Game 48: Bobcats@Lakers


King Taharqa

Recommended Posts

The Mighty Bobcats will travel to the Staples Center tonight to face the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. Going up against the Lakers always seems to bring out the best in the Bobcats and Im expecting no different tonight. The Bobs are not afraid of the bright lights & stars of Hollywood and have played well in their last few visits to Staples. The Lakers are led by Kobe Bryant, future HOF 2 guard who just passed Jerry West as the Lakers all time leading scorer. The Lakers big men, Gasol, Bynum, & Odom can be a force in the paint, so if we dont get a big game from our frontcourt, we have no chance tonight. After getting beaten soundly by the Blazers 2 nights ago, I want to see us bounce back and play one of the NBA's elite as tough as we can on their home floor. GO BOBCATS!!!

I have been looking forward to this one all season. We have owned the Lakers in the last 3 or 4 years but the matchups were always in our favor. Raja could give Kobe fits and I am interested to see how Jax will do in this system against him. Artest has been problematic for us every time we play him so Gerald will need all of that intensity.

The Gasol/Bynum tandem will be hard to guard against too without a premiere 5 defender. Boris needs to stay out of foul trouble or else their big lineup could pose problems. It would be awesome if Tyson could play tonight! Go Cats!

    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
    • So you believe that Levis had a better day throwing deep because one of those was a TDs? Asking for clarity on that as it was already clearly demonstrated that Bryce would've had a TD had Moore not dropped it in the back of the end zone. The entire purpose of their metric is to look at the throw and grade that because the QB has complete control over it. That was made abundantly clear from the video provided prior to that. Nobody is trying to manifest him as a top-10 player. He had performances during his return from benching that measured in the top-10 in different metrics. The issue at play is that because those stats support Bryce's progress (and refutes that his ceiling is his floor), that you and other people that don't care for Bryce being the Panthers' QB are going out of your way to either a) ignore factual data, or b) cast uncertainty on the methodology. There's no actual interest in stats and facts like as you mentioned previously. All of the non-PFF info, like passing yards in a single game, is also not entirely reliant on the QB. That's one of the points that Jimmy has hammered home but y'all continue to try and sidestep: that the ability to throw deep relies more on elements like timing rather than physically having a howitzer for an arm. Yes, arm strength does play a role but let's not be coy: the entire narrative that Bryce is not a capable deep ball thrower is 100% rooted in the same reasoning that folks had for thinking he wouldn't survive an NFL hit... bro is too smol. We have plenty of data (AND film) that show this. Whether or not the people that don't want it to be true stop clinging to what they want to believe instead is up to them.
    • This isn’t a bad deal for the right people. Sure not everyone has that kind of money to burn. But $10k for everything including all travel (that includes a private flight), lodging, meals, tix to the game? Meeting former players? It’s a lot of logistics that if done solo would take a lot of time to coordinate. When I was younger I spent my time to save money, and now I spend my money to save time.
