1st game of a really tough stretch

@okc
@atlanta
philly
portland
NYK
@milwaukee
san antonio

i dont imagine we will be above .500 when this stretch is over.

wow, that's about as tough a stretch of games as it gets. Add in the fact that three are on the road and we play san antonio the second night of a back to back and I could definitely see us falling back to Earth.

As long as we play tough and our young players perform well, I'll be happy.

To finish .500 over this trip, we're going to have to beat some teams we have no business beating. I imagine that OKC is going to be a real eye-opener to the young guys. I'll be happy if we play solid and don't get overwhelmed by the names on the other team.

I'm really concerned about the OKC game. They have the potential to completely destroy us and it wouldn't be a good way to start this rough stretch of games. Here's hoping the guys aren't tired coming in the game.

I predict that we stay in this game for the 1st half, and then completely melt down in the 3rd quarter and lose by about 15

Also I think Ibaka is gonna have a double digit block game

The only way the 'Cats win this game is if Westbrook do his best Batman impression, and make Durant his Robin. Also, if Coach Brooks decide to give Perkins extended minutes. Get ready for the three point onslaught to continue through Kevin Martin as well. Otherwise, the 'Cats should be able to keep it interesting. I've seen a depleted Sixers team and a demoralizing Pistons squad take OKC down to the wire this season

Why stop at double-digits? MKG and Taylor get their shots blocked all too often and they almost never seem to get calls unless they're against them. Ibaka could hit Taylor across the face 100 times, Ibaka would get 100 blocks and MKG would still foul out by being in the vicinity of the foul.

If we win the 3 home games in the middle of that stretch, we will be 10 - 9. This is possible.

You guys do realize that the Bobcats are currently the best shot blocking team in the NBA while the Thunder are 4th, right? I agree that Ibaka may very well have his own block party, but that's just what he do. Even if the 'Cats had a team full of Dwight Howards', Ibaka would still get his

Bobcats win, Kemba and MKG have monster games. OKC is caught sleeping

Oh how the confidence is flying high right now! Long as we keep it within 4, we will win. That is our system this season. Win unless we get blown out.

If the refs don't call bogus fouls on MKG and Taylor we should win this even if our offense isn't great but just efficient and few turnovers. Wow, our team is gonna be awesome defensively when Henderson comes back!!!!!

win would be nice, but i don't care. just wanna see a competitive game instead of being abused by 25 points

I wouldn't be mad if we get abused by 25 points because we're about due for one but I hope not. I think we can compete and if it's close at the end, possibly win. Go Cats!

I think we have a better chance of going 20/20 from 3 as a team than winning this game.

I reckon that you're not a gambling man

You're very negative.

Biggest concern is MKG fouling out in the first 2 minutes of the game. KD went to the line 17 times the other night. 17.

Against LAC Durant was 19-21 from the foul line. The man is elite for a reason, he gets to the line very often and takes advantage of free points. It'll be interesting to see how MKG does with this tough of an assignment

I'm excited to see Hyphen and Durant match up. It'll be a tough cover for sure and he'll get beat on some plays but this kind of game is good for his development.
