lookin good so far. here's to hoping they can keep it up 3 more quarters

1/26/2007 11:04:17 PM

Morrison is lookin good out there

May looks like shit

1/26/2007 11:38:16 PM

hahah going into this game Phil Jackson is 1-2 versus the Bobcats

Phil Jackson is Bernie's Bitch

1/26/2007 11:57:47 PM

the people that do the scoreboards and stuff for the bobcats are apparently untrained chimps. they couldnt even get that preproduced score from the previous lakers/bobcats game right. it said the lakers won, even while the commentators were talking about the bobcats outscoring the lakers in the final overtime to come away with the win.

the people seriously fall asleep and dont update it at least 2 or 3 times a game...and they'll get confused between 2's and 3's often as well.

1/27/2007 12:21:25 AM

74-72 Lakers at the end of the 3rd quarter

Morrison is starting to turn it up but so is Kobe

1/27/2007 12:25:39 AM

damn morrison just blocked the hell out of maurice evans, then evans came down and got a technical haha

86 a piece with 3:12 left

ok 87-86 after carroll hits the tech shot

then kobe tried to draw a bullshit foul where he jumps into you on okafor but okafor was too slick and got the rebound the wallace went down and threw up a nasty layup in kobe's eye

89-86 timeout la

damn gerald fucked up on that screen and left kobe wide open for the tying 3

goddam Kobe is just ice sometimes

1/27/2007 1:03:44 AM

^Kobe was ice cold before that 3, in which he was wide open. The law of averages has to work out for him eventually.

1/27/2007 1:04:08 AM

man, gerald made a terrible defensive play on that one, which is odd since he's such a good defender.

1/27/2007 1:06:25 AM

yeah Kobe has been awful tonite, but that was a big fucking shot.

I waffle between loving and disliking Gerald Wallace more than any player ever.

He makes some outstanding plays but man he's one awful shooter... very injury prone.... gonna be so difficult to decide if he's worth extending or not... I jsut hope Bob is willing to flash some $$ soon cause okafor is obviously gonna wanna get paid after another season like this one

I dont know what the market rate is gonna be for Matt Carroll... he might be able to find like a 3 yr/$6 million deal out there...in a league where Nene can get 6/$60 anything is possible

helluva game

bobcats 99 lakers 93 56.5 seconds left in OT

okafor has 20 points 18 boards and 5 blocks

haha the zen master looks shocked bobcats by 8 with 40 seconds left

hahaha the fucking lakers are fouling when they're down 10 with 10 seconds left

106-97 final score...Bobcats won 4 of their last 5 road games

I think Okafor is trying to make a late impression for an All Star reserve spot

big win -- gotta give credit to Felton. He shot like shit for the most part, but when he drives the lane, good things always happen. He hit a few clutch shots at the end of the game as well.

1/27/2007 1:48:21 AM

ha

we have a Rival

1/27/2007 3:43:03 AM

golden state tonight

new 14, 10:30




kinda sucks they keep winning for draft purposes, but i enjoy seeing them win.

1/27/2007 8:15:54 PM

haha, awesome win Bobcats

Im loving it!

1/27/2007 9:14:10 PM

were like 4 or 4.5 games out of 8th...we might as well try to overachieve

1/27/2007 9:40:51 PM

started off losing 19-2

yes, 19-2

but before halftime have gotten it back to 59-50

1/27/2007 11:40:48 PM

getting whooped...down 113-84 with abou 9 minutes left in the 4th

in other news, Josh Powell is in the game for Golden State!

1/28/2007 12:41:14 AM

DID YOU JUST SEE THAT DUNK??? RYAN HOLLINS JUST SKYED LIKE A MOFO PEEP THAT SHIT ON SPORTSCENTER TOP 10

it was Powell that got posterized among others

JOSH POWELL: 13 points 7 boards an assist a steal and 2 blocks

1/28/2007 1:03:12 AM

bout to beat the Denver Mcnuggets

1/29/2007 11:28:59 PM

Hell yeah

Great win over the Nuggets

Good game to watch

Felton, clutch with the free throws at the end

1/29/2007 11:36:15 PM

how bout that block by wallace on carmelo. probably the play of the game.

great win great win

1/29/2007 11:41:46 PM

Im afraid we are going to miss out on Oden/Durant if we keep winning....but at least the team is improving.

1/29/2007 11:45:07 PM

nah shit, the Hawks won tonight and the Griz did as well

the shit teams will keep pace

we will have many many ping pong balls

1/29/2007 11:48:08 PM

gerald wallace was outta sight tonight, he took this game over down the stretch

i'm glad the nuggets couldn't draw up a decent play for the tie

good W

1/29/2007 11:48:11 PM

yeah, good thing he wore his shoulder pads

1/29/2007 11:50:07 PM

and all the highlights are of nuggets plays

also the little ticker only showed how ai and melo did, even though ray, gerald and emeka had double doubles

1/30/2007 12:34:04 AM

that's why the station is better known as H-Y-P-E, to quote a certain radio host

1/30/2007 8:04:20 AM

Bobcats handing it to the knicks.

the knicks have scored ONE basket in the 4th quarter, and there's a minute left in the game. holy shit

1/31/2007 9:28:43 PM

gerald set new francshise record.

1/31/2007 9:31:02 PM

yeah 42 points - 17 in the fourth alone.

The Bobcats really need to think about giving this guy a big-time contract. He plays at full-go all game long. He's not much of a shooter, but you won't find a guy in the league that plays harder.

[Edited on January 31, 2007 at 9:36 PM. Reason : ]

1/31/2007 9:36:14 PM

gotta pay gerald and emeka this summer

and vince

1/31/2007 9:38:02 PM

both Gerald and Emeka have one year left on their contracts after this season...I think we need to keep them both

2/1/2007 12:07:54 AM

If we have a chance at Oden/Durant Im afraid we let Wallace go....it really is a shame too because he has finally arrived as a star since we gave him playing time.

2/1/2007 12:13:04 AM

we'll see how it plays out when the season ends...we've been playing .500 or better ball over the last few weeks...if we keep this up we could be challenging for the 8th playoff spot come April

2/1/2007 12:16:51 AM

Yeah im starting to think Playoffs as well

May needs to get back

and from what they are saying in Charlotte, The Pistons want BK

Trade him asap

2/1/2007 10:43:53 AM

Quote :

"both Gerald and Emeka have one year left on their contracts after this season."

Not exactly.

Gerald has a player option for $6.05 million. He will definitely exercise his option to become a free agent as he can easily command a multiyear deal worth more per season. He should be in the $9-$10 million range or perhaps more if someone really wants him.

Emeka has one more year on his deal but he will most likely not want to play without an extension. Unfortunately, he's probably going to seek the max. This is the reason the "max" aspect of the NBA really sucks. Everyone who is any good seeks the max. It's just fucking stupid that Emeka can command as much as Lebron, D.Wade, etc when he is probably half as valuable. Our hands are pretty much tied I mean you cant just let the guy walk, but it's pretty irresponsible to hand him a max deal.

2/1/2007 10:58:23 AM

actually i believe emeka is making more than wade right now just for the fact that Emeka got the guaranteed money for the #2 pick an wade got the guaranteed money for the #4(?) pick a year earlier

but hopefully we can keep them both...even though plenty of athlets would jump ship for more dollars a la carlos boozer, maybe mek and force will be different?

[Edited on February 1, 2007 at 11:25 AM. Reason : .]

2/1/2007 11:17:09 AM

^Wade was the #5 pick. Bosh was #4.

2/1/2007 11:18:27 AM

^ah thats right

but either way, its kinda funny that lebron is "only" making a few million a year for salary even though he's making 9 digits of texas with his endorsements

2/1/2007 11:26:12 AM

Yeah Wade is making more this season but thats not what we're talking about.

We're talking about extensions.

Wade's extension kicks in next season. 4 years, $57 million and he can opt out after three years to sign an even larger deal.

Quote :

"f we have a shot at Oden/Durant I think we let Wallace go"

You're allowed to play five players on the court at once so this doesn't make any sense.

We will only trade Wallace if we get really good young talent in return. No one is going to be trading away unprotected lottery picks with Oden/Durant in the mix. That was already proven in the Iverson situation last month.

[Edited on February 1, 2007 at 11:44 AM. Reason : a]

2/1/2007 11:41:10 AM

well i guarantee you there is no way in hell we lose both okafor and wallace

2/1/2007 11:44:10 AM

No, we'll probably sign them both. We dont really have a choice we have to re-sign Okafor.

As far as Wallace goes if we let him walk, we're basically saying we don't care about basketball.

If Wallace isnt traded THIS season they'll at least sign him and attempt to trade him next season if they don't want him.

You don't let commodities walk, period.

2/1/2007 11:46:12 AM

I think they should keep them both. The good thing that I'm currently seeing with this Bobcats team is the fact that they are learning how to win. They've played very well against the really good teams (Mavs, Spurs, Pistons, etc.) this year. They don't give up leads as easy as they used to.

Also, they can still make the playoffs in the East. I know it sounds farfetched, but now, they are only 3 games back from the 9th spot (Miami) and only 4.5 games out of the final playoff spot (New Jersey). This month, they play only 3 teams with records of more than 5 games over .500(Chicago at home, Cleveland and Houston on the road), and the other teams they play are barely at .500 or under. Not saying they will make the playoffs, but you never know in the Eastern Conference.

2/1/2007 12:04:54 PM

I would say we lock up Okafor and Wallace (possibly to trade Gforce)

We trade BK and we better starting thinking about nailing down Ray-felt long term (agreed?)

then we take whats left of our cap after dumping Ely and Brezc(sp?) keep Hollins and May till their contracts run out and go sign a Damn good Free Agent

And dont be fucking cheap about it...

playoffs next year, plus the bottom of the Lottery draft pick

and does anyone else here think Sean Singletary is a Lottery pick other than me?

Go Bobcats

2/2/2007 12:49:23 PM

Would we want Singletary and Felton in the same backcourt?

Bigger guards would have a field day with us. We need to find out if Felton can handle the point full time or not. And trade BK now if teams want him.

2/2/2007 12:57:15 PM

no i wasnt saying we should draft him

but he will probably be there at the end of the Lottery and thats where our pick should be

and i think from now on the bobcats should draft best available, not on a need basis

2/2/2007 1:14:37 PM

With Felton our long term PG, we need the other starting guard to be at least 6 foot 5 to cover the plethora of 6'6" and 6'7" wings in the league

A thing alot of people are forgetting is we get Toronto's pick this year as long as they make the playoffs and don't have the worst record of all the teams to do so (top 15 protected)

So a pick somewhere in the 16-20 range could net us a player like Aaron Afflalo, Alondo Tucker, Corey Brewer or Deqaun Cook. Big men will go earlier so there will be lots of good wing players in the middle of the first round.

Of our current roster, assuming we keep them, only Felton, Wallace and Okafor are sure-fire starters no matter who else we bring in. So we could conceivably get 2 starters out of this draft if Jordan and Bickerstaff are smart and lucky.

2/2/2007 3:15:35 PM

If Carroll keeps playing like he's been the past couple of months, it's hard to keep him out of the starting lineup. His shooting offsets Wallace and Felton's penetration perfectly.

With Felton, Carroll, Wallace, and Okafor, I think they're a jump-shooting PF (Durant please God) away from being a damn good team.
