Charlotte Bobcats at Orlando Magic 2/17
Everyone is back and healthy. If we are going to make a playoff run, then over these last 30 games is when we need to make it happen.
First up after the All-Star break is the 12-foot basketball goal dunking Superman Dwight Howard. Mek played him great the last time that they met, hopefully he can contain him again.
Thoughts on tonight's game?

Everyone is back, but its their first game back. I still don't see larry chancing starting Wallace yet, wallace will likely be our 6th man.
What to do, what to do...
I don't know how much we can hope to get from Gerald Wallace. It shows how much of a bad ass the guy is that he would even play this soon.
The big story for me is do we go Diop at center and Mek at power forward to free up Mek from Howard and to outsize the Magic for rebounds. This is the first time we have played them with Diop on the roster.
Not to mention now we have Diaw at 6'9" and Vlad at 6'10" who could match up fairly well with their tall forwards and also pull them out of the middle to open lanes for drivers. Gerald can match up with either of their tall forwards as well. We are a totally different team from the last time we played the Magic and I have a feeling the league has no idea how to scout us right now. We can put such different looks on the court that they never know whether we are going to space the floor with shooters, space the floor for slashers, run a post-up game with Wallace and Diaw and Mek down low, run crazy ball movement with Felton DJ and Boris or what. We are in for a fun end of the regular season. Then when the playoffs start those of us "outer market" fans will finally be able to see a game on TV!
Right now the scouts say "It's the bobcats...oh they got Diop but he sucks..its the bobcats, vlad can't make a big difference he barely played with the lakers...its the bobcat's, we have this game in the bag."
I like the option of going big with Diop on the 5.. Maybe we could go HUGE and play (5-1) Diop, Mek, Vlad, Diaw, Felton/DJ.
I'm still of the opinion that Wallace won't play many (if any) minutes tonight...and if Ray doesn't start we all can guess why.
What to do, what to do...
Also, Vlad could guard Turkey Glue all the way out to the 3 point line. He is quite an acquisition.
What to do, what to do...
I think we have a legit chance to win tonight against these magic genies.... We are a entirely different team now and we play totally different than we did then....
......Go Bobcats!!!!! !!!..
Yeah, and there isn't much film for them to watch to predict what we're going to do. I sat insanely close at the wizards game (had player and ref butt in my face during one of the out of bound toss ins at half court), and sitting that close I find myself wondering what "Side-out" "Side-3" and "3-2-out-in" mean because both Ray and DJ used those words and some hand signals to tell everyone what to do...

Seriously tho, Vlad only has 2 games, probably now he knows the cats system, just as Cartier does, but neither of them has played with Wallace and cartier hasn't played much with bell, so what we might do is hard to predict as the other team.
What to do, what to do...
I agree with all these points which makes me worried we'll get slaughtered....I think we have a legit chance to win tonight against these magic genies.... We are a entirely different team now and we play totally different than we did then....
