Tonight we'll be without Gerald Wallace (Crash) due to Bynum's cheap shot in the 4th quarter of last nights game. He is laying in a hospital bed in LA with a collapsed lung and a cracked rib. On the court it will be difficult to replace his production. In his absence, Adam is going to have step it up PERIOD, and there is no better time for him to start stepping it up than tonight to show us that his draft pick wasnt a waste. Shannon Brown stepped it up last night when he had to and its looking like we will see the return of Sean May, he better be in "hand out a ass whipping mode" if he is given the chance. We need to win tonight for Gerald and to help out our standing in the standings... We will be tired but I think Gerald's demise should be the incentive to win this game for our 7th road win...

Tired legs , Felts playing over 53+ mins and and most ever one else playing over 40+
Missing Wallace our most athletic player. Coming off a dubble overtime victory with the leagues best . Then add a second night of the back to back. Thats one damn steep hill to climb allso add in the fact we playing a very nice young playoff team .
If we can somehow win this game tonight people is going to have to step up who hasn't all year.


Shan, Morrison, May, Diop , Nazz time to step up......

ESPN Radio reported a while ago that Wallace is out of the Hospital but I have yet to see it confirmed anywhere else

As for tonight - Go Bobcats - glad its on TV - this would be a hell of a win all things considered

Back to back road games is tough. Especially when the first night was a double OT. Now without Crash makes it even tougher. It will take a super human effort tonight. I wish DJ could come back 2 nights early. We will really need his scoring tonight.

Hate these late games, by the time they start it'll have already been past 4am here, and it's a week-day, and I have classes, and it's bloody cold outside...

No Gerald, drained from last night... whatever happens, I won't hold it against the guys. If they squeeze out a win somehow, then all's neat.

I think we should still win this game. It will be harder, but the team's still capable. However, should we lose, I won't cry in my chai.

Unless it's a blow-out...

Wonder if we'll let the new D-Leaguer play some minutes or if he'll sit inactive having not practiced with us...if he's inactive maybe may or even better DJ will play
