Charlotte Bobcats at Miami Heat 12/8

[ziggy]

running in the door at the last minute game thread.

Sorry for the delay guys, Have at it.

[BobcatsAllDay]

I will say 10-15 FT attepmts from D. Wade tonight and out of those 10-15 there will be 4 legitimate calls by the refs.

[TheLegend]

Hate to say it but I don't think will have this game.

There.

[Ghost Kat]

The heat are under sized so maybe if we play good quick D we'll have a chance.

[millst2]

well hopefully we can cool off dwade. This is a win if we shoot a good % and get to the line.

[millst2]

nice pass from may to ok50. We are starting decent, hopefully we can keep it up

[millst2]

jrich on fire.. woot

[tamburello]

J-Rich is on fire!! 9-2, 8 points for J-Rich.

[bing!]

uh-oh, here comes Wade with a bucket-full of water.

Sopcast link...awesome!

Nice start so far.

[tamburello]

Ammo for three! 25-22, decent first quarter.

[bing!]

Cats are still falling behind slightly in the Reb. department, though high FG% is keeping them ahead.

[tamburello]

Stop giving up soooo many offensive rebos.

[bing!]

I like this lineup, 'cept for Nazr of course.

[bing!]

Woah, it seems Morrison mistook rebounds for insulin. Lame, I know.

[millst2]

we look decent, but as we all guessed the calls all go against us.

[bing!]

Heat 14 FTAs, Cats only two...

[BobcatsAllDay]

Just throw your body in there and get fouled D-Wade, this is crazy

[bing!]

That's right Alexis, use that sky-scraping quality of yours.

[BobcatsAllDay]

If we could slow D-Wade down and rebound we can steal this one

[tamburello]

Once we were down by 8, however we did a good job in coming back, we're only down by 3. Although we couldn't stop Wade and gave too much offensive rebounds, I'm hopeful about the second half. DJ and Shannon were pretty decent.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Wow, D-Wade doesnt even have to do anything.

[BobcatsAllDay]

Wade on pace for 18 FT attempts

[tamburello]

8 straight points by Mek!

[bellringer21]

Is there a reason why DJ isnt playing much?

[spectre]

Is there a reason why DJ isnt playing much?

Maybe because Felton's been covering Flash some for Swish and we need Swish's offense? He'll probably get at least half the 4th.

[dnbman]

Okafor

Tonight: monster face!

[tamburello]

We lead 80-74, 9 minutes left. Come on guys!

[spectre]

Hopefully they keep going to him...not like he's like this every night!

Ammo's playing well.

[Melanie]

6 point lead. Go Bobcats!!!

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Felton: Doing pretty good
J-Rich: Awesome
Dudley: Dennis Rodman like
Morrison: Getting better
Nazr: Drop him plz
Alexis: ouch, but good
Mek: Orgasm

[BobcatsAllDay]

I can't remember the 1st match-up but this might the most selfish team we have faced (or at least Beasley is).

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Something terrible has happened...

NEW GAMESHOW GARY COMMERICALS

[BobcatsAllDay]

C'mon Ray hit one

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Dammit, take ray out >.<

[Melanie]

Oh, please don't let this game slip away from us!

[amour217]

abominable call by the refs

[BobcatsAllDay]

Bullshit, I quit

[Melanie]

Thank you DJ!

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Fucken Refs!

[tamburello]

Fuck you referees... Bunch of stupid calls sent Dudley out! I hate superstar calls, I hate those refs!

[BobcatsAllDay]

Fuck you referees... Bunch of stupid calls sent Dudley out! I hate superstar calls, I hate those refs!

I can understand the superstar calls but that was so late that the ref should be brought in for questioning.

[tamburello]

DJ played pretty well tonight, but what a bad foul decision by him! We've got to climb a mountain now.

[Melanie]

Sucky, sucky, sucky!

[Dead_Real]

I'll watch this recording after the MNF game goes off looks like a good one though from the score.

[BobcatsAllDay]

I can't believe they called that blocking foul on JD. It took the wind out of me....that's one of the worst calls I have seen in a while.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

It really isnt

[amour217]

wow...DJ took a one-way trip on the failboat

[tamburello]

Adam puts us back in the game.

[Melanie]

Heat win with a big fat assist from the refs! Pisses me off!

[tamburello]

Nope, another tight loss on road. I'm tired of losing games because of lack of clutchness.

[millst2]

im tired of losing games to some pretty blatantly shitty calls. We talked in another thread about wades preferential treatment. And oh how it fukn showed tonight
`

[BobcatsAllDay]

This one leaves a bad taste in my mouth, I said Wade would have 10-15 FT attempts.....he had 19

[ohara831]

Heartbreaking loss. J-Rich played well, but those two missed FT with 30 sec really hurt. Okafor was very solid! Ammo was very productive for the minutes he played. 6/25 for our PG hurt isn't too good, but they had to try to score to make up for Crash being gone. Oh well, they fought hard which is all we can ask. I'm not upset with the effort put forth.

DWade aka D'Whistle

[TheBeagle]

Nope, another tight loss on road. I'm tired of losing games because of lack of clutchness. That's how I feel. The Milwaukee game bitchslapped me into reality about what this team is about, and how it's the same Bobcats we've ever known, so this one tonight didn't really hurt all that bad.....it was expected.

The JD block call on Wade was a sham in the worst way, but it was just one play, and the team still had plenty of chances before and after the call to win this one. JRich can definitely put up the points, and is a phenomenal scorer, make no mistake, but he just isn't clutch, folks. If it wasn't bad enough he missed the two FTs, why the fuck did he foul when there was an 8 second difference in the shot and game clock?

"Choking" wins away is kindred to being a Bobcat; it's like some sort of genetic defect that was present in the team from its inception, and 4+ years later, with a few new faces, it continues to infest the DNA of those that put on the Bobcats jersey. I commend Larry for all he's done, and for putting the team in positions where it can win, and for looking, generally, so much better as a unit on offense, but he can't go out and make the plays, so alas, welcome to the interminable futility that is Bobcats basketball: enjoy the ride :(

[BobcatsAllDay]

When will we get a break? I guess we are getting it now considering everybody is healthy. Which lost hurt the most, Cavs or Heat?

[Dead_Real]

Holy shit ESPN2 just showed Wade banging on Mek that was crazy

[TheBeagle]

When will we get a break? I guess we are getting it now considering everybody is healthy. Which lost hurt the most, Cavs or Heat? Neither; Milwaukee was the most heart-wrenching by a long shot. That one should've been the third consecutive win, brought some confidence into the Cavs game, and maybe propelled the team into a successful season. Instead it's the beginning of a long losing streak that's going to kiss this season bye-bye.

[BobcatsAllDay]

Well this is the end of a 5 game stretch that I really wanted the Bobcats to go 4-1 (I was expecting the loss to come against the Cavs or Heat). We end up at 2-3 with upcoming road games that are complete long shots w/ or w/o Crash. Missed out on an opportunity to stay with the pack...uphill battle, if there is a battle at all from this point

[TheBeagle]

On the other hand, how bout those Panthers? Now that's a team the area can get excited about! Why couldn't I be as big of a football fan as a basketball fan?!?!? Oh well, go Panthers! Go Bobcats! At least one of you has a pair. ;)

All day I was thinking "Awesome Panthers are 10-3, 301 yards rushing, DWade to the rack, is he in the circus? Foul? No, no, NOOOOOO!!! this is my Panthers win the Super Bowl day dream!" I can't shake it no matter how great the 2nd half against the Bucs was last night.
