Bobcats lose to Blazers in OT

Every once in a while, a team's heart is broken. They play well the entire game before a series of poor decisions toward the end of it cost them the win. Tonight, the Charlotte Bobcats lost to the Portland Trailblazers in overtime, 118-112.

Gerald Henderson to come off the bench against Portland Trail Blazers

Henderson will play. Sounds like he'll come off bench tonight. No time constraints, Dunlap said.

So Taylor keeps starting, at least tonight. Asked about Henderson minutes, Dunlap said he'd get "little bites of the apple" to gauge.

I think this is a good move to ease Henderson back into the lineup as opposed to thrusting him back in as a starter.

Jeffery Taylor has been improving and it continues to be interesting to see how his progress goes in these next couple games as Henderson gets re-situated.

As for tonight, I wonder if we'll see some really small ball. Like Walker, Gordon, Henderson, MKG, Biyombo? Just throwing some crap out there and seeing what sticks, honestly. That lineup could push the tempo for sure.

Talking Bobcats vs Blazers with Portland Roundball Society

If you want to listen to me and Sean Highkin of Portland Roundball Society talking about tonight's matchup, here's the link. Most of it discusses Damian Lillard, Kemba Walker, LaMarcus Aldridge, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Byron Mullens, as well as the too teams' strengths and weaknesses.

We also discuss how the Bobcats are much superior to the Lakers and why the NBA should remove the Hall of Fame's five year time requirement before consideration so they can induct Byron Mullens as soon as possible.
