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!

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
