The Bobcats travel to "Rip City" tonight when they face a young Portland Trail Blazers squad. The Blazers have remained competitive despite injuries to several key players. All Star 2 guard Brandon Roy is out, Joel Pryzbilla is out as well as young center Greg Oden. In there absence, veteran PG Andre Miller has stepped up his game, dropping 52 points over the weekend. Young power forward LaMarcus Aldridge is one of the most underrated players in the game and can be a matchup problem night in and night out with his jump shooting ability. A win tonight would be HUGE and would only make this west coast road trip an even bigger success for the Mighty Bobcats. Portland is a young scrappy team and their home crowd will be rowdy as hell. The Bobcats will need to control the paint and knock down their shots to have any chance to win their 4th straight game. GO BOBCATS!!!

"Durr Hurr Hurr" let's not trade Diaw!1

Dude is flinging the ball everywhere like he's playing TAP, take a damn shot or make an offensive move every once in awhile you poo.

Diaw for Thompson straight up.

Throw in DJ too, lately he has really made me mad, esp considering we could have B Lopez, but I try not to think about it.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
