Game 79: Bobcats @ Rockets


HeatCheck

Recommended Posts

The Bobcats are officially in the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. They have a small chance of improving their seed and it all starts tonight. But the question remains, will Charlotte look to improve their standing or will the starters play limited minutes so no injury is risked? Either way it is nice to know that we can watch these games without so much stress. Go Bobcats!

Anyone know what playoff ticket prices will be? Cheaper ranging ones of course, I'm broke haha. I'm going to try to make another game soon since I've been up here in Raleigh so long.

We beat them with Theo and Tyson last time, I think if we have at least 3 of our 4 bigs healthy we can beat them. If Diop can get healthy I think we have a nice shot, since that's 18 fouls to wear down Howard. It's good to have Nazr back.

Or that. At least we would have some confidence knowing we have beat the Cav's all year. We can't beat the Magic.

We beat the Magic this year bro, there are only a few playoff teams that we have not beaten. Out of all 17 teams in contention for the playoffs. The only 4 the Bobcats have not beaten are the Celtic's Maverick's, Jazz, and Trailblazer's.

I feel really comfortable playing the Magic. Howard is good, but he is only one man. Howard can not take on all three centers from the Bobcats. We can throw Ratliff, Chandler, Mohammad, hell even Diop out there. I like our chances verses the Magic much more than our chances verses the Celitc's.

Thats a good point. I forgot we had him in our win against them. I saw a stat that we have won one game in our last 12 against them. That's kind of scary but i guess we're 1-0 with this new line up. :)

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
