Charlotte Bobcats at Indiana Pacers 11/28

[ziggy]

Danny Granger... Maybe you've heard of the guy.
23.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg, just a shade under 2 blocks per game. He is rugged as hell playing in 253 out of 259 games over his career.

Insert passing over Granger for Sean May tirade HERE.

Enough of that, The Pacers are 6-8 and coming off of a 1 point win against the Rockets. Granger has been ripping it up, but looking at the rest of their roster there isn't much to be concerned about. Marquis Daniels is their 2nd leading scorer . TJ Ford is giving the Pacers 14.8ppg and 5.2 apg, decent but certainly nothing to write home about and definitely not something that we should have given up Gerald Wallace for when those discussions were happening around the draft this past summer. Another player of interest on their roster is Roy Hibbert, The word is that Big Roy was really the player that the Bobcats had their sights on at #20 in this past draft instead of Alexis Ajinca. He is only getting about 10 minutes per game but I'm looking forward to see what he does in the game tonight. I was a big Hibbert Proponent.

So whats the deal guys? Do we get win #5 tonight?

I was reading a review of the Rookie class, and they had Hibbert as one of the more disappointing so far this season - for what it's worth. We may have come out better with Ajinca, but we'll know in a couple years.

As for this game, I have a feeling we play well tonight. I think our Cats are going to pull it out tonight. 96 - 85.

[bing!]

I see Troy Murphy goin' berserk on the Cats tonight, his last two games...



I shudder at the thought of Emeka guarding him.

I don't think Granger can do the damage Bosh did last game. We should match up well if Swish is back it should be win number five for the good guys. The defecce is getting better by the game, We out class them in the back court with our three headed monster. We out class them at the three with all ways Dare Devil CRASH. I think our frunt court holds down Granger and Murphy, GOOD guys by ten,. with May geting his first 10 point preformance this year,

I was probably the happiest guy on the site when we took May. Nobody knew he was going to have injuries like this. Everybody knew he was out of shape. I thoght playing more games and getting paid would light a fire under him. It may still happen, I'm not confident of that though. Unless we make some serious trades and get at least 2 more big men we'll be the projected number 1 pick next year. Which means ofcoarse that we will have the worst pick in the draft. I pick Indiana by 15. troy, and granger will whoop up on us. I'll root as hard as everybody else on the board, but if I were to bet I take Indiana and 10 pts.

Are there any big guys in this draft? Freaking Nbadraft.net has us taking a SF. If we do that I'll drop the NBA entirely. Unless ofcoarse we trade all of our current ones for big guys....

Sorry I haven't been around much. I'll be more active now. The computer I have is a free one, as well as the monitor, so I shouldn't complain, but it has 32 ram, and 7.85 gb on the hard drive.....POS

[Muttley]

I think we get win #5 tonight.

Welcome back JonathanMartin7,

In all honesty, I was comfortable with the Sean May pick at #13 back at the time that he was drafted because he was a force during that championship run for the TarHeels.

It just boggles my mind that he has done so little in his time in the NBA.

I am feeling a win tonight.....big game from DJ once again

[bing!]

With Jason out of the picture it all boils down to whether the Cats' outside shots start fallin' in or not. I'm just hoping that Larry will come to his senses and rest Carroll for a couple of games, let him get his composure back through some grueling practice sessions.

EDIT: Cats@Pacers, <-- link to a stream, some say it's audio-only, I, myself, am not sure.
