If you had any question how well liked young Stephen Curry is in the Queen City, then that was certainly answered tonight. Returning home to Charlotte as a Golden State Warrior, the rookie received a standing ovation in player introductions and was cheered nearly every time he touched the ball. However, Gerald Wallace, DJ Augustin, and Boris Diaw helped the Charlotte Bobcats ruin his trip home, winning 101-90.

Nights like tonight are when I remind myself why I suffer through losing streaks, ownership issues, bad tv deals, and all the other problems of being a Charlotte Bobcats fan. Being a Bobcats fan means all that, but it also means an annual win or two against the Kobe Bryant-led Los Angeles Lakers, in front of a packed house sprinkled with fair-weather Kobe-lovers, Ric Flair, Bob Johnson, and MJ himself. Tonight was no different, and Gerald Wallace, Stephen Jackson and crew led the Bobcats to a win, 98-83.

The veteran center from the Spurs will help shore up an injured frontcourt for the playoff push.

The Bobcats have traded for troubled but talented power forward Tyrus Thomas of the Bulls in exchange for Flip Murray, Acie Law, and a future draft pick.

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.

Last night, your Charlotte Bobcats took on the San Antonio Spurs, who coming into this game were 5-0 in Charlotte and 10-1 all time against the ‘Cats. But, by the end of the night, that would change.

TooCool here, how you all hanging. Hope you’ve enjoyed beating Miami and Cleveland as much as I have, and on the ROAD too. Anyway, let’s get down to business.
I’m here to talk about our rookies.
Let me just start off by saying that I love Hendo. He’s a great player, professional and hard working. He has a great work ethic and he is a freakish athlete. He reminds me of a Crash, not as big or with the mouthpiece hanging out, but as an electrifying player. We’ve all seen flashes of …

Sup everybody, BETCATS checking back in. If you are reading this, i would like to wish you a happy holiday season. At the time i wrote my last piece for the site, the Bobcats were struggling. A lot of us were panicking and we were all starting to think maybe the playoffs are out of reach. The faith in our team to get the job done was questionable. We then went on a little win streak, and everyone was satisfied temporarily. But that was then.
Fast forward to today, the Bobcats are …

When you move quicker than your opponent, basically in anything, you’re going to win.  I think that’s the best attempt I’ve ever had at a Sun Tzu quote that I made up on the fly.  I’m sure that might be in one of the Zig Ziglar books my Dad gave me or maybe a Tony Robbins tape he gave me (seriously, I no longer possess a tape deck, younguns, ask Ziggy what a tape is).  This thought came to me as the Bobcats went to the locker room at halftime …

In about an hour, the Bobcats will start the 2009-2010 season in Boston.

Below is the infamous rookie card shoot that inadvertantly leaked the Bobcats new uniforms earlier than the organization would have liked.
In this video you get a real good look at the new home jerseys… I can’t wait to see what the away unis look like.

The newest Bobcat will be Gerald Henderson

Over the next few weeks we’ll be taking a look at players that the Charlotte Bobcats may draft at the #12 spot in this years draft.
Before we get started, I hope you don’t mind if I step off topic for just a moment to comment on the Clippers winning last night’s draft lottery. If there is a team in the league that deserves the #1 pick any less than them, then I’m not aware of it. They’ve been fixtures in the lottery just about every year since the Reagan administration …
