Game 55: Bobcats @ LA Clippers

[HeatCheck]

Bobcats head off to LA after a disappointing loss to the Bucks. The Bobcats now are only a game ahead of the 9th place Bucks and a win tonight is needed to keep or widen that margin. The Bucks play the Knicks and should be favored.

The Clippers should see their newly acquired players, Gooden and Outlaw, hit the court tonight and make their debut. This is the first meeting between the two teams with one more coming in Charlotte.

Projected Starters

Bobcats

PG Felton

SG Jackson

SF Wallace

PF Diaw

C Mohammed

Clippers

PG Blake

SG Gordon

SF Butler

PF Smith

C Kaman

Game is tonight at 10:30 on FS Carolinas.

I wouldn't say this is the best time for a road trip, but i guess it balances out when the majority of our games towards the end are at home. This is big, we need keep improving on the road to set us up for the home stretch.

They still need to prove they can beat these kind of teams. Except LAC is pretty decent this year, I'm saying the Cats' lose.

Yea I understand what you mean about proving that they can beat these teams. Yes the Clips are decent this year but Bobcats need to beat teams that they should beat more consistently. They have the get up for every game.

I guess I'll give the KT's obligatory pics of the opposing team:

I feel that this game is becoming more of a must win kinda deal, especially when the cats have to travel to utah on Wed. You thought the bobcats or cavs were good at home...the Jazz are amazing at home...

Cats need to come out firing on all cylinders, and not get caught in the Jax show. Need to distribute the ball, play good D, and Diaw, IMO needs to have a strong game for us to win. He seems to be the reason we win or lose some games.

boom boom clap, lets go cats!!

Tight work RadioKiller. Any road game from here on out is gonna be tough, as we are a HORRIBLE road team. I dont care who we play, its gonna take an A+ performance to win on the road. Hopefully, we start tonight. GO BOBCATS!!!

Cats need to come out with urgency. They have not done that much lately, except for against the Cavs. We need to stay on track.
