    :D
    For some reason I feared this game. I'd better just keep it to myself. Flashbacks, us against bobcats, swirling in my head.

    me too - I almost wanted Tmac not to be there, so the rest of the team would be "extra pumped" for the game

    You have good reason to fear it--esp. if Baron is playing. The Hornets are something like 5-4 lately, and have really been playign every team tough. Dickau has been lights out from the field. Baron playing would scare me too. TMac is almost necessary I think

    If we lose to Hornets, it will be a real downer. We need to come out strong. Pound it inside. No jump shooting contest. Tmac doesnt have to shoot if the lane is closed and 2 defenders in his face. I am just not confident about this team, esp we rarely makes 4 W in a row, and we already had one last week.

    If you're saying that any NBA team can beat any other NBA team on any given day, well that is true. It's also true that I could drop dead tomorrow, but I'm not going to worry about it.

    I think that they have won 4 in a row at home.

    eh

    we've (obviously) got to come out and kill the hornets early

    play them like they don't suck horribly

    if we let down our guard, ****ing bobcat games all over again :eek:

    hopefully though we'll come out with some fire for once against these sub 500 teams

    Glad to hear T-Mac is going to play...

    But my prayers go out to him and his family.

    There's more to life then just sports.

    Here's the reason he missed the game:

    McGrady missed game due to family illness


    By Brian Schmitz | Sentinel Staff Writer
    Posted January 26, 2005


    Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Miller told the Sentinel that Houston Rockets star and close friend Tracy McGrady missed the game against the Orlando Magic on Monday night because the mother of his child fell ill in Houston.

    According to Miller, who spoke with McGrady, McGrady had to rush ClaRenda Harris to a hospital shortly before he was to leave for the game against Orlando, his former team. "She got dehydrated and passed out," Miller said. "Scared T-Mac pretty good. She's OK." McGrady and Harris have a daughter together.
