NBA Preview: Charlotte Bobcats (Part 2)
(Part 1 is just a miserable click away.)If I come off as exceedingly negative about the Bobcats, it's because honesty demands it. They'll probably suck again this year, and that is a burden on the fans, but we can still have fun and seek wisdom in the process of explaining why they are the way they...
Beat the Heat With Jared Dudley
The Miami Heat are coming off a sound beatdown of the Sacramento Kings in which six different players scored in double figures. Rumors of Dwyane Wade's return from exile continue unabated, and Michael Beasley and Shawn Marion are doing the kind of dual 3-4 combo forward thing that makes sense for...
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...
Bobcats To Get First Road Win Against Knicks
Yes, that's a prediction in the post title.The Bobcats are headed to the Garden for their second road game. The Knicks will throw a small lineup at them, which bodes well, because I suspect the Cats will develop a trend of playing well against smaller teams, since that's where their strengths lie....
I Admit I Love Chauncey
The Denver Nuggets just traded away Allen Iverson to get back prodigal son Chauncey Billups. On the face of it, while both are excellent players, Iverson is probably excellenter. Former MVP. Still one of the few guys in the league nobody can guard alone. Chauncey ain't in that class, but he still...
The Larry Brown Backlash, In Full Effect
Facial HairSometimes, you can dance in the club, thinking you're having a good time, but really, everyone's just laughing at you as you make weird faces.===The finger pointing. The blame game. It's starting. Truth is hard, sometimes, and MJ speaks the truth when he says that Jared Dudley would be a...
An OT Win, and Now the Celtics
Yesterday, the Official GF of Rufus on Fire and her sister took me on the Black Friday shopping whirlwind, and then in the evening, we went to a friend's house for a post-Thanksgiving leftovers party.First, the shopping. I didn't go into Lids or Foot Locker or Champs or Dick's, but among all the...
The Cleveland LeBrons Are Here
The King is in the building.LeBron James is the only player in the NBA who makes his team a title contender all by himself. Before I get emails from the Kobe defenders, I agree that Bean24 is probably the most talented individual player in the world. But we already know that Kobe needs a supporting...
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...
