Charlotte Bobcats at Milwaukee Bucks 1/2

[ziggy]

The last time that we played the Bucks, We had Jason Richardson and Sean May in the starting lineup. That seems like 100 years ago doesn't it .

We're playing much better ball that we were when we matched up with them back in early December. With the way that our team is currently constructed we've gone 4-4 over the last 8, unfortunately for us the Bucks have heated up too going 6-4 over their last ten.

Suffering through the finish of our last game was like having to eat a crap sandwich... Come on Bobcats, don't make us eat another one tonight.

Thoughts on tonight's game.

If only they could close a game. We play great for 42-46 minutes and then everything from practice goes in the crapper... I am seeing less and less Ham Biscuit ball though, i.e. 3 pointers or long 2s with 18 seconds on the shot clock. How that works for the Knicks I dunno, but we need to get inside. We seem to win games when we have 50+ points in the paint and at least 15+ assists.

I'll be watching this one and praying...we've got a long way to go to .500. Maybe he should try the lineup that almost stole the game against the pistons.

[bing!]

With D.J still aching from a sore ankle, Raymond receiving all the bad vibes from Cats' fandom, Adam in a shooting slump, no-good Matt, raw Sean, big Sean, Diaw-confuse-a-teammate, I say we'll win this one by 6+. I'm serious.

Adam in a shooting slump? Dont you have to have been a good shooter to be fairly construed as falling into a slump? I think it is more of his typical NBA career so far. I think the few games his Rookie year where he shot well was by far the exception. I know I'm being fairly harsh on him, but I think I am at least being fair and accurate.

But I agree with Bobcats by 6. Start of the New Year with a road victory!

^ well, he did shoot .394 (still an awful percentage) through November, and is now (December) at a dismal .289, so yeah, that's a slump, i.e. a lousy (?) player can indeed get even lousier.

OK, I can buy that: a lousy player can indeed play even lousier!

Everyone just imagine where we'd be today if they kept the biscuit around. We'd probably have drafted Ryan Anderson or someone else who went late with our 9th pick, not had a 20th at all, still had J-rich, and maybe we would have traded Dudley for some team's junk because he never got played (like Hermann).

There is always a silver lining. We are 2-3 new players away from pulling up to 50%...

I can't even guess on what will happen tonight. The Bobcats need to take the Panthers nick-name for a while. The Bobcats are the true Cardiac Cats...They usually get blown out ,fight back, then lose in the last seconds on some wide open 3pt or lay up. We as fans get soexcited watching them fight back only to have our heart broken in the last few minutes.

Any word on Bell starting?

I can't come up with enough preview material about the Bucks to do a full preview blog for tonight. I did find some stuff on a couple sites that was kinda interesting:

This guy says it's the busiest night in the NBA. I guess with every team playing yeah, can't get much busier than that. Bell out, Hammer in? If the Bucks jump out to a 10 point lead in the first 5 mins i'm going to start to really have a problem with that decision. Also, I disagree that Bogut plays well against Okafor.

Sports Business Daily had something: BOBCATS: In Charlotte, Rock Bonnell reported the Bobcats will keep their games on WOLS-FM for the rest of the season "despite the station's impending switch ...

http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/t...spx?id=4200704 Just like an AP story or something nothing serious

I don't know Milwaukee doesn't scare me much but neither did NYK. I'll be watching again for hopefully a good start to a home and home, then they roll into town and we can beat them again....like NJ, wait no we beat NJ then lost, nope, nothing is really consistent for this team or the Bucks either.
