Game 79: Bobcats @ Rockets

[HeatCheck]

The Bobcats are officially in the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. They have a small chance of improving their seed and it all starts tonight. But the question remains, will Charlotte look to improve their standing or will the starters play limited minutes so no injury is risked? Either way it is nice to know that we can watch these games without so much stress. Go Bobcats!

Projected Lineups

Charlotte

PG Felton

SG Jackson

SF Wallace

PF Diaw

C Chandler

Houston

PG Brooks

SG Martin

It'll be interesting to see how much Wallace and Jackson play tonight.

Anyone know what playoff ticket prices will be? Cheaper ranging ones of course, I'm broke haha. I'm going to try to make another game soon since I've been up here in Raleigh so long.

er nvm, didn't see the thread 2 topics below this one

I feel we should sit Wallace for the entire game in my opinion. He is a crucial part of this team and we need him as healthy as possible for the playoffs.

It is possible Charlotte Bobcats starters Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson will play little or not at all in tonight's game against the Houston Rockets.

Time to get the young'uns blooded a bit.

I wish they wouldn't sit them. They need to catch the Bucks and take the 6th spot and with Bogut hurt it's possible. I'd much rather play ATL. We don't want any part of Orlando in the 1st round.

Or better yet fall into the 8 seed and shock the world.

still never easy to root for losing

[Britneck]

Or that. At least we would have some confidence knowing we have beat the Cav's all year. We can't beat the Magic.

[Zcustom]

We beat them with Theo and Tyson last time, I think if we have at least 3 of our 4 bigs healthy we can beat them. If Diop can get healthy I think we have a nice shot, since that's 18 fouls to wear down Howard. It's good to have Nazr back.

We beat the Magic this year bro, there are only a few playoff teams that we have not beaten. Out of all 17 teams in contention for the playoffs. The only 4 the Bobcats have not beaten are the Celtic's Maverick's, Jazz, and Trailblazer's.

I feel really comfortable playing the Magic. Howard is good, but he is only one man. Howard can not take on all three centers from the Bobcats. We can throw Ratliff, Chandler, Mohammad, hell even Diop out there. I like our chances verses the Magic much more than our chances verses the Celitc's.

Remember ATL taking the Celts to the last game the year they won the title?

Just sayin'.

Hopefully whoever we get will be looking past us to the 2nd round.

Thats a good point. I forgot we had him in our win against them. I saw a stat that we have won one game in our last 12 against them. That's kind of scary but i guess we're 1-0 with this new line up.
