Charlotte streaking to nowhere
Quote: | With forwards Emeka Okafor (ankle), Gerald Wallace (knee) and Sean May (knee), already sidelined, the Bobcats could be without another player up front this evening, as Bernard Robinson (ankle) missed practice on Thursday and will be a game-time decision tonight. |

The Bobcats should add some good talent in next Summer's draft. If there are going to be problems, it's better to happen early in the team's history. The team will be reluctant to risk young talent. Players don't have to be as injured to sit out games. Everyone knew they wouldn't be making the Playoffs prior to the start of the season. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness.

This game worries me. It seems that everytime the Lakers encounter a losing streak from an opposing team, they decide to bring their F-game. Remember Portland and Indiana. |

With the loss to an undermanned Indy team, I am not taking this game for granted. Especially with Lamar Odom out, I hope the team comes out on fire right from the start. _________________

Yup you are right. We tend to choke against bad teams... _________________ Be nice to Mitch and everyone in this planet. Never do evil or commit any act that might hurt others' feelings. We must all become environmentalists.

Just the five teams you have mentioned would have made us a better looking team. Now we are 24-21, but we should be 29-16 (WOW!) _________________ Be nice to Mitch and everyone in this planet. Never do evil or commit any act that might hurt others' feelings. We must all become environmentalists.

Thats what separates good teams from average teams. The good teams will win games they 'should' win, and the fact that we dropped the ball(literally) on that many winnable games shows how average we really are. |

The one thing that always concerns me about the Bobcats is that they play teams closely in every game. They may end up losing the majority of them, but if I remember correctly, last year, they had the most number of games decided by less than 5 points or something. This year, they haven't had as much luck no thanks to the injuries, but if they play the Lakers closely, we'll have to watch out. We all know the Lakers aren't exactly great at winning out close games this year. |

There is always a risk of losing to any team if you don't take them seriously. The Bobcats will have an odd lineup. They will be at home. They have nothing to lose. The Lakers need to dominate early. They need to put the game out of reach by the end of the third quarter. I want to see the Andrew Bynum show in the fourth. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness.
