New Orleans Hornets at Charlotte Bobcats 12/28

[ziggy]

The way that CP3 is playing, he absolutely scares the crap out of me for Friday night's game. Ray is going to have to step up, He usually plays well in this matchup, but Chris has raised his level of play way up this year.

It always feels good to get a win against the Hornets and scumbag traitor owner George Shinn. Lets hope that tomorrow night that we can make it happen.

I know what you mean Ziggy. It's gonna be a task for Felts. I just hope we don't try sticking Jeff on him. I'll be at the game. Let's come away with the win. Go Cats!

We will find out what Felts has got for sure against the (CP3) Hornets. I's like to see this be the break out game for Felt's and the Bobcats, but we are going the have to play defence!!!. It does'nt matter how many points we score if we cant stop them from out scoring us.
Defence!..Defence!..Defence!....No better than we play offence, all we need to do is play good defence and we will win half of our games add better offence to that and we will win 60% of our games....

Speaking of defense, what about the matchup in the paint?

Emeka Okafor vs. Tyson Chandler

13.8 ppg vs. 11.5 ppg
10.6 rpg vs. 11.9 rpg
1.8 blocks vs. 1.2 blocks
52% Fg vs. 60% FG

They also have a PF in West who can stretch the offense...and as we know from the past couple of games those guys always seem to eat our lunch.

That's going to be great seeing those to defensive beast going at each other.

Paul had a crazy stat line the other night something like 40 points, 9ast, 5 boards, and 5 steals. Hopefully Felts comes out and plays with a chip on his shoulder playing against CP3 as Zig said earlier I heard he looked terrible against the Wizards.

This is one of those games where I just feel a loss coming no matter how much I try to picture us winning. I hate the matchups. We just do not line up well with the Hornet's strengths. Home against the Hornets, and then on the road at Orlando for another of the back to backs with which we struggle so mightily. Ouch, I see 10 - 18 by late Saturday night. I wish I had a better feeling, but I dont.

OK. Game over. We got whipped again. I was wrong on one of the match ups. What a great game between Nazr and Tyson. 17 and 17 for Chandler and 15 and 14 for Nazr. J-Rich was OK, and that is about all the good for us I can say. Okafor was 10 and 13, but it was meaningless. Crash was off, and Ray just flat out showed he is not up to par with CP3 by a mile! 17 pts and 11 assts compared to 4 pts 4 assts and 3 TOs. Pathetic.

The only weakness that we have so far is our defence and free throws if we just work hard on that we would have a much better team.

OFF TOPIC: When are we getting our new jersey

welcome michael.

I feel good about this game. Felton really does step his game up against Paul. its easily a great matchup with the two quickest players in the game right now.

To be honest i think Paul is overrated a little bit. Sure he gets numbers and has the flash... and he is no doubt a great basketball player. But that doesnt equal wins. i feel like if we really wanted to, we could unleash Crash, Rich or Felton and label them "the guy".... and they would rack up points and assist like Paul can. The Hornets are starting out strong and look pretty good... but believe me they arent going anywhere. That will be a one trick pony show for the length of Pauls contract for sure.

That whole concept of Paul being the Hornets.. "guy" I I think part of this teams problem is that there is no identity... as a team nor as individuals. Hopefully we start to click as the season continues and we find an identity that works.

Go Bobcats.

Go to hell George Shinn... you are the scummiest person alive and you look sticky to the touch. I hope you die. Go Bobcats.

Nice dunk by Richardson glad he didn't settle for the J even though he was wide open.
