Hey phxsunsrock: I can have it changed for you within 48 hours if you want to commit?

Awesome game! Starters were terrific and dominated the Suns!

Our bench must improve if we are to continue to win, especially when we go on the road to Indiana, LA and Portland next week.

I am not liking the Diop trade - at all.

Right now, Nazr plays better than Diop. And that isn't a good thing at all. That is really scary, cause my 88 yr old grandmother plays better than Nazr.

LB post game:

Our D was about as good as we have played. We moved the ball. Didn't turn the ball until the 4th. Great shots. Unbelivable game. Don't know if we could play any better.

Thankfully we have 3 bugs because they got into trouble against Shaq.

Aside from Shaq inside, we defended everyone pretty good.

Crash had an Unbelivable half.

Raja didn't ave shots but had 6 assists and defended well in the 1st half.

So proud of Raja. He does all the little things. Boris - what can you say? He was phenominal.

We beat a good team tonight pretty handedly. That wouldn't have happened before the trade.

LB had no clue how to coach this team during training camp. Nothing seemed to work. But now with the guys on the roster we have, things are 1,000 times better. Our players have improved - especially Emeka, Gerald and Raymond. Gerald is flirting with the triple double every game.

The coaches are doing a better job. We rebound better, we play better, we pass better, we take better shots.

MJ has changed he team. He has changed the culture.

We have a brutal stretch coming up. Told the guys tonight was the 1st game of the road trip. Winning at home in front of a full house and playing great is a good sign.

DJ has tomorrow off - something LB doesn't usually do. Hopes that DJ will play on this road trip.

Agreed. I thought our bench got an F over that final 8 mins.

As long as Boris wears a Bobcats uniform, I will follow this team so you can have it changed. And bobcatsrock works for me (i don't have much more inspiration at the moment).

I was just saying over at BCP that I was nervous as hell about this game. We'd been playing so well over the past 6 or 7 so I was wondering if the bubble might burst tonight.

Instead, we came out and squashed a pretty good team.

Not sure if I've ever experienced this feeling before with the Bobcats!

I don't know what to do!! Usually around this time I would be going to bed and stewing over what we did wrong and what we should have done right.

Best go grab me a beer instead!

All I have to say is wow. I just got home from the game and it was a sellout or at least it looked like it. Cat's played great. I know how you feel, usually I come home from a game pissed off but now I see the Cat's playing better and I feel good......I can't help but to think that as soon as I get high something will happen to piss me off again but it has not happened.......GO CAT'S

Very nice game. While it's far too soon to say we've arrived, the train is definately on the track and picking up steam.

Also time to tip our cap to Larry Brown and the players. Getting Diaw and Bell, the work Crash is doing to adapt to the system, Okafor usually being a force (except against very big Centers), Felton becoming a better shooter (WELL, ...NOT REALLY!).

As others have said, our depth is poor. It's a shame we're stuck with Ammo,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Sorry..I fell asleep typing as his play is akin to counting sheep.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Wow! I just got online and when I look at the NBA scoreboard, I was shocked and glad that the Bobcats owned the Suns! :devil:

They should keep playing like this and we will get a spot for the playoffs in no time.

thanks for the a$$-kicking. Hopefully this loss will help us fire Kerr or Porter or both. I'm happy for Diaw and Bell though.

After reading the Phoenix board, I was kind of hoping that the Suns would fire their coach. Then we could earn the moniker "coach killers" after having dispatched of two coaches in the last two games (Iavaroni was fired in Memphis after we beat them a few days ago).
