Portland Trailblazers at Charlotte Bobcats 1/17

[ziggy]

There will be plenty of BCP folks in the house tonight. I think the latest plan is to gather at the rooftop area between sections 215 & 216 prior to the game.

I look forward to seeing everyone. I'll be there around 6:30 with my first grade son. I'm doing my best to turn him into a Bobcats fan, but he is going 30% to see the game and 70% for the souvenirs

Portland is 24-15, 6-4 over their last 10 games and is loaded with so much young talent that it should be illegal. Brandon Roy, LMA, Fernandez, Bayless and oh yeah... Greg Oden.

Does anyone else remember this

awesome missed dunk

from his Ohio State days? Even on his misses, the dude is sick.

Tonight (and every night from here on out) we'll be without Matt Carroll and Ryan Hollins. They are off to Dallas Texas, the city that has mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds. On the court it shouldn't be difficult to replace their production. In Matt's absence, Adam is going to have step up PERIOD. And there is no better time for him to start stepping it up than tonight.

This is a chance for our first 3 game winning streak of the season. So what do you say Bobcats fans, Is it going to happen?

ILBIT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Your Thread heading threw me off. I was saying, "hey, I thought we were at home, not in Portland". I'm having all these thoughts of how Diop is going to help us that my brain is fried! Cant be messing with my head like that, Ziggy.

I am expecting a victory tonight. Portland is exhausted after 2 tough back to backs on the road and they had to travel here in between. They are ripe for the taking!

Your Thread heading threw me off.

Sorry about that, I fixed the heading. Its just another example of my fingers not typing what my brain tells it to.

brook lopez just beasted up on oden which is really pathetic

I just had a crazy thought....everyone has discussed the trade, everyone has tried to talk about where we go from here....but think about this...

We have 14 players, 2 will be inactive, and 12 will be active...

Diop has to be inactive because he hasnt cleared a physical by gametime, nor practiced...DJ is hurt and is not to play for at least 10 days, so i think he has 7 days left give or take...and of course Sean May is fat...

The question is which of those 3 are "active.." I see Shannon Brown and Lil Sean getting minutes tonight rotating on the 2 and 1 spots because Matt is no longer here to relieve Bell. Ammo clears behind Wallace.... but Does this mean possibly if we blow them out that XXL Sean can see a moment on the court?

These questions I ask in the name of Larry,
Amen.

If May cannot get on the floor in the next 2-3 weeks, I dont know he ever gets on the floor again. If he is that far out of shape, he just doesn't have the desire or heart to play the game. And that's very sad.

Agreed... He did play decent in college too, and I saw just a glimmer of what he could be when we played the OKC Thunder...but I see us just dumping the expiring contract to help someone else with cap space and get a pick instead... I wonder if he would go to the NBADL to play or if he would just wash out...

Even if I'm not really a nba specialist, I have good feelings for this game tonight.
I hope that recent wins bring confidence at maximum. I believe in our great team!
Let's go CATS!

[ammofan]

Anyone else going to this gam? I am.....since the blazers and Rudy Fernandez are my second fav. team. But of course i will be cheering for the cats.
