I LOL'D

[Mustachio]

TAMB WITH THE THROWBACK THREAD! thats genius dude. well done.

I think the bobcats pull this one out too. we are final 1/3 of the season heroes. always seem to get it done once we are eliminated. the bulls might not play starters full minutes to assure less injuries. i just dont think they will put up a huge fight in this one. either way. Go bobcats.

[dav7z]

Great thread tamburello, Old times coming back, Got to belive BOBCATS 35 wins this year. Crarlottes frunt line just to much Bobcats by 10.

[spectre]

Hes there. Beware, and dont go there"

Tamburello awesome thread! The only one I can think of that could possibly be better was the Indiana RGM gamethread last week...and that one only because it was full of pornstars.

http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=645239

Actually, yours is better...but we ARE talking hot pornstars here.

[ziggy]

Awesome game thread Tamburello, some of those old pics are hysterical. Derek Anderson's pic looks like an old prom picture :hysterical:

[123together]

those pictures are awesome.

but i think the shorthanded cats will lose this one to the balanced bulls

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Walter is going to have to step it up because it looks like Gerald isn't playing...

[Dead_Real]

I think we can still pull out a W tonight without Crash like WvsMc said someone will have to step up I'm looking at Fabio, Emaka or Ray to do so.

[tamburello]

Thank you all guys for your nice and encouraging words about me. I'll probably complete the Bucks and Knicks game threads, but I cannot say anything for the next season. Because that kind of thread is taking a lot of time. Thanks yet again..

[King Taharqa]

Go Bobcats!

[nckat291]

Great thread!!! Especially the bench and injuries.... humor is a fine thing in life.
And I am also quite excited that it is on TV tonight - looking forward! A real good friend lives in Chicago and I'd love to call and give her a hard time because the bulls lost. I owe it to her for all the times the panthers lost to the bears! Yes, I'd gloat that the Bobcats won!!!

[ziggy]

There are lots of overconfident fans over at Blogabull (http://blogabull.com/story/2007/4/13/19114/6226#commenttop). Its going to feel good to give them a loss in their own building. :biggrin:

[Dead_Real]

^^^
No doubt Zig

I'm just waiting for Fabio to put somebody on a poster he's a beast when he drives to the hole.

[Dead_Real]

Not a good first half for the Bobcats we have to step up our D

[ziggy]

Man, We are getting our asses kicked... Down 14 with 3 minutes to play, Not having Gerald Wallace really hurt us tonight.

[dvdbumpus]

Wow, game sucked tonight. It just goes to show that Crash has been carrying us and leading us post all star break.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

I think we could have won without Wallace if we had other people healthy. Also, surprisingly for the few minutes he played, Harrington actually looked pretty good.
