We sittin' here, in the the NBA Playoffs, and we're in here talkin' 'bout practice. Or at least Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown is anyway. The Orlando Magic decided not to practice on Monday and man did Brown take notice.
According to the Charlotte Observer Brown told his team "Yesterday Orlando took the day off, that's how [expletive] seriously they're taking us." After game two, one would wonder just how serious the Magic ought to be taking this Bobcats team.
I seriously tried watching that game last night. At one point I fell asleep. I wanted to make a good faith effort to get into this series. After all Gerald Wallace is one of my favorite players and Dwight Howard is fun to watch. But in a game in which there was not very much scoring nor even exciting defense, it was all too easy to fall asleep even on my uncomfortable dorm couch.
Brown's comments about practice really only serve to drive up the number of views on this YouTube clip.
And I guess for that, we cannot be too mad. The Orlando Magic ought to sweep the Bobcats in this series. Raymond Felton looked completely out of sorts in the last game, and his team showed no inclination to attack the Magic at rim, even when Dwight Howard had four fouls. Stephen Jackson was completely MIA and Wallace played like the only one who cared.
The Bobcats are making Skip Bayless look stupid right now. He was saying all season that they would be the team that would knock out the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round. Against a lower seed they have failed miserably.
Maybe Larry ought to worry about his own team's practices before he worries about Orlando's. Are we really talkin' 'bout practice!?!
