GT Feb 17 7:00PM Bobcats @ Raptors

I hope it is okay that I made this, I didn't see one yet. I know last year we had a GT sign up sheet.

[Diop]

Good stuff, our GT's have been pretty ordinary this year to match the effort of the LolCats, so we haven't had a need for a sign up sheet.

[fatlever]

if anyone ever wants to make an elaborate GT, just let one of us mods know and we'll hold off on making a thread.

as for the game, probably our best chance to win in recent memory. too bad hendo isnt back. i love the head to head matchups vs derozan.

i think biz will be happy not to have to guard pekovic tonight. that guy was a beast, probably the strongest guy in the league right now, with solid skills to match.

prediction: Bismack gets 5 blocks

Man... If Hendo was playing I believe that we would get this one.

prediction: Bismack gets 5 blocks

speaking of which, what has happened to biz's blocks? his blocks have gone way down recently. he is only averaging 1 block per game in his 6 starts. i would have thought he could accidentally get 2 blocks a game just by being on the court for more than 10 minutes. he hasnt had more than 2 blocks in a game since jan 25th vs the wiz, 10 games ago, when he had 4.

1) are teams more aware of biz and consciously avoiding him? i know i see guards throwing up some high arching shots around him now and less are driving the paint.
2) is biz concentrating more on staying down and playing better positional defense? i have seen this a few times when he is 1 v 1 in the post and he doesnt seem to be leaving his man as often to chase the help side block, staying home to box out.
3) just a random statistical coincidence that will eventually right itself out?

other random biz observations... he is doing much better than i anticipated at staying out of major foul trouble. he hasnt fouled out of a game this year and only hit 5 fouls 3 times. he played 28 mins vs the sixers w/out a single foul.

i think its just a statistical anomaly. hes had some sick blocks lately when the opportunity is there. just tryna put it all together

lol just learned via GB that its MJs b-day...hopefully the team can get him a win

[don't panac]

is kemba starting?

[fatlever]

is kemba starting?

my best guess that silas will start:

augustin, williams, maggette, diaw and biyombo.

[advanced]

i believe i have a 3 day suspension about to come up due to getting baited on the GB. GO BOBCATS see you guys in 3 lol

sorry to hear it. those GB pissing matches are never worth the trouble.

[fatlever]

bonnell indicated that kemba will probably start again tonight.

[ZanTabak2]

lets go bobcats

[thruthefire]

We got this.

[Diop]

bonnell indicated that kemba will probably start again tonight.

From his twitter Dj is starting.

Head Coach Paul Silas said that #DJAugustin will return to the @bobcats starting lineup versus Toronto, @KembaWalker will come off bench.


In regards to BB's blocking numbers I think it could be an effort to reduce fouls and play better positional defense.

I think its a good thing, he will always have that shot blocking lets develop his other defensive skills

[vorbis]

ahhhhhhh got roped into nice dinner with the wife so i can't go to this game. i'm going to the next bobs game in toronto for sure.

[SWedd523]

Aaron Gray starting? DMutombo must be giddy with joy right now
