Paul Silas wants to run

and that this turns out to be like Brett Favre in basketball…

but every coach talks about how they want to run. LB said the same thing when we got Tyson Chandler and Tyrus.
im not drinking the kool-aid until i see us score 100 in back to back games

as the “fanshot” guy now aren’t I? Hahaha. At least the world knows my “name”. Good call though. Get those 70 words, and get em good.

I’m happy to hear this. You know Silas is really going to be the “I’ll say everything Bobcats fans and Charlotte want to hear, but when the players don’t produce I’ll have an excuse to help MJ rebuild!”. I don’t mean that in a negative way, because that’s really how the situation is, and handling it any other way would suck for the fans. I think we have what it takes to run, but Boris must be off the floor. We need better passing(remember all those damn turnovers we have?). Jack can’t be out their either. Running lineup:

Dj
Hendo/Liv
UPS
Gwall
Tyrus

SMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAALLLLLLLLL lineup in comparison, but we have good defenders on the floor(minus dj), and 2 better than average shot blockers on the fast break.

I really want to see what we have. This season is what last season kinda should have been. Let Hendo and Brown PLAY and see what we really have in those dudes. Kwame is really coming along well with this team(god that feels weird to type). Tyrus with real minutes could just absolutely be this solid core of a player no-one expected him to be(except me…I see you in there Shawn Kemp…I know you wanna come out.).

Thanks for the “bump.”

I am as psyched as anyone to see Silas shave 10 points off the practice shot clock, and openly warn anyone on his new team that dragging their feet on the court will be the easiest way to get benched.

I’m really just hoping we don’t make any hair trigger trades for 3-4 weeks, unless an a ridiculously lopsided offer in our favor materializes. I’m dying to see what kind of “treasure” Slias can make out of Larry’s “trash.”

Look for Blazers coach Nate McMillan to draw interest from Bobcats owner Michael Jordan as a potential long-term replacement for Larry Brown should McMillan and the Blazers part ways after his contract expires at season’s end. The respected Paul Silas was a natural interim choice for Jordan — given that Silas lives in Charlotte, had been attending many Bobcats games and badly wanted the job when it went to Brown’s predecessor, Sam Vincent — and badly wants to win Jordan over to score the job permanently. McMillan, though, has a strong advocate in the organization in Bobcats president Fred Whitfield.

From what I gather, it’s Charles Oakley, Stephen Silas, and Ralph Lewis. I’m told the PJ Brown and Muggsy rumors aren’t true. Anyone else have the info?

As has been widely reported and talked about, the Magic are after a backup center behind Dwight Howard now that Marcin Gortat has been traded to the Suns.

And one such such player that might be offered up to them is Boris Diaw.

“Look for the Bobcats to try to gain cap relief by offering Diaw to Orlando for the expiring contract of Jason Richardson, a former Bobcat,” wrote Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe. “Diaw has a player option for $9 million next season, while Richardson’s $14.4 million comes off the books.”

While Diaw plays power forward for the Bobcats, he has the size to back up Howard at center.

But whether the Magic would want to give up their new starting shooting guard for a backup center remains to be seen, as it’s been reported backups like Chris Duhon and Quentin Richardson are the trade chips they’re more in favor of using.

If such a deal ever came to fruition, it’s possible Gilbert Arenas would then step into the starting lineup at the 2 for the Magic, while Tyrus Thomas would likely assume the starting PF role in Charlotte.

we can start drinking the Kool-Aid

the game tonight showed me that Paul was SERIOUS. we were running and shooting like, 3 seconds into the shot-clock.

it’s a new day
