Posted by on Jan 25, 2007 in Brevin Knight, Primoz Brezec | 0 comments

In our forum , we've been gathering a list of 100 things that we've learned about the Bobcats in the past year.  Below we have the first 50. Read and enjoy.

1. Bernie should be fired as coach.
2. Bernie loves "his guys"
3. Kareem Rush acted and played like a bitch.
4. Bernie hates rookies
5. Bob Johnson is cheap
6. That the bobcats show what you can do with lots of hustle and hard work, even though your inexperienced
7. that the bobcats forgot the above sentence this year.
8. We wont get respect(or foul calls), so we gotta somehow earn it
9. We draft good
10. Emeka offensive game is coming along nicely
11. Ray Felton plays better when BK is injured.
12. Sean May isn't the illegitmate love-child of Fred "Rerun" Berry and Fat Albert, He is actually a legitimate NBA baller with some serious game.
13. Adam Morrison is a scorer NOT a pure shooter.
14. Michael Jordan will not do anything for us.
15. Any FA's we pick up are useless.
16. The cats have one of the best arenas
17. We not only draft well, we EXPANSION draft well. (Wallace, Knight, Brezec; we also had Zaza Pachulia, Jason Hart, Eddie House, and Keith Bogans)
18. We have the best identity of players: Stasche, Crash, etc
19. Gerald Wallace seems to shoot all of his jumpers off balance.
20. A Bobcats player has never scored more than 41(Gerald Wallace), grabbed rebound more than 19(Emeka Okafor-twice), dished assist more than 20(Brevin Knight-twice), blocked shots more than 8(Emeka Okafor) and stole the ball more than 8(Gerald Wallace) in a match.
21. Primoz Brezec has no long term future with this team.
22. May does not get enough minutes.
23. J.B. is a waste
24. The Bobcats need an "Enforcer", somebody who is ready, willing and able to knock another player on his ass.
25. Matt Carroll is a way better player than we all thought that he was coming into this season.
26. This site has moved ahead of realgm as the best Bobcats talk on the web
27. Bernard Robinson has no jump shot. His whole game is driving to the basket out of control with that goofy spin moove.
28. When Brevin Knight runs the point, he holds the ball too long before getting the team into their offense.
29. In response to 28, Brevin makes sure to dish to the players that will be more certain not to cut into his minutes due to their play.
30. Bernie should coach the Knicks. They need someone to start it from scratch.
31. We have the weakest coaching staff in the league with Bernie Bickerstaff, JB Bickerstaff and Jeff Capel.

38. When any trade rumors come about, we adamantly deny any of them.
39. We will not trade any players, unless it's for minimal value and no use to the team.
40. Sean May's midrange jumper is reliable.
41. None of our other big men should even think about taking a jumpshot.
42. We have extreme difficulty making perimeter shots.
43. We foul way too often.
44. We have the coolest Argentinia basketball player in the world (Walt)
45. We have a turkey starting at center (Primoz)
46. we will get a lottery pick every single year

The Charlotte Bobcats offseason “To Do” list

Posted by on Apr 7, 2006 in Bernie Bickerstaff, Emeka Okafor, Gerald Wallace, Matt Carroll, Primoz Brezec, Raymond Felton, Sean May | 0 comments

To make Bernie Bickerstaff’s job easier for him and because I’m such a nice guy, ;-)   I went ahead and made out an offseason “To Do” list for several members of the Charlotte Bobcats. By following the action items on this list, the Bobcats should come back stronger in 2006-2007 and actually challenge for the #8 spot in the East.

Emeka Okafor – Get closer to your college playing weight, 275 pounds is too much for your frame and in all likelihood was a major contributor to the ankle injuries that plagued you all season. Improve your low post offense skills, 40% shooting for somebody who is going to hold down the power forward spot simply isn’t going to cut it.
Gerald Wallace – Work on your perimeter offense, If the Bobcats draft Adam Morrison or Rudy Gay then you may be bumped over to shooting guard, so get your game ready just in case.
Raymond Felton – Nothing… Continue to do what you do. Your progress over the course of your rookie season showed that you may very well be this team’s first All-Star.
Brevin Knight – Get used to receiving  backup point guard minutes or else work out a deal for a trade. This is now Raymond Felton’s team.
Primoz Brezec – for God’s sake, learn to play a little defense. Just once, for kicks try blocking a shot or popping somebody with a forearm. If you’re not familiar with the concept then check out NBA-TV for examples.
Sean May – Stay out of Dairy Queen, Avoid Krispy Kreme at all costs. Spend your offseason getting into legitimate NBA shape, then come back next season to prove that you can do the same things at the NBA level that you used to do for the Tarheels.
Matt Carroll – Each night at bedtime, Pray for  coach that will give you some consistent minutes.
And last but not least…
Bernie Bickerstaff – Set up a news conference to announce that you plan to resign as head coach and begin to lead the search for your replacement.
