Post#1 » by fatlever » Sat Mar 22, 2014 5:01 pm

last of the buzz city nights. tonight, former hornet kelly tripucka is honored with a bobblehead.

this should be a fun game, hopefully we have a better outing than we did in portland. certainly they wont start the game 7-for-7 from 3pter again.

is tonight the night pargo jumps ridnour in the rotation?

I've noticed I've been looking forward to the days the Bobcats aren't playing, so I don't feel obligated to watch them. Such a boring team to watch play, and of course not very good.
Humble yourself.

interesting... which previous bobcats teams did you find more fun to watch? personally i find this team the most fun to watch since the 2nd half of the last season under bernie - when crash, herrmann and carroll were all playing out of their minds. i thought that team was so much fun to watch. i guess the first month or two under silas was pretty entertaining as well. was never a fan of the LB years. to me that was really boring.

LMA won't play tonight as he's still out with his groin injury.

Lots of interesting matchups between us and Portland. Teams are built similarly.

-Young stud point guards (though Lillard has really taken off this season)
-All-around two guards (Matthews>Hendo but that's mainly due to the 3-pointer difference)
-Athletic, long defensive SFs (Batum is far more seasoned than MKG, but other than shooting, they play similarly)
-Top-notch scoring big men (Aldridge vs. Al would've been fun if LMA wasn't hurt)
-Highly inconsistent benches





Anyway, with LMA being out, we definitely stand a chance. A win tonight would be huge.

Also worth noting that this game and the Houston game are the last two Western Conference teams we will play this year. It's all Eastern Conference teams from here on out.

Why do we always give MKG the ball for the 1st play?
