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

Well, it had to happen sometime. I suppose it was slightly unrealistic for us Bobcats fans to assume that the ‘Cats were going to breeze through the remaining 42 games of the schedule beating each and every one of their opponents by 40+ points all while setting a dozen or so team records each and every game. Since that didn’t quite happen, we’ll look at what  occurred tonight as a one game bump in the road, just a tiny hiccup on the way to our first ever trip to the …

Stephen Jackson has been a victim of being typecast. After being involved in the “Malice at the Palace” the news stories seemed to write themselves. Words like “thug”, “clown” and “classless” were thrown around quite liberally. That story is what most of the casual sports fans accepted as fact. That’s not what I saw.
I saw a guy that was a teammate first and a businessman second. Jackson put his paycheck on the line in order to have his team’s back. The majority of the players stayed right in their seats …

Here is a cool little Youtube  video where Raymond Felton ( along with Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant) talks about ball handling.

Enjoy!

At first glance Terrence Williams seems like he would be a perfect pick at #12 for the Bobcats in the upcoming draft. The  Bobcats are looking at SG depth to backup or challenge Raja Bell, Williams has legit SG size at 6′6″ & 1/4 in shoes, he plays excellent defense, he fills out the stat sheet and as you can see from the video below, he is an elite athlete.

The big negative that jumps out at me with T-Will is his shooting. He shot 43.1% from the field last season …

After watching this season, and listening to some very rare compliments from the veteran coach who is generally ruthless with his point guards, it is hard to think that Ray isn’t this team’s Point man for the forseeable future. This is not only based on his play, but the way Augustin was used as well.

Rumors have been flying around that any of the Bobcats (with the exception of Jason Richardson) could potentially be moved before the start of the season. With that being said, if Ray was going to be dealt then one of the biggest needs for this team is a mobile power forward to chase the super athletic Chris Bosh types of the world on the defensive end of the court. I know what some of you are thinking, isn’t that Emeka Okafor? Not exactly, We’ve come to the conclusion that Emeka …

One thing that you can see from this video is that nobody can stay in front of him he when he wants to drive to the basket. When you watch the video, you'll see that theres a lot of Tony Parker in Raymond's game with a touch of Kevin Johnson thrown in for good measure.

Recently Bernie Bickerstaff said that this was Brevin Knight’s team and its up to Brevin to decide when he wants to step down or be traded. As far as playing time, anybody that has seen Raymond Felton play at all over the past two months can see clearly that this team performs at a higher level with him running the point. With Felton running the show, they play a more uptempo pace thats clearly more suited to the Bobcats roster. I have a hard time understanding in this situation, why …

In our forums we’ve had an ongoing debate on whether Chris Paul is really any better than Raymond Felton . Yeah, I know that CP3 is your runaway favorite to be the 2006 rookie of the year, hes everybody’s media darling, solid citizen, everybody loves him, blah blah blah, but lets look at it a little more closely. As always, numbers don’t lie. {mosgoogle} Games which they’ve played more than 35 minutes: Felton 16.7 points, 6.6 assists, 5.1 rebounds 46%FG …

With the way that this season is turning out, there aren’t a whole lot of positives to talk about. Even though we’re only half way through the season, this year is basically shot. There have been so many injuries that its been very difficult to achieve any continuity or evaluate the progress of many of the players. To this point in the season, the are a few things that we HAVE learned.
One is that it appears that Raymond Felton will be a legitimate NBA point guard, I still wish …

Its time to go ahead and give Raymond the starting point guard position. Yes, at this point in time Brevin Knight is the superior player, but Felton is not going to develop as a pro point guard and as the future floor general of this team getting a few minutes here and there backing up Brevin or minutes at shooting guard.
As noble as it is to give Brevin the minutes because for now he is giving the team the best chance to win now, The Charlotte Bobcats are not a …
