Tonight’s game was brought to you by the Bobcats bench. Only one starter, Raymond Felton, played for as many as thirty minutes tonight as Coach Larry Brown got his starters some much needed rest before the play-offs. Seven ‘Cats players scored in double figures and three of those came in from the bench. Gerald Henderson, 14 points, Tyrus Thomas, 13 points, and DJ Augustine with 11 points made resting the starters a possibility for Coach Brown. Tyson Chandler, 7 points, and Stephen Graham, 5 points, rounded out the solid offensive …

Why is it that we are the only team in the NBA capable of making the 4-infinity 5-infinity New Jersey Nets look like the showtime Lakers??? I don’t understand it and the longer I think about it, the more it makes my head hurt. How does this hot garbage happen to us?
Maybe it’s Brook Lopez …

Apparently there was some loudmouth (ummm that would be me) on BobcatsPlanet that proclaimed that if the sorry assed Nets beat the Bobcats tonight then they would turn BobcatsPlanet into NetsPlanet for 24 hours. Well…. heh heh heh what do you know, Those ingrates managed to step up and get a win against the Cats tonight leaving me and the rest of the BCP faithful having to subject ourselves to the  taunts and ridicule of New Jersey Nets fans.
Well we’re all men here ( although we still have our doubts …

Not the Bobcats. They scored just 79 points monday night against the Nets, but still managed to walk away with an 11 point win. This game was not pretty to watch ( The Bobcats had a 10 point first quarter… The Nets trumped that with a 7 point third ) but a win is a win is a win. And 2-2 feels a lot better than 1-3.
DJ Augustin was large this game with 21 points and 3 steals off the bench. Gerald Wallace was a grown man with 24 points …

Last night on the road against the New Jersey Nets, the Bobcats lost their 3rd straight and 4th out of their last 5 games.  It was an intersting game for a couple of reasons: Brook Lopez lost his mind and almost put up a 20/20 game and  Larry Brown gave heavy minutes to many of his bench players.  Linkage below.
The Charlotte Observer
“It was us coming through at the right time,” said Hayes, who finished with 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including a perfect 3-for-3 from long range. “We wanted to …

Turning Point  
Bobcats win in New Jersey on game one of a home and home series. 
The Charlotte Bobcats held Devin Harris in check, allowing possibly the hottest player not named Lebron or Kobe in the league to 14 points on 4 of 15 shooting.  This is game one of a back to back series against the New Jersey Nets; tonight the same teams face off in Charlotte.  The ‘Cats are 4-1 out of their last 5 games, scoring back-to-back victories for the 3rd …

Bad news, everyone: according to a recent CBS News/New York Times poll, 81 percent of respondents believe that when it comes to the Bobcats, “things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track.”  Oh hold on, I read that wrong.  Sorry, they were the talking about the country, not the Bobcats.  Never mind then, that’s not nearly as important.  That’s an odd way of wording that survey, though.  “Things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track”?  It’s a bit cluttered—makes me wonder what the other options were …

In the aftermath of another joyless loss on Saturday that explored new depths of meaninglessness, there’s only one thing that will make me feel better: skewering Shawn Marion. Bashing him is like my blog comfort food, especially without McInnis and Primoz to kick around anymore. But before I get started, did anyone else notice the “repetition”-themed series between Atlanta and Philly? Check it out: they played twice (home-and-home), and the games featured 2 Andre’s, 2 Josh’s, 2 Smith’s, 2 Williams’, and 2 Za’s. I had to bust out Jay’s “22 …

Fans of the Charlotte Bobcats are quickly becoming very disgruntled with the goofy lineups , bizarre shot distribution (last night Emeka Okafor only gets 2 shots in 35 minutes ?????) and mounting losses that are piling up under new Coach Sam Vincent. This was supposed to be the season that we contended for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but following a 6-4 start this team has collapsed. The players look confused , the coach looks overmatched and the fans are not pleased. 

BobcatsPlanet member WvsMC speaks …

The last two matchups have played out like a game of Doom, with the Bobcats blasting Miami and then getting blasted by Atlanta.  The Heat game on Tuesday made for a pleasurable companion piece to our earlier victory over them this season, a sort of Kill Heat, Vol. 2.  I guess that made Gerald Wallace the Bride, as he slashed Miami for 19 points, 7 boards, and a jaw-dropping block on Shaquille O’Neal that really iced things.   In general, though, the Heat finished themselves off with a 38.5 field goal …

Charlotte Observer - Primoz Brezed returns to the Bobcats following some family issues that needed to be taken care of. Coach Sam Vincent has no plans to rush him back

Vincent said it’s too soon to tell whether Brezec will be ready to contribute in
the Nov. 2 opener against the Milwaukee Bucks, but "I think he’ll be up to speed
sometime in November.”

Charlotte Observer - Rick Bonnell speaks out on Raymond Felton’s poor shooting.

Raymond Felton is shooting 4-of-16 combined in the first two exhibitions.
Remember, he took the most shots on this …

Sorry I didn’t get a chance to comment on Friday night’s game against the Sixers. I’m in a Forecasting class at school right now and I was working on an insanely difficult assignment–the handout for the project itself was 9 pages of single-spaced, 10-font instructions. I took this class ostensibly to help me predict things like market share but secretly to help me pick football games (in the final project we have to take a series of data sets—of our choosing—and use software to help us make predictions—hmmm, wonder what …

A raucous crowd of nearly 200 saw the Bobcats saw take on the Nets Wednesday night. I’ve seen larger crowds at cockfights, although I suppose you could chalk it up to the weather. The “modest” attendance had me wondering if sometime soon we’ll actually hear commentator Matt Devlin say things like, “Good seats are still available for upcoming games. In fact they’re still available for this very game. If you act now, you could probably get here by halftime.” Of course, this is based on the assumption that we’ll actually …
