Tonight's game is a critical one between the 8th seeded Bobcats and the 9th seeded Bucks in Milwaukee. As fans and surely as players know, you can never get too high or too low on yourself. It is a long season and the loss to the Nets was quickly erased from our memory with a win vs. Cleveland. The Bobcats now face the Bucks and can't have a let down after a big win last night. This is the 4th time the Bobcats will face the Bucks having won 2 of 3 already this season.

Excellent work RadioKiller. I truly believe last night's game wont define us, it'll be these games that do. Going up against lesser teams like the Bucks, Nets, Sixers, etc we need to bring our A game and get the job done. To everybody who requested an avy in the other thread, I got you sometime today. GO BOBCATS!!!

Looks like there was no one there for that game. Bradley Center is a very nice arena.

Salmons had a great debut last night, hopefully we can slow them down. Go Cats!!!!

Salmons is a great scorer, you're right. Look what I found about the Bucks and their arena situation...

Despite being one of the premier NBA facilities when completed in 1988, the Bradley Center is currently the 4th oldest active NBA arena (tied with the Palace of Auburn Hills and ARCO Arena, which also opened in 1988), only behind Madison Square Garden (which is to undergo renovations in 2010), Oracle Arena (which has been significantly remodeled), and Izod Center (which is scheduled for replacement). The lack of modern features such as revenue-boosting club seating, high-definition video boards, state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, along with outdated heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, deteriorating seating, outdated event production technology, and insufficient parking around the arena, have all contributed to the Bucks being the lowest-valued team in the NBA and near the bottom in team revenue. What makes the Bradley Center unique is that it was a gift from a family without any provision for the building's long-term capital needs or annual operating expenses. While the facility is self-sufficient, Bradley Center tenants such as the Milwaukee Bucks are at a disadvantage compared with other NBA teams due to the arrangement.

Building a new, state-of-the-art downtown arena has been proposed by Bucks owner, Herb Kohl, but community reaction to a publicly-funded new arena has been mostly negative. In 2009, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle included a provision in the state's capital budget seeking $5 million in state bonding support to renovate the Bradley Center. The Bradley Center's board of directors told state officials that the Bradley Center needs $23 million in renovations, so they reportedly agreed to raise the remaining $18 million on their own.

pulled from wiki. Hmmmmmmm.

Bucks will be one of the first teams gone when the NBA cuts teams down in 2 years. They've never done a thing in there history.

They beat our Hornets in the 02 ( I think) semifinals in a game 7. That was a really good team with Baron, Mashburn, Maglore and a few other guys. I was also at all three home games during that eastern semi.

That was when they had the big 3 of Glen Robinson, Sam Cassel and Ray Allen.

Memories man, lol. That was the year we went, as the underdog, and steamrolled through Miami. The series against the Bucks was a good one. I get mad thinking about that one, because if we would've advanced, I know we could've beat Philly in the conference finals and made it to the Finals(we would've probably lost in the Finals to LA, though). Went down 0-2, came back and won 3 in a row to go up 3-2. I was for sure we were going to move on to the next round. Oh well, hopefully the 'Cats do better than the Hornets ever did and brings this state a championship; atleast an appearance in the conference finals.

Anyways, Bobcats need to get a W tonight. Got to beat the teams your supposed to beat. I expect this to be a low-scoring game. Bobcats should get the W tonight.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
