Happy New Year to all Bobcat fans!

I felt we had a shot at winning in the game on Wednesday, but Wade stole the victory from us. I dont feel too good about this one, tho. Think this one could get ugly and be over before the end of the 3rd qtr.

Happy new year!

I agree with ohara, doesn't seem likely that we would be that close in a game against the Heat the second time. I just want a solid effort out of the team tonight. A game with some good individual performances and the score closer than the one against Orlando.

I don't know what to expect, thats the beauty of this team I suppose.

From a selfish point of view I would love to see Maggette go off for 40 to justify me drafting him in my fantasy league.

Otherwise I would love Diaw to keep up his averages, he is averaging a double/double and only 2.3 assists off a triple double! If he keeps his averages close to this come the deadline surely we could find someone to give us something for him.

Happy new year everyone!

I am calling win here. Even though i cant remember the Bobcats win an away game in Miami, i think this is winnable. I've got some money left from a NFL bet, so i will put 500$ on the Cats.

Must be nice having an ankle that doubles as a shot glass.

I hope Diop breaks Wade's ankle. Seriously though, Diop needs to play tonight. Christina Bosh and co ran all over us in the paint the other night.

I won't go as far as saying that we're better off without him, but am I the only one who doesn't miss him?

I think the Cavs are next up.

Idk, I know I would like to see TT in this lineup. How he plays this season will really determine what we do going forward, specifically with him but maybe even as far as in the draft. We have to see him play this year as a starter so I want to see him out there. Plus we could really use his rebounding (done really well so far but adding him will only help) and more specifically his shot blocking. Plus, DJ White is a really good role player off the bench, but not really starter type material. Kind of grown tired of him starting, he needs to go back to the bench.

I"m betting on an absolute thrashing tonight. It's going to be ugly but hopefully we can continue to see improvement from Biz and excitement from Kemba.

Diop's presence won't be a pleasant sight against this uptempo Heat team. He just isn't fast enough. On the brightside, he was great against Dwight the other day.

Let Kemba go H.A.M. with about 30 minutes tonight. A strong performance from him is the only way I see the Bobcasts pulling this one off. Also, Bismack is fun to watch on the defensive end. Let him get another shot at Bosh aka Mister Softee.

I don't think Gerald Henderson can continue to put up the same offensive numbers as he has until the end of the season for the simple fact that he won't average 38 minutes per game, but if he can maintain his prowess on defense I will consider it as a successful season. Also, Reggie Williams may have an effect on his production when he return from injury.

We play one tonight, a real sh*tty team who almost lost to the T-Wolves and Bobcats. :D



Considering the difficulty of the teams we started out with, the schedule makers at least gave us a fighting chance by giving us 3 home games, 2 of which had the opposing teams playing the night before. Starting today, is when we get to see what this team is made of.

The Bobcats get to play a different LeBron tonight...one that no other team has ever played before...the ENGAGED one.
