I believe with the way we are playing we can take them down on their court for our 6th road win of the season.... Go Bobcats!!!!!

I especially think this is winnable considering we beat them at their house in the early part of the season with Sean May putting in a whopping 3 points in 18 min on an OT game...

Since the last game with the Pacers we have made "the trade" and "the other trade" now admittedly the other trade hasn't been proven yet, "The trade" sure has, and I don't think we'll have a PF giving us 3 points... That said as well we wont have Ray giving us 30+ or DJ giving us any, so the game is still loose, but I don't see us losing unless we make lots of old habit mistakes..

Lets Go Cats!

Pacers seem hapless and they are truly the 2nd worst team in the eastern standings but like the link i posted in the blog, they play more close games than anyone in the league. Grainger is scoring like a madman, hitting them threes and stuff. I don't know what will happen but i have a feeling it's going to be a good game to watch. the Pacers frustrate me because it really seems like it should be a run and an easy win but they play well, fun to watch because of that factor.

They've won their last 4 at home. I expect a very competitive game.

Winning games like this one puts you in the playoffs . Losing games like this keeps you out. I could see a let down after the Suns game. Can we play bad games and still win , have we turned that connor yet . Bobcats win sloppy close road game the mark of a playoff team.

Fellow fans, I am actually leaving for the game right now. My sister lives in IN and got me tickets for the game. I flew up for the weekend so I will be coming back to Charlotte tomorrow morning. Look for me at the game, I am sure there will not be many Bobcat fans there. i went last year and Ammo went crazy on them, it was a great game. i expect it to be competitive, but feel pretty confident we come out with a victory. Go Cats!

This game makes me nervous. Whenever we have played well in the recent past and had a series of good games, we then found a way to flub a game we should have won. We have been playing very well lately, and we are a better team than the Pacers. And this worries me as the following games on this road trip are much tougher and I dont want to see us take the Pacers for granted and not be prepared. This game is one where LB needs to make sure everyone is ready to come out completely focused and fired up. Would hate to see us start this road trip out by losing a very winnable game. We need this game today.

I think LB is the complete coach and he will let it be known those very thoughts about this game... 1 game at the time.....

As reported by Bonnell, Larry gave the guys a day off of practice yesterday. That makes me even more nervous. I really hope that was the right idea, but as Ziggy so eloquently put, ILBIMFT.

Give them time off, as long as may doesn't go to dairy queen and krispy kreme, the added morale boost (and rest) couldn't hurt the team... Playing ball the way these guys do a day off isnt going to make a break them...
