Charlotte at Atlanta 1/19

[ziggy]

The Beginning of the Ryan Hollins era.............. OK, Maybe I'm jumping the gun just slightly .

It'll be interesting to see if Bernie Bickerstaff gives Ryan some minutes since he was effective in his 8 minutes in the previous game against the New Jersey Nets. It was great to have his energy on the court.

In the Bobcats previous matchup with Atlanta, we had serious problems with Joe Johnson. Who we're going to get to slow him down on Friday is a mystery, but hopefully they can do a significantly better job than they did in our previous matchup with the Hawks.
I'm predicting a 96-93 win by the Bobcats on Friday night.

"In the Bobcats previous matchup with Atlanta, we had serious problems with Joe Johnson. Who we're going to get to slow him down on Friday is a mystery, but hopefully they can do a significantly better job than they did in our previous matchup with the Hawks."

Nobody on our team can guard him, he's just too good. But it takes 5 playing as 1 to win a game, so if we can slow down the rest of the Hawks then we should be able to win it.

"I'm predicting a 96-93 win by the Bobcats on Friday night."
I don't have time to go back and look at each thread tonight but have you ever predicted a loss for us? alway the optimist huh? Good luck Cats!

Yeah, in 7 career games against us, Joe Johnson has averaged 26 points. Hopefully we can contain that, cuz he always is CLUTCH.

Fortunately, Ray is a beast against the Hawks. I expect a big game from him (30 maybe?)
Emeka has never done good against the Hawks, so we have to rely on our perimeter scoring.

It'd be really nice if Mcmay was around, he's usually productive against the Hawks.


I expect big games from our guards. Bobcats win 88 - 81.

I see Morrison going off for 30+ tonight and a huge bobcat win 108-97 bobcats. i dislike the hawks more than any other team in the nba and it is always a good game against the hawks so hopefully we can pull through.

I too am sensing a bobcats victory. I think the cats have a big advantage at PG with felton over claxton. he hopefully can go for 20+ and 10+ tonght. joe johnson gives us problems, but hopefully he can be contained. i think the cats will win in a thriller, possibly OT?

[ziggy]

I think we'll split these 2 back to back games with the Hawks. For some reason, I think we'll lose tonigt and win tomorrow.

Gerald is back, But Ray is out... Primoz is also out, so maybe we'll some minutes for Ryan Hollins.

[Dead_Real]

Just saw that Jeff is starting over Ray is Felton hurt?

Like Zig said with Premo being out I hope Hollins will see some extended minutes tonight. This is a winnable game for us we just can't allow Joe Johnson to have another one of those nights.

Edit - Nevermind it's the ankle of Ray.

We're blowing out Hawks, 62-45 8.48 left in third quarter.

It's too early to talk about conclusion, but Emeka and Crash is playing great and as long as they play in this style, we won't surrender this game.

Total domination, braging rites, but walter didnt play that well...hopefully we can win tom. night too.
