Bright Spots 

Post#1 » by fluffernutter » Mon Nov 3, 2008 12:09 am

List them so far.

I have two.

1) We actually seem to have effective in-bounds and end-of-quarter plays now. That's probably worth 1 or 2 additional points a game. Significant.

2) I saw Felton throw a perfectly-timed pass to JRich coming off a screen who caught it, turned, squared up, and knocked down the jumper... effortlessly. This indicates that the LB system, whatever you call it, can click with our team. The question is, how much, how often, and how quickly.

Ammo hasn't been hitting shots, but when he is out there the offense runs much smoother. He is just as good a passer as our PG's, which is why he has been on the floor and Carroll hasn't.

Watching the game yesterday we acted like a well coached team, for the first time I have seen in a long while. On offense, we were passing up wide open shots to make extra passes, and it worked. Our transition game was wonderful.
I don't support domestic violence. Thanks Miles

I was at the game on Sat and they looked really good. I am eager to see how they look against the Pistons tonight with JD in the starting line up,

Without a doubt the effort...I have been one of the most negative when it comes to this team but the effort they displayed Saturday night was great...It got the whole arena into it and it felt like we were truly a NBA team....even if they lose 50+ plus games if they play with the passion, effort & look like they are trying I will be a happy Bobcat fan...well not really but you know what I mean....

Another thing I really liked was that I was in Row I on the lower level about 8/9 rows behind the bench & everytime Crash or JRich would come to the bench they would come sit beside MJ and you could actually see him "coaching 'em up" and they seemed very receptive...I also saw MJ have a fun laughs & conversations with the ref's and we actually got some calls and Wade didnt actually get the 100 phantom calls he usually gets.....
