And this is before the Bulls put away the Hornets and drop us back 1.5 games.

Sunday is my birthday. And what do the Cats give me? A 3 game losing streak. I think I'll give it back to them.

Not a good day...we shoulda won this game, and NO shoulda beat Chi-town

but it was the other way around. Somebody tell me I just had a nightmare

[davcbow]

I give up, no more predictions from me... The cats have let us all down... I could see us losing the last 2 games but not this one against Minnesota, its unforgivable.... I love this team but Im so pissed off right now I dont give a damn no more about this season....

Well it sucks we come off a franchise high 6 wins and being the hottest team in the east to this 3 game slide. But we have to remember also other teams have to win for us to be out.

Tonight if NJ, MIL, Knicks lose it puts all 4 of us in a tie for 9th.

Tonight Tor beats Indy ( making them 28-40)
if Memphis upsets the Pistons they drop to 7th
Boston beats Bucks ( making them 30-39)
Miami beats Philly ( making them 32-32)
Cavs will def beat the knicks ( making them 28-3
Can the clippers beat the nets ( making them 28-38 )

Would put us in tie for 1.5 back. With our next game against the raptors ( should be a win, with the Nets losing to denver)

Then on Tues,, we could be half a game out.. with Boston beating the Bulls. Would make several teams at that 8th-9th spot.

Then on weds if portland can knock off Indy, We will beat Sac, The game that sucks is the nets/knicks as both of them are on our asses, Orlando will beat the bucks, maybe the thunder can beat the bulls, rockets beat pistons and the suns beat philly
---
I guess what I am trying to say we just need to get 2 wins this week and the other clubs with us battling for 8th are facing tougher opponents. We should have 8th by Weds.

Then we just need to win a few more to build a cushion before we hit the road at the end. 8th is doable. March 31st and April1st is the bastard dates. We play Lakers and Boston back to Back then Miami on the 3d,, ending the season with Orlando. And a lot of must wins against the bulls, knicks, philly etc. This is getting exciting as they all have a harder closing schedule than us ( in regards to over under .500 teams)

I love the confidence. But honestly, my heart has been ripped out by their play and this 3 game lsing streak. I'm afraid to get hopeful again. That's sad.

So sad. It just hurts. Try to keep up hope, but the fear of a letdown is strong. What to do, what to do.

...root for them on Monday.

Come on, they just had a classic let down against an under estimated opponent...walked thru one.

It's the NBA, it happens to nearly every team now and then, and the Bobcats aren't exactly extraordinary. We're better than every team we're competing against for the eight seed, but otherwise still a pretty mediocre team. That's still a huge improvement over where we've been.

It's a process, and there's a lot left to do for this team to contend; whether we make the playoffs or not.

[Keetch]

It'll be interesting to see if the guys toughen up after this one and start a closing run. Hopefully, they're as angry as we are over the game. Though sometimes when I have a bad day all I do is eat a cheese burger and watch tv.
