Let's go...
We are in this together. Tonight’s focus (u out there for this one)= Quality Kemba, Biz-ness, and Keeping Hendo Whole.
Gana Diop...
has both of the FGs for the Bobcats.
Diop is our leading scorer halfway through the first?
Kill me now.

Not yet.
Mostly because I don’t think it’s fair to fire a coach during an obvious rebuilding season. But someone has to be held accountable for the team’s lack of heart during this time.

As much as I love using the injury excuse,
this isn’t acceptable. We still have quality players healthy and on the team that should at least be able to stay competitive.

It is still really embarassing I agree and this should be competitive. I am going to the wizards game tomorrow expecting to actually have a shot…tonight was just going to be a mess

I hope so.
There is a big difference between developinig our young players and just being blown out on a constant basis. I can live with the losses, I don’t see the blowouts doing anything for our player confidence.

Look at the OKC roster
without Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, and Harden. They start:
PG Reggie Jackson
SG Daequan Cook
SF Lazar Hayward
PF Ibaka
C Perkins
6th man Royal Ivey?
That starting lineup would get wholloped by WAS too.
Probably so.
We’ve been wholloped by everyone lately though.

But we were built to be bad
What are the team’s strengths?
high 2012 draft pick
cap room 2012
cap room 2013
some young players who could be something to brag about in a few years.
I think we were built to be bad in the sense that
we wouldn’t win a lot of games, but these are grown men, and getting into a 20+ point hole at the end of every quarter just isn’t acceptable. Kemba, Henderson, Tyrus, Mullens, and Bismack, and Brown are all players we hope can turn into solid pieces for us down the line and they are all healthy. That’s a decent enough lineup to not expect consistent blowouts.

by Charlotte Bobcat on Jan 27, 2012 8:21 PM EST up reply actions
I agree
But unfortunately the skill sets our team has overlap really poorly.
Take Golden State the past decade. The defense is awful, but the offense can work.
Our offense used to be aweful, but our defense as a team was great. We were mediocre.
However, below average offense and below average defense is a terrible combination. You can catch up, you can’t stop the other team consistently.
That’s where we are until we got some offense back.
And Bismack only getting 3 minutes in the first half.

Regarding Kemba ?
Anyone got stats on Felton as a rookie after this many games ?
by chris in union county on Jan 27, 2012 8:18 PM EST reply actions
I don't feel like going through and finding averages
But his numbers look worse than Kemba’s do at this point
Silas is old and tired of this, we're going to have to make a move Mike.

That's what I think will happen as well.

by Charlotte Bobcat on Jan 27, 2012 8:22 PM EST up reply actions
I hate to call out Kemba because he's so young...
and obviously learning on the fly with a plethora of median talent around him, but to have no assists in 18 minutes of play is completely unacceptable. Go ahead and tell me that he would have assists if only his teammates would hit a shot, but I don’t buy that. As a PG, isn’t it your job to put your teammates in the easiest possible position to score? Let’s go ahead and admit that Kemba has been a major fail in this particular area. Frankly, this is disappointing and frustrating because I did expect more out of him.
I expected more scoring out of him,
but not many assists. That’s something I always felt he would have to work on.

What's up with Hendo? Aren't you supposed to have...
outstanding games in your hometown. Did he miss the memo?
He looks off his game...
wouldn’t be surprised if his tail-bone is still stinging.
Literally butthurt.
Who's our next Coach ?
Silas is in serious pain without Coach Oakley to teach and insert heart into these young bucks !
by chris in union county on Jan 27, 2012 8:25 PM EST reply actions
The Bobcats seems way too comfortable losing by a large margin
The lack of leadership really shows when a team seems to go through the motions when it is down by 20 plus points. The lack of heart is bothering me. The injuries don’t/can’t explain losing by this much.

I’m starting to worry that everyone on the team’s confidence is going to be so shot that we should start looking at all of them as trade assets.

Pretty egregious to ignore the defender mugging Henderson then call the offensive foul.
I just wanted to share this with everyone
During the Wizards game on their game thread:
Man…Charlotte is bad!!!!
Their blog is even depressing…..

I did too
Teams delve deep into their bench to find ghosts of NBA’s past lurking when they play the Bobcats
i'm here
its just that since we cant cuss….there really isnt much point to posting
Nonsense.
That’s a horrible excuse. There are plenty of ways to describe how bad we are without cursing.
“Our defense smells worse than Brittney Spears’ vagina”, for example.
by Tim Rudisill on Jan 27, 2012 9:20 PM EST up reply actions
the only horrible excuse
is this team right now. They have no right to even be allowed in the NBA.
Matt Carroll just got blocked by the rim....anyone here to LOL at it wit me? Anybody? No....ok.
A Whole New Low
That looks literally crippling.
Did he walk away from that? Or…ever again?

I wasn't able to participate in the live game blog...
but I’ve been watching entire game (God help me) as usual.
I don’t even blink at going behind by 20+ points anymore. This is me now when the opposing team starts on their prerequisite 10-0 run at the beginning of our games. It’s really quite serene and peaceful.

Not a silver lining.
When you are down that much, you expect to win the 4th quarter any way as the other team checks out.

At this point, I'm willing to straddle the line...
between agreeing with your assessment of his futre as an NBA player, and still holding out hope that he can transform his game and get more comfortable with the speed/skill/size of the NBA game.
I’m a Walker agnostic at this point.
More turnovers than assists now over each of his three games as a starter, while taking the most shots on the team.
Rough play from a guy who really has no choice BUT to play PG.
