Game 55: Bobcats @ LA Clippers

[HeatCheck]

Can't believe we lost it after leading after 3, although it was a slim margin. I don't know what it is with teams we are supposed to beat and with teams on the road. I think it is mental. Will we ever be able t play like we did at the beginning of the new year?

Were going to have to start winning games like these.... The road to the playoffs won't get any easier from here on out

[HeatCheck]

We are officially out of the playoffs if it began today. Things don't get easier, off to Utah Wednesday.

This is inexcusable. There is no reason this team should be so bipolar.

[Panthers128]

they're not in the playoffs anymore, maybe that'll motivate them

[Kevin Greene]

Imagine how good the Clippers will be next year when they sign Lebron and get Blake Griffin on the court.

Live by the Jack die by the Jack..

He slowly but surely starting to wear on my nerves, and this team needs a guard off the bench who can score badly.

28 more games left.

Anyone still want to claim that the Bobcats FO is significantly better than the Panthers?

The Bobs are still a sub-.500 team...who consistently loses to lesser talented teams....and is now on the outside looking in for the playoffs.

They have improved, but are still a mediocre team at best.

We're still playoff bound. And until I see the Bobs mishandle contract situations like the Panthers did Jake & Pep, hell yes they're better and in a better position for the future. Until one of their star players like G-Force comes out and basically says he doesnt think he can achieve his goals here and we have to force him to play here cuz he doesnt want to resign here, yes the Bobs front office is better.

that

but we need to get a scorer/shooter badly- our offense is hurting right now.. the Clippers went cold after the 1st qtr and we still didnt put em away.. when Jax plays like he did last night- we need a 2nd option.. i dont trust anybody making a clutch 3 down the stretch- maybe Felton.. but we need points ina bad way man, shoot

[King Taharqa]

Thats where the loss of Flip hurts us. If DJ and Ray dont play big we dont have alot of guys who can create their own shot. Jax is one of the only ones. I dont expect him to play that poorly again, we will bounce back. Just not sure if its gonna be our next game in Utah. Thats a TOUGH PLACE to win at.

Neither one of the teams' front offices have anything to brag about. The difference is that a .500 season for one team is considerd an extreme and utter disappointment that should have everyone in the organization fired, but a .500 season for the other would be a season that is well above expectations.

remember guys, we're not 10 games out, just a half, i think

win quality games, stop acting like a 16 year old girl on her period, and "play the right way"
