This will be a blowout. Easy game.

As someone said a few games ago: we must break them

If I've learned anything, it's to never take a game for granted. Hopefully it's a blowout, but Jefferson has been on fire lately. Go Suns!

Last 10 games for Big Al: 29 pts, 12.5 reb, 3 ast, 1 blk, 1stl, 57% FG. Wow. We have to make him work defensively, he always was a bad pnr defender. Maybe we can get him into foul trouble. Also, 1st game at home after a long road trip is always difficult.

Big Al is exactly the type of player we have struggled against all throughout the season.

I think Frye can be a good matchup against Big Al. He can be decent in his defense, and he obligates Jefferson to defend away from the rim and moving his feet. On the other hand,Jefferson will be pleasant to defend Plumlee near the rim and Plum is not better defending the post than Frye at this point in his career.

Big Al has always given us trouble and the Bobcats are coming off a win against the Lakers (who hasn't). This game is not to be taken lightly.

Big Al played 39 minutes last night he is either going to come out tired or still feeling it. Most likely the second one cause he was balling

with Kemba Walker out they've been clearly shifting the offense to the interior, which we have had trouble against. Plumlee has kind of been out of it the past couple of games. He needs to bring his A game tonight.

I wanna see lots of Dragic/Plumlee pick and roll with Big Al guarding and double team on Big Al since they're not a good outside shooting team.

I really like Josh McRoberts. He seems like the kind of guy that would be a good role player on a good spurs team.

Jefferson is a huge problem...literally. He's gonna get plumlee in foul trouble most likely so Frye needs to step up. Kief did horrible against Hibbert last game so I wouldnt try that. Just need a quick double team and good defensive rotations. Go Suns

ALJeff is going to get his.... period. Stop the other guys.

Tough game. Horncats playing well and there's is proven track record of teams playing poorly the first game back from a long road trip. Fry is huge in this game, need to make the cats bigs respect the outside game. Can't get into a slow bang it out game.

This is not the Bobcats of yesteryear.
