If you had any question how well liked young Stephen Curry is in the Queen City, then that was certainly answered tonight. Returning home to Charlotte as a Golden State Warrior, the rookie received a standing ovation in player introductions and was cheered nearly every time he touched the ball. However, Gerald Wallace, DJ Augustin, and Boris Diaw helped the Charlotte Bobcats ruin his trip home, winning 101-90.

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.

What an eventful 24 hours for Bobcats fans. First, Captain Jack and crew won an exciting, hard fought game over a young Memphis Grizzlies squad 93-89. Then, in the early morning hours we found out that UNC and NBA legend and current co-owner Michael Jordan will become the next controlling owner of the Bobcats, succeeding Robert Johnson.

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

Last night, your Charlotte Bobcats took on the San Antonio Spurs, who coming into this game were 5-0 in Charlotte and 10-1 all time against the ‘Cats. But, by the end of the night, that would change.

This is an open invitation to all Carolina Panthers fans. There IS a playoff team in Charlotte this year, and they play in Bobcats Arena.
Still hesitant about making the jump, feel like you’re turning your back on the Panthers? Don’t think of it that way, you’re not abandoning them, your just… re-prioritizing them. Moving them down the food chain a little and moving the Bobcats up to their slot. If you want to look at this in pimpsmanship terms you’re making a few adjustments so that The Bobcats are your …

After a disappointing loss in Oklahoma City, the Bobcats were home last night to face the Milwaukee Bucks, who they are battling for playoff position. This would be the final game played at Time Warner Cable Arena this decade (the Bobcats play one more game before New Year’s, but that’s in Toronto), and the Bobcats didn’t disappoint.

Tuesday night’s loss was ugly to watch if you’re a Bobcats fan. In an 82 game season, all teams have a couple of nights where the effort just isn’t there. This game was puzzling though,  the lack of effort came directly on the heels of a 4 game winning streak where the Bobcats had played their best ball of the season and seemed to be on the cusp of “figuring it out”.
Via the Charlotte Observer, there were two quotes that jumped out at me:
Brown called a timeout less than two …

“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value”  - Thomas Paine
In an 82 game …

Hey guys, TooCool here with my first blog post. Hope you all enjoy it, and that I don’t bore you to death.
Defence to the Bobcats and our beloved coaching staff can be summed up in a single quote. “Larry Brown teaches, preaches, and even craps defence” – Along13. Defence is what makes the world go round, for Larry Brown anyway. Defence doesn’t revolve around the players. It revolves around Larry Brown’s head. They say that Defence wins championships. That statement is completely true. Without being able to get stops on …

In our forum in this thread, long time BCP members TheBeagle and BRNC gave their early season thoughts on Larry Brown. They both raise several excellent questions about LB’s performance so far this season.
What are your thoughts on their thoughts?
TheBeagle
To allude to the thread heading, it’s no secret that Larry has been in my doghouse this season. He pronounces these tenants of “Playing the Right Way” to the point that the marketing wing of the franchise has adopted it to sell seats, and sadly, both are failing. Of the qualities …

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 …

Updates from the first three preseason games, why you can’t listen to the games online at WFNZ.com, and more!

Welcome to Michael’s Minute, where BCP checks in with Bobcats Director of Corporate Communications Michael Thompson. We’ll be doing this regularly throughout the season. Today we get into Larry Brown, the TV Situation, the possible sale of the team, and more.

The Charlotte Bobcats news feed is sort of sparking up, yeah…a buzz is happening this week. Dog days of summer and all of a sudden hey now, Bobcats. It’s on the heels of a few Tweets, twits, I swear, somebody tell me what to call those things. I don’t get on twitter.com. It’s interesting because these guys are breaking their own stories. AI says “Charlotte, New York, Miami” and the world breaks loose. Then he says something about he’s not worried about the money, …
