Charlotte Bobcats at Atlanta Hawks 11/14

[spectre]

Sam Vincent: “We waited too late to really try to play with some urgency, and we let them run out on us in the first quarter, and then we realized we had to play very well to even be in this game. We’re not going to be in games if we wait until after the first quarter to start playing hard. We have to come out with a sense of urgency right from the beginning.”

Jeff McInnis said. “Even when you’re coming off a back-to-back, you can’t play like that. We just have to learn what all successful teams already know, and that’s how to win. We started off good this season, and we have to stay consistent.”

Pretty much. We came out like we were tired, and you can't do that off a back to back if you plan on going past 82 games in a season. This was especially noticable on defense, but also on offense so far as movement and screening. It looked to me like JRich was the only guy who put major total effort in that 1st quarter. Everyone else...pretty much "blah".

These guys should be used to back-to-backs. They should have been ready for a team who is just as hungry as they are to make the playoffs. It's the little things that erk the hell out of me with this team.

We were not fully rested and Atlanta was, we came out totally flat in the 1st which is where we fell behind and never could come back from....we won the 2nd 3rd and 4th quarters of the game, we will get it together.....

i see we now have doubters on the bplanet.

i'm sad about the result of the game, but in no way i'd chop our players for losing a back2back game on a 7-point differential.

@dav7z:
rep it up.

[bizzlecatz]

I'll chop the players up, and the coach too, for taking Atlanta lightly. I'm watching the games.The Catz are better then this man........Atlanta has a lot of offensive weapons, which were proven when Twiggy almost took out the whole court. Atlanta is in the division these are the games they need to win.

Do your homework, know your opponent. Back-to-Backs should never be an excuse when your trying to make the playoffs. I let the Philly game slide, because Felts was hurt, but this game can really hurt down the road.

All-in all, I want the Catz to play like I know they can, for instantace the Houston game, although they lost, they played hard.

I know I sound like a mother hen. "oh well"
