 Then that alone is worth 6 or 7 wins by itself. Supposedly Sam was despised by the players, so much so that its rumored that they even locked him out the locker room at halftime of one of the games. As far as his coaching prowess, The man started Jeff McInnis at PG for the majority of the season… The discussion on Sam can end right there. Larry Brown has his faults, His NY Knicks / Isiah Thomas experience was unpleasant but its safe to say that LB has more coaching knowledge in his little finger than Fine Ham Biscuit has in his entire body.

Sadly, you won’t be surprised to learn Bobcat forward Sean May has a sore body part. But he does, and it’s causing him to miss Charlotte’s first official practices under new coach Sam Vincent.

Charlotte Observer Rookie Coach Sam Vincent asks the Bobcats to stop whining

Vincent ripped into his players Wednesday night for constantly second-guessing the referees during an intra-squad scrimmage. Vincent told them this complaining will stop, then backed up his point by making them do suicide drills.

Beastie Boys – Beasts on the boards, these guys pulled down the highest % of available defensive rebounds. They worked to “Sabotage” their opponents offense, by giving them as few opportunities as possible. The beasts include Derek Anderson, Crash, The Hammer, Primoz Brezec, and Raymond Felton. I have to say that this was one of the more surprising winners, as I really expected Emeka to be involved. Despite that, this lineup pulled down 83.3% of available defensive boards while spending 56 minutes together on the court.

BobcatsPlanet Forum Crash 2.0 – Gerald Wallace with 20 pounds of added muscle

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.
