ha, they just used the word "defenders" in a commercial for the NBA All Star Game

2/11/2009 8:38:12 PM

Nice win over the Wizards tonight 101-89 ... even though it's the Wizards

Bobcats started Augustin and Felton again tonight, and it worked really well. Augustin had 24 points. Felton nearly had a triple double with 15 points, 9 boards, 8 assists.

Also, Vlad was 8-14 for 21 points. Once again, it's looking like the Bobs made out like bandits on a trade.

ive been a radman fan since NBA Live 2003

couldnt beat me with the sonics with ray allen and him

2/11/2009 9:46:53 PM

Gotta give credit where credit is due. This team has pulled off a couple decent trades lately.

They won again without 2 of their best players. With Wallace and Bell coming back after the all-star break, this team could put a run together.

Now lets see if they deal Felton or not. It might make sense to hold on to him the way he's been playing the past few weeks.

2/11/2009 9:54:32 PM

or at least get more for him than fucking tinsley & a few other scrubs

2/11/2009 9:57:38 PM

overtime vs. magic right now. redick just hit a game tying 3.

2/17/2009 9:38:17 PM

Lost by 4.

Dwight Howard had 43 points, 18 boards, and 7 blocks. fuck

2/17/2009 9:49:59 PM

holy shit diop the free throw line is 15' away, not 12' away

what a horrible horrible FT attempt

^is that a guess? cause im still watching

[Edited on February 17, 2009 at 9:52 PM. Reason : .]

2/17/2009 9:52:25 PM

i don't know why diop didn't go up strong with that first attempt to try and draw a foul from howard. he's got to know he's been playing with 5 fouls, srsly.

[Edited on February 17, 2009 at 9:55 PM. Reason : rad]

2/17/2009 9:54:51 PM

probably because despite being 7' tall, he shoots like 38% from the field

and that seriously mightve been one of the worst free throw attempts ive ever seen

2/17/2009 9:55:38 PM

shit was gross

[Edited on February 17, 2009 at 9:58 PM. Reason : ft]

2/17/2009 9:59:57 PM

well at least they arent winning shit as far as titles without nelson

not that thats much consolation for us

2/17/2009 10:00:57 PM

howard ending up with 45pts 19 rebs 8 blocks and 50 white girls

It wasn't a guess. I fucked up looking at the game tracker. I'm assuming they lost?

2/17/2009 10:38:55 PM

yeah but vlad rad hit a late 3 to get us within 2, but then we had an away-from-the-basket foul and redick hit the FT to make it a 3 point game, and then we had to foul again

2/17/2009 11:13:44 PM

I don't care about the Bobcats...except when JJ Redick causes a defeat. Fuck him.

2/18/2009 6:04:52 AM

gerald looked pretty good tonight while i was watching. back to diving for loose balls despite the broken rib.

25pts 10rebs 7ast

103-94 W

2/18/2009 9:48:15 PM

Beat the Kings last night 98-91. I don't know if I've ever seen a more no-name team in the NBA than the Kings. It's Drew Gooden, Bobby Jackson, and a bunch of random parts (Rashard McCants included).

Anyway, Wallace was solid with 27 points ... he had a monster alley-oop jam from Felton that was a top-3 play on SportsCenter. Augustin was 4-4 on 3pts. Not a pretty win, but the bobcats are terrible on the road. I'll take it.

2/26/2009 12:11:06 PM

Kevin Martin?

2/26/2009 12:21:29 PM

Kevin Martin has become somewhat of a name, only because he's their only real scoring option on the wing. He's not that good ... and has one of the weirdest looking shots I've ever seen.

Ask most casual fans who he is (outside of Western NC) and they'd probably be lost.

2/26/2009 12:28:01 PM

I'd venture to say that 99% of casual NBA fans know who Kevin Martin is.

As far as "casual fans"...I don't really know what that means. If you just slightly follow the NBA, you should know who Kevin Martin is.

Martin is 7th in the league in scoring ... and shoots 42% from behind the arc.

2/26/2009 12:52:06 PM

^^not 99 percent, not even close

small market + bad team + no national tv games

I'd say maybe half of 'casual fans' know of him

but like you said 'casual fans' is a broad definition

2/26/2009 1:35:43 PM

I'd consider my brother a casual NBA fan. He knows what teams are good, their makeup, who got drafted where (for the most part), and the strengths/weaknesses of the NBA's top players. He'll watch a game if it's on, but doesn't go out of his way to watch any particular team.

He had never heard of Kevin Martin.

Don't discount the fact that he played at Western Carolina. People around here may be slightly more familiar with him, but elsewhere, he's a mystery.

2/26/2009 2:52:18 PM

it also doesnt exactly help his recognition when he's on the worst team in the NBA

2/26/2009 3:15:38 PM

bobby jackson is from salisbury!

2/26/2009 4:50:38 PM

3 out of 5 from this road trip. not bad at all.

3/1/2009 2:22:41 AM

Pretty winnable schedule throughout the month of March. As long as Okafor's ankle is alright (tweaked it against the Clips) the Bcats has a serious chance of making a playoff push.

3/2/2009 10:57:45 PM

here's a question somebody asked on the radio today:

Would you rather the Bobcats squeak into the 8th spot and most likely lose to Boston or Cleveland, but make the playoffs, host a couple playoff games, etc...or would you rather the Bobcats miss the playoffs and maybe get a nice lottery pick and try to make a run next year after hopefully getting a nice rookie?

I would say make the playoffs...somehow, the Bobcats actually match up rather well relatively with the Lakers and Celtics among others, so I wouldn't completely fear a 7 game series with Boston like some other team's fans might...I think they would beat us, but all that matters is the first team to win 4 games...getting a high draft pick could be good as well, I wouldn't mind a Blake Griffin, but we don't have the best draft history either (we includes MJ)

3/2/2009 11:01:05 PM

would like to see us matched up against the celts

otherwise take the draft pick

3/2/2009 11:21:44 PM

Atlanta as the 8th seed last year gave them their toughest test in the whole playoffs

3/2/2009 11:29:41 PM

i'd say playoffs because what they really need is some interest. a run at the playoffs and a couple games at home even if they lose in the first round would stimulate some interest goin into next year. its been kinda interesting seeing the evolution of the fanbase just a tiny bit since they've creeped back into the picture after the trades. would be even better to hear people interested during the offseason and actually showing up for games.

long term, draft pick might be best, but given their draft history, its no sure bet.

3/2/2009 11:35:44 PM

yeah especially if ty lawson is available

3/2/2009 11:57:28 PM

or better yet...psycho t!!!!

3/3/2009 12:11:24 AM

you know they'll trade next year's 1st rounder for another 1st this year so they can grab lawson & tyler

3/3/2009 12:12:15 AM

i vote playoffs for momentum going into next year

3/3/2009 1:00:15 AM

Sat, Nov 29 Boston L 84-89
Tue, Jan 6 Boston W 114-106 OT
Wed, Apr 1 @ Boston 7:30 PM

I'll take a seven game series. win or lose.

3/3/2009 10:07:10 AM

Agreed on the playoffs. This team definitely needs some postseason experience. Having a marquee team like the Celtics come to town would be HUGE for the city of Charlotte. Plus, they seem to matchup with the Celtics pretty nicely.

3/3/2009 10:18:25 AM

Beat the Bulls 96-80 tonight.

That's 4 Wins in a row...

Okafor 14 pts 10 reb
Wallace 10 pts 4 reb
Bell 18 pts 2 reb 2 ast
Diaw 13 pts 3 reb 6 ast
Felton 18 pts 4 reb 9 ast
Augustin 8 pts 4 reb 5 ast

[Edited on March 3, 2009 at 9:19 PM. Reason : stats]

3/3/2009 9:17:09 PM

I love to see balance scoring like that. Raja Bell by himself might be more valuable to this team than Jason Richardson. I'm still amazed how well that trade is working out.

We need to keep tabs on the Bucks too. They're the team the Bobcats are chasing for that final playoff spot.

3/3/2009 9:44:21 PM

Micheal Crabtree was there, odd since Panthers have no shot at him

the best part was at the very end when Aaron Gray and Ajinca almost came to blows

they had an epic staredown and shoving match

[Edited on March 3, 2009 at 10:39 PM. Reason : oh and the bucks lost and have to play at cavs tomorrow ! Only 2 games out and rising]

3/3/2009 10:38:33 PM

Bucks lost, but it was to the Nets (another team in the playoff hunt). Not sure if that helps.

Looks like Bell's arm was giving him trouble all night. Hope he's alright. Okafor and Felton both tweaked their ankles but played, and Wallace's ribs got pounded all night. The bobcats might not be that talented of a team, but they're pretty fucking tough.
