Sometimes you dig a hole so deep that no matter how you fight, you simply can’t climb your way out of it.
The Charlotte Bobcats found themselves in exactly that type of situation on Saturday night. In the first half  the Bobcats allowed the Bucks to repeatedly knock down shots from the perimeter and allowed Andrew Bogut to get anything that he wanted in the paint. That first half from a Bobcats fan’s perspective was very disturbing ( a little like this ) and what it led to was a 54-39 …

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.

Worst Scoring Team in the Whole NBA?! 
I can see it if I was a coach.   Charging into the locker room, throwing things, knocking stuff over.  “You guys can’t buy 90 points.  Forget a HUNDRED!  Sure you’ve done it what once, twice this year?  So what?  Our leading scorer is out with a knee injury?  So what?  You guys haven’t picked up any of his points.  Gerald, with Jason out I would expect you to take over for him as leading scorer on this …

Notes from Friday night’s loss to the Hawks and my brief attempt at a pregame to the home game tonight against the Bucks: 
Brief thoughts when I realized I’m far too drunk to make a good analysis about the damn Hawks and their stupid young talented group of players, none of whom I like.  PS, I type extremely well drunk and sarcasm is increased by 125%.
-With Defense we’ll definitely be back in this game.  I love you Steph, I want to kiss you, I …

Maybe laying waste to the Bucks is a little strong, but we did get a 102-99 win despite missing 21 of 43 free throws.

“Whenever you can win a game shooting 50-percent on free throws and
missing so many down the stretch, you have to have luck on your side,”
said Vincent, who guided the fourth-year franchise to its first
season-opening victory in his NBA head coaching debut.

The Bobcats certainly got good fortune as Milwaukee All-Star
Michael Redd scored only four of his team-high 21 points after halftime
and Bucks guard Mo Williams forgot …

Saturday night’s telecast opened with a strange sight: Andrew Bogut standing at center court with a microphone—was it Karaoke Night at the Bradley Center?  Nope, turned out the Bucks players were just taking a moment to thank the fans for their support.  Mo Williams took the mic next, and he must have left his speech notes in the locker room, because he simply giggly promised repeatedly that the team would win “soooo many games next year,” although he didn’t attempt to quantify his prediction.  It was a perfect mood setter for …

"The one thing I'm impressed with the coaches and the players is the professionalism in how they practice and how they play,'' Coach Bernie Bickerstaff said after Tuesday’s win over Atlanta.  I love it when pros praise each other for their “professionalism.”  With that in mind, the Bobcats made an evening appointment with a Milwaukee-based firm on Saturday, and took care of business, making the Bucks feel about as welcome as Michael Ray Richardson at a bar mitzvah. Milwaukee, having long since decided to liquidate their FY 06-07 operations, were playing …

Last night’s Charlotte-Milwaukee game had something in it for everyone: 1) a win for the winners, 2) the third-worst record for the losers. The Bobcats chose Door #2, and we’ll see what our Mystery Surprise is come draft day. Plus, the good news is I’m positive we’re not tanking these games down the stretch—we really are this bad, and our conscience will be clean when we get that high pick.
Then again, we put the Bucks on the line 20 times in the 4th quarter to blow a 6-point lead …

Well, it finally happened: I missed my first Bobcats game of the year. News14 didn’t cover the game, and NBA League Pass didn’t either. In fact I’m not sure if anyone did, because even the highlight package on NBA TV Daily looked like a bootleg copy of someone’s home video. But if you’re going to have to miss a game, this would be the one to do it. Failing to defeat a Bucks team that doesn’t even have Michael Redd, Mo Williams, Charlie Villanueva, and Bobby Simmons (not to mention …
