Gameday Thread 4/9 Charlotte Bobcats @ NY Knicks 7:30 p.m.

[Dead_Real]

TV: FSN South, FOX Sports South or NBALP

Vincent vs Isiah Thomas aka the Battle of the future unemployment office visitors :biggrin:

Both teams coming into tonights contest with some momentum from last night Cats over TWolves and Knicks pulled off an upset win over the Pistons. NYK have had our number this season when they host us so I'm sure we wont take them likely. But anyways I see Rich, Felton and Hammer being to much for them tonight and we push the record to 31 wins.

PS I hope our "coach" gives Davidson some burn tonight.

[King Taharqa]

GO BOBCATS!!!

[TheBeagle]

No clue on this one. Both teams have one a game each by blowout, and both teams are playing second game of back to back having won the first.

One thing's for sure: expect two teams playing no defense and zoning out coaches. Hopefully we'll outhustle and pull the win out!

Also, the game's on Sportsouth, not FSN South, I'm pretty sure. Good luck to our SC viewers!!

[Dead_Real]

FSN south for the Raleigh viewers I don't think we get Sports South.

[ohara831]

Great! My SportsSouth is showing the UGA vs Ga. Tech college baseball game!!!! Lying sons of bitches!!!!

[ohara831]

I just comfirmed with the lying bastards that Charter Comm is not showing us the Bobcats! That is fine. I confirmed for her I am cancelling my $190.00 cable bill with them and ging to Dish Direct. Screw them!!! I'm going home!!!

[Dead_Real]

Were going with the same starting line up from last night with Hammer and Nazr starting.

you checked sports south?

sorry to hear it

[Dead_Real]

Knicks can't miss and we look a bit sloppy so far.

[ohara831]

SportsSouth is showing the college baseball game. We are apparently wedded to Atlanta sports here! UUUGGGHHH. I'm so mad I dont know whether to crap or go blind, so I'm gonna close one eye and fart!!

[Dead_Real]

Damn no D being played at all tonight both teams getting whatever they want on offense in the 1st.

[chabber]

Don't be too quick I'm in Charlotte w/Directv and I have the stupid baseball game too. League Pass is blocked out and FSN is showing something else dumb. Evidently no one at Fox has gotten the memos....

[MattD]

well time warner in charlotte is playing it. I really dont think you should worry yet. This is brand new, its going to take a little while to get it working.

wow jermareo just blocked the crap out of someone

[Dead_Real]

Yea I'm thinking it's the cable company and not the location I have Time Warner too.

[MattD]

boykins carroll dudley jermareo hollins

nice! haha, Jermareo and Ryan look really similar, they both want huge blocks, so they both jumped on a shot, then they both tried to go for a put back and messed up. theyll get the hang of it. I do like our young bigs.

[MattD]

haha this lineup is awesome! Fun to watch

[Dead_Real]

Small ball Ray, Dudley, Rich, Hammer and Boykins lol.

[MattD]

sam vincent never ceases to amaze. 4 guards in the game and jared dudley

so bad. theres a reason for the 12-0 run

[Dead_Real]

Vincent needs to put Davidson back in the game.

[Alex]

Vincent has to be handicapped. He put Emeka in then took him out immediately and brought in Felton making Dudley the biggest guy on our team with the Knicks having Balkman and Chandler on the floor, both bigger than Dudley.

WHAT THE HELL!!

16-0 run for the Knicks, he's so terrible.

[CMc$]

Who wants to watch us lose to the Knicks anyway?

Sadly, I would be watching if the networks/providers/bobcats had their act together.

Maybe MJ told him to tank and he's being a little too obvious.

[Dead_Real]

Feed Emeka please!!! they don't have an answer for him.

A little late in the season to start tanking dont you think?

The Knicks reserves, RESERVES, just s*it all over our reserves and starters in that quarter. TERRIBLE.

[Dead_Real]

64-50 NY lead at the half.

I think we're only a half game ahead of the Bulls for the 8th spot, and they're losing right now by 16.

And Vincent is an idiot. Just needs to be repeated.

[ohara831]

I'm going to confirm if Dish Direct offers the Bobcats on FSN and SportsSouth before I do anything. If this has to do with the team itself and not the cable providers, I'll be one pissed off fan!

[ohara831]

Vincent is an idiot. It has been confirmed!

[Dead_Real]

Nice little interview with Richardson basically said he likes living in Charlotte and that he's going to do everything in his power to take us to the playoffs next season.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

I can't find this game on TV and I live only 15 minutes from Charlotte. Meh, I'm watching the Harlem Globe trotters on TV instead >_>. It's actually very entertaining.

[ziggy]

I just flipped on the game and we're getting housed by the friggin Knicks?!?! WTF?

From the looks of this thread it looks like Sam has been running a few goofy lineups again.

[MattD]

i might stop watching. We are down by 12 to the knicks. argh, I hope we can put a run together.

Davidson needs to be playing as does boykins. they played well.

[MattD]

wow looks like we dont care, so I dont care, Im done with this game for now

[BIGCatBobcat]

pretty bad pretty hard to watch. Is Sam thinking he's evaluating talent for next year? He must know by now....

[Dead_Real]

Cutting the lead only down 6.

[Dead_Real]

Down 3 going into the 4th Ray, Hammer and Rich keep doing what your doing got us back into this.

[spectre]

Cutting the lead only down 6.


And then to 3.  Felton/Swish/Hammer all doing good in that stretch.

Or...what Eaton said!

[Dead_Real]

Felton feeling it.

[ziggy]

It looks like Ray brought his game with him today.
...and now we're up by 1.

[Dead_Real]

Good job staying with that play Mek.

Knicks just lighting it up from 3 :mad:

[Dead_Real]

2.3 seconds left in the game down 2.

[CMc$]

Let's just put this season in perspective.

The New York Knicks just took the season series from us. The

New

York

Knicks

[ohara831]

Did we get off a decent last shot, or screw it up. I know we did not make it, but was it close?

[CMc$]

My Avatar to the left of this post (Sammy Boy) looks like he just realized that he played 4 guards and Dudley for a stretch.

Or he could be saying "Four" when the team asked him how many guards to have in the game.

He could be saying anything you'd like. Perhaps we could have fun with "what is sammy saying in this photo"

[ohara831]

I'd write what I'm thinking, but it is not fit for mixed company. It might offend the fairer sex. Use your imagination - it isn't "hard" to guess.

[ziggy]

CMC$, I'm sure that I've said this before, but that is The best avatar EVER.

ohara, They did get a shot off by Emeka at the end, but the real problem is Hammy not telling the Cats to foul with 23 seconds left.

[MattD]

it was ballsy, but what if they did and they hit both. we would have been in a worse position. maybe, we would have to hit a three and foul immediately again.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

I guess my idea of watching a Harlem Globetrotter game was the right decision.

[Dead_Real]

Agreed we should have fouled on the Knicks last possession with the ball we actually gave them a good look they just missed the lay up and were lucky to grab the rebound.

As for the last shot don't know how Emeka of all people gets the ball that far away from the basket would have rather seen Hammer or Rich taking the shot.

[MattD]

well the best in bounds play would have been to put jrich on the opposite baseline and set a double stagger screen as he came around toward the other side of the court, then had him run toward Jared inbounding the ball, and then given him a hopefully open look, with Ray setting one of those screens and curling to the baseline corner along with emeka rolling to the basket, rather then have mek take a 14 footer he wasnt expecting.

Outcoaching sam vincent, not hard to do.

[davcbow]

Fine Ham Biscuit strikes again. Thank God this miserable season is almost over....Hopefully the Ham Biscuit era too.... :g:

My words exactly. If you're going to gamble and let them dribble the clock down with only a 2 second difference between the game and shot clock, then you must be able to execute a competent last shot play. If not, why the hell not foul and extend the game?!? As I told dad while we were watching the clock wind down and no Bobcats fouls, "This is why he'll get fired." But, I did admit that if he could cook up a nice play for us at the end, I'd take back what I said, but we get a Mek turnaround jumper from just inside the foul line.....Great job, "coach." Couldn't've drawn it up better myself ::)
The staggered screen for JRich was what my dad was calling for, and then I had to remind him who coaches the Bobcats. Fuck you and your "progress" you keep say you're making, Vincent.....you're as bad as you were the first fucking preseason game!!

[timang]

i really do pray that you guys could actually coach a game and then they'll fire "coach" in the process, you make sound decisions i never ever saw in coach v. gawd this loss is awful.

[ohara831]

I feel sorry for the guy. Just got in over his head. This will haunt his career forever. He'll always be relegated to an asst coach position. Oh, well, it's a tough world.

[Chef]

don't feel too bad for him, i am sure he is getting paid a decent salary

[WarioVsMooChicken]

800K a year...

I'm surprised he doesn't have to pay the team for what he is doing.

[Muttley]

It really is sad. He was never the man that should be put in this position, and he likely won't get a second chance from any other team in the Association.

The perfect illustration of his incompetence was the mini-bobcat line-up where the Dude was the largest guy out there. Also, that last play was really unfortunate. I'm not sure that was what was planned, but if the 2nd option is Mek getting the ball that far from the hoop, then it's a flawed play (at least for our team).

T-minus 3 games to Vincent's firing... (I hope!)

[davcbow]

Let us pray..... :biggrin: :) :D :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-\ ^-^ :mad: :wink: :afro: :g: :rkiss0: The entire congregation....
