The Bobcats have won 7 straight at home

[rufuspaul]

This is a crucial phase for the Bobcats. We are currently in 7th place in the East. This is exactly where we don't want to be. If the playoffs started today we would play the Heat in a likely 4 game sweep. Best thing for us is to move down to 8th or up to 6th. In 8th we would play the Pacers, who we've already shown we can beat. Move up to the 6th and we pay the Raptors, which would be very interesting indeed.

I vote for winning the majority of our remaining games and taking our chances with the Raptors.

We won again! :rockon:

Too bad Wizards also won.

[onewickedlady]

I believe we've now won eight at home and are working toward reaching our record of nine? Could that be?

[absalom]

Horncats won again. :applause:

[onewickedlady]

What's it going to take for the league to take the Cats seriously?

[absalom]

Advance to the 2nd round of the playoffs upsetting Miami. :rockon:

Advance to the 2nd round of the playoffs upsetting Miami. :rockon:

Most teams couldn't do that and they're still taken seriously.

[DMV2]

They won't win a series but I hope they at least get at least a couple of playoff wins before they become the Hornets.

I was actually warming up to their nickname too.

[onewickedlady]

I'm so jazzed watching them play especially since Neal and Ridenour are aboard.

[rufuspaul]

:facepalm Well we played like crap against the Hawks which was bad because the Hawks gain a game on us and they also win any tie-breaker. Also, we slipped back into our old ways in the 2nd half which just isn't going to cut it down the stretch.

I'm hoping it was a one game thing and we bounce back tonight against the Nets.

What if the Horncats suddenly start tanking? Since the team is probably losing the DET pick this year, what if they let the Knicks grab the 8th seed so the cats keep their own pick instead of going to Chicago. :wtf:

[onewickedlady]

Cats have too much pride to tank. Would not be good for their reputation.

Strong win Sat. against a very good Portland team. Big Al took Robin Lopez to low post school and flunked him. Great crowd too which surprised me considering March Madness was going on. The arena had a playoff atmosphere.

At this point I don't care what seeding we get in the playoffs but I think it's important psychologically to get above .500. To go from the worst season ever to a winning season in less than 2 years would be quite an accomplishment.

[absalom]

.500 baby.

:djparty

:hammertime: :party:

Impressive game by the Horncats today, Cody Zeller w/ a clutch board, he is becoming better Mcbob down the stretch. :bowdown:

Kemba is still in a shooting slump and he should not take 20 shots per game. Better if the other shots were distributed to the shooters. Onwards to the 6th seed. :cheers:

[treadster]

PLAYOFFS!!

:party: :party:

[absalom]

It feels good. :rockon:

[onewickedlady]

This is so outta sight. I remember the first playoffs. This will be a whole new ballgame. Pun intended.

[LJJ]

Yay!

[rufuspaul]

Big game tonight against the Wizards. Both teams have a lot to play for. If the Cats win we'll move up to 6th by virtue of owning the tie breaker. If the Wizards win we're much more likely to end up the 7th seed.

Wall and Beal make a great back court and Nene is expected to be back tonight. McBob is probable for the Cats. For the Cats to win the ball has to go through Big Al and our perimeter guys, including Hendo are going to have to knock down shots. In addition we're going to have to get back in transition or Wall will torch us.

[DMV2]

Ya'll just got 6th seed with tiebreaker over the Wiz.

Still 4 games left to determine, though.
