GT April 20th Charlotte Vs Memphis 7:00pm 

Post#1 » by fatlever » Fri Apr 20, 2012 7:27 pm

must win one of the next five to avoid being the worst NBA team in the history of the league.

maybe the grizz will be nice and bench their entire starting lineup, you know, to make the game remotely fair.

keys
+ kemba must keep the offense in rhythm by moving the ball, penetrating and splitting doubles
+ push the pace and look for quick shots, easy baskets in transition. playing at such a slow pace is killing us because we no post up players, not 3pt shooters and only two players who can create a shot in iso (only one of which can make the shot once created - hendo)
+ rebound
+ effort
+ pride
+ hendo needs to look for his offense at all times
+ play UPS 48 minutes, play moon 0 minutes
+ the oklahoma turnstiles need to guard someone, anyone.
+ would be nice for augustin to grace us with his presence.

I think we'll win tonight. Not confident enough to bet money on it but if we're going to steal a game, I think this is the one to steal.

Either we win or it's another 20-30 point blowout.

#Bobcats down to nine bodies vs. Grizzlies tonight. No DJ Augustin or Tyrus Thomas (both with knee injuries).

If DJ doesn't come back, we won't win another game.

it wasnt meant as a knock on kemba though... just that dj, like him or hate him, is still one of our top 3 players. we desperately need his shooting.

There's always about 5 minutes every game where we look like an actual NBA team; then the other team remembers to start driving the ball through a wide open lane.

Should I take a nice nap after a long day at drivers ed, or should I watch the Bobcats get beat down again...... Why do I like torture ?

Go on a (17-0) run then give up an (8-0) run only the LOLCats.

G'day nut sacks.

I see Kemba is still killing the offensive movement, taking bad/forced shots and sucking.

Someone suggested Mullens is the worst passer they had ever seen at the beginning of the season. Well, at the very least, he is nothing short of awful...

I also like it when Biz takes it hard to the rack without hesitation.

Is that MC Hammer's best play of the year? Good finish by Biz.
