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

In a league and on a team historically parched for big men, Nazr Mohammed is showing his worth on offense, defense, and the budget.

Also, notes from pre-deadline trade rumors and All-Star Weekend

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 …

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.

The Bobcats coughed up a 16 point comeback to lose in overtime, 106-95

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.

Nazr Mohammed is a producer… Wow, who knew?
“Fat Bitch!” is being produced by NBA champion, Charlotte Bobcats Center, and Chicago native Nazr Mohammed, who Watson has known since elementary school, when they lived next door in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood (blocks from President Obama’s house). Autographed sports memorabilia from Mohammed (to be announced later; likely to include apparel and Bulls/Bobcats tickets) will be raffled off at each of the five “Fat Bitch!” shows to benefit organizations dealing with young people and self-esteem. Detailed bios are below.

Post-season just means after the season, doesn’t mean anything about playoffs so I’m just saying, I’m not upset the Bobcats didn’t make it, that’s all I’m saying ok?
I’ve been a little defensive as a fan lately.  I mentioned paying off my season tickets with my tax return, which I received in 6 days by the way.  My Dad said to me “Wow, that’s a lot of money to see someone lose.”  Don’t worry, he meant it as a joke because I had made fun of his awesome turkey neck minutes …

I found this little nugget via The Rocky Mount Telegram. Apparently Nazr Mohammed is really, really displeased with his lack of playing time under Coach Larry Brown. Nazr’s ultimatum:
A day after concluding a frustrating season where he never made it into coach Larry Brown’s rotation, the veteran center said he wants to play elsewhere in 2009-10 if his playing time doesn’t increase.
“It’s not something that I take lightly,” Mohammed said Thursday. “If I’m back here, I want to play. If that can’t be facilitated, I don’t want to be back.”
