GT: Cha @ Was, Tuesday, 7:00ET

[moevil]

Let's start again.

Bobcats 35-34, 10-26 Away L2
Wizards 21-47, 12-22 Home L11

Starting lineup for Bobcats:
Felton
Jackson
Wallace
Diaw
Ratliff/Chandler?

Starting lineup for Wizards:
Livingston
Miller
Thornton
Blatche
Mcgee

We might start Chandler instead of Theo as Brown likes to use him more than Theo nowadays.

Washington has lost 11 in row and visiting Charlotte is their chance to end skid. I can see this happening. Also, Jackson has to face Mike Miller, who is lengthy as his, so he loses his advantage.
I just hope Jackson doesn't go nuts and shoot more than 20 shots with awful percentage.

1) Predicting stat lines:
Wallace 28 pts, 8 reb, 2 st, 2 blk, 3 TO
Jackson 17 pts, 5 reb, 6 ast, 5 TO, 41% FG
Chandler 9 pts, 11 reb, 3 blk

For Wizards:
Blatche 25 pts, 9 reb
Miller 24 pts, 6 reb, 5 ast, 4 treys

2) Let's hope our defense keep working as Washington isn't going to stop us from scoring 90+ points. Their defense is not that good.

Lucky Bobcat for us:

[ajbry]

Stephen Jackson is going to destroy Mike Miller, lol.

He's due.

Wiz fan here. Weve lost 11 in a row but all of them have been to stud playoff teams. However, Wiz fans dont want to win now anyways. We just want good losses. We want the young guys to play well and lose late. I just watch games now for Blatche. Dude looked like one of the most complete bigs in the league until 2 games ago when he had a bad sprain against Denver and sat the rest of the game. I knew then that he would suck afterwards and that we should sit him but he played the next game against Portland and looked horrible. Had no emotion, no engery, was so unagressive, and had by far his worst game since the trade. Then the Lakers game came last night and it looked the same exact way. Luckily, he was much more active and played much better in the 2nd half so I think he could get back to his old form in this game. I love the matchups of him vs Diaw & TT. Diaw can do things most bigs cant just like Blatche and we use to always have debates with Bulls fans about Blatche vs TT when we were having playoff matchups and so on. The injury sucks because you could tell that he was improving so much. He was a beast from day 1 of the trade but he 1st started out strictly in the post.

Then the double team's came and for a long stretch he went almost strictly to the perimiter and played more like a guard. Then like the last 4 or 5 games something switched and he went back to the post while mixing in the perimiter game. His post moves were sick with a bunch of spins, dunks, up & unders but then he would also take you outside and do Iverson like crossovers. Stud guys like Nene had no answer for him and I hope I see that guy against your team. Should be fun and I cant wait to see you guys in the playoffs. MIller has the length to match Jackson but he pretty much sucks on D now and most Wiz fans are starting to hurt him. He looked so good early in the year but seems to have hit a wall. Again, Im just watching because I think Blatche is the most exciting looking player in the league right now when he's healthy. Good luck the rest of the year and in the playoffs. I know Wallace will kill us like he always does although Thorton has given alot of guys some problems

This made me puke.

.....but then he (Blatche) would also take you outside and do Iverson like crossovers.

And this was just hilarious.

[fatlever]

it was about this time last year when we were in the middle of the playoff hunt and we went to washington and lost to a bad wiz team. of course, we fell apart afterwards and missed the playoffs.

lets not have a repeat.

I remember that clearly, lol we were playing some garbage ball and Antwan Jamison started to chuck 3's at the end to get us back in it but we still failed

what did you mean by both of those comments?

[fluffernutter]

Our Mod was a little cranky, sorry.

It meant, we don't like tanking. Bobcats have had plenty of chances to do so in the past, and we have not, and we are proud of it. Tanking is an insult to the fans, the game, and the NBA in general.

The other comment was about the Iverson hyperbole. Blatche is not crossing over anyone like Iverson. C'mon. Come down to Earth, fanatic fan. He's damn good, but Iverson... that's like saying the hottest girl in your class is Jessica Alba-fine. I get what you mean, but really.

[dlts20]

What does what I said have to do with tanking? No one wants to tank. We just rather not win. Its not like the team listens to us and goes out there to tank. They are trying to win and we actually were playing well until Howard went down and that was the final straw. Couple that with the crazy sked weve had with all playoff teams and playing 5 games in 6 days in all different cities, and you are just going to lose.

Now, the AI thing is no joke and Im not a fanatic. Obviously its not just like AI but for a big it is just like AI. Im not a fanatic. Even fans from other teams think Blatche has the best handles for a big in the leauge. I truly wish I could show you some footage of him doing it. Here are some clips of him from some HS games & Wiz games. Obviously HS doesnt mean much as every pro player pretty much dominated in HS but you can see that his handles are far advanced for a big and he was even doing some nice moves back then. Seriously though, there is a reason why he's been putting up numbers on good defenders and alot of it is because he has good post moves but also has guard like moves that most bigs cant stay with. That dont make him elite. Im just talking about his moves but he has been klling anyone who tries to check him one on one including some of the best guys in the league. There is even a vid I have with him & Durant in the summer where he is doing crossovers with 1 hand. Ive seen him lead the break alot like a guard. Most of these vids are short.

"Now, the AI thing is no joke and Im not a fanatic. Obviously its not just like AI but for a big it is just like AI. Im not a fanatic."

He was probably saying that your saying Blatche is like AI is kinda wack, so you are in agreement.

I, however, am still confused.

The sun is hot, except it's not really hot, it's kinda warm. Er?

Listen, be happy, you are a fan of a fun player to watch. He has amazing skills for his size. All that is true. But lay off the heavy comparatives, unless you want to get lots of attention.

In addition: "Im" should be "I'm". As in "I am not a fanatic" (repeated 2 times, making it that much more believable).

[dlts20]

stop trying to be an internet teacher. I always write stuff like that. I always right youre instead of you're. You think youre cool for pointing out something that I already know? Its just people doing things on the net and they make things shorter sometimes. Stop acting like this is English class or something. No one is dumb but you feel the need to point out something stupid like that.

Also, I stand by what I say about Blatche. Im not being a fan. I think he is the real deal. Im not saying that he has moves or a nice game. Im saying he is an All Star caliber player right now and I would put anything on that. Ive seen him head up with some beast and he's been killing them all. He's not stat padding on a bad team either. He's shooting a very high percentage and loves to pass. He gets doubled non stop because the rest of our guys suck but he's still producing big time even though you can tell he's extremely mentally & physically fatigued from all the games we are playing back to back, the good teams, the huge increase in minutes, the huge increase in role, and the double teams.

Our system also sucks. Its all halfcourt and we have had the worst PG play in the league until Livingston got in and he's still up & down. Blatche gets no freebies. Id take him over just about anyone right now. I think if he was on the Suns right now in there wide open system with Nash, he would be putting up monster numbers. Also, I never said Blatche was like AI. Im speaking strictly of his crossover. Whats wrong with saying that? He's crossing bigs over like AI. You dont think thats true? Even ask the Nuggz fans. They said it themselves. Anyways, I guess coming over here was not a good idea. IDK what it is but for some reason on every site, the Bobcats fans have turned into the most arrogant of all the fans. You get to the playoffs one time and now its all disrespect to everyone else. Whatever man. Good luck anyways

[fluffernutter]

I'm being pedantic for a reason... ya know?

"I always right youre instead of you're. You think youre cool for pointing out something that I already know? Its just people doing things on the net and they make things shorter sometimes. Stop acting like this is English class or something. No one is dumb but you feel the need to point out something stupid like that."

Sometimes the situations warrants it, ya know?

right = 5 letters. I think. write = 5 letters. But w is really wide. So maybe that counts as 1.04 letters? Ergo 5 < 5.04 thus right is right?

However, "youre" is short than "you're" You got me there.

Refer to footnote 11 on page 53 for further deconstructions.
++++++++++++++++++++
If you stuck that "right" at the end of the line on purpose, OK. You got me. I bit.

But... why do I feel like I am boxing against a tin foil chicken who has been blindfolded and stuffed full of low-grade tequila?

[doc.end]

I once tried to correct someone's spelling on BCP as getting used to almost unreadable spelling on boards ruins my english. It was on "amberlamps" level. The reaction wasn't pretty.

I admit, on my english class I was called the Spellmaster, cause I broaden my vocabulary better when I know how to spell the new word* and interruped with a "can you spell it please?" question here and there. It seems natural to me to know how the word is spelled and get what it is derived from that way.

*lots of it is wasted here by me being a terrible typer, lol .)

[fluffernutter]

What is "amberlamps?"

Is that like pre-Madonna?

[doc.end]

a meme; amberlamps obviously has no correct spelling as it was originally a fail attempt to say "ambulance"; yeah somethin like pre-madonna, I didn't know that one, nice

all started with this video (ambrlemps about 2:50), which is a meme itself

Man you are a clown. So now IDK that its write and not right? You think when people type all day they dont make simple mistakes like that? Now go correct dont. Its petty. You think youre smarter then me but youre not. I actually won alot of spelling bee's in HS and I also took computer & typing classes in skool. I can type a million words in a minute. I also say wit instead of with and so on, grammer freak. Man I hate high & mighty people like you. The less of you in the world, the better. It would be one thing if you were really doing something but youre too dumb to see that the person is doing it purposely on there own, yet you still think you are cool when you correct them. There is nothing worst than that

[fluffernutter]

You are adorable dlts20.

I honestly admire and envy your youth.

Go out and get blasted and pick up a nice girl and have a good time. Enjoy yourself. Leave us old nasty wizened curmudgeons to our grammars and dusty Latin tomes and etymologies, OK?

Dag. I remember, back in the day..

[fatlever]

OK OK... enough of the bickering.

back on topic. thanks.

[Stun704]

This game is huge, we must win
