By Observer Sports I think years from now we'll remember 2009 as one of the Charlotte Bobcats' better drafts. I'm not saying Gerald Henderson and Derrick Brown are great players -- they're not. But considering where the Bobcats picked -- 12th (Henderson) and...

By Observer Sports I can't say I'm surprised Rashad McCants signed with the Houston Rockets, despite his obvious interest in being a Charlotte Bobcat. McCants needs a place to land that keeps him in the NBA. And while the Bobcats can always use...

The Bobcats' on-and-off flirtation with Allen Iverson ended when the long-time All-Star signed with Memphis, the team that made him the largest financial offer on a one-year deal. It's unclear whether the Bobcats ever made a true offer, but Brown made it clear the team would have had to ma...

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) The Bobcats always give the Celtics problems. This was a close one but Pierce willed the Celtics to a win. Tough one for the Bobcats fans at the end. At least there weren't endless posts on how the refs stole the game and how they need to fire their coach.

By www.sltrib.com(noreply@blogger.com) Ronnie Price, Brevin Knight and Ronnie Brewer had an excruciatingly difficult time keeping Charlotte point guards Raymond Felton and D.J. Augustin away from the basket. Felton and Augustin shot 14 free throws, including 12 in the fourth quarter.

By David Friedman(noreply@blogger.com) LeBron James nearly had a triple double (22 points, nine rebounds, nine assists) in just 30 minutes of action as the Cleveland Cavaliers improved to 1-1 by winning their home opener versus the Charlotte Bobcats, 96-79. Daniel Gibson scored a game-high 25 points, shooting 10-14 from the field; if he had not uncharacteristically missed three straight free throws in the fourth quarter after being fouled on a three point shot then he could have matched or exceeded his regular season career-high of 26 points. Mo Williams contributed 17 points, seven assists and four rebounds while only committing one turnover. Ben Wallace was a major force in the paint with 10 rebounds and five blocked shots. Jason Richardson led Charlotte with 24 points. Ada...   [read the full post]

By Will Brinson After all, they passed on Adam Morrison and Sean May and ... oh crap. No they didn't. But they are still loaded. All they need is a legitimate NBA center (Emeka Okafor can shift to the four) and a GM/Prez who doesn't want to draft Carolina players and they'll be set. Good thing Tyler Hansbrough won't b...

By J.E. Skeets Gerald Wallace (assuming he's healthy) has to be able to full overcome Kirilenko-itis and take to the small forward spot. Jason Richardson can't be expected to nail 40 percent of those three-pointers again, but 37 percent and a near-80 mark at the line would be heaps better. Emeka Okafor (a...

Rick Bonnell tells us the Charlotte Bobcats had the worst shooting percentage in the NBA, at 71.4%, and missed 605 free throws last year. I bet this is the kind of thing Sam Vincent thinks about sometimes. Either way, I'm sure Larry Brown would love for Emeka Okafor to improve his free throw sho...

I have admitted that I am an unabashed Wallace fan, but I have also noted that his play this past season was not at the level it had been in previous years, all ground covered in his season review post from a couple of weeks ago. Wallace was out during the 5 game winning streak in February, which s...

Emeka Okafor had his finest season as a pro in 2006-2007, despite losing 15 games to injury. He was a monster on the defensive end, blocking 2.6 a game and rejecting as many as 10 shots in a game, and only going without a block in 10 games. Though he was never going to be as physically dominant as fel...

The Charlotte Bobcats are undefeated. Boston might be the (potential) City of Champions. But since the Carolina Panthers are 4-3, Charlotte is the City of Teams One Game Above .500.

Notes Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace will become an unrestricted free agent Sunday after deciding not to extend his contract for another season.

By Serena Hays That being said, bench players are critical to any team. The Bobcats are lucky to have bench players that fit so well with the make up of the team and are able to compliment the starters. Tomorrow the Bobcats host the Atlanta Hawks, and Emeka Okafor is scheduled to play. Wallace and Felton are du...

By Serena Hays Man these west coast games kill me, I just can’t stay up and watch them! Over the past 2 nights the Bobcats have battled the Sacramento Kings and the Portland Trailblazers. Gerald Wallace has made it through all of the games with a strained groin so far, playing through the pain like a champ. Em...

By Serena Hays It has been brought to my attention that rumors are circulating that Bernie Bickerstaff’s position with the Bobcats may be in jeopardy. His original plan was to coach the team in the early years until they were competetive, then hire a new coach to take his place so he could be the full-time G...

By Serena Hays So here’s the reason for their struggles: Brevin Knight. I did some math and counting. This season the Bobcats are 12-17 without Brevin Knight. When Brevin is on the court, they are 6-16. Wow. The Bobcats have TWICE as many wins without him as with him. Have I not been saying since the beginning of t...

By Serena Hays Even though I previously mentioned a lineup issue, the loss was not because Bernie screwed up. The Bobcats lost because they had 27 turnovers, of which Houston scored 30 points. 27 turnovers! I tried to look it up but couldn’t find anything, that has to be some sort of record. Seriously. That is...

By Serena Hays On a side note, Rufus Lynx turned 1 today! Happy Birthday Rufus! Brevin Knight made his return from a torn abdominal muscle today as the Bobcats hosted the Portland Trailblazers, but it didn’t seem to do much for the Bobcats as they lost 108-100 in overtime. This forced Raymond Felton to pla...

By Serena Hays Think about this: Adam Morrison played the most minutes last night with 39. Granted, he was having a good night, but why does he have more minutes than Emeka (30), Gerald (31), and Felton (28)? Emeka, Gerald, and Felton need to be on the court as much as they possibly can in order for the team to...
