Game 58: Mavericks vs. Bobcats

Recommended Posts

The Bobcats will face the Dallas Mavericks later tonight at TWC Arena. After a 4 game road trip, the Bobs will enjoy the comforts of home and some of the best fans in the NBA. With Miami & Milwaukee both taking L's last night, we are now back in the 8th spot in the East and sit 1 game out of 7th. So this game IMO is a great test for the Bobs and will be one of the most difficult games of the year. The Bobs have never defeated the Mavericks. And right now their newly retooled unit is on fire winning 7 straight. Mavs owner Mark Cuban has always believed in having a size advantage in the front court and our team has never really been able to counter that. Truth be told, the Mavs are a LEGIT NBA title contender this year and are trying to become more than just an NBA "middle team" that always makes the dance but can never go all the way. We will have to find some way to minimize Dirk, beast on the boards, and shoot a very good percentage to have a shot to win this one. GO BOBCATS!!!

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • 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.
