Charlotte Bobcats at Indiana Pacers 12/16

[spectre]

Not a big deal. That wasn't the dumbest play all game...just the last.

[Slam]

Can you rewind it? I thought Boris caught it while not being in position to shoot, started to square off and then spotted DJ and dumped it to him.

I don't think DJ was open when the pass was thrown.

You are right. It was a broken play and Boris came from the paint and presented.

Heck, it was almost a 5 second violation.

I think the play was for Jax to take a corner 3 moving towards the baseline but the Pacers cut that off.

Not even close. There were some freaking doozies tonight.

Diaw is better then Jackson

Please tell me you are being sarcastic. If not, then that is one of the dumbest comments I have ever heard.

No Granger and we lost.
This is utterly disappointing. We will not make the playoffs if we throw these games.

On a good note:
Augustin played decent, some nice assists and baskets.
TC got a double double, 13/13. If he puts up those stats rest of the year, I will be one happy man.
G and Jax owning it up. With Jax, it's a lot easier for G to get to the rack.

When you play the Pacers; the ONE thing you can't do is let Troy Murphy and Mike Dunleavy take uncontested 3's. They'll kill you everytime.

It really isn't that complicated.

I found myself yelling at Steve Martin and Dell Curry on the TV for sounding so surprised that those guys would actually keep making wide open shots. Duh. Man, I'm sorry our announcers are taking homer lessons this year.

Even if TJ Ford is playing at the top of his game; no way you triple team him in the paint.

The stupidity is beyond the point of exhaustion for me. I keep watching, but damn it's painful.

I got so angry during the Knicks game last night that I yelled "COME ON FUCKERS!" from my seat during the 3rd Quarter. I hope they didn't hear me, but I think a couple of the assistant coaches might have. No more beer at halftime for me. I've never so much before wanted to go Artest and start throwing cups at anyone within range.

I swear if fucking Flip Murray and Steven Graham don't get benched I'm going to go off. I want to see our rookies and I want to see them now. Damn, I'm pissed off.

Ok i have taken another look at the final shot and really it was no ones fault really,Diaw would have missed the 3 if he had taken it but as soon as DJ caught the ball,time expired.However no one was guarding DJ he was like a good 6-7 feet out from the 3 point line if the inbounds pass had gone directly to DJ...............could have gone into overtime.....maybe ......just saying.No one paid attention to Dunleavy in the 1st................HELLOOOOOOOOOOO

I feel asleep during HT. What happened?

Well honestly we played like week old ass the entire game. Unforced TOs, quick shots and just stupid decisions. Not defending Murphy out to the 3 line (Boris I guess). It also appears Felton was still hurting from a rolled ankle which led to TJ having his season best game.

We are no where NEAR good enough to coast and then come back in the 4th quarter. Just cuz we did it to the Knicks doesn't mean we can do that against anyone else.

This is all true. And it made it such a painful game to watch, I quit halfway through the 3rd 'til halfway through the 4th because the anger and frustration were rising too much.

I was amazed they closed it down to 3 and had two chances to tie at the end, but fuckall if they could make a 3 tonight. It's great that they've developed a homecourt advantage and all, but if they have any desire to become a playoff team, as they say they do, they need to grow a pair and get it done on the road. There is no excuse to be this inept. I know I overestimate the ability of the team, but 1-11 and counting is absolutely insane.

Also, great rant, Keetch! I was so pissed last night I didn't give my first second half applause til 4 or 5 minutes left in the game.

I thought DJ was terrible. He should be able to defend TJ Ford (they are the same player). He fouled a three point jump shot, fouled troy murphy on a turn around jumper from the post (just let him have it you are 2 feet shorter and not going to affect the shot unless you just hold him down) and fouled tj ford with 2 seconds left on the shot clock.

on a brighter note, we couldn't throw it in the ocean last night but our foul shooting and taking it to the hole kept us close. the way we played d, we should have lost by 15 but almost had it. granted, they are terrible, but this would not have happened last year.
