Orlando Magic @ Charlotte Bobcats 1/16

[ohara831]

J-Rich and Crash are really becoming the tandem we hoped. We came back and won behind those 2 men. I wont get onto Ray or Okafor for sub par games, but they have to play more like the previous night than tonight. They have to bring their A game if we are going to have a shot at the Playoffs!

HOLY CRAP! i can't watch these games cuz my college doesn't have the channel for it...but i checked the score in the middle of the 2nd quarter and we were down by 17...i was sad i know orlando always has our number (at least this year)...

i started watching the unc g. tech game, and i decided to check the score of the cats game a few mins ago...WOW, i shouted to my roommate, "WE WON!!!11"

he was like, "we did??!!!"

good stuff..i'm excited

J-Rich and Crash aren't shy about putting the ball up. 53 combined shots. Normally I'm on my feed the post bandwagon, but I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this win against the Magic.

Gentleman, with New Jersey losing and Charlotte winning tonight, we are a mere 3 games out of #8 spot in the east.

what the hell could possibly explain such a turn around?

I hate to hijack this thread, but you guys MUST see this video that was put together by some folks trying to get Gerald voted into the All-Star game.

Ever since the MJ locker room chat as well as the MJ/Sam meeting....

Gerald and J-rich have also gelled and really been lights out lately. Okafor has had some semblance of being a player the last couple of games. Nazr has been more productive than we could have asked. The team really has shown some heart as of late too.

Damn fun game to be at tonight!! Went from moaning and groaning, to mosoleum-like silence after getting down by even more after the half. I was seriously contemplating my exit strategy after the 3rd.....BUT something happened; something I've never seen from a Bobcats team before (yes, we've played scrappy "Bernie Ball" before, but now we have confidence and TALENT.) They started to chip away at the lead slowly but surely, then as we got below the 'teens, we fans started to actually have some hope that we could win this game. GW attacking like mad, Matty drilling 3s, GW hounding the offensive boards, JRich hitting 3s, forcing turnovers, blocking shots, just pestering the everloving crud out of the Magic, and before you knew it we were in the lead, the crowd was rockin', we made our FTs.....WE CLOSED OUT A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable!!!

Kudos to everybody on the 2nd level, where I sat tonight (and am really starting to love the guys up there!). They started an impromptu "DE-FENSE" chant without any cue from the loud-mouthed PA guy, it took hold and the majority of the arena was chanting it, and lo and behold if we didn't force a shot clock violation. It's like the players heard the gathering storm leading them on, and just stuck it to the Magic! I was giving 5 to people whom I had never seen before!

All that, and I got my GW authentic jersey, to boot!

Taking into account all these things, this was the best Bobcats game I've ever attended. (As if y'all couldn't tell!)

I was reading this article

just now about the game when I read this at the bottem about Harrington....

Bobcats F Othella Harrington, who has developed arthritis in his left knee, missed his 16th straight game.

Good lord isnt it time to step down and let the Bobcats collect some insurance money to pay your contract off Othella?

Jeeeezus. His elbow probably have arthritis from masturbating on the bench so much but that doesn't stop him from doing it.....
