In honor of LA, I think our good luck charm should be fake boobs.

Should be interesting game matchup wise with Lakers having no pg. They started with Kobe and Meeks last night against OKC. Kemba should be able to take whoever is guarding him off the dribble.

My brother is a Kobe fan. I hope we don't give him his 1st win on his comeback from his torn achilles. We need to rub it in. We're the better team unless Jefferson somehow get outplayed by Gasol and I heavily doubt it these days. We'll win. Go Cats!

I never thought I'd see the day where the Bobcats were 3 point favorites over the Lakers with Kobe Bryant still in uniform, but here it is. My main man Kemba Walker better come through tonight or I'm going to be heavily disappointed in his progression this year. I've been patient, and I will continue to be, but...

I need something to feel good about before the Adrien Broner-Marcos Maidana fight tonight. I should be a thousand dollars richer upon the compilation of events

Go Charlotte!!!

Game #24: Bobcats vs. Lakers 2-on-3 Preview

1- STATS. The Lakers want to play fast as they are 3rd in the league in the PACE category – it’s likely that’ll be at the top of their game plan tonight due to the fact that Charlotte’s defense can be devastating for opponents in the half court. How do the Bobcats slow down the Lakers?

Spencer: Down get lackadaisical on the offensive end and settle for long jumpers – creates long rebounds, which in turn lead to run-outs and easy baskets for the Lakers. This isn’t an extremely stingy Lakers D, so with some commitment the Bobcats should be able to get some solid looks around the rim tonight.

Greg: Do what they’ve done all year — grab defensive boards and avoid turning the ball over. The Bobcats are first in DRB% and third in offensive TOV%, which helps limit second-chance and fast-break points. There’s not much Charlotte can do about L.A. jacking up attempts early in the shot clock, though, so they’ll also need to be aware and contest shots.

2- KOBE. The Lakers were drubbed by 25 last night in OKC. Everyone wants to make the, ‘Oh no, Kobe’s angry’ references — what say you?

Spencer: I’ll go ahead and poo-poo the Mamba being angry pitch. Charlotte is a better team than the Lakers are and Kobe dominating the ball + forcing shots against a team that defends well/controls the defensive glass should be a positive for us.

Greg: Kobe might be angry, but he’s still human. He’s played under 30 minutes in each of his three games so far, and I doubt they’ll take many chances on the second night of a back to back. He had a 20-point outburst in Phoenix, but otherwise looks as rusty as you’d think, averaging six turnovers a game and shooting 38.5 percent from the floor. Kobe’s not Kobe yet.

3- PICK IT. Kobe or no Kobe, this is a game the Bobcats should get in my opinion. Who ya got?

Spencer: Bobcats. The effort was there last night, so if Charlotte can come anywhere close to that energy again tonight I think they take this one. Both teams are coming off a back-to-back, but the Lakers are coming off a blowout loss in OKC.

Greg: The Lakers have older legs and had to travel from OKC to Charlotte overnight. I think that alone gives the Bobcats an edge. On an even playing field, I might take L.A., but the Lakers can probably mark this one down as a schedule loss.

Something I just thought about. It's going to be interesting to see Gerald 'Grasshopper' Henderson try to outduel his master, Kobe 'Black Mamba' Bryant, while he's shedding skin, as the G.O.A.T., Michael Jordan watch from the sidelines. It could get real animalistic

You must haven't seen them this season. All they do is shoot quick 3s and play minimal defense. If they're feeling it they are a tough team to beat but our transition defense should be able to keep them in check. It's our offense that I'm worried. If we don't take advantage of their lack of defense then they could beat us shooting 30% just because we'll be trading twos for threes.

Besides the cost of Bobcats games when the Lakers come to town, another reason I wouldn't want a ticket to this game is because of all the dumb bandwagon fans. I would be mad the whole time looking at their stupid jerseys and faces. Well, GO BOBCATS!

Nicely done. That's just a win win
Mike Malone was never given a fair chance in Sacramento, and Ranadive will soon come to regret that, when he's on top of the WC inevitably contending somewhere

With Meeks guarding Kemba I expect nothing less than a monster game from Kemba.
