Bobcats

The Chandler trade appears to be a bust and Diaw has forgotten how to put up a shot. Still, if they could cut their turnovers in half they should be at .500 or better. I think at least 5 of their away losses were at an average of 4.5 points. I find that they are an exciting team to watch and feel that most games they position themselves for a win.
As long as the team is putting together these kinds of effort I could care less about who the owners are.

 

I agree that the NBA wanted to be the first league with a minority owner. Johnson also happened to be a Billionaire which you know ,you need to be able to afford a team. and while he is or may seem to be a tight wad, remember the Bobcats had a restricted salary cap the first few years by the NBA on how much they were allowed to spend on players.

and they have gone after free agents . Varajao(sp)Cleveland, Landry from Houston, and maybe someone else. they signed those players to offer sheets and the players decided to stay where they were. hes also been willing to take on salary in trades(= to FA spending) Richardson,Diop,Chandler,Jackson,Radmanovich. There was interset in Rasheed Wallace,Vince Carter so you cant say they have not tried. they are never going to get a Kobe,Lebron in FA, only 2-3 teams are in that category.

Im not a big Bob Johnson fan, and I hate that the team has his name in it more than anything, but I usually dont think about that or him when Im watching a game. The team plays hard and its not their fault who the owner is. the draft choices are pretty horrible, but thats more on MJ or whoever made those decisions.

 

There's like five people on earth who care about the Bobcats, and they're all posting in this thread.

 

Mettallica had a song on the black album called "sad but true"....

 

The hardest playing , most under-appreciated SOB in the league,

Gerald Wallace finally has some help in Jackson.

He frees Raymond up to play better by not forcing plays

That`s 3.

Time for the roles of the others to be established and start standing tall.


Jackson is really a good kid & is scared of cats, ironically.

Give em some time ( & support) to learn to jell & close out games,

The playoffs will be a long overdue present to this 'Int City'...

 

Holy shit , they beat LaBron and the Cavs in Cleveland

 

Two in a row on the road.

 

Basketball is boring. Pro Basketball is really boring.

 

I didn't realize there was an NBA team in Oklahoma City until this morning.

 

They have won three in a row but they are doing it all with guard play. They have nothing inside right now. That Okafor trade is looking worse each passing day.
