Bobcats-Lakers

Big win by the Bobcats tonight. If the Bobcats could've hit FT's, the game would have never went to OT.

 

You just enjoyed it because you got to talk to me while watching the game.

 

Would probably have beaten the Pacers Sunday night if they could have hit FT's.

 

Pretty impressive win. This team looks like a playoff team now. Who knows if they will keep this up the rest of the season but right now they are playing very well.

Felton was one assist short of a triple double. I am starting to think letting him walk would be a mistake.

 

Ahh I could have fucking killed them for missing those 4 FTs. The game was wrapped up in regulation, next thing I knew they were down 4 in OT. Great comeback though, glad they got the win. Kobe fouling out on a ticky-tack foul didn't hurt, either.

The crowd was pissed, this is the third year in a row the Cats have won @ Lakers. Too bad they didn't come to Indiana with that effort.

 

Kobe fouling out was just sweet justice after Bynum took out Wallace (who ended up going to the hospital to get checked out for a collapsed lung).

Bobcats are only a game and a half out right now from that 8th spot.

 

Yeah, that fall by Wallace was brutal. Classy crowd too to start booing while he's laying on the ground (they were booing the intentional foul call but still.) Hope Crash doesn't miss too much time.

 

Those 4 missed FT's were brutal. I thought the game was over and it was just a matter of running it out but the Bobbers never do anything the easy way. I'd like to know why they seem to have the Lakers number though. Different year with different players but they still win. I'll be glad when DJ gets back....

 

Yeah, those missed FTs cost us like an hour's sleep lol. Not to mention they looked dead in the water during the first OT, I'm going to have to check the tapes to see how they even got back into the game. Really glad we didn't let that one slip away. Anyone else watch it in HD? Looked fantastic, man I can't wait until all the Cats games are in HD.

A couple of interesting tidbits:

1. It was voted as game of the night on NBA TV. Apparently people vote on which game they want to see on Tuesdays, and this game was the game that won (for Kobe obviously.) So the Cats had a semi-national audience tuned in which is cool.


2. As stated before, Felton was the man and just one assist shy of a triple double. Diaw was one assist and one rebound shy of a triple double, and both hit huge shots all night long. Once we get DJ back we've got a pretty damn solid Top 7, amazing feat and Jordan deserves a lot of credit for the two recent trades.


3. As you said Elric we do have the Lakers number. We became only the second NBA franchise with a winning percentage over the Lakers (5-4,) joining only the Celts. It's also the third year in a row that we won in LA. Judging by the groans and booing from their crowd, they knew this as well. It's nice to see Charlotte as 'hated,' perhaps they can foster this into some good feelings at home. It's great seeing them play so well, let's hope Wallace comes back quickly.



I went to the Char-POR game a couple of weeks ago here and although they are talented we can definitely play with them. Hopefully we find a way to bring some energy tonight and compete. Looks like DJ will be ready for the next game on FRI.

 

I was pissed as shit about those FT's.

They actually got down 6 in the first OT. Almost turned it off.

Good win, the team really showed some grittiness.

After Kobe went out, the Lakers started pounding Bynum inside and Okafor had no answer. Then they stupidly went away from him and started shooting (missing) jumpers.
