Game 22: Bobcats @ Mavericks

[Panthers128]

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?

[Zaximus]

Missing wide open 3's... come on guys.

[Zaximus]

I can tell why Larry is pissed at Augstin every game. Stupid shots.

[Zaximus]

Here we go, refs giving calls to the "big" team. I hate NBA refs.

[Panthers128]

yeah these refs are really calling questionable calls at a crucial point in the game

[Panthers128]

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.

[God]

Refs and Diaw cost us this game if we lose.

[Panthers128]

Gerald Wallace with the ball at the end of the game? Are you serious?

[Zaximus]

Refs are garbage. They are handing this game to Dirk and the Mavs. I hate NBA refs, I dare anyone to tell me they aren't the worst ones in pro sports cause they are.

[Zaximus]

This crap makes me want to quit watching the NBA. Horrible calls. At least 5 over-the-back's not called.

And I've always said this, but, wtf why are you allowed you put a LEG out when you fade away so no one can even block you? It's stupid.

[God]

I'm done watching NBA games. The fix was in.

[tarheelblue89]

Refs were horrible yes, but really nothing the Cats could have done. Dirk has been doing this for years.

Great game, can't way to see them play next.

[Panthers128]

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.
