Steve is still having computer issues....

http://www.charlotte.com/bobcats/story/527134.html

7 p.m., Verizon Center

TV: News 14. Radio: WOLS-FM 106.1

BOBCATS UPDATE: This is their last chance to beat the Wizards, who are 3-0 this season against Charlotte. In the absence of Gerald Wallace, Antawn Jamison is a major matchup problem -- too big for the small forwards and too quick for the power forwards.

WIZARDS UPDATE: With All-Stars Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler out for long stretches, the Wizards have struggled to be .500. However, the lack of depth in the Eastern Conference might allow three sub-.500 teams to reach the playoffs.


Bobcats
PG: Felton
SG: Carroll
SF: Richardson
PF: Okafor
C: Mohammed

Wizards
PG: Daniels
SG: Stevenson
F: Jamison
F: Songalia
C: Haywood

* Haywood has averaged 17.5ppg and 8rpg against the Cats.
* The Bobcats have switched Mohammed and Dudley to start the second half in the last 4 games, with Dudley moving to PF and Okafor to center. Look for the same thing again tonight
* Cats are 4-1 since cutting McInnis, while averaging 109ppg during that 5 game stretch.
* Dudley is going for 4 straight hammers tonight.

I think it will take 35-36 wins for the Bobcats to get into the playoffs this year, which means we need to go 12-8 or 13-7 the rest of the season. Looking at the rest of the schedule, this is a must win. Period.

After seeing the lady cats up close the other night.... man, that is one scary looking group of chicks. Jordan was MIA, as was most of the cute ones... so I am putting out a ABP for the cute lady cats... and the return of ammo.

Have you seen us?

fats, great job as a spot starter. You are the site's hammer or Dud!

This is a must win if we think we got a shot at the playoffs. With the tough road trip ahead, we can not get into the playoff race if we lose at Wash!

2nd team really killed the lead....Sam might have left them in to long...

Felton has been watching Paul play... I've seen him add a little "in the paint" jumpshot recently...and it's really working. He's had some very nice assists, 8 so far...hmmm... I have to say that I might be actually seeing improvement here. Or maybe it's just a good half. Still on pace for another 100 point game... hm...

It's possible we come out of this weekend like 2 games back of the 8th spot....

I really like our use of the clock at the end of the games now. We give it to Carroll who usually gets a few free throws; we let Felton get 20 seconds off; we pick-n-roll; it's just smart.

Holy crap what a bull_**** banked 3 to get them within 7. Also, Boykins is not good defensively, please get him out right now, OK?

What is Sam doing with the lineup...it not working at the moment?

Ok HIT BOTH Felton and we win. That's easy. Right?

He got Boykins out ... good.

Ok good guys win again.

I like our close out play.

If they hadn't of hit that insane 35 foot three, it would not have even been close.

{actually there are 35 sec. left but...}

WTF? MC? With the intentional? They hit both free throws and drain a 3? WHATTT?

Good guys up 5 with 24 seconds to play, this is WAY closer than it should be. MC just killed us.
