The Bobcats' Roster Mismanagement
There's an enlightening term that every sports fan seems to understand, even if he or she hasn't heard the term before. That term is "sunk cost".Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer does not appear to understand what a sunk cost is, as he argues that because the Bobcats have so much money tied up...
How to lose to the Cleveland Cavs
Facial HairFirst things first: The Bobcats were thoroughly overmatched against the Cavs this evening. Their best lineup has a chance against Cleveland's best lineup, but they lose ground rapidly when the benches come into play.If we learned anything from this loss, which was totally expected, it's...
Cautious Optimism and Pragmatic Pessimism
Facial HairThat was refreshing. To get their first win of the season, exhibition or otherwise, the Bobcats thoroughly outplayed the Heat last night. It was an example of the Cats' hitting their performance ceiling. The matchup was right, and they won just about every strategy and execution...
Pistons Lay the Smackdown on the Bobcats
Facial HairThis is the most ill-advised 'stache I've ever attempted. The Official GF of Rufus on Fire disapproved so much, I hesitate to post it. Oh, well. That game sucked, too.Even without Chauncey Billups, and before Allen Iverson arrived, the Pistons clearly outmatched the Bobcats. I was wrong...
A Satisfying Win Over the Hornets Leads to More Questions
Facial HairSometime during the second quarter, when I realized Chris Paul hadn't been scoring, and Tyson Chandler hadn't been scoring, and David West hadn't been scoring, I turned to my buddy Stephen and told him, "This is what the Bobcats do. Against really good teams, they scrap and claw and make...
Raps Come to Town

Chris Bosh and Jose Calderon are the cornerstones of a perennial playoff team, but the supporting cast just isn't the kind of quality to push them past the Celtics, Pistons, or LeBrons. They're about...
Goal: Score More Than 80 Against the Jazz
Did you wake up this Friday morning, flip on the computer to check your fantasy football team, and stare, bleary-eyed, at the big, fat, zero BenJarvus Green-Ellis put up last night? Then, did you glance at your RB options for the other slot this week and silently curse Reggie Bush's and Earnest...

Emeka's Big Game Overshadowed By Wade
All anyone else is talking about regarding last night's loss to the Heat, 100-96, is this bit of wonder from D-Wade.(H/T Ball Don't Lie)I understand. Wade is the big star. Emeka got one jammed over him. Yay for Yao's phone buddy! Of course, this completely ignores Okafor's tremendous first three...
Bobcats Smacked Down by the Bucks
Facial HairDude. Seriously. Seriously, dude. That was embarrassing.("Embarrassed" by benrybobenry, cc-licensed)===The story of this 104-75 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks was the Bobcats' complete inability to deal with Michael Redd. I gave up and recorded my thoughts at the start of the fourth...
