Charlotte Bobcats @ Boston Celtics 3/21

[dvdbumpus]

Alright guys, we're always in competition with the celtics, and tonight should be no different. THey have Paul Pierce back and he's on fire. Can anyone else believe we have NEVER beaten the Celtics on their home court? I find it amazing we can be the spurs, mavs, and nearly every other team on their own home court but not the lowly celtics?

Tonight's game will hinge of Crash, Walter, and Raymond IMO. Crash has been playing lights out, Walter needs to continue his brilliance on the boards and behind the arc, and Raymond: you are so frustrating. One game I see great play, the next I see 6-20 shooting, and some dumb as F*ck drives to the hoop. Which Raymond will come to play tonight?

Tonight I predict a rough one, with Al Jefferson picking us apart with his physical play. Hopefully Jake can contain him and our guards decide to rain fire on the 3's.

Bobcats win a wild one: 102 - 95 in OT.

[CaptainCrunch]

we looked good last night and i hope that our guys can keep the momentum going into tonight's game against a boston team that is struggling this season. even though this is a back to back night game i think we will win this one by 14 and i think g-force will go off for 32 tonight

[Mustachio]

can someone get me an injury report.... sean may playing,? oak? Hollins? Ok so hes not injured but i cant think of any other logical reason he shouldnt play at least 25 minutes.

Spying on the Cavs was fun, so once again if you want to spy on the opposition, check out the game thread at CelticsBlog (http://www.celticsblog.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=64&topic=2253.0). Its an excellent site by the way.

A correction needed :). We have never beaten Mavs neither at home nor on road. Mavs one of the 5 teams that we've never won a game.


Already without leading rebounder Emeka Okafor (calf), forward Sean May (knee) and guard Brevin Knight (groin), guard Derek Anderson was a late scratch with swelling in his right knee.

Their status for this game is uncertain.

I have mad respect for celtics fans, they are some of the truest fans out there. If we only had their fan base dedication :(

Haha, On their board someone has Gerald Green for 45 points. If he does that, I'll eat my laptop.

Oops. my bad. I'll rephrase: We can beat excellent teams on their own courts, but can't be lowly teams with worse records?

[Dead_Real]

Wallace vs Pierce will be a interesting match up to watch out for If we can somehow contain Paul and keep him from having a highlight reel type game I think we can leave Boston with a W tonight.

[123together]

i think the cats will win tonight because g-force is a true baller.

[Slam]

Not sure about you guy's, but I'm still on a buzz from last nights win!!!

Got to watch out for the Celts. They are a good long range shooting team and our on ball D usually blows

[Slam]

Felts looking for his shot early and often. The last lay up attept wasn't great but other than that he looks ok

[Slam]

Pierce is lighting us up.

No wonder with BB making Felts guard him!!

[Dead_Real]

We don't look good out there tonight at all

[Slam]

Jefferson is giving us fits.

[Slam]

Twiggy comes in and 3 mins later he's taking it hard to the rack and throwing down a dunk!!

I'm digging the kid.

[dvdbumpus]

Raymond guarding Pierce? WTF?!?!

Herrmann hasn't scored, but he's done other things like get boards and pass well, and I respect that.

I'm digging twiggy as well. Once he gets some seasoning and learn from Okafor, I think he'll be a solid player.


I think we need to bump up the energy level, Twiggy and crash need to pump up the team. and we need to GUARD PIERCE AND JEFFERSON!!


P.S. That www.dewsaw.com (http://www.dewsaw.com) is a godsend for letting me watch the games :biggrin:

[ziggy]

54-39 at halftime. Thats just putrid.

Adam is 1-6 from the field, we sure could use one of those dynamic 2nd halves similar to the T-Wolves game from him tonight.

[Slam]

Primoz looks way out of sorts.

[ziggy]

Primoz looks way out of sorts.
You mean that he looks like he always does?

[Slam]

True - but he looks gassed and really unsure of what is going on.

[dvdbumpus]

Primoz looks way out of sorts.


He looks like he's gonna die on the sidelines - he's heaving as if he's about to have a heart attack.

[dvdbumpus]

Brevin's getting schooled every time Rondo has the ball. Rondo is blowing by him every play.

[Slam]

That's what I thought too Bumpus.

Spying!!? Really. Zig, I should have known you would be over here on this eve soliciting nefarious activities by the pale moonlight. Seriously, I wanted to stop by, register and wish all of you the best this evening. It's nice to see you folks have the same sort of stressfest on game nights we do over at CelticsBlog. It feels just like home to me. Here's looking forward to brighter days for both of these clubs. Nothing would please me more.

I'll try to get over more often. Meanwhile, I want to congratulate all of you for your contributions toward building this fine Bobcats community. We'll be telling people about you. Of course you are all invited to come visit CB anytime you wish too. Why, you can even register over there, get involved and not have to sneak around spying. We won't tell anyone. :D

Ziggy, stay in touch.

Good to see ya on the boards. I'm certain we'll keep in touch with the board and promote you guys as well.

[dvdbumpus]

We've got a 3-point lead! :biggrin: :biggrin:

on 2nd thought, make that 6 on felton's 3 :afro:


On 3rd look, make that 9 :D

Anyone else notice Alan Anderson is deceptively quick? He's driven past the entire celtics team whenever he drives.

[King Taharqa]

Great come from behind win boys. BOBCATS!!!!

[Bob Day]

Eeeeekkk! :biggrin: Congratulations and handshakin' all around. Go cats!

[ziggy]

Welcome Bob and feel free to stop by anytime!

[Mustachio]

yeah anderson is playing better since his stint in the d-league... that drive and up and under with the foul was nice early on.

im not so sure the celtics didnt tank this game.... seemed a little fishy to me thats all.

If the Stick doesnt start next game ill be pissed.

[CaptainCrunch]

i'm really proud of the bobcats. winning two straight without okafor beating the 2nd best team in the east and then boston the next day even though boston is having a bad year playing in charlotte the night before makes it difficult to win on the road the next night. We are defenitly out of the playoffs now with the loss of okafor and that 8 game losing streak plus bernie being fired but we just keep on playing and i love how the team is looking and with a solid draft this year, the resigning of g-force and mc hammer, and a key off season free agent signing our team could be looking really nice next year. i'm pretty excited about next year and a hopeful playoff berth

[CaptainCrunch]

King Taharqa awesome sig man

very nice, did you make that?

[Dead_Real]

Great come back victory for the Bobcats tonight Felton showed up late hit some key buckets for us I liked what I saw late in the game by the Bobcats. We could have played way better early on in the game but I'll take a W anyway.

[Slam]

i'm really proud of the bobcats.

I frigging LOVE reading stuff like this and agree 100%

yah I made it, thanks.

[Fromage]

another great win! if it wern't for November and our most recent losing streak (when Mek went out) we'd be right in the thick of the playoff hunt this year. this team always finds new ways to make me proud. and the bench - standing and cheering, that was awesome.

Go bobcats!

[Fromage]

and i'm soooo ready to graduate past "kareem rush" .... geez.

Once you hit the 50 post mark, you will lose your Kareem Rush-ness ;)

[Fromage]

sweet!

one more note - a lot of talk on the ESPNtalk shows that Boston threw the game.

I think this is what they'd like to believe. Keep on Celts, you'll get Oden if you continue like that.

[Mustachio]

i hope they get the 6th pick in the draft even after tanking. scumbags


on a related note i pray to whatever god will listen everynight that we get the number 2 pick in this years draft. no pressure, and either way you get a star player.

[Keetch]

The Celtics are SO tanking games...and in so doing totally screwing with their ping-pong ball karma. They are SO picking 5th...

uh-oh Okafor out a month with a "strained calf"? LOL
