LB might ask Crash to marry him if he pulls down 20 boards again tonight.

Looks like this is becoming D.J.'s team.

He beat all the Hawks on that DJ to Flip fast break and layed it in. He also has taken good shots tonight. No signs of huffing and puffing.

Why did Checkers get rid of their curly fries? Makes no sense. I was so disappointed when I randomly went to one for the first time in a decade a few months ago.

Flip! We are fun to watch when we hit our shots. Hopefully this becomes more of an expected outcome and not an exception to the season!

Brown looks taller than I thought. He should take Vlad Rad's minutes.

Solid win! Over .500.

Great effort by the men tonight! Not shocked we won, but very surprised by the margin. Just a real butt whipping tonight. Hope they keep up the energy for Chicago.

Great effort by us, i was suprised with how easily we were winning. Hopefully we can keep this up.

Wallace is rebounding great atm, nearly 20 rebounds again. He's gotta be one of the best rebounding SF's in the league, if not the best. I saw the scores early on in the game and noticed that D.J had already scored 11. Then he didn't score again lol. Ah well, great game by Bell, was suprised with how well he was shooting. Hendo needs to get more minutes.

Well, I'm surprised we won, and shocked by the margin. Was out tonight recording, couldn't catch any of the game, and dialed up the score. Whoa! I've been in the "blow it up and make trades camp", so maybe I'm an idiot. I don't see them doing this night in and night our, but it sure makes it easy to keep things rolling and see what happens when you get results like this.

Won't shoot this well every game, but then what do I know? Murray makes a splendid debut, Bell finds his markmanship, Chandler starts to find his groove, Diaw found some rebounding, and Crash just keeps on boarding (with horrible shooting). Hope to see the Bulls game tomorrow night.

Quality Win! :rock:

raja welcome back. ON FIRE.

i loved what i saw from chandler in person tonight. after seeing him in person i have no reservations about the trade. he is a real center. he is a space eater. he talks on defense. he is leader on the floor. and he BOXES OUT. and diaw BOXES OUT. two things past bobcats teams never did. and wallace in the primary beneficiary of having a pf and c who are boxing out. we dominated the paint. its like watching the old hornets teams when we had campbell, coleman, mason etc... those teams destroyed other teams on the glass. i love this new found rebounding. we were a pretty good rebounding team last year, now we are much better. we dont give up tons of offensive rebounds like we used to do. the only time the hawks really had any offensive rebounds was the one stretch were vlad was on the floor with nazr and graham up front.

i really like flip for this team. i think he's gonna be key. he plays with a swagger. he can get his shot off anytime he wants and he knows it. he'll be really great for us in those games where the points are a struggle. he'll be able to create or get to the line.

rough game for wallace, outside of the rebounding. offense was off. got blocked at lot. too many turnovers. too many jumpers.

we hit dj 4 times on cuts into the lane. all 4 times he was open and a great pass was made and all 4 times he got blocked. what do you do in that case? they were good cuts.

sparse crowd for a friday. kinda sad.

3-0 at home.

i cant wait til henderson and brown are playing ahead of vlad and graham.

i had a little chat with the boys before the game. we are on the same page now.

He is the best rebounder in the league right now with 14.8 rpg. Bosh is second with 13.0 rpg...

[statistic pedant] Actually....Wallace leads the league in "rebounds per game," which is not an especially good measurement because Wallace had the luxury of a 2OT game that some other players didn't. A better measure of rebounding is "total rebounding percentage" or, put simply, the percentage of available rebounds that he pulled in. In THAT stat he sits 5th behind Greg Oden, Tim Duncan, Dwight Howard and Roy Hibbert.[/statistic pedant]

still, kind of amazing to see a SF up there with all those 7 foot space eaters. It's like the old sesame street game "one of these things is not like the other,"
