Felton should start tonight against the Nuggets

Boneell says Felton should start tonight against the Nuggets. The little point guard is tough as a nail.

We need him badly for tonight's game. Anthony Carter has really been stepping up lately, and AI is still one of the best in the game. Even with Felts playing we're looking at JRich on AI OR on Carter.

Going to be interesting.

Bobcats guards Felton, McInnis cleared to return (http://www.charlotte.com/bobcats/story/445668.html)

as well as Derek Anderson.

Cool. I'm good with seeing Felton get his usual minutes, because I've seen him play through pain/injury before. I hope Jeff's minutes are significantly diminished, though.

Mcinnis' minutes should be like a fart in the wind.

Our inside game should be beneficial to a victory tonight. Nazr has been a godsend with his recent play. Hopefully J-rich guards Iverson and not Jeff. That would be awful.

Just think, if Vincent goes with his "default" lineup that would put Crash on Martin and JRich on Melo.

That could end up being very brutal.

We don't look to match up well in this game even with Felton starting. If Mcinnis ends up starting two match ups look real bad. Our best chance is
Felton, Rich, Wallace, Okafor, Nazr,
With Hammer . Hollins and Dudley coming in.

good news to hear. hopefully he can be effective tonight. there were too many turnovers against detroit due to players not knowing where defenders were (especially when they were behind them) and getting "ripped"

[davcbow]

Felton -yes, McInnis-please no...... :g:

[MattD]

ray and jeff were out there warming up, right now sean may is shooting with zero bounce in his step

[MattD]

ray had 15 assists id say he was there!

Wow, that's an interesting stat. Any chance of getting him to be our Point Guard?

No! He's obviously best served as our starting shooting guard with his spectacular fg % ::)

Aaaahhhh, I see.
Why didn't I see that before?

There's a smell of hope in the air...


Bobcats coach Sam Vincent said he's now comfortable with Emeka Okafor and Nazr Mohammed playing together, without getting in each other's way in the post. They need that option, defensively, to avoid stretches like the first half -- when the Nuggets shot 61 percent and scored 40 of their 68 points in the lane.

From Bonnell's "observations".

Nazr + Mek = Less Touche'. After Felton's 15 assists last night I think we might actually struggle through without the great playmaker.

[Mustachio]

it really sucks that we dont have a true point guard on this team

And with Carroll's recent return to form, that should mean that Matt is the first guard off the bench. Probably not as a back-up to Raymond, but hopefully still getting more minutes than Jeff.
