Bobcats smoke Lakers, 109-89

I was slightly nervous at the beginning of the game, as the Lakers seemed like they meant business early on, but the Bobcats stuck with it and prevailed in the end. Honestly, I feel that most everyone contributed in some form or fashion. DJ, for example, might not have been a scoring machine, but he was still able to distribute the ball well. Crash was his good self. Boris stepped up. Nazr played well. Kwame chipped in, and Jax showed some surprisingly good ball handling. Livingston continued to impress. Najera did his thing.

And then there’s Henderson. Yeah, he had a good game too. How about that Hendo-Kobe match up, hm? Kobe was pissed there near the end of the game.

Nice to see Collins, D Brown, and Carroll play a bit too during the final minutes of the game.

I haven’t glanced at the box score typing the above; it’s all based on my own initial judgment from watching the game. The stats may affect some of what I’ve said, but that’s fine by me.

Good rotations by Silas, as the Bobcats improve their impressive winning record against the Lakers.

Hendo! Nice job rotating players. All we got to do now is play at this level when we play teams who we should beat. No reason we can beat the Celtics and Lakers of the world in our building but not the Nets

great win by the Cats—way to take advantage of a tired, slow team and do what your’e supposed to do.

even though we lost the tiebreakers to the Pacers and 76ers, if we continue to win the games we NEED to win, we shouldnt have trouble getting in the playoffs.

this was a great momentum and confidence building game, and i wish my streaming sites didnt get shut down…

i miss posting with you guys.

also, Andrew (Lali), if you’re reading this, good job on that ticket selling thing!

If Kobe wasn’t sick before the game, he certainly had to be feeling under the weather after dealing with Hendo for most of the evening. #15 is simply a beast on defense, and his offense gets better all the time.

Wallace is back. ’Nuff said.

I’m already looking forward to this momentum carrying over to Chicago. It usually does
D.J. good to see Rose on the floor with him.

Haven’t we beat them 7 times in 11 tries now.

Record beat down by the cats, it was fun to ride those faker fans out of the cable box. I still want Boris traded.

Kobe didn’t even bother.

Gasol, Odom, and a few others did address the media though.

I like his ‘Stay with the hot rotation’ method.

But.

What happened with Boris “NOT” starting because he overslept the walkthrough. He had his fat a$$ out there at the openning tip!

AWESOME win last night!! For once, I was never worried about scoring. When we got the ball I had an unfamiliar and pleasing self confidence that every possession would score points. I usually feel exactly the opposite, in that we are lucky to score on any given possession. It was very refreshing to watch the Bobcats last night, and their offensive dominance. Now, I just hope that Diaw, DJ, Mohammad and others can keep it up for a while to get us into the playoffs. Last night the bobcats were a playoff contending team…

It’s like they’re on a timer to only work in the evening. But it doesn’t have any explanation anywhere as to why.

been feasting off of a straight up cupcake schedule.

Wins:
Milwaukee, Minnesota, Charlotte (controversial ending), New Jersey (twice), Portland, Cleveland, Toronto

Losses:
Miami, Chicago
and before that, Orlando, Portland, Denver, Golden State, Clippers, Bulls.

Their schedule is a little cupcakey over the next few weeks, but they’re not about to run away with the final seed. Philly isn’t either.
