would anyone else be stoked to get amudson for the bench? he was a great hussle and energy guy for the suns and provided some good minutes, I think it would make alot of since if we ended up trading diaw and maybe dampiers contract. I still dont understand the signing of dominic maguire. was he picked up just for a backup role to tyrus or fill multiple positions? what do yall think. I WANT LOOOOOUUUUISSS!!!!!!

I have no idea of his video game status...
Though there is nothing wrong with Descent.
I think he’s a decent player too…but I don’t want to overpay for him…

+1 to the guy...
who says “check spelling and grammar” without writing a complete sentence!
ha!
I think Amundson would be a decent signing depending on other moves made to the roster. If we trade Diaw for an upgrade at the point, then we likely need another front court player to round out the roster.
Mike Train
Kiss my @ss I didn’t know that i was still in scholl again.. This is a blog and i was in a hurry as long as people knew what i was meaning what is the big deal..
Lazy Dog,
I think Mike Train was trying to help so just chill out! It makes you look ridiculous resorting to foul language. So please take heed and don’t act like a jerk. I, for one, agree that it’s nice when people actually take the time to make sure what they write makes sense and is spelled correctly. This is a blog and yes, people will definitely make mistakes, but it’s not like he called you out directly.
Actually several on here have been calling folks out on the blog about anything and everything...
Seriously…is everyone THAT on edge that they find it necessary, in a blog, to point out misspellings and what not? I mean we all get what is being said, and when you point out a misspelling, mispunctuation, etc…what exactly is the point? Is it fun to point that stuff out?
I got a friend on here…Yo Beem…he types all sorts of stuff wrong, and if we pointed out to him, all of the stuff he types wrong…he’d be sooooo depressed.
So…that said…party on Yo…

Not trying to call people out,
but it’d be nice if we could understand what people mean when they say it and I’ve seen plenty that has needed some deciphering. When did people become so disrespectful because someone was trying to help?!? Not calling anyone out, but just making a point like you were. All things aside, I’m excited to see what will happen with the Bobcats these next few months and am glad to have all you fellow fans on here! Let’s go Bobcats!
guess I've just grown used to the typos...
My most sincerest apologies to anyone’s feelings I have possibly hurt…
Gotta love people's ridiculous sarcasm...
guess some people did not pay attention in school and think that resorting to calling people names or using sarcasm is mature.
idk if he was but it didnt sound like Mike was trying to be helpfull but u guys probly know the way he expresses things then me better over his time on here but i can see how Lazydog took it tht way but there is never a need to cuss
TS BOBCAT
thanks for your insight and I appreciate you backing me up on the cussing part. It’s pretty bad we have to even talk about this on here since this is dedicated to the Bobcats. I look forward to you and everyone else’s interesting posts on the Bobcats and hope we all have some very good news here soon on the future of the team!
Not sure...
I’m really starting to doubt Chris Paul just because the information that has come out seems to point in other directions. However, I do think MJ and Brown really do want Paul, but it’d involve the team giving up so much and Paul doesn’t seem too interested to come to Charlotte. But I do believe the team will do whatever it takes to make something big happen, and I still believe Dampier’s contract is very valuable around the NBA. I think Charlotte may go after Collison if they can’t get Paul. Both would be very difficult to obtain and I definitely do not want to give up Gerald Wallace in the process. What do you think?
for Collinson

then
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2bhq99x
srry links arent working but i think this could work we have to take there bad contracts so we might not want this at all and im an idiot but yea haha
Understand
That theres no way NO is gunna trade collision, even if paul says that he is staying NO isnt going to trust him, fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me, they have to have that backup.
I win as if im used to it, and i loose as if i like it for a change.
Understand?
no offence but i dont think tht u know tht for sure i think u have a rlly good point but there might be something tht makes them confident he will stay but i do agree tht they cant trust him but Darren knows wat he is worth and tht he can start so maybe there afraid this drama could happen with him
Nah you dont have to say no offense were having a convo lol. But im pretty sure that demps wont. unless Paul advised him to trade him and hell stay.
I win as if im used to it, and i loose as if i like it for a change.
but then u gota think
if they dont wana get rid of DC bc there scared CP will leave then why not go ahead and trade CP
How do we know there not gunna trade CP? lol
I win as if im used to it, and i loose as if i like it for a change.
has anybody thought of Nate Robinson?
like with Kendrick Perkins? in the trade machine u cnt trade Nate so maybe u cnt do tht but i was jw it was something i thought about
Called Out
Guys if you go back and look Mike Tain has called Andrew Lail and myself out for mispelling words. This a blogs and it will happen regaurdless of who you are it will happen. But for Mike Train to continue to call people out is just sad. And the cuss word i said was the first one that i have said on here not like some of the others that i have seen.
I understand what your saying, he has been calling people out but i dont understand why people just dont ignore it. All it is is letters on a screen its not like hes coming up to you and threating you or anything. Mike called me out last week and i realized that it was pointless just to argue with him and i needed to be the man and stop. If anyone has an issue concerning one person i have a little advice to mike, lazy, and anyone else email David as he is the only person that can do something about it. Please dont come yelling saying im calling anyone out here or nothing cause it will be pointless i wont argue back.
I win as if im used to it, and i loose as if i like it for a change.
I mean he's an okay role player that I would like to have on the bench for the right price
But to be stoked about him? He’s like a not as good Varejao.

Same as I answered in the other post re this
We already have Najera who plays the same role / position. We don’t need another.
yea I'm really not all that into him
hustle yeah, but he’s pretty undersized. I seriously think that Diaw will be gone come the start of the season. Hopefully for a PG and a serviceable center. c’mon Blazers…please tell me you want our stinky frenchman! you have so many good options.

I don't really think we have room for him now since we traded for Najera.
That makes Tyrus, Boris, Najera, and possibly Derek Brown to fill out the roster at PF. There’s no way you can find PT for all these guys. If we’re able to swing a deal that sends Boris and either Najera/Brown off (don’t want to lose Brown), then I say yes. But, I just don’t see how much he would be able to bring to the team at this point.

He can.
He’s one of those multi-positional players that Brown loves. I’ve seen flashes of him were he’s looked like Gerald and then I’ve seen others were he’s looked like Tyrus.

No thank you to Amundson. Nice energy guy, but i would rather give those minutes to D. Brown or Diaw. I really don’t like Najera, but they both do about the same things. If we can move some pieces around then Amundson could be a nice pick-up. If the roster remains the same, then i say no. We have got bigger needs than getting another PF that can’t score. Center and Point are what we need. The rest of the roster looks ok to me. Not great, but ok.
Alright everyone
I was just saying how every article used to be well written and better than most of those jokers at Yahoo Sports (free though so can’t hate too much), and now that the onslaught of new people occurred, it seems like the quality has gone down dramatically overall.
I’ve also seen several threads that say “WE NEED ______” when NOBODY AGREES with that person. I just feel that the article writing should be left to certain people, that’s all.
I am all for professionalism, although I may be in the minority there, and I cannot stand reading badly written articles… it bugs me to no end
Maybe I’m focusing too much on how the site used to be. At least all the OMGZ CP3 articles have slowed down to a trickle haha
GSO
lol
Brother you put your pants on the same way i do in the mornings. So if i post something feel free to look the other way. Because this is a blog/site for BOBCATS fans not MIKE TRAIN fans.
So you aren't a fan of
professionalism on a sports blog site?
It’s not like we are in middle school, everyone should know how to write in proper english.

I didn't know Arnott was paying you to read and comment on all this blog Mike
Dude I totally want your job.
Mike Train: Professional blog reader/commenter.
It took me a good while to figure out...
But it dawned on me today…
It isn’t so much that it is the misspellings and what not as it is the extra heavy use of texting “shortened” words like ttyl, bc, tht, rlly…
Though they are annoying, I understand typing that…kinda
Well, not really…but at any rate,it is sometimes annoying, but at thesametime, this is just a blog…everyone lighten up…
The fact that Louis Amundson’s blog, a player we don’t even want, is getting more and more posts is frightening to me.
Hopefully, this is where complaining about how people post and the desire to sign Amundson will both die.

Okay, since it appears that this needs to be said
Here’s the deal with spelling and grammar on a blog.
Good spelling and grammar adds professionalism to a comment. That isn’t to say everyone’s comment has to seem professional. If someone values having their comments being considered in higher regard, then go that way. If getting your comment across quickly is more important, even if that means more people won’t read it or might think less of it, then by all means go that way.
Personally, I prefer nice and tidy comments. Points come across clearer. But I understand that some people make typos and that some are fine with abbreviating most words. So by all means, write how you want.

I understand typos will happen. Crap happens. The “texting” words can get on my nerves, especially the ones without vowels. It can be annoying to have to translate those but I can get that some people want to write like that.

and McGuire
was a defensive signing, which is fine by me.
Just look at the Piston’s of the 2000’s… They did not have a “Superstar” per se, especially not a superstar scorer, and won the Title/competed every year
GSO
I agree,
the Bobcats have already shown they can compete without having a superstar on the roster. I do, however, believe it would be great if we could add one only if we don’t have to give up Wallace or Jackson to do so. I would love to see the Bobcats pull off a championship like Detroit did but it’s very difficult to do so. All this waiting is killing me.
oh ur saying them in the 2000's overall my bad i thought u meant tht year
but are u trying to say tht all of us tht arent good writers in ur opinion shouldnt post threads bc i think thts just stupid and wrong it shouldnt be left to certain ppl. other ppl have there opinions on things and they should be able to voice them rather u or anyone like them and if anybody actually doesnt like some threads ppl are typing then dont read there threads. so ur wrong if thts wat ur saying but i could rlly look stupid here and not get wat ur saying at all

nvm im sorry
ik ur not tlking about my comment im just a lil tense cuz i just had to tell a guy at Baseline off without cussing tho haha
Not everyone on here has the same amount of education.
Are the Bobcats really the team of the cultural elite?
I prefer to think of sports as a more egalitarian passtime.
Jesus Christo!
Just start your own douche-bagged blog and you can edit it however you want.

You make zero sense, how is me stating a fact causing me to be a douche-bag? I don’t see why people think it is so wrong to want good educated responses and arguments..

Good Grief…move beyond it…
Wasn’t this blog about a player we are all in consensus that we do not want?
Settled!
Move on…
You want to discuss Douche-baggery, start a new blog so I don’t keep coming in here with the fear that we have signed Amundson.
really
My god are you guys really still arguing about this. I log on thinking there are 20 interesting new,comments about basketball and all i see is this unproductive banter. Come on guys, lets agree to disagree amd move on. Plenty of other topics to talk about like our dillusional power ranking.

This just in....
Hollinger, in a rare side-by-side comparison, has rated the Yucca Flats Yellowjackets 8th grade junior varsity team ahead of the Charlotte Bobcats in 9 out of 10 essential statistical ratings. Hollinger has vehemently denied being biased against Charlotte, but it has been discovered that he has crossed out the words"North Carolina" on the map of the U.S. hanging behind his desk. Written instead, in black Sharpie, are the words “Armpit of the Universe.”

Oh please everyone Mike Train is the only one that can type and post correctly. Get a life dude. There are more Bobcats than you my friend and yes we may make mistake but we get our points across.

Mike Train = Douche on the loose!
I know a lot of people won’t like me for saying this, but if we can’t have fun on a Bobcats fan blog where the heck can we have fun?
P.S. Anyone who gets upset or angry at this should probably get back to work before the boss finds out.

Interesting how the only people who have a problem with me/ my want for educated responses and arguments are the new people… haha
GSO
MikeTrain,
I’m new on here and completely agree with you. It’d be nice if we didn’t have to decipher certain comments on here. While I understand we all can make mistakes when typing, especially in a hurry, it’s still nice to have clearcut responses. As I said earlier, the people or person using foul language and or names all because MikeTrain happened to say something are ridiculous. Get over it!
I believe...
You have this slang thing wrong. Slang is shorting three words into one like ttyl, ikr, gtg, and bbl. The people who use things without vowels are either in a hurry or trying to shorten it to get the 150 characters that all text need. Although there are words like l8r and words that are typed how they sound like wat and C most of them dont take out any vowels….Just wanted to clear that up for you.
I use slang when I’m texting or on Myspace, i dont even use it for Facebook as i believe that site is more professional. Plus the red squiggly line under the word which indicates its misspelled is annoying anyways. Lol. <——- Im guessing thats an ok slang word to use on this site as i seen many other people use it?
On a side note can you believe that the word texting is coming up misspelled on my web browser? Hmm.
I win as if im used to it, and i loose as if i like it for a change.
I have to agree with you Noahzack
When I am on facebook I am usually killing time at work, so I try to be more professional while I’m there.
Also, Lol is NOT ok. It is uneducated and shows that you are a moron,
I hate you uneducated people who don’t write exactly the way I think you should. You shouldn’t be allowed on MY blog!
Yes I am serious. No this is not a sarcastic comment made to mock the high-horsed fools complaining about a few people who tend to misspell words.
lol!
In fact, I almost lmao!
Way kewl dude!

Well if by diversity you mean
allowing Bobcats fans with degrees from Harvard, Yale, and EVEN Princeton to post their thoughts, then yes I agree. We here at Rufus on Fire do speak to all kinds.
Quick question
Last year, we heard rumors that the bobcats were interested in Stephen Jackson…then we heard he didnt wana come here….then it went completely silent and alll of the sudden, the trade went down outta nowhere
my question is, how long was it silent b4 we actuall made the trade?…i cant remember
right b4 he was traded
he said he wanted to go to a contender and a few teams were mentioned…the bobcats name got thrown in the mix and he said he wasnt interested in coming here…of course, he changed his mind very quickly once he got here
I have no recollection of Jax saying he wouldn’t want to come to Charlotte. i do remember him listing teams that he did want to go to, which were the Cavs, the Knicks, and any of the 3 Texas teams. Maybe this link helps. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/10397/dont-forget-bobcats-in-stephen-jackson-sweepstakes

Bobcats are 30
29 is the Timberwolves and our score was a little over half of theirs. Tyrus Thomas gets a good mention, but that’s it. Pretty harsh.
Seems like they would wait until closer to the start of the season to run this piece
There are still roster moves to be made. And to do it right in the middle of the Chris Paul thing it seems poorly timed. Hopefully we’ll make some moves that give us a better long term outlook. But if we just cut Dampier, I’m going to wish we still had Tyson Chandler.
I doubt
we’ll just cut Dampier. He’s worth too much just to let go for cap room. I think MJ and Brown have something up their sleeve, so we shall see very soon.
That's what people keep saying
and I hope we do trade Damps in a deal that puts a better product on the court. But the longer it takes to trade him, the more likely dumping him for cap room seems. Dampier’s contract is essentially a 13 mil. dollar eraser. His only value is cap room. There’s not as many teams looking for cap room this summer, which somewhat diminishes his value.
Anyways, hope I’m wrong and we swing him over to N.O. in a package that nets us CP3.
I hope you're wrong too, haha,
and that they made a huge trade for him to upgrade the team! I’d love to see the Bobcats make a run at the Finals.
I fear a run at the finals is likely to be at least 3-5 years down the road.
But there’s no reason why we can’t steadily improve with Jordan at the helm and the almost catastrophic contract decisions of the past continue to lapse.
Our real worst case scenario results in us being in the position a year from now (lockout notwithstanding) to have a high pick in the lottery as well as considerable cash to make deals with.
Additionally, it’s VERY unlikely Larry Brown will remain the coach after this season and the team will be able to rebuild quickly under the guidelines of a new coach that may bring some exciting new ideas to the team offense.
Even that disaster has an immense silver lining. I can live with it.

I don't fear seeing him in front of an opponent's bench.
If we can see his weaknesses, you can bet the players, assistant coaches, and Jordan see them as well. Larry Brown is a mighty fine coach, but the Bobcats would know better than most how to exploit his weaknesses and tendencies were he to sign on with another team.

Let's hope it comes sooner,
but I agree with your post. Unless we pick up a superstar and retain our star players presently, we still have quite a ways to go before attempting to make the Finals. We can always have our wishful thinking though, haha. Let’s go Bobcats!
I'd take it!
Just as long as it’s a championship for the QC! Haha.
They should re-asess the NBA Future Power Rankings
after this summer. We’re in the middle of trade season. It’s almost a given that our roster won’t look the same in November than it does now.
they just have to crank out stupid articles to appease the people that actually pay for insider. make them think it is worth it
Ouch
Color me a sucker. If it helps my case any, I’m a subscriber mostly for the Scouts Inc. NFL features, which is way more valuable to me than any Insider articles or rankings.
Exactly. Alot of it is legit. But alot of the rumors and stuff they do arent
by unccatfan on Aug 3, 2010 7:38 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Their draft coverage is excellent
And I really like the stuff David Thorpe does. Overall I find my Insider pass to be worth it. And hate on John Hollinger all you want, his statistical stuff is usually spot on.
i definatley cnt blame them the way we r right now
thts why unless LB sees something in Liv or DJ and Nazr tht noone else sees then we r in trouble i think
I hear the theme song from "Jaws".. --------^----
Seems we took a chance dealing Chandler in hopes of making a splash, but the churn in the water is gone, and we’re down to a glassy, calm sea. All that’s left is to cut Damp, take the money and run. Nobody wants Diaw (can’t blame them) and there’s no true starting PG on the block that we can make a reasonable deal for. Other East teams geting better, only 1 playoff team sliding back (in addition to us).
Bum……ump. -————^———— Bum….ump
Bump ump ump ump, Bump ump ump ump ….
Delonte West
Guys, just noticed that Delonte West got waived by the Wolves. Can he play PG or is he a SG?
West is a PG..
Probably the best FA option out there right now, but he has issues. Gee, what a shock! The guy who publishes another Bobcats blog had this right weeks ago, talking about the Cat’s being analagous to the “Land Of Misfit Toiys”! That made me LOL!
