I know that the Miami Heat have the superpowers, but for some odd reason I have a really good feeling about the game on Friday night.

Are you guys feeling it?

We need the victory against Miami because Saturday night we have the 2nd end of a back to back against Phoenix (who is getting their tails handed to them tonight-down 28 points at halftime with Nash nursing a hurt back and in street clothes). But Phoenix will have a 2 game losing streak and 6-6 record and an extra night of rest over the Bobcats.

I predict a 4 point Bobcats victory.

The beginning of a two game losing streak.

When we play them after New Year's, it'll be a different story, but we're not even in December yet. LB's teams suck right about now.

Terrific 2nd half rally. Fell a bit short in the last 5 minutes. But losing their composure is not good. They have to be mentally tougher.

Great game, I'm really proud of everyone outside #3 (and partially #32), that was a terrific comeback, and had a few insane shots by the Heat not gone in, the game would be in OT right now. I'm shocked they led in the 4th, and hopefully Tyrus is ok, because we'll need him tomorrow.

I know we lost, but

If LB did bench DJ, might be kinda fun to see if DJ just blasted him in the press. I mean, if we are going to suck, at least we can have some drama to watch. Maybe DJ should say to the press tonight, "Yeah, Larry is having issues with senility and needs to retire." Something to really piss him off and let the press go crazy. Then the Bobcats would be the talk of the NBA!

You're dead on it. I'm thoroughly disappointed in Crash. He fell back into that old habit of his of letting calls get into his head. Some nights aren't your night and tonight wasn't his. There's no need to compound it with that attitude. I really expect more out of him and I hope he leaves that mess in South Beach.

All that said, I'm very happy with the rally. Shows what this team can do when they take care of the ball and up their defense. Hopefully they can get it together tomorrow night.

Honestly, this game showed me they're still a playoff team. Think about it, we somehow had 7 playoff teams in the first 12 games and only had one blowout. For a Larry Brown team, that's pretty good. If a few breaks go our way, we're 9-2. And, we're also one game ahead of where we were last year. If we keep that pace up, it's a 50 win season...

I think DJ riding the pine down the stretch was more about height. We went Athletic Jumbo (4 6'7"+ athletes and Boris) to stop the Heat offense and force them into some ill advised jump shots, it worked and Livingston did a good job on the offensive end. DJ's shown a thick skin so far this season, I'm sure he'll be back in the saddle tomorrow night (hopefully Nash's back spasms will flair up around 7:01 p.m.).
