This guy HAD to have been molested by his father or uncle or something as a child, seriously.

His article makes it sound like we lost by 40.

[ohara831]

I bet he likes to pee in the pool, too. Not one positive note. He could have pointed out 10 good things also, but NOOOO. Jerk.

[spectre]

A guy who rags on Felton thru the summer yet totally ignores one of his best games...not that he had any credibility before, but now it's confirmed.

I saw a LOT to be happy about this game, yet he does nothing but pull out the bad.  We played pretty darn good man D esp. on the perimeter...even JRich in stretches.  Felton battled thru the screens to stay with his man (how often have we seen Primoz get switched off and get beat?) and that IMO made a world of difference.  If nothing else we've lost the defensive liability in having BK in the lineup with Felts.

I don't care for the 2 pg lineup, but I have to admit Touche' did a decent job on Redd in the latter stages of the game...and it's obvious Felton's best shot is with his feet set.  I don't think that's the main reason though, but more in trying to bring more perimeter D into the mix.

Bonnell tried very hard to bring us down after our FIRST opening win ever.  Screw him.  I'm still smiling.

I agree totally Spectre. Except for the FT%, I was very happy with our starters. J-Rich came alive in the 4th, just when we needed him. Oak was solid, Wallace his usual self and I was very pleased with Ray! IMO, one of the best games I have seen from him overall as a Bobcat. I wish our bench was better. Carroll, Dudley and Herrmann did not score well for us at all. Our 4 big starters did great.

Are you convinced Primoz should start at 5? I don't know. Not sure about Hollins. Maybe try Oak at 5 and Jermareo at 4 for a game or so, just to see. But Primoz just kills me. Did you see late in the 4th when he's out there chucking from 15-18 ft? What the he-- was that about? I'm yelling at the TV "Get him off the Court, NOW!!!" My wife thought I had lost it and was ready to call the men with the "little white jacket with no arms".

Bonnell needs to take a walk across 277 in rush hour.

you're a cold man, Chabber. True, but cold!!! I only wish I'd a thought of that line first.

LOL... and a well deserved +1

No positive comments as usual fuck Rick.

I have never been a fan of Primoz...ever.  If it was me I'd probably try every other route before he became the starter and utilize him as a 2nd or 3rd big off the bench.  That being said, I can understand V's worry about fouls.  Last night we were darn lucky that Bogut went instead of Mek; don't know that we could have pulled it off without him (even with the missed FTs).

Now is that a legitimate concern?  In some instances I can see it, but in others I could see where a great PF like Bosh could get him in foul trouble just as easily.

At least Primoz did D up against Bogut a couple of times.  He needs to learn that all he has to do is stay in front of him and let Mek & Crash's help D take care of it.

We need them both...so who starts really doesn't matter.  Just give Davidson/Duds some PT and maybe we can limit the PT for both.

Make that +2!

[qchoops]

But would anyone be going fast enough during rush hour for it do any damage?

[chabber]

On 277 yeah, it's like a madhouse. Sometimes there are people dodging in and out of lanes trying to merge and get to their exits. It's hard enough not to let your car get hit. ;)

[Muttley]

Brett, I'm surprised that you don't have any mph at rush hour vs. not rush hour stats to support your argument.

I mean, really, you always have good input and I really dig your game analysis. I guess there's no "rush hour on 277" game tape and box score to go to in this case though.

[qchoops]

That's on my to-do list. :wink: I was ignorant on this one, because I am never on 277 - 77 to 85 to 485 for me. And the way 77 turns into a parking lot some days, I was thinking 277 would not be much of a test for the old man. Sounds like it is more similar to 485 (the northeastern part, not down by ballantyne)

I've got a plan to sort out this Bonnell fellow, it involves honey and fire ants, maybe a peacock or two just for good measure. I'm also going to need someone to supply me with those wooden tongue depressers used in doctor's offices. I have a horrible phobia about wooden utensils so I'm sure that Mr. Bonnell might and should have the same.... who in their right mind wouldn't have a phobia of wooden utensils? After the supplies are read, I'm also going to need a ride down to Charlotte, and a Lobster Johnson costume just for good measure. Positivity will be Bonnell's new middle name!

:g:

[dvdbumpus]

I think we should harass his every post. Please see my comment:

"Rick, You are a deutsche" on the responses.

You'll also notice many people wanting to petition him, because he's useless. Ban him!

[TheBeagle]

Being that I've got no use for the fellow, I'm happy that this thread has turned into more of a discussion of traffic patterns and obscure comic book characters.

That said: Shrimpy, I missed the second issue of the Lobster Johnson miniseries. How bout getting me a copy?
:biggrin:

Beagle! As soon as I get back from visiting this lady friend of mine I'll see what I can scrounge up for you. I need to redownload all the old Hellboy and it's spinoffs, haven't read them in far too long so hopefully I can help us both out!

[dav7z]

Some one please tell me what in the hell him and the ovserver have against the Bobcats .
No damn wonder it wasn't a sell out . Because all the negitive storys they wright about us.
I just quit buying that damn paper because that kind of shit. Ill just buy the Gastonia Gazette. Screw him and the people who publish that trash.

I think that's the ultimate and correct response to his treatment of the 'Cats: if you have a subscription, cancel it and tell them why; if not, stop buying it at the vendors, and maybe email the rag and tell them why. As bad as the newspaper print industry is struggling, this sort of reaction really will hurt them!

And Shrimpy, thanks man!! It's been a while since I've reread my Hellboy and BPRD trades, hopefully I can get around to it too, especially with all the crazy-good stuff going on in Mignolaville. They were supposed to put out a Hellboy companion to help sort out some of the big revelations made recently and put the stuff chronologically, but they keep adding to the mythos, so I don't know if they'll ever be able to put it out without it being irrelevant by the time it sees print.
