Game 48: Bobcats@Lakers

[King Taharqa]

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!!!

Pretty pumped for this game tonight. I think there was a real chance that the players were looking past the Blazers and looking forward to this game tonight.

Go Cats!!!

Hopefully the Cats come out with energy, and looking crisper. Big game right here to see if the 'Cats can hang with the best. I can't wait for the match-up between Jax and Kobe. Gerald vs Artest oughta be interesting too.

[HeatCheck]

So pumped for this game, I believe well make it close.

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!

Wallace may not play tonight =/

[King Taharqa]

We have no chance to win without G Force.

[King Taharqa]

Its almost time. GO GO BOBCATS!!! FIGHT BOBCATS FIGHT!!!

[King Taharqa]

G-Force is officially out.

[tarheelblue89]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I am VERY tired, I'm not sure if I really want to stay up for this if Crash ain't playing. We got no shot in hell.

[God]

Stephen Graham starting LMAO. I will not be watching.

[BOBCATS_BALL!]

Guys, imagine the confidence that will be built if we can win this game with out Gerald. If Boris, DJ and Flip can make some shots and Jack and Ray play a solid game, we have a shot.

Gotta stay postive.

[cdandi1]

why doesn't larry start felton, flip, jax, boris and nazi..not graham. But then again, hes the coach for a reason, and im on a message board for a reason too. Oh well GO CATS!!!!
