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.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
