Great news

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I just found out I'm going to be daddy next summer!

I'll be back soon!

Ugh. I don't have anything to say about this. Myself being a UConn fan, this hurts extra deep.

11/23 Game Thread - Charlotte @ Orlando

I've been very busy these last 3 days (haven't we all?). I'm sorry I've been lazy about posting. As soon as this weekend passes, I'll be back.

Big game tonight vs. Orlando. It used to be Howard vs. Okafor, but right now the game has some real meaning to it.

NBA Ranks:
Charlotte (6-5)
PPG 93.5 (25th)
Opp PPG 95.5 (9th)

Orlando (10-3)

Opp PPG 97.5 (12th)

Go Cats.

11/21 Game Thread - Washington @ Charlotte

vs.

No "Agent 0" for Washington tonight, or the next 3 months.

Gilbert Arenas will be out for 3 months after surgery on his left knee. He'd been experiencing pain and swelling in the knee and had it checked out this morning. Later during the day, he went under.

So, bad news for Washington, bad news for the NBA, but good news for us tonight.

NBA Ranks:
Charlotte (6-4)
PPG: 91.7 (26th)
Opp PPG: 93.7 (6th)

Washington (5-5)

Game Wrap-Up: 6 out of 10? I'll take it.

You know what you're looking at? That’s Gerald Wallace and Ray Felton wondering what "Bobcats 2 games over .500" means.

Hey, another W over the type of squad we need to be beating every time we play them. I haven't a single complaint.

Ok, I do. We need a center. I have faith in Ryan Hollins, and I believe he should be starting. The guy needs to develop, and any minutes we can get him are crucial in the long-run. Which brings me to my next point, and it seems to be a point I've made 1,000x before...

STOP STARTING PRIMOZ BREZEC. I'm almost certain Ryan Hollins can be much more productive if you just give him Brezec's minutes. Oh, by the way, Primoz had an eye swollen shut over the weekend. He can barely scrap together 0 points and 5 rebs on 0-3 shooting with 2 working eyes, nevermind just 1.

Ray Felton had a great game with 27 points and 10 assists. That type of PG play will certainly help put you over 100 points game in and game out. Wallace (27 points, 4 rebounds, & 6 steals), J-Rich (24 & 4), and Okafor (12 & 12) all did their usual thing.

Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge was limited to 7 points and 1 rebound. Greg Oden was limited to 0 points, 0 rebounds, and a diet coke.

Charlotte Bobcats basketball is kind of exciting at the moment, no?

LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy, and Greg Od... nevermind. It's the Cats and the Blazers!

NBA Ranks:
Charlotte (5-4)

Slow Day...

A rather long night yesterday so I never wrote a game wrap-up.

A nice win, the Cats definitely need to take the games that we're supposed to win if we want to even sniff the playoffs. Having Othella Harrington back is nice. Actually, anyone that can possibly take minutes from Primoz Brezec is a nice addition.

The bench looked fantastic, which is obviously very nice to see.

Other than that, it's 4-6 Portland tomorrow night for the second part of our 3-game homestand.
