hes either on Fire or Ice cold.

[Dead_Real]

If only Ammo could have this kind of night more often all and all great win even when they made a ran we held them off and ran with the victory in the end good job Cats.

PS - Felton should be the starter no questions asked even if BK is healthy.

[dvdbumpus]

ding fwies are done ding fwies are done! oops...wrong BK. Say goodbye to mr. BK and his manlove. Now that he's backup on a bad team I hope he asks for a trade :biggrin:

[tamburello]

We can definitely say goodbye to Brevin's starting days. Raymond rocks. He equalled Indiana's total assist number by himself, 19 8). After Brevin's return, if Bernie still starts Brevin as PG, then I'll totally understand that he's a dumb. 19 assists is a career-high for Felts, and one assist shy of Bobcats FH 20 assists a game(set by Knight twice). But we still need a back-up. :)

And Morrison, he's really rocking at road. Only one point shy of Bobcats rookie record 31(set by Felton last year). Just keep going Adam.

Charlotte Bobcats let my prediction fade, and I'm so happy and proud of this victory. That's our first win-streak since the and of last season, since our so-called 4-game winning streak. Our shooting percentages are shining, 50% from floor and 8-12 from downtown :o :o. And what's more, 7 of our 9 wins came against over .500 teams. I cannot find an explanation to that.

Now we have a good chance to extend our streak to three games. We'll face Wolves two days later. Go Bobcats.

Kudos to the Bobcats - major congrats....especially when all the excuses to lose were right there for you.

Felton is working his butt off, Okafor is asking for the ball and scoring inside...Sean May is back hitting that sweet jumper and slipping underneath for rebounds and put-backs...Matt Carroll has emerged as a seriously dangerous outside shooter. He rarely misses good looks.

And when AMMO goes off like this; well, that's a lot of weapons on the court. Fear the stache.

We lost our lead I think when mostly subs were on the floor.

NBA coaches in general, not just Bernie, seem notoriously conservative and slow about making some choices that are obvious to us out-of-the-loop fans. Maybe they're just too in-the-loop. In our case its sitting Primo and Knight in favor of Felton and May. Sad it took BK's injury to get that going...BK and Primo off the bench give us nice depth behind Felton and Emeka, but don't give us much when they're all on the court at the same time.

I hope Wallace isn't out too long. He's our warrior on defense and sportscenter highlight reel on offense.

Thank you Bobcats for 2 great games. Can't wait to see you Monday night vs. KG and Foye! Go to the spa and get those tired muscles rubbed out....

Good point, They could have blamed tired legs, playing back to back games, just coming off of a triple overtime game, crappy referees, having a dumbass for a coach :biggrin: or any number of things. But they sucked it up and outplayed a decent Indiana Pacers team.

It was a good win, and showed character on the Bobcats part.

[dvdbumpus]

Fear the stache.


Fear the Stache!! WOO! :biggrin:
