Nice game thread Steve!

Hopefully Raymond pulls his head out of his ass before this season slips away. I don't get this clown. What is wrong with you Raymond?!?!?!?!? You are getting worse!!!! :banghead:

Do not expect a win in this one after getting booted on our own court against a worse team on Friday.

Nazr revenge game means a lot of bad jumpers

The Nets game was pretty bad...and the problem was that he did nothing...to me that is worse than making mistakes...I was sitting there wondering is he sick or something...Keep Lil Boy in....

I really hope we don't come out and go ISO to Crash the entire 1st quarter... Seems like it takes the other players out of the game early...

Then again we probably can't. T. Prince will be guarding him...

I like when we Iso to Gerald and he attacks the basket early.

Against the Nets though he settled for a 10-15 foot jumper early in the shot clock and it killed any momentum we could've had.

Wallace driving to the hoop and getting fouled would pull Jmax/Sheed/McDyess off of the court, hypothetically making the job easier for Okafor/Mohammed.

Yup he's been a freaking enigma. I was a huge supporter of this guy from the time he entered the league until now, but it's at the point where he's becoming unwatchable. And we're not even asking him to be some great player, average at this point would suffice. The inconsistency is hurting us and it's affecting the entire team.

This is also hurting our franchise because we need to make some crucial decisions this offseason. How much of Rays crappy play is affecting Okafor? The rest of the team? The coaching?

And now we're forced into getting another point guard this offseason. We might need 2 point guards. The good thing is there will probably be a ton of point guards on the trade market this offseason as well as in the draft. So we should be able to upgrade at that spot if we're smart.

Chauncey Billups is going to destroy Raymond tonight. :cry:

[quote="Bowens"][/quote]I still like Ray he got us(UNC) a National Championship... I just would like to see him on another team... I'm not sure he is good for the Cats and the Cat's are not good for him... Go west young man go west...He really needs to go somewhere like the Suns and sit behind Nash a few years...

I still would want to bring in a veteran PG and then draft another one to bring along slowly... I don't want to go through the learning curve of a rookie pg especially one that has only played 1 year of collage...

To each his own...but I would rather us pass the ball around quickly and the open man take the shot. Pick and Roll or penetrate and kick out. To me it just seems like everyone else just stands around and the shot-clock tics down while Crash figures out his move. Which may end up being the ill advised 15 footer...

but anyway...Let's at least see a good game...

Yeah, he needs to go. Sad but true. I would still draft Collison and trade for a solid veteran PG.

Crash not playing.... Did not want to hear that...

I would of went with the bold pick and say a win, but not anymore with Gerald out.

Loss.

DaBassSource · Post #13 » by **DaBassSource** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 11:29 pm

We can't hit anything...we have had good looks, just not putting them down...

This is the sort of game that gets coaches fired.

Too early to make the

call?

I've never been less interested in watching the Bobcats than at this very moment.

fluffernutter · Post #17 » by **fluffernutter** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 11:43 pm

Dudley needs to get aggressive. We need a new offense. Our zone is an embarrassment.

Forgot Sunday games started at 6. Here I am!

uhh...13-31...

Carroll is the only one on the floor with BB IQ it looks like.
