Orlando Magic @ Charlotte Bobcats 3/12

[ziggy]

I can sum up this preview in 3 words:

Primoz versus Dwight

Is there anyone out there that can give me a reason that the Bobcats will win this game tonight?

[tamburello]

I can give. In last game at home vs. Orlando, May had scored 32 points off the bench. And Trkoğlu will be playing with a broken nose, either wearing a protective mask or not. We may take advantage of these.
..........
Just joking :D

[123together]

howard will dominate the game cuz we have no one to guard him. he'll probably have like 30+ tonight. but at least we get better lottery position i guess

[Dead_Real]

Took the words right out of my mouth Zig Howard will dominate us it's hard for me seeing us getting a win tonight but I'm gonna stay positive.

Player of the game...Howard :(

PS - Is McMay playing tonight?

[ziggy]

I believe that McMay is playing tonight, I haven't heard otherwise.

[Mustachio]

we win this one tonight.

[ziggy]

we win this one tonight.
I love your optimism, but who guards Dwight?

[dvdbumpus]

I believe we can win this game. Orlando has gone 2-8 in their last 10. We played well and they had Stoudamire (although he was ejected). Hopefully Jake can put his best impression of Blockafor and make something happen.

May, I have faith in him (however small it is) that he can make a difference still. I do remember that 32 point game, and hope he can get about 15-20 with about 8 boards.

Crash, most definitely better be on his A game. They have nobody to guard him. Ammo better crush JJ Redick's beady little head off too!!!


Bobcats win, 94-92.

STICK MAN OVER THE FLU PLAYS THE GMNE OF HIS LIFE.
May eats two dozen doughnuts scores 50pts.
Felton breaks B.K. s knee , Caroll and MORRISON get to play.
And Jake puts a elbow in Howards face and take him out for the night .

BOBCATS win by a point a half court shot from May while eating his last dougnut.

[CaptainCrunch]

so how much longer is oaknasty out?

[dav7z]

THINGS LOOKING UP half time B.K. out for the rest of the game we up by 12pts and RERUNS doughnuts seem to be working.

[CaptainCrunch]

we are looking pretty good so far

[dav7z]

GOOD WIN ,MAY looked good just to be his 2nd game back.
D.A. has his first duble duble sience 2003 . He was the beast of old .
We play much better with out B.K. hes a cancer to the team.
FELTON ,WALLACE, MORRISON . CARROLL . . all duble digets
good win BOBCATS............ SORRY matt had just 9 foul truble but played well.

[CaptainCrunch]

very good win, we played really good and sean looked pretty good tonight ater just coming off his injury, but i still hope okafor gets well soon so we can start winning consistientily again

[Mustachio]

told ya so

[dvdbumpus]

told ya so


ha! Yea!!

I hate to say it, but when May is on, this team plays MUCH better offensively. His offensive presence inside opens up the guards much more, hence 56% shooting. I mean, come on, Crash was 4-4 on 3 pointers!! THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!

Derek, please keep this up, you're invaluable at such a cheap price and provide so much.

Did Primoz just shoot 8-13 on Dwight Howard and score 17 points?
Did Raymond just have more blocked shots than any other player on the team?

39 assists on 42 fg's made. That's impressive. Crash, felton and Anderson on a made streak.

Another thing of note, did felton just have two games shooting over 50% :o

[Fromage]

Good win. May looked good.

Okay strangeness reigns....BB must have been told by someone "its okay to win one"...the team played with tremendous balance tonight and Primo found his 2005/06 game out of nowhere, go figure, I'll take it; a very enjoyable game. BB actually kept bigs in the game, (when he took Primo out he put in Jake and vice versa, not DA or BK or Ammo; really!) and doubled Howard with Wallace often and it worked. Most of Howards points came during garbage time in the fourth quarter.

Don't get me wrong, we played awesome, but truly the Magic were bad. Somewhere in the 3rd quarter they were losing big but smiling and laughing on the court with each other; weird. Howard didn't bring his game tonight.

Darko must have stone hands; everytime the ball touched him it bounced off in wild directions, onetime straight up and I mean way up.

May was great; often when not in the game, he was on the sideline on a training bike, keeping the knee moving. You dudes are a bit rough on "McMay," he doesn't really look so big to me; bum knee yes, but his guts okay. He's important to the Cats and has a very nice game.

And lo and behold, late in the first quarter when BK was subbed in, it was for.....yup Raymond Felton! BB actually got it right! BK comes in so Ray can take a break, he's the backup point guard! Who knew?! Not once did I see Ray on the court at the same time with BK or McInnis, nor did I notice any of those wonderful 4 guard combinations that have been so effective for us.

Great game Cats.

[dav7z]

RERUN DONT PLY GOOG without his doughnuts ......

And the cancer will be out a while hes hurt again . Just think of the games won with the cancer and games won with out the cancer. ITs at least 3 to 2 with out B.K. PROBELY MORE

[DaFlameking]

i missed the game but im glad that the bobcats won a game to end their losing streak. i saw the box score and primoz had high points. i was like, wtf is this real lol

[ziggy]

told ya so
That you did... I will never doubt your wisdom again :biggrin:

[Mustachio]

I remember in our first year,,, when i went to the games... i always felt like we got a steal in Primoz in the expansion draft

a 7 footer with medium range and some hustle.

he lost that this year..

Last night he had 3 dunks, one very aggressive block and showed way more hustle than usual. very good game from him last night. actually played like a big rather than a 7 foot shooting guard.

DA had a great game.
and your right about May. he improves the teams overal offense. he is automatic from 20 feet slightly to the left of the top of the key. auto freakin matic.

I agree. I used to think Primoz was a steal because he did DECENT enough for us and cost nothing.

May, if you could only stay healthy and play consistantly, I would be on the bandwagon. Last night's game is all I ask for: 27 minutes, some points and stretching the d.

[tamburello]

I had expected a blowout... by Magic but we had stolen the show behind the arc. 14 treys.. 39 assists.. The match of the records.. Also %56 shooting, I wish Bobcats play every night out there, such as this game. Now time to take revenges from Kings and Clippers.
