[ziggy]

Tonight we get the Utah Jazz on their home court. The Jazz are 30-4 at home, The Bobcats are 6-27 on the road.
The Jazz are led by legendary coach Jerry Sloan who has coached twelve 50 win teams (on his way to a 13th), Hes made 16 trips to the playoffs, won six division titles, made two trips to the NBA finals and won over 1000 regular season games. He is one of the most respected coaches in the history of the NBA.
The Bobcats are coached by this dude

I've got no reason for optimism, but I think I'm actually going to watch the game tonight.....in between watching the Lady Heels kick ass!!!!!!!!

There's no reson to think we should win this game, which actually makes me think we can win this one. I say we either win or lose by less than double digits.

[MattD]

optimism: We have Jason Richardson

man I love this dude. Why arent we giving him the ball hes been money so far

[MattD]

yep, Mek really must not want to be here, he is playing pretty poorly, though is interior defense is pretty crucial.

Ray once again is shooting too much/trying to do to much but otherwise playing nicely.

Jrich ballin

Dudley hustlin

Wallace... eh a nice block, but was blocked too

[MattD]

HOLLINS BABY!

[dvdbumpus]

anyone know what happened to channelsurfing? Is there any other place to watch the games?

[amour217]

The Jazz look like they're REALLY crashing the boards

[dvdbumpus]

Our 5 starters have only 6 boards. SIX BOARDS. Pathetic.

[amour217]

At this point, our starters are just barely out-rebounding Memet Okur, who is definitely not a rebounding stud by any means

Swish hasn't played a lot of the 2nd qtr, but 14pts in the 1st qtr and only 2 in the 2nd?

EO50 in 16 1/2 mins with only 1 board?

Crash in 15 mins with zero boards?

And now Crash and Swish both have 3 fouls.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[Slam]

Seriously: How good would Boozer look next to EO50 and Crash?

[Slam]

They have as many offensive boards as we do TOTAL boards at the half.

[MattD]

Not good with emeka. I want his sorry ass gone.

I am done with this game, we lost focus and we will need some serious work to regain it and get back into it.

I just dont understand what Vincent does with the lineups. We kept up pretty nicely without Nazr and with Boykins and Dudley.

Whatever man. I hope to see a win in the boxscore tomorrow morning when I wakeup and check, but I would be surprised.

Even the announcers arent taking games seriously anymore, but its entertaining, anyone catch the, "Battle of the womb"... haha

This would be a good time to sell the Lady Cats' "Babes n' Biscuits" Calendar!

[dvdbumpus]

Utah - 34 boards
Charlotte - 16 boards



PATHETIC :banghead: :chairshot: :blowup:

If we had one big come to the game tonight we could have won that game. It seems as if Okafor decided to stay in Charlotte because he sure as hell wasn't at the game tonight.
Could be him and Nazz decided to stay up late last night playing cards or somthing. If coach Ham Biscuit has any nards left below that bald head of his . He should beanch both of thair asses next game. Screw both of them start Dudley and Hollins at least they want to play . Okafor would just stand thair and watch the ball come off the rim with no intent of getting the board. Lazy, selfish ,no trying ,pissed at the coach, it's no excuse . People like me pay good money to watch him preform and he preforms like that . JUST beanch his tail the rest of the season play some one who want's to play.
The rest of the team busted thair tails off. And two bumbs like them two lose the game. I don't blame Biscuit i blame Okafors lazy tail for this one . Hes not worth 2 milion a year playing like this ,. Send his tail to the NDBL the remainder of the year.


Ckeck out his sorry box score . Had him and Nazz preformed we should have won.

Well, I only watched the 4th quarter, but I did watch it in its entirety! Down by 20, but GW, Hollins, Jermareo, Boykins and Matt cut it down to 7, then JRich comes in for Matt and it's down to 3. It was fun to watch actually, especially making FT after FT, the GW alley-oop from a midcourt Boykins pass, and seeing genuine hustle. Unfortunately they lost track of Korver, and then Hollins went out with a bloody nose, Mek came in, and it was game, set, match. For those of you who wake up and see a 22 point loss, I promise it was actually much closer than that.

My hoped-for starting lineup for next game:

Raymond
JRich
GW
Jermareo
Hollins

My reasoning? Why the hell not. I didn't see Mek play any, except for lackluster minutes in the 4th, but judging from his boxscore, he's a lost cause at this point, so let's let the youngins play!!!

All in all, I'm glad I started watching when I did, because that 17 point run they made was fun to watch, and I haven't been able to say that about the Cats since the Wizards game a few weeks back.

Boy oh boy. This Okafor thing is beginning to get out of hand. I anticipate that he will come up with some "injury" within the next couple games and shut it down the rest of the way. We cannot let him damage his Sign and Trade value any more than he already has. My gosh, pathetic again - 4 pts and 2 reb. He looks more like a $3 mil man than a $13 mil man.

Yeah, it's awful. As a fan, it actually kinda hurts my feelings to see him play so apathetically. I mean, people pay money they've worked hard for to see him play. People go out and buy this guy's jersey to support him as a basketball player. He gets paid MILLIONS of dollars to play in and for the CHARLOTTE BOBCATS, and he's given up.

It just doesn't make any sense.

[ohara831]

I mean, does he not ralize just how many millions of $ he has cost himself? You project a Contract of 5-6 yrs, and instead of $13 mil, or having raised him value up to $14-$15/ yr, he'll be lucky to get $10 mil now. That's a range of anywhere from $15 - $30 mil $ he has likely cost himself with such horrible effort and play. Money may not mean everything to him, and it shouldn't. But my goodness, losing that kinda of money is enough to smack anyone in the face and make them say "Boy, did I screw this up big time."

[davcbow]

Fine Ham Biscuits for everybody! Pitiful game, pitiful stats, our bigs just sucked out loud. Somebody throw out the white flag.....GW and JR were the only 2 that did much of anything. PITIFUL!!!!!!! :mad:
