Game 48: Bobcats@Lakers


King Taharqa

Recommended Posts

The Mighty Bobcats will travel to the Staples Center tonight to face the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. Going up against the Lakers always seems to bring out the best in the Bobcats and Im expecting no different tonight. The Bobs are not afraid of the bright lights & stars of Hollywood and have played well in their last few visits to Staples. The Lakers are led by Kobe Bryant, future HOF 2 guard who just passed Jerry West as the Lakers all time leading scorer. The Lakers big men, Gasol, Bynum, & Odom can be a force in the paint, so if we dont get a big game from our frontcourt, we have no chance tonight. After getting beaten soundly by the Blazers 2 nights ago, I want to see us bounce back and play one of the NBA's elite as tough as we can on their home floor. GO BOBCATS!!!

I have been looking forward to this one all season. We have owned the Lakers in the last 3 or 4 years but the matchups were always in our favor. Raja could give Kobe fits and I am interested to see how Jax will do in this system against him. Artest has been problematic for us every time we play him so Gerald will need all of that intensity.

The Gasol/Bynum tandem will be hard to guard against too without a premiere 5 defender. Boris needs to stay out of foul trouble or else their big lineup could pose problems. It would be awesome if Tyson could play tonight! Go Cats!

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

    • Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
