2008 NBA Draft Review -- Damn, MJ Sucks At This
My friends and I argue about basketball all the time. Allen Iverson's relative greatness is a flash point. We differ on how important clutchness is. However, we all agree that the Bobcats had a terrible draft this year. First, take a look at who I wanted before the draft, and let's recap:D.J....
Bobcats Draft Grades From Around the Web
I've provided my own draft assessment on the Bobcats, but my opinion is by no means a consensus. Taking a look around the interwebs, there appears to be a variety of views on how good the Cats' draft was. With the understanding that drafts don't get their real grades until three or four years down...
Where Might the Bobcats Trade Felton? Western Conference
Yesterday, I went over possible suitors for Raymond Felton's services in the Eastern Conference. Today, we'll take a look at Western Conference teams in need of a point guard of Felton's caliber.Unfortunately for the Bobcats, two teams I'd planned on addressing look like they've already answered...

Against really good teams, they scrap and claw and make...
The NBA: Where Coaches Baffle
Facial HairThe head is at an angle, just like the last facial hair photo, only this time, something is horribly off. Just as the Bobcats tried to do the same thing they did Friday, only yesterday it was against a very different team. (As a side note, nobody believes me when I tell them the...
The Bobcats Are Better Than This
Facial HairWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?===There is no way to put this gently. Larry Brown has lost games by playing Felton and Augustin together in the back court. Let's say Brown puts them out there with Richardson, Wallace, and Okafor. Without even seeing them take the court, my first thought is that,...
