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 Charlotte Bobcats vs. the LA Lakers 2/3/10
The Bobcats fumbled away an in-bounds pass with 9 seconds on the clock giving Jordon Farmar a dunk. Flip Murray then hit a long 3 pointer, (needed to tie the score when the Bobcats fumbled their inbound), ending the game with a (99-97) lose to the Lakers. Give the Lakers credit for intense defense against a team that had beaten them the last two visits to their building. The ‘Cats again were led by Stephen Jackson who was the …

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

and the Orlando Magic roll over and take it like champs.
Seriously, watching this series was like watching a lucky team vs. a good team. The Lakers and whatever you make of Kobe Bryant and his scowl were the dominant team, eventhough 2 games went to overtime and the Magic won one. I keep thinking of what could have been. I know Nike and the puppets wanted a Kobe/Lebron final but Lebron and the Lebronettes aren’t ready, and they’ll probably ship half the team to Phoenix to bring in that “super” …

The playoffs back in those years between local NBA franchises were kind of fun. The Hornets basically left town in 01-02, but that was my freshman year in college and anything cheap and different was awesome. We got in to 3 Playoff games that year for $5 each, sure we were sitting in the top of the cavernous old arena but it was fun (covered sections and all), one of our favorite local bands, Weekend Excusion, would play pre-game in the parking lot and like I said, $5!!! They won …

Listen, hey, hey, listen…the umm Charlotte Boobcats (get it? Boob?), listen, they pissed me off. But then they made me happy again. Yay, Bobcats! Man, how could you lose to the T-Wolves and Indy and Washington in the span of a week? I mean come on, serious, be real Bobcats. I’m not, I’m not, excited about writing a blog for a team that loses to those kinds of teams at this stage in the sea - shut up, sheason.
Ok, I started that yesterday at lunch as a joke but really, …

Phil Jackson, you will need all of your quote-unquote zen like abilities to turn Adam Morrison into an NBA caliber player.
A couple of issues right off the bat.
In the video below Phil mentions that Adam is a good spot up shooter. Good spot up shooters don’t miss 64% of their shots.
Adam has confidence issues. Can a player who hangs his head after every missed shot ( and there are plenty of them ) survive with his sanity intact around someone as maniacally demanding as Kobe? Doubtful.
From a defensive …

It was a great win last night by the Bobcats. Raymond Felton was one assist away from a triple double, Boris Diaw was one assist and one rebound away from a triple double and the Bobcats defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in double OT.
In all honesty, the Bobcats could have punched the Lakers ticket in regulation if they could have connected on their free throws or if Andrew Bynum didn’t have a WWE moment, slamming his elbow into Gerald Wallace’s ribcage.
There is no question that this was a clear …

Last night the Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on their home court 108-95. Jason Richardson lit up the Lakers for 34 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Matt Carroll helped out with 18 points and Emeka Okafor arose from the dead with 11 points and 11 boards. The icing on the cake was seeing Kobe lose his cool and get kicked out of the game
It was a fun night… unless of course you are a Laker fan. …

Here’s a crazy headline for you, pulled from today’s Charlotte Observer: “FT Shooting Leads to Win.” Before last night, I’d have lumped that with “UN Solves Crisis” as two headlines I’d be least likely to see in my lifetime. But it’s true; we hit 22-of-28 foul shots to break a losing streak I’ve long since lost count of. And in fact, ESPN.com posted a similarly impossible-to-believe headline of its own from last night’s OT-win over Atlanta: “McInnis Hits Hook as Cats Rally.” Superb foul shooting? A game-winning shot from Jeff …

Last night in the third quarter of the preseason game versus the Lakers, Adam Morrison went down with what was initially diagnosed as a left knee sprain. TAccording to those at the scene however it may be significantly worse:
Charlotte Observer
Morrison immediately crumpled to the floor, grabbing his knee in
severe pain. Coach Sam Vincent said Morrison felt a “popping’’
sensation in the joint.
“I knew it was no good – that wasn’t just a sprain,’’ said Walton. “I said a prayer for him. That looked really, really bad.’’
Morrison
was scheduled for an X-ray last …

“What was going on last night?” My wife asked me this morning, “I kept hearing you scream something about ‘the mamba.’” Indeed, last night illustrated exactly why I could never be a sports announcer. With 9 seconds left in regulation, the Bobcats up three points, and the Lakers in-bounding, here’s how it would have sounded if my comments had been on the air: “Watch the mamba, watch the mamba, NOT THE MAMBA…(Bad word, screamed repeatedly)!!!”
In this morning’s Charlotte Observer, Rick Bonnell wrote that Kobe Bryant “forced overtime by hitting …
