GT: Cats vs Warriors Dec 9 Mon 7PM EST

[fatlever]

Things to know...

The Charlotte Bobcats beat the Golden State Warriors fair & square

Mark Jackson refused to sit his starters for much of any time during the game, because Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, & David Lee played 45, 46, 39, and 43 minutes respectively

Stephen Curry may have shot 14-32 from the field for 43 points, but upon further inspection he was only 8-24 when defended by Kemba Walker (he was 6-8 against Sessions)

Kemba Walker scored the Bobcats final 15 points

Al Jefferson is in a slump, making only 5-16 of his shots in tonight's game for 11 points, and shooting 11 of 37 over the last 2 games for 30%. Shockingly, the Bobcats have still been able to win both games over that span, but he's a career 50% shooter. Imagine how good the team could be if he & and every other player on the roster was on one accord

Gerald Henderson is averaging 17.5 points per game on 47% shooting since the pep talk from Michael Jordan the night of November 20th

great stuff MKiA

is it just me, or does it seem that jordan has to give hendo a pep talk every year to get him going? why? jordan really knows what buttons to push when it comes to hendo, thats for sure.

what is jackson thinking playing his guys that many minutes? its november and they are wanting to play deep into may or further. they really need to find a backup point guard. im shocked they didnt add someone or trade for someone when iggy went down.

Henderson plays a artificial style of basketball to the way Jordan used to play in his heyday, so I'm sure there's quite a few pointers that the G.O.A.T. could offer that would make him perform better than he was beforehand. My guess in the matter would be that Jordan told him to attack the rim more. When Jordan was in his mid-20's like Henderson currently is, he made a living slashing to the basket. Henderson was trying to play like age-riddled Jordan on the Washington Wizards by settling for fadeaway jumpers way too often

Basketball gods forbid, Jackson is going to mess around and pop the hamstring in one of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, or David Lee the same way Andre Iguodala went out if he keep playing them in excess of 40 minutes every night they have a close game. I understand that he want to keep a competitive edge, but come postseason he'll need valuable minutes out of his reserves, so he better evaluate what little depth he has now while he still can, because in the playoffs there's no time for experimentation. They actually have good depth if you ask me. Jackson occasionally use Draymond Green & Jermaine O'Neal to spare Andrew Bogut's minutes, but I don't know why he treat Marreese Speights, Toney Douglas, and Kent Bazemore like bench fodder when they are all serviceable if you ask me

Kemba getting interviewed by ESPN good to see him getting the attention he deserves

Here's the video footage

Hendo has the Kobe mannerisms down.

He even has the Kobe facials, licking the lips, the facial movements. I bet his room is plastered with Kobe pics in every nook and cranny and every square inch.

Even if it was true, it's not because he's in the NBA that he can't have an player to admire anymore...

I was taking the piss, aka it was a joke. I'm a big Hendo fan, it's a good thing his game resembles Kobe in som ways. At least his game doesn't resemble Dominic McGuire.
