    Yeah, they have played well for a couple of weeks now. DJ and Felton are making a quick backcourt, and Okafor somehow has developed some touch he didn't have at the beginning of the season. With Richardson finally back perhaps they can win a few in a row.

    Another really big game by Okafor. This is bizarre.

    It's funny because Fowler or whoever predicted that after the Timberwolves game, Okafor would go back to being passive.

    Nice to see May with a double double, but lets remember this was the Thunder at home. They have Chris Wilcox, Nick Collison and Joe Smith inside. And that's the good inside players they have, understandably their record stands at 2 and 17.

    The Bobcats get their record up to 7 and 11, but it must be remembered that they have had a league-high 13 home games. It's a shame that with the history of new Larry Brown teams and slow starts that we didn't play more on the road, but perhaps our record would even be worse then.

    One nice thing about this recent hot streak for Okafor, he's been shooting better from the FT line. Last night he was 9-12, if he could just get into the low 70's he could be around 18 ppg for us.

    Okafor taking more shots is tremendously helpful to the rest of the team.

    The same thing happened last year when Thelt got his hopes up about a playoffs appearance. I wonder why they frontload Charlotte's schedule so much.

    Yeah, early in the season he was hesitant to even throw a shot up. It looks like he was in over his head and now things are starting to slow down for him. If Brown can make him into any sort of low post offensive threat then he's worth the cash for the hire right there.

    Because they have to make way for the CIAA tournament and Bob's horse show in the spring. At least this year they don't have to leave for the ACC and NCAA's too.

    Feltons assist numbers have directly correlated with Okafors points. Looks like somebody finally figured out what a pick and roll is.

    That's the bizarre thing, back in 2005 or maybe 6, they ran that thing to death and it was ridiculously effective. I remember a game vs the Lakers where they just ran it over and over and over and it was supremely effective.

    No idea why they stopped.
