One thing that you can see from this video is that nobody can stay in front of him he when he wants to drive to the basket. When you watch the video, you'll see that theres a lot of Tony Parker in Raymond's game with a touch of Kevin Johnson thrown in for good measure.

Emeka Okafor > Dwight Howard

Before you have a spasm over that statement look past the hype and analyze the numbers

PPG    

Emeka    19.1
Dwight     14.6
This was supposed to be the category that Dwight Howard was going to have a huge advantage in this season. The word was that Dwight Howard was going to impress us with Shaq in his prime type of numbers, unfortunately for him, that hasn't happened. At some point Dwight is going to have to develop a true back to the basket low post game instead of relying on pure athleticism ( as insane as his athleticism may be ) if he wants to develop into the player that everyone wants him to be. The summer Following Emeka's rookie year, he attended Hakeem Olajuwon's big man camp. For the first 25 games of last season Emeka trying to emulate Hakeem's graceful offensive moves was an unholy site, this year thankfully he has come to the realization that he needs to play his own game and not somebody else's.

This is a quote from Brevin Knight following Friday night's loss to the Sonics.

We win one game, we play well in another, and we think we've arrived. … We don't have stars on this team. We don't have anything. We need to work hard if we're ever going to win.

My question is which Bobcats player is getting under Brevin's skin ?

• Can't be Emeka, hes playing his ass off. In fact, through the first 5 games of the season Emeka is averaging 17.4 ppg, 11.6 rpg and blocking 3.6 shots per game. (Chew on those numbers Dwight Howard)
• Could be Raymond. Even though he didn't play in that game because of the rib injury he has been vocal in his playoff predictions for this season.
• It could possibly be Adam pMorrison. I could see how Brevin could be jealous of the hype that Adam brought when he came to the team, plus as soon as Adam gets adjusted to the NBA, BK will be sent to the bench.
• Sean May possibly, The problem with that is Sean May's role isn't getting enough minutes to cause those kind of problems on the court.
• Crash??? If there were some heat between Brevin and Gerald Wallace, that would be interesting, but not playing hard enough has never been Gerald's problem.
  

If anyone has any deeper insight into this, I'd love to hear it.

Charlotte Bobcats fans are ready to see their #3 draft pick in the starting lineup for a number of reasons.

• In his first 2 games, Adam is averaging 17.5 ppg, 46.4 fg% and 40% from three point range
• Brevin Knight starting at PG forces Raymond Felton to play out of position at SG. Getting Adam into the starting lineup allows Raymond to slide back over to his natural position of PG where he is way more effective
• The Brevin Knight / Raymond Felton backcourt is too small. 5'10" and 6'2" isn't going to get it done defensively as Mike Miller of the Grizzlies clearly showed last  night when he ate our backcout up in the fourth quarter.

This is Coach Bickerstaff's take on the situation:

Charlotte Observer  

Bernie Bickerstaff has an answer for those fans clamoring for Adam Morrison to replace Brevin Knight as a starter.

"Why would they bring Brevin up when Brevin has been our best basketball player, instead of Raymond?" Bickerstaff said, referring to Raymond Felton.

"Here's the bottom line: Morrison hasn't earned it. It's the same way as when Raymond came along last season (starting the second half of the season). Eventually, he earned it."

Opinions?
