Chicago Bulls vs. Charlotte Bobcats 1/2/08

[Keetch]

:biggrin: LOL there's a home game tonite yikes! (didn't we just play the Bulls at home like 2 weeks ago! :crazy: I've got tickets and totally forgot about it...

Too late now!

Apparently the Planet has forgotten as well. We need a setup post! Tell Vincent who to play at PG!


-- The Bulls game is Wednesday night 1/2 :biggrin:
-- Ziggy

[Muttley]

Never Fear!

Game's tomorrow night. I'll be there, sec 209.

I just noticed that JRich and GW have been speaking good things about each other in interviews after yesterday afternoon's game. Cohesion with those two is gonna be critical to the development of this team in whatever direction it goes from here.

Go Cats! I think it's gonna take more than the Indiana game.

[Keetch]

LOL DOH jeez NBA.COM fooled me. I saw the game list and didn't notice it said "Wednesday" on the tab above. Okay I'm an idiot.

Well, I can't go tomorrow either :P

Ziggy feel free to delete this thread if someone would prefer to start it over **crawling back into my hole**

[Muttley]

This thread took a wrong turn quick.

[ohara831]

Muttley: You are right about J-Rich and Crash. I was really concerned the first month about how they did not seem to be meshing on the court. Lately, they have been, even in losses. I do feel better about that part of our game.

[davcbow]

The meshing has to take place sooner or later so lets hope this is the beginning of a great relationship between GW and JR Now lets get the other 3 to mesh along with them and all will be better in Charlotte..... :g:

If those other 3 are McInnis, Felton, and Okafor then I don't see it happening. If those other 3 are Felton, Okafor, and Mohammad then I can see it happening and want it to happen.

D'OH!!! :banghead:
its fixed now.

[davcbow]

I dont want McInnis anywhere but on the bench.... :g:

[Wallace15]

I dont want McInnis anywhere but on the bench.... :g:


Amen

[Muttley]

I dont want McInnis anywhere but on the bench.... :g:


Amen


Yeah, if only WE were coach.

If any of us were coach we'd be at least a .500 club right now.

[dvdbumpus]

Mcinnis starting has to be the most mind boggling thing I have ever seen in my life. The guy is not even brevin knight worthy. Put in Dudley or Matt. Please. If you want a small lineup put them in.

[dav7z]

Its no way we can come even close to wining this game if we are starting Mcinnis in the back court. Gordon and Hindrick will have a field day. Im sure Felton will be put on Gordon whitch Gordon will win because Felton isn't alloud to shot the ball now?
No way Mcinnis can guard Hindrick or any one else.
Wallace and Deng should be a good match up .As well as OK50 and Wallace.But ok needs a little chip to win that match up .
Our lack of beanch scoring and and starting Mcinnis will prevent us from wining two in a row. Hope i missed this one bad and we pull out a win.

[spectre]

Im sure Felton will be put on Gordon whitch Gordon will win because Felton isn't alloud to shot the ball now?

He isn't? Dag...I thought this week he was a shooting guard! Of course that designation changes from game to game, so who the hell knows? Maybe next week starts early.

You're right tho; Deng and Gordon are the guys who always kill us.

17-15 Bobcats

Rich is off to a fast start with 8 points and the 2nd best lookin player is...Mcinnis http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/7485/smileyy2aj9wj8.gif

LOL, dont tell us you have a new favorite player since Primoz left.... :g:

[WarioVsMooChicken]

I wonder who will become my new favorite player :g:

Anderson or Dudley maybe...

[dnbman]

I love the tempo. We're pushing the ball pretty good, looking to score in transition. Hopefully we keep it up.

[Melanie]

This is encouraging! It's looking like they should be able to get a win here.

Go Bobcats!

[davcbow]

Up by 8 at the half, hummm ok, can this be the start of a winning streak or more of the whinning streak? :g:

Go Bobcats!!!!

[Wallace15]

57-49 at the half. The way Crash is playing(10pts, 7rbs, 6ast) he should definitely get our first triple-double in Bobcats history tonight. The whole team is playing great right now. We're shooting 51%, winning the rebounding battle. Great first half.

[Dead_Real]

Jeff went out of the game again and we went on another run again (why am I not surprised)

Good first half though overall for us good D and we continue to run on the Bulls on offense that's great to see hopefully they'll keep it up in the next half.

[Dead_Real]

Ray having his way when he drives to the basket.

Yeah, but you got to give it up: McInnis has been playing fine tonight. For the most part, he's been looking to push the ball. He's still been a little conservative for my taste, but he's been playing pretty good.

[Dead_Real]

wow our D just fell asleep this half.

[dnbman]

wow our D just fell asleep this half.


I can tell you what happens: they make a little run and our offense stagnates. Suddenly, instead of just balling, they start playing tentative. Then they lose energy on the defensive end.

We need to go out there now and ball like we did in the first half. We can't let up.

[Dead_Real]

^
True Bulls stepped on the defensive side as well and Smith can't seem to miss a damn shot for them :(

[Melanie]

We can't score for anything. This sucks.

[babyj42]

we look tired... it might be because we give no run to dudley and no run to hollins... that young energy especially from hollins could have done some good with noah (who is a total jackass by the way)... they got hot and we got cold... if i see wallace take one more three however i am gonna flip... same goes for mcginnis touching the court... he adds nothing... why we didn't try to put oak on noah i have no idea... vincent is starting to worry me (i might start calling him radio)... even try davidson for some minutes for all i care

[davcbow]

We are still on the Whinning streak...... :g:

This SUCKS!!!!

[ReesieNCPantherCatfan1]

LOL Radio is quite fitting. :D How else can you explain McInnis getting so much PT

[ohara831]

Again, nothing from Okafor. I think he is trying to get traded now. He just refuses to play like we know he can play. Something is bad wrong here, guys, it smell really bad.

[ziggy]

Something is up with Emeka, I just have no idea what. I wonder if theres some injury hes hiding and trying to play through, because this last 15 games have been the worst that I've ever seen him play.

on tonight's game... I would just like for once to see one of our guys do something to slow down Ben Gordon when we play the Bulls. Whenever we play them, Gordon plays like hes sold his soul to Reggie Miller in exchange for his jumpshot.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

DAMMIT BOBCATS YOU DID IT ALL WRONG!

The real way to lose is to do awful the first half and good the 2nd, not THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

[MattD]

disgusting game

[Wallace15]

I'm so fucking tired of losing like this. First half we're great. Shooting well, defending well, outrebounding them, everything. Then we come out in the 3rd and it's like we forget how to defend anyone. I've never seen a team that blows as many 10pt+ leads like we do.

Oh, and Okafor, YOUR NO WHERE NEAR WORTH A MAX CONTRACT!

[davcbow]

Mek is letting us down by playing bad and V is also letting us down by playing McInnis and his unusual line ups.....Get a clue coach, please just get a clue.... :g:

[Muttley]

Just got back from the game.

Observations:
Emeka didn't look to me like he did not WANT to play well, score, block, rebound, etc. He just looked like he couldn't score. Maybe Mokeski's the problem.
Also, McInnis himself doesn't make me angry. His being on the court makes me angry.

[TheBeagle]

Thoughts:

1. Two guys can't win a game by themselves. Period.

2. What defense are they coaching during practice? Not only is there no progress being shown, they are beginning to look even worse as the season wears on, and that is always a direct reflection of coaching!!! At least there was no shitty zone tonight (that I could tell), but our man is somewhere even worse. I can only imagine how excited teams are when they play us, knowing that any backdoor cut or screen and roll will end with the ball in the basket or a trip to the foul line. The worst shooting and worst scoring team in the league lit us up for crying out loud!!!! Not to mention Noah's performance. Geez....

3. As another game attendee, like Muttley, I didn't perceive any lack of effort (or I should say, any more lack of an effort than has been displayed most of the season) from Mek. He has trouble handling the ball, and has a primitive post game, therefore the lack of points. Also, he was switching off and having to jump out at shooters tonight more often than I've seen, which resulted in his few rebounds, even though 8 isn't terrible. Also, 2 blocks which is on average. By and large, his game has regressed this year, but tonight's game wasn't any worse than normal, nor was his lack of effort. Though, for all I know, he could be pouting because he knows his big payday isn't going to come after all, but I think he's a better man than that.

4. Didn't have 1st level seats tonight, and went solo tonight, and actually had a great time. Ate some chow outside the practice center on 1st level, watching the 1st quarter on one of the TVs, then went up to the 2nd level and got to basically pick where I wanted to sit in section 229. I settled on row L, and I was impressed at how good the view is. I even went up to the last row, and it wasn't terrible. Also, there's more personality and more noise up there. Dare I say, first level is overrated? After tonight, I'm thinking so :g: (Then again, I don't have the Keetch seats, so I'm sure that'd sway my decision...

5. Just to reiterate what I posted a month ago, we're going to really struggle to get 30 wins this year. It's just.....I don't know....a miracle is needed or something.

6. I applauded GW's tech at the end of the game when he shoved Gray to the ground after being fouled. Also, when he was leaving the court there was none of that fraternizing going on with him and Bulls players, he just jerk the headband off, and trudged off to the locker room. Very good sign to see that losing is pissing him off as badly as it is us.

7. I disagree with babyj42 on GW's 3pt shooting; if his shot is off, then he should drive to the hoop more often, which he normally does; but he was on tonight, shooting better than 50% from 3; I don't understand the criticism for a couple of reasons: 1. 3 points are better than 2, obviously 2. Driving to the hoop recklessly could result in an injury or a TO; except for one lost possession in the 1st quarter, GW was in absolute control of the game, and really was the floor general tonight. I vote for GW as point forward!!!!!! At least we can get McInnis out of the lineup. :wink:

[Edrow]

Beags,

The upper deck is where it's at. Sec 222 is where I roam, and last time I went I won a free Bojangles biscuit! Gotta love the common folk seats!
