They may very well murder us. Just have to hope they have an off night and we sneak out with the V.

Just a silly question. Why is Yao's speed registered as higher than Okafors in that picture?

Do not question the ways of the NBA Jam meters.

I really, really, really think we should go with a line up that is:

Felts Vs Brooks
Raja Vs Artest
Diaw Vs Battier
EO50 Vs Scola
Gana Vs Yao

I think that Raja could get inside Artests head pretty quickly and put him off his game. Gana might be able to bother Yao a little more with his length and EO50 is a good match up for Scola.

The we have Crash coming off the bench giving us much spark along with DJ and Radman. We'd haev to play Nazzy some back up C mins, but I would be ok with that.

That's the way I would roll.

Would be an interesting setup for this game. Although, I would be worried about our Bigs getting into foul trouble early.

Speaking of Bigs, has Howard played any recently? I don't think he's got much burn since he was injured a few weeks ago.

That would take some onions on the part of LB to do that at a Home game. Might be the first time he gets booed in Charlotte. I dont know if I'd start off that way, but I would at some time early in the game try to experiment with that lineup to see what happened. Who knows.

I really don't the Wallace/Artest and Okafor/Yao matchups that we'll probably end up seeing. Hopefully diaw, bell, and felton have great games along w/ some help off the bench. Maybe Augustine can start lighting it up again, he seems timid to put up a lot of attempts lately. Gerald coming off the bench would be great, but i don't know if a big front court would be effective given that yao guards okafor instead of diop. Can Okafor guard Scola? Trying something new in the neck to neck race that we're in might not be the greatest idea. Try it out for two minutes, if we can perform well on both sides of the court let them stay.

Raja Vs Artest

I'd do that anyway, esp. since Crash seems to always have trouble vs. the crazy dude. Then again he tends to defend passively against spot up guys too (Battier).

Either way, I think Crash is going to have to play an exceptional game for us to stand a chance.

I just can't describe how insanely jealous I am of that.

I imagine if Duncan gets the Diop treatment then Yao will get it too. We can all look forward to Mek playing 25 mins again.

I'm going. Potentially epic night in the standings if we win. GO CATS!!!!!

Wonder why TMNT would be inactive tonight?

If we only have 10 days to look at him you'd think we'd want to allow as much opportunity to give him a chance to play as possible?

Post #18 » by **BigSlam** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 11:16 pm

Great ball movement.

Post #19 » by **BigSlam** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 11:19 pm

Boris picks up his 2nd foul in 4 mins then Felts gives the ball up and we are jacking up way too many long shots.

Not a great start.

I'm here for maybe the quarter. It was my momz bday on Wednesday but we're going out to eat to celebrate tonight. Outside possibility that I'm back before the game is over, but I'm not counting on it. Let's get it done fellas...
