Should be a really good game.

As one of the few of us on here that's optimistic about this season I hope we win because I don't want to see us 0-2.

The Bobs exercised options on Biz Kemba and MKG

The Bobcats beat the Cavs by double-digits both preseason games by forcing them into turning the ball over. That's the biggest key for Charlotte to win this game tomorrow night

MKG and Taylor have got to show up in this one. They've got nobody to matchup against them defensively.

Will Andrew Bynum play? He played last night and made a couple plays and went back to the bench. Looks in worse shape than Al right now. Neither should play.

Thompson is becoming a pretty nice player. He worries me almost as much as Irving.

I have a feeling though that it will be Waiters scorching us tomorrow night.

We need a big game from either McBobcat, Al, Biz or Rex.

bobcats are 6-3 all time in home openers. two loses to the pacers and one loss to the wizards (first ever game).

Per @PDcavsinsider it's yet to be determined whether center Andrew Bynum will play for Cavs against the #bobcats Friday.

M.S. Boyer/J. Valade ‏@PDcavsinsider 1h
Mike Brown says Andrew Bynum's status for Fri-Sat games in Charlotte & Indy to be determined pregame. Not definitely in/out for either/both.

with Cliffords decision to only play 3 wings, might we see Gordon instead of Taylor?

That's going to be interesting to monitor

Doubt it. One poor game isn't going to make Clifford sit our promising wing, who is likely our 2-guard or 6th man of the future.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Zeller/Bennett matchup.

I'm expecting that MKG will have a big game.

He was much more impressive than the box score suggested against Houston.

The Cavs are fast becoming one of the most popular 'League Pass' teams in the league and there should be a few eyes on this game.

Hope that Charlotte give a good account of themselves

Just passed Andrew Bynum on the sidewalk walking in to work. He was mozying around in sweats looking a lot like a hobo. The team must be staying at the Omni downtown.

That is all.

I want to see Al get 20 pts and 10 boards
Kemba get 15 points on at least 45% shooting and 8 assists
MKG get 15 and 8 rebounds
Henderson get 15 and 5 assists
Mcbob get 15 and 10 boards
Sessions 5 or more assists
Zeller get 10 and at lest 6 rebounds
Biz 7 pts and 10 rebounds 2 shots blocked and the Biz finger wave after he yells in a heavy African accent "don't you shoot a weak shot in Bismack house"
if all of these happens, most importantly the last one, we should do well.

Bobcats have to shoot better from the free throw line tonight. Not that it would have won us the game in Houston, but it would have made it awfully close. MKG needs to remain aggressive in driving to the bucket and Jeff Taylor HAS TO BE the guy from the preseason. Given his minutes and expectations he has to get more aggressive.
And as always, I am rooting for Biz to bust the box score open!

wow, man, that's a reach. if all of these things could happen at the same game, we'd be a legit playoff team.

Back after a preposterous 12 hour ban from the forums..

Wouldn't surprise me if this game went to OT
