30 Wins for Bobcats

They hit 30 wins. Anyone remember how many they won last year? Add a good coach and they are in the playoffs.

 

I thought they won 31 but upon researching apparently they won 33. They have a history of finishing strong and screwing up their draft position.

 

And they'll accomplish that again this year too it seems. And blow another #1 pick as par for the course.

 

The coach might suck but you just have to realize they aren't as good as you want to believe. They were predicted to be exactly where they are by people who know the NBA.

Yeah, the damage was done over the past couple of weeks when we won 4 out of 5 on the West Coast road trip.

 

Jason Richardson turned out to be every bit as good as advertised. Wallace has been dinged but played very well when healthy. Felton has played much better since they stopped making him split time with McInnis. Okafor and Mohamed have played well too. They really do have some talent. NBA pundits never pick a team that sucks to be good the next year unless they do something like Boston did and get two all stars in the offseason.

 

I know its the NBA, but couldn`t they play just a little defense?

 

people act like its an all star game with no defense. I would bet the ones bitching about it actually never watch,just have that impression from a few years ago. whats better the 65-75 point games from a decade ago or teams scoring 100+ points now? Ive been to about 5 games this year and was surprised that teams do play defense and players can actually shoot better than people give them credit for. its more than dunks and three pointers and nothing else.

 

There is a reason. It rarely happens.

 

True but I would put Wallace and Richardson up against any set of swing men in the league. Okafor and Mohamed are adequate inside. This team has some talent on it.
