Bobcats lose to whoever the hell they played 

It’s 10:30 Monday morning and I feel like I was run over by a truck.  BigCat’s tip of the day:  If you’re going to try and go all day sports, bring some water and eat your bananas.  Don’t drink beer all day long.  It’s a bad idea.  Especially if you’re expected to do a blog on the Bobcats game.   
Orlando wore us out down the stretch.  Really nice spark going into halftime for the ‘Cats …

Super Man vs. Not Super Man 
Walking out of the arena on Friday night I was asked by the guy who sits behind me every game for the last 2 years, “You feel like doing the double dip on Sunday?”  Whoa, I hadn’t thought about that.  Sundays are a day of rest, usually.   
Tomorrow will be a huge long day, even if I didn’t go to the Panthers game (as was the case Friday night); it would be a big sports day.  I’ll be …

Tonight at 7pm the Bobcats travel to Orlando to face Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic.

Orlando is currently sitting comfortably on top of the Southeast division with a 20-11 record with a three game lead over their closest competitor the Atlanta Hawks…. Yep, the Hawks. The Bobcats on the other hand have fallen to 10-17 and 13th in the Eastern conference following last night’s loss against the New Orleans Hornets.

 

There are a few things that concern me in tonight’s game

The Bobcats are 0-5 in the second game of back to …

Okay, quick test. In his essential-reading weekly column, “Monday Morning Quarterback,” CNNSI.com’s Peter King had this item in his “Things I Think I Think” section:
“a. Craig Biggio has some Tom Brady in him. Same kind of superstar — accessible, team-first, thoughtful.”
After reading this, is your first thought: a) Great comparison, they’re both old-school competitors who just want to win but are also very down to earth and “team-first,” as King pointed out.
Or is it: b) So, apparently, does Gisele Bundchen.
I’ll admit it was (b) for me, …

The Magic had revenge on their minds Friday night after (and how weird does this sound) the Bobcats humiliated them a few weeks ago on national television. Okay, Emeka Okafor, you’re going up against that Jolly African American Giant, Dwight Howard, so it’s imperative you box him out, not let him get off to a head start, and…not IMMEDIATELY get two fouls and head straight to the bench for the rest of the first quarter. Whoa boy. After Okafor collected his second personal only a few minutes into the game, …

Why wait 15 or 20 years for a natural rival to create itself? If we wait until then, we'll be forced to get hyped up over the shleprocks of the league like the Atlanta Hawks or the New York Knicks.
So today, I propose that we skip over the tedious process of "naturally" creating a hated rival and name one today.
My suggestion is The Orlando Magic. The Magic and the Bobcats are both young and in the same division, so they'll likely be butting …
