Ga ga ga game time.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Cats down 8-0 after Kemba gets jobbed already.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Have a feeling tonight is going to be long night with old hags as the refs.

60-59 Detroit at Half. 'Cats down as much as 13 in the first.

Charlotte Leaders:

Walker - 12 pts (6/11 - .545 %), 5 Assists, 1 Steal, 1 TO
MKG - 9 pts (3-5 - .600%), 2 Rebounds (1 offensive, 1 defensive) 3-3 FT
Biyombo - 6 pts (1-3 - .333%), 9 Rebounds (3 offensive, 6 defensive) 4-4 FT

Gordon & Thomas 7 pts apiece
Taylor with 6 pts.
Henderson and Sessions with 4pts apiece.

Henderson not starting...not quite sure with the scoring punch coming off the bench with Sessions and Gordon.

The Pistons shot 72% in first quarter and well over 60% in second quarter and yet the 'Cats are only down one. The 'Cats have momentum heading into the second half. Kemba seems to be getting wherever he wants on the floor and seems to be running the offense better and is always great in the fast break.

If Charlotte defends and rebounds in the second half...the offense should take care of itself like the Chicago game.

WTF^

Sorry, the preview made it seem like it would show up like it does on NBA.com. So instead i just wrote down my thoughts and some stats from the first half.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Lol, no worries.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Bismack Biyombo with his 2nd double-double of the year.

Has 10 points and 13 rebounds tonight.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Cats down 82-79 at the end of three.

[cdandi1]

Both teams seem to have stalled offensively some. Charlotte had multiple very good defensive possessions that quarter, only to have a few terrible ones.

I think this team's biggest weakness (outside of an interior scorer) is defensive consistency. imo.

Go 'Cats!

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Bad call, Cats played good defense that possession.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I love Ramon Sessions.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

It feels like every time we get a nice little run going, we f*ck up and turn the ball over.

[cdandi1]

Yeah that foul of Thomas with 1.4 left on the shot clock was a killer and yet a similar call isnt made when Gordon was smacked the following possession.

Anyway, Detroit is still shooting 60% for the game. That has to even out some the remainder of the quarter...and hopefully that means Charlotte can pull out a victory on the road.

Fingers crossed.
