Good chance they may rest Wade. Regardless it will be a tough one to pull out. Plane was delayed last night in OKC and were terrible in back to backs.

I wish I could be optimistic about this game, but I can't. The fact that Kemba nor Henderson has offered Jefferson any legit help on the offensive side of the ball the past two games, I don't think that changes against the streaking Miami Heat. I'll just hope that Charlotte come out of this game unscathed from any injury, and I'll be rooting for Brooklyn, New York, & Washington to lose tonight for the Bobcats' sake

I actually have a pretty good feeling about this game. I don't know exactly why after the last 2 games.

I think this is a game where our "Big 3" come to play.

I agree gehenherzog. We were very close Vs the Spurs and the Thunder, two exceptional teams, and did that without a lot of help depth wise.

I can see us getting it together for this one as well with Kemba and Hobe/McBobcat/Neal really putting up numbers (along with Big Al of course).

They won't have an answer for Jefferson, but we absolutely need Kemba to show up.

This.

Also Gerald needs to show that he is at least competent

Forget Al. Forget Kemba. Forget Gerald.

This game is all about MKG. After two terrible offensive performances the past two games, he needs to show that he can provide some type of offense in big games against strong teams. ...And if the pressure wasn't enough, he needs to limit Lebron as much as possible.

I have faith in him though.

These 3 in 4 stretches aggravate the pi$$ out of me. The NBA can spin it however they like, but half of NBA news is injury related, 25% is tanking related, 15% is Heat related, and the remaining 10% is a mishmash of Durant, bad behavior and the isolated gun incident. If one of our guys gets injured tonight, well I'll, I'll, well I'll...I'll call Mr. Silver a really bad name.

60 some odd games would make for a great season.

I don't get a warm and fuzzy about tonight's game - we've done a great job staying competitive lately, but I can see this being a 'white flag' game.

Heat fans are the worst, in case you were wondering. If you don't believe me, go check the game thread on their board. Already got flagged for sticking up for the Bobcats.

Exactly. More than anything right now during this 4-game stretch, I'm just hoping they escape without a major injury. Playing 4 of the best teams in 6 days in such a competitive nature can be overtly exerting on the body

we usually play Miami close, we might have a chance in this, put in CDR to punch LeBron in the nose and we will have a good chance

sorry you got suspended. word of advice, don't spend much time in the game threads on the other team's board. it will only make you angry and it usually wont end well. the cats will get zero respect from any fanbase until we win some meaningful playoff games. stick to the general board, the player comparison board and here and you'll be fine.

there are definitely some obnoxious, arrogant heat fans on these boards (and everywhere). i guess that's to be expected for fans of the best and latest bandwagon team. certainly not all their fans fall into that category, but generally frontrunners are some of the most annoying fans in all of sports. we all grew up with a few guys who are duke/unc/kentucky college basketball fans, a yankees/red sox baseball fans, bulls/lakers/celtics/heat nba fans, cowboys/patriots/steelers nfl fans, barcelona/real madrid/man united soccer fans... and were all born and raised in north carolina and had never visited any of those places.

Yeah I wouldn't bother going over to their board, they're likely salty about that video we aired last time they came to town. Bitches probably wanted Ben Gordon on their bench too.

By the way, does anybody have a link to that or did the Miami Heat yank that video?

if we play like we did last night we will lose by 20. not expecting much tonight.

Wade and Hendo out tonight

Hendo not playing. I might throw a house party watching the game tonight how I feel hearing that good news.

oh no

who will shoot all those terrible fadeaway jumpers now?

This might be the change in the starting lineup I suggested in last nights game thread dressed up as a convenient injury. We'll see.

Hopefully we beat the Heat by 20 and Clifford roll with this lineup the rest of the season.
