As always, Ray is a class act. He could have scorched the earth Dan-Gilbert-Style, but he took the high road and praised his time with the Bobcats. We all wish him well in the Big apple playing for Mike Dantoni… It should be interesting.

To yesterdayeeeeee…….(cooleyhighharmony, y’all).

Raymond Felton, Ray-MOND Felton!  We will miss you, sir.
Nothing official at press time but it’s likely that the man from Latta, SC is likely bound elsewhere.  To me this is sad in a way.  Disappointing that after 5 years the Bobcats are so willing to depart with a solid point guard while we have no real options outside of DJ Augustin who has been serviceable but not quite what you’d expect to start on a (former?) playoff team.
Can you blame Raymond at this point for not signing to …

First things first this Gerald Wallace windmill dunk was a thing of beauty, check out the video below and enjoy it for yourself. I’ll wait…

See, now that was worth it, wasn’t it?
On to the game. Because of the Knicks’ up-tempo style it was a fun game to watch. Stephen Jackson, Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton combined for 11 steals. With the exception of some early hot perimeter shooting from Chris Duhon, those three tortured New York’s backcourt for the majority of the game. With all of the positives, the Bobcats …

The Charlotte Bobcats open things up tonight, what’s that? News just in to BCP, the Bobcats already played one game. Who knew? 58 points sounds like a women’s college score. Let’s just breathe though because this team is capable, what’s that? News just in to BCP, Raja Bell and Flip Murray are still out. This is getting scary.
The Knicks don’t present a tremendously daunting task. They have barely made an off-season move. I think athleticism wins out on the front line, with …

If the NBA draft lottery is fixed, what would be the results that would make David Stern the happiest? For this exercise we’ll focus on the teams 1 through 3.
Here we go.
1.  Oklahoma City Thunder - With the #1 pick this will allow the Thunder to draft (from their own backyard) Blake Griffin. Pairing Blake Griffin along with Kevin Durant solidifies their frontcourt (and their new fanbase) for the foreseeable future.

2.  New York Knicks - This will be the team that beats the long odds and moves way up the …

The Charlotte Bobcats defeated the New York Knicks Saturday night behind an ATD (almost triple-double) by Gerald Wallace (23 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists ). On a side note the Bobcats have to hold some sort of record for “almost triple doubles”. Gerald has been close several times this season, Raymond Felton had a few ATDs a couple of weeks back, Boris Diaw has been close multiple times since he was traded to the Bobcats this season. Its hard to believe that in this franchise’s history we have never had …

What the Hell just happened?
 
Did the New York Knicks just come into town and whoop the Bobcats ass?  I know Ziggy and I sort of centered on Nate ”Little People, Big World” Robinson.  We held him to what like 6 points?  2 of those were on last minute free throws.  How did the Bobcats lose the game?  The Knicks are horrible.  I am going to have to be honest here, I had a lot to drink tonight pre-game, gametime, post-game, 
That was last night .  I’m up and at work finally, believe it …

New Year’s Eve, Eve, sounds exciting but to a Bobcats fan, it’s not.  New York seems to have Charlotte’s number.  4 straight wins against Charlotte with the world’s biggest tiny bad attitude going for 20+ in 3 of those games.  Nate Robinson is the bane of my existence as a player in the NBA.  I don’t like the little guy plays hard and dunks attitude, because he tries to look like a bad-ass.  Mugsey Bogues and Spud Webb (both had awesome nicknames by the …

 Let’s all get a grip. No one is going to be giving us the next KG for Gerald or Matt. A trade for a big is something that needs to be done but that doesn’t mean we should take anything for some very valuable assets that we have. Eddy Curry is a guy who has infuriated the Knicks front office by reporting to camp well over 300 pounds after he was told to make sure he got in shape over the summer if he wanted to play in D’Antoni’s system. …

Queen City Hoops gives the usual excellent breakdown of last night’s win against the Hornets.
am going to be looking to see what happened, but somehow, with Adam Morrison on the court - the Hornets could not score. The Bobcats’ defensive efficiency with Ammo on the court: 69.2. Ridiculous. I’ll be interested to see if Adam had a hand in that or was just the beneficiary of some lucky matchups.

One thing that I have noticed myself since the beginning of the preseason is that Adam seems to be playing legitimate NBA …

I looked with great relief toward Saturday’s televised Summer League game with the Knicks, mostly because my ears were still ringing from the cacophonous mess or The Dark Knight, which I’d seen the night before.  By the way, anti-props go to the Charlotte Observer’s Lawrence Toppman for his review of the film.  I suppose it’s technically impossible to have a “wrong” opinion of something, but still, when Toppman writes that director Christopher Nolan “keeps the focus tight: All events take place in Gotham over a couple of months,” I can’t …

Gee, if only Bob Johnson was as loyal to his own basketball team as he seems to be to the Clinton Campaign. According to the Observer, Johnson’s pressuring Congressman Jim Clyburn and the Congressional Black Caucus to back Hillary Clinton to be Barack Obama’s Veep. That’s pretty ballsy considering just a few months ago Johnson was openly lampooning Obama as a worthless drug addict. Now he honestly expects favors from Obama? This is like me asking Tim Duncan for a million bucks. Wait, sorry, Johnson’s …

Well there’s some sad things known to man, but they ain’t too much sadder than the last game of the NBA regular season.  Goodbye, Bobcats, I’m going to M-I-S, S you much.  Just think, when we tipped off in November, aging ex-President Gerald Ford was remembered chiefly for his clutziness rather than as the wise and noble leader that he suddenly became once he died, global warming was a liberal conspiracy theory, Donald Rumsfeld was one of the most powerful people in the world, Tim Hardaway was presumed to have …

With a few minutes left in the Bobcats blowout victory over New York, commentator Matt Devlin asked sidekick Stephanie Ready, “Would you agree that this is the best Bobcats stretch in the team’s history?” Like there are a bunch to choose from! This 9-7 run is really the only Bobcats stretch in their history. Matt might as well have asked Stephanie if she agreed that the songs off the Tubthumper album were the best stretch in Chumbawamba’s history.
The Bobcats beat up on the Knicks Wednesday night, and the Charlotte …

On Friday the Bobcats returned to the site of their most arduous disaster (and that’s just describing the 3rd quarter) this season: Madison Square Garden. The Knicks have improved to the point that losing to them is no longer shameful, but they still have a “Bad News Bears” look about them: a comically tiny kid (Nate Robinson), a comically fat kid (Eddy Curry), an evil coach, etc. They’re also in the process of buying out Steve Francis, which would complete an epically, biblically horrible personnel move by Coach/GM/Supreme Chancellor/Sith Lord …
