Could TC's job be gone when his back spasms are manageable? Naz lookin good (again!)

Jax is going to be the first Bobcat to put up 50.

Book it

Naz isn't much of a defensive presence IMO, not that he needs to be against Dan Gadzuric....

True, but Chandler hasn't been guarding against much more than splinters lately.

Jodie Meeks v. Jax is not a good match-up for them....

Felton won't notice and take all the shots....

Since NBA league pass is down once again, i'm listening to the Bucks radio feed.

They have to get tired of the "Bango goes to the Buck!" every time BJ scores. Just bad.

DJ gets two good looks at 3s, just can't knock them down. Picking up two quick fouls means that he won't get an opportunity to shoot out of the slump again until the 3rd

Different game, different mindset about playing time. Everything is more deliberate so his athleticism wasn't able to help him that much and he was a poor shooter, which he took to heart and worked on. Franchises can't afford to develop talented youngsters with playing time at the expense of wins for fear of relegation.

If you ever have the mis-fortune of playing FIBA ball with FIBA refs you will understand how it can stifle brilliant perimeter players like Jennings. The next time I see a FIBA ref call hand-checking will be the first.

So our PG's have like 2 TO's and 2 PF's while Jennings, a rookie... has 17 in one quarter.

Did anyone check out poor Flip trying to navigate through the extra 2 defenders his teammates clogged the lane with?

fatlever wrote:i think felton will be OK against jennings. thats one area of feltons game that i dont worry about too much. he plays good defense. its the other half of the court where he is a nightmare.

as for dj... he might get embarrassed out there tonight.

is chandler playing? i havent read anything yet today.


Neither Felton nor DJ have a prayer against this kid. This is where we will really miss Raja.
Thank God for TC being out or this could be worse. Nazr is playing well tonight.

Bucks play excellent perimeter defense, Bobcats... not so much.

If the likes of Luke Ridenour and Charlie Bell are beating us, I don't know how motivated I'll be to watch games the rest of the season.....

I'm 100% positive Felton is more fit to guard Jennings than Bell. Augustin might be, too. Bell just doesn't seem remotely quick enough. And, yes, Nazr should be starting!

I'm done. I'm contemplating just turning the Bobcats off for the next 10 games, not even following their W/L record, and seeing if there is any remote improvement. But this is just sad. Every single player besides Jackson...Felton, Wallace, Diaw, DJ, Chandler - all look totally lost, like they've never played basketball before.

This is embarrassing, and I'm ashamed to be a fan right now.
