Baby May

[dav7z]

In your openion whats the deal with May. Im a Carolina fan but im geting just a little tired of him not playing . Dam i have had seven knee seregys and have a aritifical knee now whitch is wore out. And they are trying to tell us hes not been able to play because of a bone bruise after being out this long. Do they think we compleatly crazy. What are your thoughts on MAYS so called injery.

[ziggy]

I suspect that its worse than they are letting on. If he doesn't make it back in the next week or two, I wouldn't be surprised to see them shut Sean May down for the rest of the season.

[123together]

i wish he was playing cuz he was such a solid person off the bench and definitely could have been useful against the clippers last night. i remember that game against orlando when he had 32 points. hopefully he'll be able to play a full season and contribute for at least 70 games

[dvdbumpus]

I know, I wish he could stay healthy and play like he did when healthy, and when in the summer league(same goes to Morrison)

[Dead_Real]

It sucks that May is always injured while healthy (as shown this year) he can be an affective player for our team.

[CaptainCrunch]

yeah he is a solid player when not injured but he has been out for way too long

[Slam]

This is two years in a row. Doesn't matter if he is the best basketballer in the free world, if he can't get and stay fit he's useless.

I hope we get him healthy long enough to show case him and then trade him.

I'd trade him and the Raps pick for Josh Childress in a milli second.

[dav7z]

SLAM good post i agree with everthing you said. I would love to have Childers a Bobcat . He just seems like he needs to be a BOBCAT. I would take him over the more experanced higher paid free agents coming out. I dont think any one has a idea how good he can be. As for baby May he got one more year to prove he can play or he will be out on the streets .[ DAM HE AT LEAST NEEDS TO PLAY 1ST GAMES OF BACK TO BACKS]

bill simmons brought up a great trade in his last article


Baby fat for Tyrus Thomas of the bulls. gives them the low post scorer they desperately need beside wallace... and gives us a great player. maybe the offseason i guess?

I would make that deal in a heartbeat from a bobcats perspective, but I have a hard time believing that the Bulls would be crazy enough to do it.
Hell, I'd even trade Seam May for Thabo Sefolosha at this point.

[rallydurham]

May's career is likely a wash.

He doesn't have much cartilage left in his knee. That's not something that's going to ever change.

He played too heavy for Roy's run & gun.

He's pretty talented, especially now that he's added a reliable jumper but he's never going to be able to play more than 40 games a season.

It's also a stretch to think that he'll ever be able to slim down since he's pretty limited when it comes to doing cardio.

I wouldn't extend him under really any circumstance

[ziggy]

Since we all seem to agree that May is never going to be healthy enough to play more than 40 or 50 games a season, what are our options with him?

I agree with rallydurham that we SHOULD NOT extend him under any cicumstances.

Maybe he can put together a 20 game stretch early next season that could convince another team to take a chance on him in a trade.

other than that, I don't see how Sean May's situation can end up positively

[ziggy]

Heres the latest from Sean May that I just read on charlotte.com

http://charlotte.com/140/story/35204.html


May told the Observer he'll miss at least four more games, the rest of this six-game West Coast trip.


May has been out since a Jan. 26 game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He had two procedures last season to remove torn cartilage in that knee, and cartilage acts as the body's shock absorber in joints.

May said each time he tests the knee in a hard practice, there's a setback the next day.

"It's not excruciating enough where I can't play,'' May said, "but when I do play in practice, I can't move the next day.''

[dav7z]

It looks like we stuck with him . But its no way to know how bad off he really is because the BOBCATS web site dont let its fans know nothing.
I think if the BOBCATS INVESTED A 100 K a year for some one to run the site right it would more than pay for its self in less than a year .
ZIGGY your site makes the BOBCATS SITE . look like a first grader runs it . You have a class site and its the best BOBCATS site ive ever seen.
THANKS ZIGGY great site. IF you like this site let ZIGGY KNOW

[ziggy]

Thanks dav7z, That would be a cool job to run their site, but theres no way that they'd let me do it. I have way too much fun picking on Bob Johnson and joking about Sean May's Krispy Kreme habit for that to happen. :biggrin:

[dav7z]

IF YOU RAN THAT SITE THEY WOULD HAVE MORE BUTS IN THE SEETS

That's a horrible trade for the Bobcats. Why duplicate what we already have in Crash?

I'd rather send the Fat Man to the Hawks for Chill. Like Dav7z said: "I dont think any one has a idea how good he can be" and short of "maybe" Vince and JRich, I'd rather have Chill than any other potentially expensive FA (Twan or Lewis for eg).

The other thing with Chill is that when we would have to renegotiate his contract outside of his rookie deal, he wouldn't cost the earth.

His style of game would suit our curent roster to perfection.

Agreed, it's way to much fun to pick on the team. You'd get canned in a week for trashing Bernie.

Love the site.

[dav7z]

I would give up our 2nd first round pick in a second to get Chill . I think it would benefit both teams. Dam its a deep draft but Chill is a perfect fit for the BOBCATS . like SLAM said.

Agreed, but is a steep price to trade for with a team in our division.

[sc0Nes]

the bobcats website is for the organization...to put up a front and post news related to the team. they keep up with numbers, community relations, and selling tickets.

this website is for the fans...to come talk junk about the hornets, felts' jump shot, and possible trades that will never happen. basically, anything that we want to talk about related to the bobcats, or maybe even not related to the bobcats. that's what makes this site superior.

EDIT
oh, and for the record, i think may is out for the year, and may be doomed to a short career where he plays 30-50 games a year for maybe 7-8 years, tapering off to like 10-20ish games in the last few years. i like the dude, but i don't think he's got the knees like everybody is saying.

[Slam]

Is it the knees?






Or the 578lbs of beers and doghnuts pushing down on them???

[ziggy]

This is from rotoworld

It doesn't sound like Sean May is returning from a knee injury anytime soon.
May has missed the past 15 games with a bone bruise on his right knee and said Wednesday that he plans to sit out all of the team's current six-game West Coast trip. May will be re-examined by Dr. Glenn Perry on or around March 8 before returning to the active roster. But if the examination goes poorly, you have to think the rest of May's season may be in jeopardy. If you're still holding May, it's probably time to get a healthy free agent off the waiver wire, like Jarvis Hayes or Bonzi Wells. Feb. 28 - 5:52 pm et

I know that I've said this before, but Gerald Green sure would look good in Bobcats orange right now. :-\

I think we can officially chalk up Sean may as an NBA bust.

It was even so obvious on draft day to get him.

[dav7z]

I think BABY MAY should play tomorrow . Its just a cartlidge thing its not like hes going to hurt it more. Play and then ice it . Its not like its causing him to miss the next two games. HELL hes not playing any way. He needs to ern some of those krispy cream doughnuts.

[Dillehay]

so what exactly is going on with him anyway?

Hes having swelling in his knee because of the lack of cartilidge following his offseason surgery... The lack of cartlidge combined with the fact that he isn't in the best shape to go along with rumored partying / drinking off the court issues are making many Bobcats fans considering him a bust in just his second season.

[Dillehay]

thanks, ziggy.

[dav7z]

Dam ziggy people with torn acls are starting to get better by now . This is a scam a hoxe a dam lazy player. A woose for a player . The organanation tanking the season. The BOBCATS screwing its fans . Two shots of chicken fat shuld restore the cartlidge. Notice the organation never put progress reports or nothing on thair site.
Dam people we getting hozed on this one and its about time to realise it. We are offilicaly tanking the season.

[ziggy]

According to this Charlotte Observer article (http://charlotte.com/140/story/46399.html) Butterbean has decided to wipe the Krispy Kreme glaze off of his fingers and return for either tonight's game or Monday night's game.

[Dead_Real]

I hope he plays tonight thanks for the update Zig.

[dvdbumpus]

I hope he plays, too.

When he plays, he plays very well...probably the most consistant often times.

Only problem is for him to get off his mcmay ass.

[dav7z]

RERUN put his dougnuts down slowly and stood up to play ball . Twenty mins later and 13 pts . Not a bad twenty mins but MAY did say he fllt week from lack of dougnuts and bud light . Whats a player to do.

[ziggy]

It'll be interesting to see if he is able to play on Monday, or if his knee stiffens back up and has to miss more games.

[dav7z]

They say its a game time thing . But unless that knee is swelled twice the size its spose to be hes playing. See he shuld have been playing a month ago . Hes just got to get use to the ice and the small amount of pain . A lot of NBA players play with a lack of cartlidge. DAMN its not a ACL or a MCL . iF he just loses weight he shuld be fine for the next 10 years.

[dav7z]

After two good games back is May still a bust and the BOBCATS try to get sonething out of him. Or should we keep him and hope we dont have to put up with injerys from now on. Damn HES GOT A NICE JUMPER.

[ziggy]

Hes good when hes on the court, he just hasn't prove that he can stay healthy for more than a 15 or 20 game stretch. I would still trade him when/if the opportunity arises.

[dav7z]

I would love to see him play the rest of the season , Scoring 15 to 30 pts per game . His value would be up . And it would be a great time to trade him.
Him playing like that and our 1st round pick may get us a 1st or 2nd pick.

[DaFlameking]

everytime he's back, hes on another injury. its so frustrating. wtf may?

[dav7z]

It hasnt been a week NO dougnut joke ZIGGY lol

[ziggy]

It hasnt been a week NO dougnut joke ZIGGY lol
Its killing me not to make any Sean May fat jokes. How many days do we have left? Just 2 right?

[dav7z]

2 I HOPE ITS KILLING 2

He lost his no donut jokes when he didn't play because of "injury". Donut jokes are officially allowed!

[dav7z]

RERUN [BABY MAY] Has missed the last two games with new health problems . We all know hes got a bad knee whitch lead to other problems . They all started last year. 1st its a trrminal problem Krispy cream Dougnuts any one thats ever eat one can tell you that. If you noticed the two games MAY played you could see the cream runing down his cheaks. Next came the bud light what can one say . A krispy cream dougnut is just not good with out a bud light. So all that leads us hear the reason RERUN missed the last two games . Hes got a new desease its called the DICKY DO desease. What it is , is the belly sticks out futher than his DICKY do. It causes all kinds of problems . Things like his belly sticks out so far he cant find his dicky so he pisses on him self . And a whole world of systems i want go in to .
But dont get mad at RERUN because of it . Im sure he didnt want DICKY DO and until he gets rid of it ever thing will be HARD to find.

[rallydurham]

Dude you are a complete schizo when it comes to May. 4 days ago you were loving him again.


He's experiencing difficulty with his knees. There's no reason to play through excrutiating pain when we're 10 games out of the playoffs.

May is never going to be an 82 game/year player with his knee/weight problems.

In order to keep him healthy next season we should just not let him play the 2nd game of back to backs, and give him an occasional game off. If we can get 60-65 games out of him a season thats fine, but these ~30 game seasons aren't very helpful.

It's a love-hate relationship. I find it frustrating because Othella can heal faster than him. He plays well, then just dissappears for a period of time. I think many can agree with me about May on having love-hate about him.

[dav7z]

I love to watch MAY as a player . No i hate May as a player . Hell i dont know damn BUMP you making me lose what little rep i have. lol

[tamburello]

There is a very good article about May at the official website.

http://www.nba.com/bobcats/paint_leonard_070321.html


This summer is a big one for me. Im going to try to get down to about 250 or 255 pounds to help take some of the stress off the knee. Right now Im about 265 to 268. I go back and forth. If I can drop 10 or 15 pounds it will help.
Will he really be able to do it?

[ziggy]

I have my doubts.

[Dead_Real]

He dropped weight before if he stays dedicated I think he can do it and keep it off...hopefully

[rallydurham]

Hard to lose weight when you don't have cartilage. Really limits the cardio options you have.

But with a contract coming up he certainly has the incentive to do so.

[Colin Fearn]

hey guys its me hibbert to cats i forgot my old account so this is my new one


i think that he could be able to do it because when playing professional ball, just dont eat the fat foods and you should burn off pretty fast
But even if he does who knows, once you hurt something and it doesnt completly heal theres always that chance of having that one spot just buckle or something. But ya i feel that taking off the pounds will help if it still really bothers him now. And yea like he said if your hurt your choice of workouts is also limited

:afro:roy hibberts afro is nuts

[dav7z]

Hope MAY makes it back but if he dont we going to get Hibbert.
Welcome back to the board.

[Aymi]

He needs to lose more than 10 or 15 IMO, he needs to lose 25-30. And for gosh sake's, when he meets us fans, smile a LITTLE, pretend he is actually happy about being here!

[dav7z]

Welcome to the board . Glad to have you with us. I agree i dont see where 15 pounds will take care of his problem. The more he loses the better chanch he will have to play in the league.
I am a Heel fan and ill tell you guys hes a Heel sissy. Any one let Harrington out do you as far as taking pain and playing with it thats bad. So far his NBA Carer has been set on the side line and watch no practice no nothing . Just doughnuts , bear . partys. He better get his shit toghter by next season or he makes a quick exit from the NBA.
