that was more of a hypothetical question.

get me a decent PF and then we'll start talking. I just can't stand Diaw's up-and-down nature. He's soft too.

Hollinger says we're 93.8% to make the playoffs
http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NBA/Eastern/Southeast/Bobcats.html says we're 95.9%
and gives us the following odds to make them based on our record in the remaining 43 games
22-21 or better 100% 21-22............. 99.6% 20-23............. 97.9% 19-24............. 91.8% 18-25............. 77.8% 17-26............. 54.7% 16-27............. 29.3% 15-28............. 11.1% 14-29............. 2.8%
So we're looking good as long as don't completely fall off...we have a tough 6 game west coast trip coming up where we'll probably lose some ground, but look at our last 12 games
Wed, Mar 24 Minnesota Fri, Mar 26 Washington Mon, Mar 29 Toronto Wed, Mar 31 Philadelphia Fri, Apr 2 Milwaukee Sat, Apr 3 @ Chicago Tue, Apr 6 Atlanta Wed, Apr 7 @ New Orleans Fri, Apr 9 @ Houston Sat, Apr 10 Detroit Mon, Apr 12 @ New Jersey Wed, Apr 14 Chicago
No really good teams, and 8 home games...They finally got rid of that Jumper Classic this year that made us play nearly all of April on the road...If we're close to the 5th or 6th seed by the start of that stretch, you have to really, really, really like our chances
Still, these are the Bobcats, and we haven't had any major injuries yet (Wallace's sprain yesterday doesn't look that serious...I won't start feeling good about our chances until March at the earliest, but you have to like what you see so far.
D-Wade comes to town tomorrow night...get out to TWC. 1/19/2010 8:57:27 AM |

Wallace is playing tonight...it would take a shattered femur to keep him out at this point

A little bit of playoff success would be a nice shot in the arm for this team and would go a long way towards building some support for the team in Charlotte. I would love to see the TWC getting sold out night in and night out like the old Hornets teams used to. 1/21/2010 12:10:47 PM |

SportsCenter had a nice mini-breakdown of the Bobcats last night. Basically said the team morale has skyrocketed now that Jackson has come on board, and for two reasons:
1. They now know they're going to score enough points to win. Before Jackson got there, the team would compete their asses off, but didn't have enough firepower on offense to score more than 85 points. This was obviously demoralizing as hell. Now that Jackson is there, the offense isn't a problem, so winning becomes much easier. It's pretty simple, and almost common sense to anyone who follows the team, but it's interesting to hear from a national analyst.
2. Jackson brings a tough, competitive swagger with him. This raises everyone's confidence and level of play. 1/21/2010 12:47:57 PM |

Quote : | " Captain Jack guiding Bobcats to unforeseen heights
By MIKE CRANSTON, AP Sports Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Stephen Jackson’s(notes) demand to be traded from Golden State came with a declaration that he wanted to play for a winner. So there was plenty of chuckling around the NBA when Jackson was finally dealt in November.
He was headed to the Charlotte Bobcats, a 6-year-old franchise that had never come close to reaching the playoffs.
Two months later, Jackson’s swagger has spread to his new teammates, and Charlotte is one of the league’s biggest surprises. With six straight wins and an NBA-best 9-1 mark since the new year, the Bobcats (21-19) have jumped to fifth place in the Eastern Conference and appear to be a legitimate playoff contender.
Along the way, the franchise has taken on the personality of the quirky, confident and talented Captain Jack.
“I knew this was a place where I could be myself,” Jackson said Thursday. “I’m with some guys who play hard and want to win, and that’s what I wanted to be a part of. I didn’t want to be a part of an organization that was going young and worried about being good in three years and not now.”
But the Bobcats? This is an expansion team that hadn’t won more than 35 games in any of its previous five seasons. Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown brought instant credibility when he was hired before last season, but the Bobcats were still a long way from being in playoff discussions.
They started this season as the NBA’s lowest scoring team despite dynamic forward Gerald Wallace(notes). Looking for another scorer, general manager Rod Higgins brought up Jackson’s name to Brown and managing partner Michael Jordan. Higgins knew the 31-year-old Jackson from his stint in the Warriors’ front office.
“Rod was so positive about his talent,” Brown said. “Even though people have this perception of him, Rod said he’s a great teammate and wants to win.”
Jackson carried baggage dating to his lengthy suspension for his role in the infamous Pacers-Pistons brawl in 2004. There were other legal issues, too, then his feud with Warriors coach Don Nelson.
Jackson was upset with Golden State’s decline after reaching the second round of the 2007 playoffs. The NBA fined him $25,000 for publicly demanding a trade. He then got into a spat with Nelson during an exhibition game, leading to a two-game suspension and the loss of his captain title.
Before agreeing to a deal that sent Raja Bell(notes) and Vladimir Radmanovic(notes) to Golden State, Brown made calls to his friends. San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich had nothing but praise for Jackson, who was on the Spurs’ 2003 championship team.
“All the guys I spoke to liked him and thought he was really talented in a lot of ways most people wouldn’t imagine,” Brown said. “The fact that he could pass and he could defend, he’s a really good rebounder.
“But to say I expected this, that would be stretching it.”
That would be Charlotte’s transformation with Jackson. After losing their first three games following his Nov. 16 acquisition to drop to 3-9, the Bobcats have gone 18-10. They’re averaging 97.7 points after managing only 82.4 without him, while maintaining their status as the league’s stingiest defensive team.
Jackson, averaging 20.9 points in Charlotte, is helping his teammates’ numbers, too. Wallace has gone from 13.7 points a game to 20 since Jackson opened up the offense.
“He’s very confident as he comes out on the court,” Wallace said of Jackson. “I think that rubs off on guys.”
Jackson and Wallace, two athletic wings, present opponents with a tough choice.
“Either you’re going to put your best defender on me, whether he’s big or small, and let Gerald have a good night,” Jackson said, “or just double (Wallace) and let us get open shots all night.”
Jackson scored a career- and franchise-best 43 points in a win over Houston last week, then surpassed 10,000 career points two games later against Phoenix on the way to being voted Eastern Conference player of the week. Wallace is a candidate for his first All-Star game.
The two are constantly needling each other and holding shooting competitions after practice. At the end of Thursday’s workout, Jackson jokingly said he would only do an interview if Wallace was with him.
So it took a little begging for Jackson to answer a serious question. Did he really expect to be a part of possible playoff team in Charlotte?
“I knew the first game,” Jackson insisted. “We played Orlando and I didn’t know any plays, first time playing with any of these guys and we had a chance to win against one of the best teams in the East. That day, alone, let me know that we could be a good team.
“I was just worried about how long it was going to take for us to click and gel. And it didn’t take that long.”" |
