Game 27: Charlotte Bobcats (7-19) @ Denver Nuggets (14-13)

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Tip Off: 9:00 P.M.

Overall Series: Denver (10) Charlotte (5)

The Bobcats are once again searching for that elusive 8th victory and if they want it tonight, they will have to do so in their fourth game in five nights (last game of this road trip).

Much like the Warriors, the Nuggets have a nice nucleus in Ty Lawson, Andre Iguodala, Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried, Corey Brewer, and JaVale McGee. They also have some nice bench assets in Andre Miller and Wilson Chandler.

Denver is 7-1 at home (only loss at home was to Miami), so this is definitely going to be a tough match-up.

Expect Bismack to play a little power forward tonight because he has a better match-up in Kenneth Faried then he does with Kosta Koufos

Key to tonight's game: BJ Mullens and Bismack Biyombo have to get their offensive game going if the cats want to win tonight's game because the back courts of Denver and Charlotte will look to cancel each other out tonight.

Projected Starting Lineups

Charlotte Bobcats

PG- Kemba Walker

SG- Jeff Taylor

SF- Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

I don't know if you guys have seen this, but here is our star QB rocking some Bobcats gear!!!

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

About 8 minutes until tip-off. Who's watching with me?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'll never understand why you don't commit a hard foul so that someone doesn't get an and one.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

MKG and JT off to decent starts.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

BJ and Biz not understanding their rotations tonight.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Biz needs to look for that pass so he can just get the easy flush.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

MKG with a monster dunk!!!

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Weak foul all there, Faried extended his arm out (should have been an offensive foul).

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

BJ still cold as ice.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

BJ finally gets one to fall, and what do you know it was nice 8 foot hook.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

If Mullens only worked in the paint like that all night.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Kemba gets fouled, no call and Denver gets a run out.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Cats down 29-23 at the end of one.

Anyone actually here?
