10-5 wouldnt be too bad considering we arent at full stength yet. At that pace we are scheduled to win 54 games. Mags just came back and had 2 good games. Our depth can go 12 deep once Waltaaa and Livingston come back. I bet u said we would probably lose to Washington and Seattle on their home floors too. Dont hate, u must appreciate.

2005 stats so far:

Cat- 16 ppg 39%fg 5.7 rebs 4.2 assists
Bobby- 14.8 ppg 49%fg 6.8 rebs 2.5 assists

Looks pretty even to me. Obviously Bobby has a better FG% and Cat hasnt shot the 3 ball too well. His 3 pt shooting will come around.

I'm nore concerned with the shooting percentage and defense. Though I like that Cat has stepped up his defense this year, Bobby was bigger and more of a presense. He has also been posting up this season, which was something that Mike Dabbled with last season, which I think he should have tried a little more because Bobby has done fairly well. But just remember...

Bobby is shooting 49 percent on 47 shots from FG range. He also has only taken 6 three point shots this season which is odd... I figured he'd have taken more considering he liked the wing three last season.

Cat is 37 percent on 87 shots from FG... Though the PPG game is near the same thats a HUGE difference in effecency. Though those numbers could change and reverse eventually.. Imagine if all of a sudden both of those numbers for each tripple through out the year... I'd take Bobbys shooting percentage in a heart beat if thats the case. Although theres no garuentee that will be the cause, I'm only speculating that it could be? Could very well be that Simmons drops down to low 40's, etc. Time will tell. Cat has also already taken 27 three point attempts. Not that its a horrific amount, but when he's only made 8 of em it starts to add up.

By the way no matter how bad Cat looks right now, it's not even the same planet as Cassell.. I mean he is shooting 38 percent on 93 attempts. Ouch.

I hope that Cat can get used to Mikes system soon and start geting his percentages up and consistancey. Thats all. Not a lot to ask for the kind of cash he's making.

I dont think Cat will continue with the low percentage from 3 pt range. Sam won the game in Seatte by himself in the 4th quarter and almost had a triple double the other night. You brought some good stats to the table but the most important stat is wins. We are 5-1. Im not going to complain about that. We would have lost the Seattle and Washington games last year the way we choked in the 4th quarter. Dont you think Cat and Sam are part of the reason why we havent lost those games in the 4th quarter?

CDRacingZX6R

I think they definatly helped out a lot. I'm not short siding that having experiance on the court has made a world of difference, not to mention Sam has had some amazing assists in the fourth quaters of a couple of the games. Seattle is a joke though. I think if we rematched them now, with full strength it wouldnt have even been a close battle although I think he did work out well with the other games. I think they are important, but like Dynasty Raider mentioned its the better teams that play like this wont beat. When we match up VS Spurs, Heat, Detroit, Indiania, Dallas, Houston, etc... Shooting like that, especally in crunch time will cost us victorys.

But I agree, I dont see any reason for Mobleys shooting to stay where it's at. Im assuming its just simply finding himself comfortable with the new system. Cassell will pick up his shooting more, but he will be streaky... He has always been streaky.. It works well for Cassell, I just dont want three people possibly doing that in a fourth quarter.. Imagine if Corey, Cassell, and Mobley are all going 5 for 25 in a game... That would be a painful site. So as long as only one person is streaky (Cassell is fine because he is also shown to be very clutch over the years, with good leadership) i'd be cool wit it. Just not two or three players.

Are you a Laker or a Clipper fan?

Sir Patchwork

I agree, I think 10-5 would be great. People on this board called the rest of November an easy win though, so by that logic, the rest of the season is an easy win outside of the Spurs, Pistons and Pacers. That's what, 12 games? So 69-13 sounds right? I'm just trying to point out how dissappointed Clippers fans will be (again) if they actually think the Clippers are going to lose one or two games per month.

I thought they would lose to Seattle, mainly because I thought Seattle would be a lot better than they have been. If I would have known that they would be this bad, I would have picked the Clippers to beat them. That's more to do with Seattle though, not LA. But with the Wizards, the Clippers were a 4.5 point favorite and I still picked them to cover. I've actually correctly predicted every Clippers game except that first one.

I'm not hating, as I keep saying, I'm a fan of the Clippers and watch more of their games than most of their fans. I would rather be considered a "hater" who ended up being right, than a blind fan who ended up being wrong and getting their heart broken. A lot of Clippers fans get their heart broken every year the Clippers start well, because they set unreal expectations.
