Charlotte Bobcats Ownership

I am both confused and befuddled by the recent hoopla over the supposed sale of the Charlotte Bobcats.  I don’t think it’s been confirmed by the league or any of the parties involved.  An announcement of George Postolos’s group buying the team and leaving it open for Michael Jordan and whatever group he has in place to match his offer seems a bit premature.  It’s been going on since May.
The story I’ve heard from my own unnamed sources, legit however, unnamed because it was just a friendly discussion with an …

Charlotte Bobcats lose to the New Orleans Hornets 104-99

There are many good ways to spend a Saturday evening. Unfortunately for us Bobcats fans, none of those ways involved anything that happened in last night’s Bobcats game.
For starters, we had Emeka Okafor come back to town. Emeka is a nice guy, and to be honest with you he was one of my favorite players during his time as a Bobcat. With that being said, it was more than a little bit painful watching him put up 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocked shots and 1 steal while playing solid …

Exciting finish but Bobcats lose to the Lakers (99-97)

The Charlotte Bobcats vs. the LA Lakers 2/3/10
The Bobcats fumbled away an in-bounds pass with 9 seconds on the clock giving Jordon Farmar a dunk. Flip Murray then hit a long 3 pointer, (needed to tie the score when the Bobcats fumbled their inbound), ending the game with a (99-97) lose to the Lakers. Give the Lakers credit for intense defense against a team that had beaten them the last two visits to their building. The ‘Cats again were led by Stephen Jackson who was the …

Road weary lose: Bobcats fall to Trail Blazers (98-79)

The Charlotte Bobcats vs. Portland Trail Blazers 2/1/10
The Bobcats played the Trail Blazers with their star (Brandon Roy) side-lined with a hamstring injury. It did not seem to matter. The Trail Blazers beat the visiting Bobcats by 19 points. Despite another double-double (17 points and 10 rebounds) from all-star forward Gerald Wallace the Bobcats played a very “sloppy” game. It is hard (if not impossible) to win with 21 turn-overs and poor shooting (40.6%), when you allow your opponent to shoot over 50% (53.3%), and you’re playing …

The Charlotte Bobcats survive ANOTHER 4th quarter comeback by the Kings

What a strange game.
The first half of the game was relatively even, but in the 3rd quarter things became amazing.
The third was complete domination by the Bobcats, in fact it looked a little like this pic.
In that quarter they outscored the Kings 34-13 behind some of the most stifling defense and amazing offense that we’ve seen from the Bobcats all season.
Rick Bonnell’s take on the 3rd
After the third quarter, anything seemed possible. Coach Larry Brown, hardly one to throw false praise at his team, said that might have been the …

Boooooo?

I don’t get Boos.  Unless I’m the one booing.  I can only remember booing referees and not them personally but the calls.  I could see booing a guy like Big Baby Davis.  Oh I’m sorry, he wants to be called Glen now.  Basically any Celtic deserves a boo anytime they make one of those plays that they’ve been known for.  Ray Allen in a walkoff, Big Fatty in a walk off.  Not because of the shot but because of the reaction.  The “Ohhh yeah, just as I expected.  I am …

Jackson welcomes himself back to Golden State, Bobcats roll 121-110

The last time a star Warrior was traded to Charlotte for almost nothing and returned to Oracle Arena in Oakland, he was given a hero’s welcome. This time, the Warrior fans had little love for their former swingman. But in the end, it didn’t matter. Captain Jack came to play, as did his First Mate and the rest of his Crew.

Tyson Chandler Needs to Come Back

That’s right.  All the hate, and I mean allllll of it, while warranted, is somewhat moot.  The Bobcats need Tyson Chandler back in the line up if they want to be successful and sustain some level of established improvement.  It’s not that he brings so much himself, it’s what he allows the defense to do.  I made fun of the “article” I found via some website, via his website, which was a rehash of an article Rick Bonnell wrote.  And I will give Rick credit here, as much as I …

Bobcats defeat Suns in OT

The Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Phoenix Suns in OT behind Stephen Jackson’s 30 point game which included a massive 3 pointer to tie it up with 19 seconds left in regulation. In lieu of a lengthy recap ( on my way out of the way out the door to work ) I present to you hilarity from last night’s game thread:

It’s sad. Diaw is so good when he actually wants to be =
UPS got fouled twice, I want him to learn to take the ball up stronger. I’ll give him …

The Charlotte Bobcats have turned us into Junkies

In the first half of January we had all that we could handle. It was free, it was pure and it was powerful. It was the best that we junkies had ever had. When we hit it, the rush put us on top of the world. By mid-January we were hopelessly addicted
