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.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
