Los Angeles Lakers at Charlotte Bobcats 3/5

Well on the DET board they say he's awake and stable.

Yeah, the Yahoo link said that he was conscious and breathing on his own on the way to the hospital. Hopefully, it was just a fluke pass out and nothing serious.

It figures that one of the few televised games that I haven't been able to see would be one of the games that was probably amazingly fun to watch.

Someone please let me know how did Gerald Henderson manage to get so many minutes? Did Stevie Graham get shot in the kneecap or something?

LB most likely meant to send in Graham but without looking pointed at Hendo instead. Being a smart guy Hendo got in before Larry realized his mistake and made the most of it.

Either that or PT was the stakes in that HORSE game.

LOL yea Hendo was reading the forum and took a page from the Ammo Ninja High Five. Exciting to see hendo get some time and also the team get up and down the floor some. Funny quote from the lakers announcers when it was like 34-32 "if the bobcats are goning to let you hang around you HAVE to take advantage of it" Good to know we still scare the crap out of laker announcers.

I love playing the Lakers.

Every game, Kobe gets pissed off, their fans get pissed off, and the Bobcats tend to play well.

Just finished watching the game ala DVR (forgive me if I'm repetitive, as I haven't been able to read the whole thread yet), and I gotta say I was happy with everybody. Ray didn't have one of his best games (by the end of it), but he hit shots early. Also, LB had the vision to play the hot hand at PG, who was DJ Augustine on this particular night.

Heck, Tyson Chandler played good in the minutes he had! As Steve Martin said, "He made double figures in 'screens set.'"

Everyone seemed to at least try to "Play the right way."

Now, I've seen this team many times before, and I know they play up-or-down to their competition. Still, I've gotta hold out some hope that this team is able to learn from the mistakes of the past [playing like they don't give a damn] and improve for the future [move without the ball, and also pass the f***ing ball]. They showed progress of that type tonight, and there is a real possibility of winning 6-of the next-7.

What a great game, though. Even Hendo (smells like outdoor) played really well in his handful of minutes. Derrick only got some garbage time, but he made sure he scored when he was out there. Great stuff all around. Go 'Cats!

[Toocool]

Wow. Hendo got more than 2 minutes. On the flip side to that, it's awesome that he got in. It would do wonders for his defensive and offensive game guarding Kobe. Jax had a stellar night, even better is that he didn't play for 40+ minutes, so next game he'll be fresher.

Can't believe I'm admitting this but TC looked GOOD out there. Gasol was really bothered by him. We really needed his length out there since Theo, TT and Tyrus wouldn't cut it against 2 7 footers.

Auggie has shown why we drafted him. If he can bring that consistantly, I will be damn happy.

UPS should play more minutes. Crash looked awesome in his minutes (that 3 at the shot clock buzzer was shweet), but they need to drop those minutes.

TT is a beast. Love how aggressive he is. Even though he'll pick up a lot of fouls, LB has given him the "License To Fly"

Great win. Let's keep it up!

[BobcatsAllDay]

The one thing I can take from tonight's game is we are extremely better on offense when our PGs are aggressive. We made a run in the disaster at Boston b/c our PG was aggressive, we put the game away tonight when our PG was aggressive and our play earlier this year was partly due to an attacking PG. So I say from this point on when we are struggling on the offensive end I'm looking for our PGs to be aggressive.

Aggressive count: 4

Amazing game. Loved everything from MJ and Nature Boy to Hendo and DJ to Tyson and Tyrus to Jack and G-Dub to LB's presser.

First, where did DJ Augustin's jump shot come from and how long is it staying?

Second, Tyrus looked like a mix of Usain Bolt, Tim Tebow, MJ, and Rodman. WOW. That kid is goooooooood.

Third, Thank God Tyson is back, he might finally be healthy. He looked very solid tonight.

Fourth, Gerald Henderson!! Wow. Playing Raja Bell-like D on Kobe and shooting solidly.

Fifth, Gerald and Jack brought it. Loved that.

Sixth, Pau is a pussy. And Dell called him out for being soft.

Seventh, MJ looked very happy. A happy boss is a good boss.

Eighth, do we have Ric Flair back from the Hornets? Sucks for you, Shinn!!

Ninth, DJ and Tyrus seem to be meshing well and that second unit would look better if UPS and Hendo got some burn with those two.

And tenth, Phil Jackson makes his assistan coaches look like 5 year olds. He has his own high chair.

Great, great, awesome, amazing, super, did I say great game!! Let's not forget how we did it.

Collapsed. I was looking in on it, and thought of that Celtics player...Bias. It happened during a Timeout. I hope he is ok.

I think you're thinking of Reggie Lewis, not Bias
