Hate these kind of games when you play a really good team on the 2nd night of a back to back after playing a really good team. Also taking into account both games are road games and the Bobcats are a terrible road team makes it all the worse.

Still watching and rooting though. Maybe amazing will happen tonight!

We're playing really good so far. Good defense and some decent looks. Not too much foul trouble. Let's keep this going Cats, we need win here. I would be really happy to get 1/2 of this Texas trip.

Also, Felton is playing out of his mind lately. What is it, 41 assists/10 TO's in the last 10 games?

the bobcats have a serious issue with their offense at times. you cannot play 1 on 5 and expect to be completely shut down on defense and then kick it out after using most of the shot clock. if you're just standing there with the ball doing useless fakes and not covering any ground, 5 defenders are staring at you waiting for a steal, you cannot expect to throw some lazy pass out of your 1 on 5, you have to eye or wave someone over and hand the ball off.

also chandler and diaw don't block guys out

EDIT: This game is driving me insane, the telegraphed passes must stop, diaw throws the ball away in a 4 point game??

EDIT2: Gerald Wallace leads the NBA in rebounds and can't get an over the back call? They've refused to call it all game long, I've seen at least 3.

refs gave the cats some calls at the end of OT, but the bobcats had no answer for Dirk Nowitski late in the game, they had no answer for Tim Duncan last night. not easy stopping the elite power forwards in the NBA

i felt the bobcats had a chance to close the game out at the end of regulation but turned the ball over and had unfortunate calls against them on defense which put the mavs on the FT line due to being in the penalty.

great effort last night and tonight though. they need to bring this same effort against weaker teams in the coming days.

      Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
