Charlotte Bobcats at Phoenix Suns 2/4

[ziggy]

Tonight at 9pm, we have the Phoenix Suns.

Without Gerald in the game tonight, this is not going to be easy. If we want a win against these guys we're going to have to scrap and fight for 48 minutes to get it.

What are your thoughts on tonight's matchup?

It should give Dudley more experiance and help the team debth in the long run. Wallace is a big loss and we will be hard pressed to come out on the road with a win tonight.
I am just hoping for inproved play , solid rotations , and no Mcinnis. BUT i hate Suns fans and would love to be able to talk a little trash about them . Like they talk about us on a regular basis.

Pretty much what I was about to post dav7z about Dudley it'll be nice seeing him get more minutes tonight. Without Crash if we expect to win guys like Hammer, Felton and Okafor need to step it up big time I expect J-Rich to get his numbers reguardless.

Im not holding my breath is all Im gonna say about us playing the Suns.... :g:

We played extremely well short handed against the Nuggets until the 4th when we collapsed. Playing short handed again, I think we will continue the 4th qtr as we are playing an up tempo athletic team. I do not look for this one to be too competitive. I'm sure we will try hard, but it likely will not be too close.

I'm not very optimistic, so we'll see how this goes..... Maybe I'll be in for a surprise....

Dudley and felts are playing well, we'll see if we can hang with PHX, as I just dont see us running with them all night. Okafor is taking quality shots though and wither making them or gettin fouled

[twebb]

wow barbosa already has 19 with over 6 mins left in 2nd

[davcbow]

4 pt lead, Im lovin it, hope it lasts.....
Play your hearts out boys.....Hurry back GW..... :g:

meltdown!

I think we we're Crash's defense away from actually being able to play them close. We shot well, outrebounded, just couldn't do anything to stop an excellent team on a hot night.

On a small positive note, and I do mean very small (we lost by 14 and it wasnt that close late) we had a good game from Ray tonight. I can't help but think that this would happen from him way more often if he is our primary point guard. Jeff played backup minutes tonight and Ray played well. 19 points, no turnovers.

6 turnovers from Oak. Yikes. Of course, on most nights I think half of the other players turnovers are passes to Emeka that he isn't able to hold on to.

Only thing to be said about this game is that sometimes the gods are merciful; this roadtrip from hell is over....FINALLY!!! Plus, there isn't another game until Friday. Ah...like I said, sometimes the gods are merciful and can end (at least temporarily) the suffering :bowdown:

[davcbow]

AMEN

I was surprised how well the team played without Crash. It was a real solid effort by all 10 guys who played. Okafor, Nazr, J-Rich and Ray all stepped up again. The bench who played all scored and contributed. I have to say I am very proud of the effort!
