Any one going Monday

[ziggy]

I'm work just 2 blocks away from Bobcats Arena, so I'm going to do my best to be there.
If I get stuck in a meeting, I'll fake an appendicitis attack or a ruptured spleen to get out of it :biggrin:

[Dead_Real]

I wish it was on a weekend.

[dav7z]

Any other Bobcats crazys going????

[dav7z]

[polarcat]

so, it's free but you have to get tix from ticketmaster? i haven't been to one of these before, so any insight on how it works at the twc arena would be helpful to this newly relocated charlotte fan.

[ammofan]

I wanna go sooooo bad but why is it on Monday?

[Muttley]

Oh man, if I weren't in Raleigh...

[amour217]

[ammofan]

Sweet......my dad told me he would bring me tomarrow.....he is picking me up early from school, but i have to go back because i have basketball tryouts......Still its gonna be fun!

[ammofan]

I am gonna get as close as possible.......maybe first row right behind the floor seats?

[ziggy]

Ziggy what section

The ticket that I printed says ( general admission, G1, Seat 6) I'm not sure what section they'll have me in.

So what's everyone's take on the open practice? Here's what I saw:

* Is it just me or does Jermareo have no hops? He looked like he was having a hard time out there.

* Sean May is useless and easily winded.

* Felton is having a bit of a hard time with the system, LB is indeed tough on him

* Ajinca needs to eat some fruit loops or somethin...good Lord. I think he may be a big non-factor this season, he sat out a lot of the 5-on-5 plays. Good dunker, though.

* I hope Andre Brown does well, even though it looks like he's got a freakin novel tattooed on his leg lol. The guy looks tough and can get up off the ground, even showing a real good box out of Mek at one point

* Adam Morrison eat strawberry laffy taffys

* The whole "10 rows back" thing is stupid

* Gerald Wallace kinda seemed frustrated in practice at one point...LB told him something and he walked to the sideline with a somewhat profanity-laced mini-tirade and looked annoyed the rest of the time.

I was seated 10 rows behind the bench, so I had a good view of a lot of stuff. Did anyone win any of the prizes? One dude behind me up at the club was taking like 8 sandwiches and asking for 3 sodas at a time lol. I even got asked for a few quotes from a guy with Bobcats Radio, so that was definitely cool. Overall, a great way to spend a lunch break...I wish they did it more often.

[polarcat]

i had fun today. yeah, the whole 10 rows back thing was pretty stupid, but whatever...it was free. may does look useless and i didn't see jemario getting too much burn. morrison was on target and a lot of the team looks like they aren't comfortable yet. it's understandable, plus larry was all over the court correcting problems, guiding, etc. btw, twiggy was always flushing it down with such emphasis.....i'd love to see that vs. a real team. :rolleyes: the free lunch was pretty sweet, though i saw lots of folks taking several bags and stuffing it down into one bag. if you enjoy 7 turkey sandwiches and snacks, more power to ya. i do hope they do this more often too.

[bing!]

Darn it, wish I lived some 6000ish miles to the west :( . Glad everyone else had fun and a chance to stuff up on free tummy buddies :biggrin: .

Just a few question for those who went..

Besides winded, how was was May looking, could he keep up at all or make any shot?
How did Andre Brown look?
Who looks more comfortable in practice DJ Augustine or Raymond Felton

[Slam]

I thought McMay was on the court, not sitting behind you?


(zinnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggg!!!!)

[bing!]

^ nice one, had me bursting over here. :D

May looked lost....he just didn't really participate
Brown didn't do anything great but he didn't do anything bad......like Hollins
Augustin was more comfortable.....Felton had to be corrected WAY to many times

OTHER OBSERVATIONS:
-Morrison was HOT!!!!! Everybody was cheering for him......If anyone heard a kid say "Eat that Raymond!" it was me lol
-Okafor was slow and decent....Herb Brown was telling him he needed to run.
and was that a bag of candy on the sideline? I saw Shannon Brown over thee alot! and -Sean was watching

[bing!]

Morrison was HOT!!!!! Everybody was cheering for him
Glad to hear that, I'm also glad to hear the fans haven't given up on him. I never had my hopes up for May (his return and/or contribution this season), so no surprises here.

May was a waste of space out there. Until he can run up and down the court more than two times without getting winded he serves no purpose on the roster.

Any pictures?
