That damn T-Wolves game still pisses me off. :evil:

Then Washington... :cry:

We could not take advantage of a gimme game.

Statement week

DET to start the week, and CHI to end it. I'm begging you BC's. Win

I'm sick of these fishing trips. I want into the Playoffs.

Not making the Playoffs would please Dex. Which, is something that I do not want to be apart of so... :wink:

This is a perfect game for us. Our guys motivation can be "if we lose our seasons over" instead of "Guys omfg! if we win tonite and Chicago loses, we get into the 8th spot OmGLolzz..." We should look out for Stuckey and Bynum, those guys are getting better fast. Why do I feel like we're about to lose this game to a last second 3 pointer by Rip?

um....
Stuckey is pretty bad lately and has proven to be a SG instead of PG.
Will Bynum is solid though.

Raja listed as DTD. Cartier Martin starting in his place (Game over, man).

LB post team meeting: Every game is must win, it's been that way for last 2 weeks. We've given ourselves a chance to win every game. It's going to be hard without Raja. Rip is big so it's not a great matchup to play two small guards. Bobcats know how important each game is-- they know how important each possession is. The things the Bobcats need to get better and better at are protecting the ball and getting to the ft line. Other than that we've made great progress, but when you're playing important games, especially on the road, you have to protect the ball. We have to take good shots-- a good shot is when you have someone in position to rebound or get to the ft line. Rasheed Wallace jerkfest.. guarding Rip is a challenge. Without Allen the roles are really defined--the players are playing the way now that they used to play.

Sorry no PPs.

According to the box score, Cartier Martin is starting tonight and Dontell Jefferson is finally active.

I have a feeling we're going to have a better understanding of the significance of Raja's defense after tonight.

DJ needs to go for at least 20. Radman, stop making a shot and then throw it 20 ft away from your intended player on the pass. TMNT, use that D to make up for Raja. Cartier, you may need to get off the court, if you can't play great defense.

I would like it if Cartier could stop pulling an Ammo on the court for us when he gets his shots. :)

Is the weather as nice wherever you guys are as it is in the RAL? 79 & super sunny, only thing that sucks is the pollen.

If we win tonight, we would tie the season series with detroit. How does that work in terms of tie breakers if we end up with the same record?

Good patience EO50. Didn't panic/force it and went up strong away from the defenders with a reverse rather than into them - which is usually when he gets blocked.
