Preseason Game #4...Atlanta ChickenHawks vs. Charlotte Bobcats

[spectre]

Murray out tonight; Diaw running again (http://blogs.charlotte.com/inside_the_nba/2009/10/murray-out-tonight-diaw-running-again.html)


Opponents are getting too much penetration of the lane and too many offensive rebounds. That's not new for the Bobcats, but it sounds like Larry Brown's biggest concern right now.

7 PM start

Quote To Note: (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/cha/report#notes_quotes)

"If you have a Kobe Bryant or a LeBron James, you can get away with a little less continuity. When you have a team of guys who are all good players, but no guy who is going to the free-throw line 27 times a night, you have to play together." — G Raja Bell, on what it will take for the Bobcats to make their first playoff appearance.


Links when we find them (hopefully).

[ALong13]

We go to Atlanta tonight for Game 4 of the preseason, Chandler's not ready quite yet, but this could be his last game watching. I think this is a winnable game and I hope Ajinca can do well again.

I say Bobcats win this 98-92

Roster
We match up well except p/f . Instersting to see how Brown defends that? ideas
That said its still a winable game

[BigE]

If we play with the same level of intensity that we have the past 3 games then we will win this game.

My prediction... Bobcats - 103 Hawks - 95

[davcbow]

Are there any links to the game tonight? Id really love to watch this game or at least listen to it...:cool:

[CatNation]

We can definitely win this one! Though more importantly I'd like to see Lex have another solid game. I'll be on the hunt for a stream guys hopefully we'll have more luck than last time..

Co-signed.

Pretty please? ;)

[docend24]

nba is a joke, they have us with 0-2 preseason record on official site

http://www.nba.com/games/20091012/CHAATL/gameinfo.html?ls=gt1hp0010900045

I just hope we won't miss playoffs this year becuase they can't count or even notice we are winning here and there.

Did you get this link to work?

[spectre]

Yeah, but it's still on the news.

You have to download software to work. Before we go there let's make sure it's even on this channel.

[Bobcat4Ever]

Fuck, why isn't there even an audio link?

[millst2]

got to love the bobcats fucked up television delivery. Retarded how many of us have to watch streams of games online. lol

[spectre]

It's still showing japanese sports news. I pulled that link off of andromeda so I figured it'd be good.

Usually MyP2P has a tvants link first (and they don't)...so that's not good.

[ALong13]

nothing is working for me :-(

[davcbow]

Im watching the flash thing at nba.com we are down by 5 at the 7:55 mark. 12-7

[spectre]

Somebody needs to help Felton! He's 4 of 6...everyone else 1 basket or less. :facepalm:

[millst2]

yeah you beat me to it, felton has scored 9 of our 13 pts and nazr now has 2 fouls.

[teej]

Radman also has two, and Gana has one with a minute of PT...I think we'll see lots of Lexy tonight.

And Ray is on fiyah!

[davcbow]

This reallt erks the hell out of me tht we cant even have a audio link to the game, hell I cant even find it on the friggen radio... 26-15 GW now with 4 points

[spectre]

And Raja STILL can't hit the side of a barn.

[dnbman]

Somebody needs to help Felton! He's 4 of 6...everyone else 1 basket or less. :facepalm:

And assisted on most of the others!

This is a game where missing Diaw and Chandler is going to really hurt us. Atlanta is too athletic for Diop or Nazr.

[millst2]

Guys I found a LIVE AUDIO LINK

It is from the hawks side but here is the link.

http://radiotime.com/WebTuner.aspx?StationId=22287&

if that don't work heres the other link http://radiotime.com/affiliate/a_37852/station/Atlanta_Hawks_Radio_Stations.aspx

790AM the Zone

A lot damn better than watching flashes on the screen :)

[davcbow]

29-21 end of 1st.....:mad:

[millst2]

21-29 with 5 turnovers, if we handle the ball we will win, well if we rely on some others for some points instead of Felton and Bell who have 16 of our 21

[Lewey]

Thanks Millst2!

+1 rep millst2

[millst2]

np guys, i went to like 20 different places looking for the video feed, nothing was working so decided to go to the audio. The audio is really clear also so nice and clean.

[millst2]

we just have to keep the damn ball, we seem to be commiting stupid fouls and turning the ball over way to much.

[millst2]

2 fouls now on Ajinca, this is ridiculous. Stop fouling, damn

[teej]

2nd quarter has been atrocious...

[millst2]

AA picked up his 3d foul,, hahahaha wtf

[spectre]

Make it 3.

Replacement refs. They call everything.

[davcbow]

This game reminds me of last season....:cool:

[dnbman]

2 fouls now on Ajinca, this is ridiculous. Stop fouling, damn

Think about those wings though? As narrow as his frame is combined with his 20 foot arms and he's bound to get fouls. The guy's going to have to learn to keep his hands up most of the time.

[spectre]

They've called 13 fouls on us and 8 on them...in less than 16 minutes.

[millst2]

Replacement refs. They call everything.

Yeah I agree there, I have never seen so many palming calls called or carry calls ever.

[dav7z]

Agreeded ,,,,,

[dav7z]

Thanks for the link

[Ampsportsduo]

Glad Nazr got in shape, but if you get a foul every couple minutes does it matter?

[dav7z]

We not going to have any players left at the end of this game

[ALong13]

I see Ajinca already has 3 fouls :-(

[dav7z]

Small back court

[millst2]

we got to get this thing down to single digits by half

[dav7z]

Wallace biggest player on the floor at 6.7 WOW

[dnbman]

getting owned by a guy named Zaza....

ugh.

[dav7z]

Good passes by Felton

[dav7z]

Bell needs to step up

[dav7z]

three on Felton now WOW this is ugly game

[ALong13]

Is there a stream yet? Or are you guys watching it at the house...

And why isn't Derrick Brown got any playing time?

[dnbman]

And why isn't Derrick Brown got any playing time?

Great question. He seems perfect for this game.

[teej]

Nazzy with 5 quick points, but this is a nasty game.

If the regular refs aren't back soon, this season should just get thown out. JEEZ!

[spectre]

http://radiotime.com/WebTuner.aspx?StationId=22287&

just audio.

Dunno bout UPS.

[Ampsportsduo]

Why refs why?

[dnbman]

Technical on Wallace! :o

[millst2]

do the refs think they get a bonus for every foul they fukn call. this is dumb, they are calling as many fouls as they can

[millst2]

the announcer just said he has not seen a ref call that call in twenty yrs. hahahahaha

[dav7z]

The refs are serewing us big time a Tec on Wallace and a tic tac offence foul .3 on Wallace

[davcbow]

Glad Nazr got in shape, but if you get a foul every couple minutes does it matter?

These refs are terrible, even the announcers said they havent seen the last foul against GW in 20 years....:cool:

[dav7z]

31 fouls 1st half 26 FIRST HALF free throughs in the 1st half for them

JUST STUPID somthing has to be done

[teej]

Last night I was watching the TNT game, and they were saying the same things. Stern better fix this QUICK!!!

And for being screwed over, not a bad first half, but nothing to be proud of except for maybe Anderson...

[Scottley Crue]

Just got in from some errands...I see that the replacement refs have struck again. Along with the obvious bad calls, someone needs to point out to these gentelmen that the people in the stands have to be at work the next morning. So, um, let the little stuff go, you know?

[millst2]

yeah well we got screwed over and may be in decent shape now, but 2nd half we have a to avoid fouls are the screwing hurts

[millst2]

hahaha they gave LB a tech during half time,, hahaha WTF

[davcbow]

what the hell? LB got a tech during halftime...:cool:

[dnbman]

Well, while the fouls are hurting, the bottom line is that we're just not make shots. 39% as a team is pretty awful.

[Scottley Crue]

I'm sure he let them know what he thought of the job they were doing.

[dnbman]

I'm sure he let them know what he thought of the job they were doing.

Think it started with "gentlemen, I have some suggestions...?"

[Scottley Crue]

Think it started with "gentlemen, I have some suggestions...?"
Sure...but I bet it didn't end that way.

[millst2]

these refs are atrocious. Can not believe these calls

[spectre]

Every play should be a drive into the paint.

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

where do you watch it on nba.com? I don't see any video links...

[Scottley Crue]

Every play should be a drive into the paint.
Absolutely. Just put four good free throw shooters out there and one solid rebounder and just attack the rim every play. Sounds like that might work. Or at least work better than what's going on now. Some nights are your night....this is not one of those nights.

[davcbow]

Every play should be a drive into the paint.

AMEN yes it should ;)

[Ampsportsduo]

None of these games have any rhythm to them. Waste of time if you don't let these guys play.

[davcbow]

where do you watch it on nba.com? I don't see any video links...

Nobody I know of is watching it we are all listening to it on audio...

http://radiotime.com/WebTuner.aspx?StationId=22287&

[davcbow]

How can you get a rhythum? these refs call a foul almost every play...:cool:

[Scottley Crue]

How can you get a rhythum? these refs call a foul almost every play...:cool:
It's just ridiculous. Even the Hawks' play-by-play guy laughs at fouls called on either side. I'm not sure what it'll take to get the regular refs back, but it needs to happen yesterday.

[dav7z]

Has Bell hit the side of a friggen barn tonight. Or this season

[millst2]

brown ejected

these refs are dildos

[dav7z]

Another tec Thats three . Make them through you out Larry , Good job Larry THEM STUPID ASSES

[davcbow]

LB is thrown out of the game... :o

[Scottley Crue]

LB thrown out...I'd do whatever I could to get out of there, too.

[spectre]

LOL at LB! :D

Hah...did he take the starters with him?

[dav7z]

Anouncer , wrere they get thease guys,,,lol

[teej]

Jeez this is ridiculous. Well at least the NBA has found it's most glaring weakness. And I guess Dick Bavetta wasn't so bad after all. damnnn.

[dav7z]

Refs going to set a damn record making calls

[dav7z]

How in the hell can you really play a game with thease calls. No body can play the game

[dnbman]

LB thrown out...I'd do whatever I could to get out of there, too.

Gangsta! And now noted in my sig.

[dav7z]

Now we get a call they sceard of Larry lol

[davcbow]

This just goes to show ya what things are like when the officials take over the game....:cool:

[dav7z]

Henderson has played better than Bell in the preseason

[teej]

Henderson has played better than Bell in the preseason

Not like we can really judge it when there isn't a true game going on :facepalm:

[spectre]

Maybe since no one can see the game it never really happened?

[teej]

Maybe since no one can see the game it never really happened?

If only...:rolleyes:

I never thought I'd say this, but I WANT MY DICK BAVETTA BACKKK!

[dnbman]

I'm waiting to hear that BCP has gotten a technical for chastising the refs on a message board.

[teej]

I'm waiting to hear that BCP has gotten a technical for chastising the refs on a message board.

Dav7z and I have been ejected, and John Hollinger is shooting a free throw.

[Scottley Crue]

Gangsta! And now noted in my sig.
Now that is gansta. I like that he nearly needed to be dragged off the court.

[Scottley Crue]

Dav7z and I have been ejected, and John Hollinger is shooting a free throw.
If he misses that free throw, it will rip his PER to shreds.

[teej]

Aaaaaaand a technical on the Hawks. Can we make this like the NFL and decline penalties?

[BeebCats]

Anybody know why DJ only played 8 mins?

[dav7z]

dav7z has just got his 2nd tec and has been ejected. later guys

[spectre]

Anybody know why DJ only played 8 mins?

He's in the alley with Larry Brown waiting for the refs to come out. :p

[davcbow]

Who knows this entire game has been weard to say the least.:cool:

[spectre]

UPS has had a very productive 12 minutes in garbage time: 3 of 5 for 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks (grasping at straws here...).

[teej]

I'd say Ray, Hendo, and Crash looked good. Everyone else has a lot of work to do.

[Muttley]

I'm not sure this game was worth the cost of travel (not even for the Hawks).

[davcbow]

I tell ya Bell is looking like Ammo from last season...:cool:

[davcbow]

My grades through 4 games...

1) UPS 15
2) DJ 14.25
3) Hendo 13.75
4) Lexy 11.25
5) Nazr 9.5
6) Felts 8
7) GW 7
8) Murray 7
9) Anderson 6.33
10) Graham 4.5
11) Radman 2.75
12) Jefferson 2
13) Diop 1
14) Bell -0.5

This is bad every single person went down hill except UPS and Gerald Wallace who has been moving up every game since game 1...:cool:

[ohara831]

I am glad I did not get to see the game. After reading this thread, I think I would have thrown something thru my TV set after a bad ref call. Gee, I hope Stern does something to fix this problem.

[BRNC]

Refs or not the TOs (and poor 3pt shooting) are killing us...got to cut them down...20+ is too many for any team...

[BigE]

I didn't know that we lost untill this morning so I have no idea what went wrong but it's clear that we took a step backward.

[dnbman]

I didn't know that we lost untill this morning so I have no idea what went wrong but it's clear that we took a step backward.

I don't know. We're down two starters and it's pre-season. You want to be playing well, but I wouldn't read too much into it, especially given the questionable officiating.

[docend24]

Yeah Hornets! http://www.nba.com/video/games/hawks/2009/10/12/0010900045_cha_atl_recap.nba/ (listen carefully at the beginning, pure stupidity)

[davcbow]

LOL who runs this league? We are the Charlotte Bobcats not the Hornets. I wonder if they still call the Jazz New Orleans?

[BigE]

LOL who runs this league? We are the Charlotte Bobcats not the Hornets. I wonder if they still call the Jazz New Orleans?

It won't change untill we make the playoffs and people outside NC realize that the Bobcats exist...

[docend24]

It won't change untill we make the playoffs and people outside NC realize that the Bobcats exist...

I think you are hopelessly optimistic guy in this case. It won't change ever.

[BigE]

I think you are hopelessly optimistic guy in this case. It won't change ever.

I think people would notice the Bobcats if we ever get lucky and draft a superstar like a LeBron James, Dwight Howard or Chris Paul who would make the Bobcats a legit championship contender year in and year out. But untill that happens we will never be "on the map" when it comes to getting recognition from the NBA and the media.
