Charlotte Bobcats @ Philadelphia 76ers 11/18

[Walt Cronkite]

Mark Jackson's passing ability was one of a kind but LB never had to worry about him trying to take over a game. He did not have that in his bag of tricks. And as I stated Chauncey said it himself sometimes you have to let LB's rants go in one ear and out the other. Give LB Pooh Richardson, Eric Snow, or Haywoode Workman and he is fine w/ that. I think what LB needs to realize is when he had those PGs they were sharing the backcourt w/ All-Star caliber guards. I know it's not in his nature but I wish LB would take a slightly more laid back approach w/ Ray and even more so w/ DJ.

I see what you're saying. I wish we could get to the bottom of why Felton things taking over a game is in his bag of tricks if it wasn't in Jackson's. Maybe he didn't watch the Pacers as much as I did when he was developing but followed LB's Pistons so he thinks playing like Chauncey is the thing to do??

I think this issue will be solved within the next 2-3 games. Ray didn't have anyone to defer to at the end of games. Now we have a "closer" or the next best thing in Jackson so I see him taking the big shots at the end of games. Hopefully this will make us better at the end of the day (or game!). I don't want Ray to lose his agressive nature at the end of games but instead of driving to score everytime we will get some drives and kick outs for open looks for Jack and Boris (he missed tonight but hit in the Bay last year, win some, lose some).

This loss stung me. Hard. I'm sorry, but if these point guards don't start showing up and doing what a POINT GUARD is supposed to do (run and facilitate the offense) then someone needs to go. Everyone except Raymond/DJ looked good tonight. Jackson is the marquee player who can score, Gerald is the banger who will do everything under the radar, Flip is your bench man, Boris is your smooth big, Tyson looked good while he was out there, and Nazr has been rock solid the past few games.

And then we have the point guards. Raymond sucked passing the ball tonight, did his usually stupid ass drive that FAILS EVERY TIME late in the game, and we lost. The look on Gerald Wallace's face at the end of the game says everything I was thinking. We should have won that game, but our point guards failed us again.

Get Felton the hell outta here. He still has a little trade value with an expiring contract, and who knows, maybe he needs a change of pace. He holds us back, and I'd like to see him gone.

Please feel free to poke around larry coon's CBA FAQ to see how hard it will be to trade Felton considering the bird rights he'd have to void and his qualifying offer contract status.

We missed the chance to trade Felton for an asset last February.

Disappointed by the loss.I seriously don't know why Felton is trying to win the game for us. Should dish it to Cpt. Jack. Even though he wasn't shooting well, I much prefer for him to have the ball than Felton.

the biggest problem with our pg's and maybe lb's offense is that we have far too many possessions that get no where offensively and end in a shot-clock winding down heave. we spend too much time dribbling at the top, waiting for the pick at the top, waiting for everyone to get set-up and hesitating on the first pass. i counted at least 5 possessions that this happened. ray's problem is he is either way to passive or the only aggression/hurry-up he knows is to take it to the hole or shoot it himself.

...I'll sing this song again...TOs and missed FTs...the PGs both playing like crap does not help either...maybe we should all be Thrilled Law was included with Jax...

I say either trade Felton or not allow him to play the last 2 minutes of any quarter.... The Orlando game we looked damn good with Felton and DJ out of the game... LB needs to get it in his head our PG's aren't that good and have NO BUSINESS being in the game near the end of the game... I think its time to try Law at the point and see whats up with him or make a trade... I cringe every time I see Felton with the ball trying to shoot... Something has to be done if we ever want to be a winner.... Disappointing loss....
