Game 81: Bobcats@Nets


King Taharqa

Recommended Posts

Tonight our Mighty Bobcats are in the Garden State. And oh what a beautiful garden it is! :D The New Jersey Nets have had the Bobcats # this season. Beating us the last 2 times we've faced them. Led by young big man Brook Lopez, Devin Harris, Courtney Lee, & young rookie T Williams, the Nets have had one of the worst seasons in NBA history. Dealing with so many losses, a change in ownership, and an eminent move to Brooklyn NY in the next coming years has got to be tough on these guys. But for whatever reason, it hasnt seemed to faze them when they face us. The Bobs have struggled on the road all season long, and the Nets seem to match up very well with us, we need all star performances by G-Force & Jax to have a shot. A win tonight evens the season series and gives us a big road victory to go into the playoffs on. GO BOBCATS!!!

“Winning is not the most important thing right now, but at the same time, we want to still be solid. We want to go out there and play well, we want to go out there and respect the game and play the game the right way and go into the playoffs feeling good about the way we’ve been playing.”

Gerald Wallace will likely be held out of Monday's game due to a shoulder injury.

Larry Brown plans on sitting him down tonight, while Tyrus Thomas is expected to be back in action for the Bobcats. Get Wallace on your bench for Monday's game, and watch for news on his status for Wednesday's finale. Brown is going to rest Wallace against the Nets, but also said if there are playoff implications for Wednesday against Chicago, he'll play his starters if possible.

    • A team should always be putting at least one or two draft picks in at tackle and guard each season. Those guys just don't last nearly long enough and those that do get very, very expensive. In our situation, we need a little more time to see what the Icky injury works itself out to. Njiman performed really well out there and if this injury lingers into the next season, then he might do well enough there to hold the line for the team. Or we could draft early if there is a stud LOT in the draft when our spot comes along.  Honestly, we may be looking at replacing both LT and RT this season at this point. Moton is getting long in the tooth and while he deserves a shot to go for a playoff run with this team, I don't know whether we will really see him come back next season yet. It's still so darned early in all of this to say.
    • Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential.  This year was the outlier.  Regression to the mean is unavoidable.  So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.
    • One thing I noticed in this game (and I say this as the biggest of Bryce Young haters) is that Bryce did do a solid job of throwing into voids in this game, and leading receivers on crossers.  There were a few times where I was thinking "where the hell is he throwing it" only for a receiver to appear out of nowhere and catch it in stride.  Mike McDaniel might be a guy that can squeeze a little bit of production out of the otherwise ghastly Bryce Young. His offenses heavily feature that style of passing game.  I've heard Idzik is drawing interest from other teams.  If so, bringing McDaniel in at OC would be a stellar move.  I know it'll never happen, but fun to think about.
