In the NEWS...

Charlotte Bobcats shooting guard Raja Bell(notes) tore a ligament in his left wrist a few days ago but he might go ahead and try to not have surgery, according to the Charlotte Observer. The 33-year-old is in his last year contractually with Charlotte so he might not want to sacrifice the bulk of this year to recovering from surgery. The recovery from surgery will reportedly take four months

Playoff trip top goal for Brown, Bobcats

http://www.thesunnews.com/sports/story/1133214.html

It's become a familiar scene after only two days of Charlotte Bobcats training camp: A defensive player grabs a rebound and coach Larry Brown's voice grows loud.
"Go, go, go!" he yells.

A season after being the NBA's lowest scoring team, Brown wants the Bobcats to become an up-tempo, fastbreak club by taking advantage of Gerald Wallace's driving ability, the addition of athletic newcomers Tyson Chandler and Gerald Henderson and an array of big ballhandlers.

[Mr. McTavish]

Yeah baby! Maybe this is the game I get promoted! :chuckles:

 

[Otsego Mar]

Bobcats coming off a back-to-back double OT win vs. NYK.....should be another thromping for the crabaliers.

 

[The Oi]

Better be a stomping. Hopefully we'll stomp the Cats like the Magic are going to stomp us in a few games...

 

[P_Han2]

Another game we better win by double digits.

Let's just hope we've seen the last of the twin towers.

 

[Mr. McTavish]

Hey Jigo_oi!

 

[Karma]

I still not sure why the twin tower thing has got so much grief on here. It was terrible in Toronto, and that was certainly a blunder on Brown's part. In Boston it was fine and we made up some ground and tonight it was decent. The problem moreso has been the guard play with those guys. Certainly no comfort factor there yet.

Looking at this matchup, Charlotte play very small. Radmanovic played big minutes up front along with Diaw and Wallace. So they could outrun us, or we could dwarf them. They don't shoot well at the perimeter so maybe it could work here.

I still don't get the Okafor / Chandler trade for Charlotte.

 

[Mr. McTavish]

So, I was wondering if anybody was interested in playing some Friday Ni... I mean... Saturday Night Chess with me tomorrow night. Shit is going to get intense.

Love my 1st Amendment rights here guys.

The biggest issue I have with TT is that they both suck at defending the pick and roll. Did you see Flynn blow by Shaq off the pick today? Terrible positioning.

 

[Chris]

Cavs are on the board. Time to haul ass.

 

[Tony_The_Calf]

Hopefully Delonte Makes his debut tonight.

Huh? You made two posts in this thread, and I don't know what the hell you said. Could you elaborate a bit?

Yeah; I don't get the issues with the Shaq/Z thing either. It will work at the right times. Flexibility is always a good thing.

 

[Typhoon]

Holy crap, i missed the game vs the Wolves i totally forgot!

 

[ajz20]

By the way Cavs are having a Halloween Party with Jim Chones at The Hard Rock at 430 SAt . Best costumes wins you A Cavs Prize. I have to warn everyone this is also sponsered by the Cavs Fanatic site, so you wil be dealing with people that have half the IQ from this board!

 

[Zog]

The Bobcats are obviously scared of us...

What was that Larry Brown quote? Something like, "if they don't have Parker, they have West. If they don't have Shaq, they have Z. If they don't have LeBron, you have God."
