Game 73: Raptors vs. Bobcats


King Taharqa

Recommended Posts

The Bobs look to make it 4 straight wins tonight at TWC Arena when they face the current 8th seeded Toronto Raptors. The Raptors are led by all star big man Chris Bosh, Jarrett Jack, and the "Italian stallion" Andrea Bargnani. They currently are on a 3 game losing streak including a tough loss to Miami last night. We lost our last game against Toronto on the road, but blew them out big time at home in an earlier matchup. Tonight we need to continue to control the paint as well as contest shots. We're coming off a huge win at home on Friday night and have had a couple days of rest, so I expect us to look fresh and bring alot of intensity. A victory tonight would give us even more breathing room away from that dreaded 8th spot (who will face the King in Rd 1) and brings us closer to our magic number into the playoffs. GO BOBCATS!!!

I know people are making a big deal about Diaw on Bosh, but what about Tyrus Thomas? I think he could do a good job vs. Bosh.

Thats the second matchup and it should be interesting. I suspect TT to be a bit more solid here than Diaw though so it isn't as exciting to think about.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
