Two Signs the Bobcats Should Throw in the Towel on Season

FIRST Why the hell is Matt Carroll playing in a NBA game? SECOND Seldom used Spurs forward Steve Novak scored 19 points on the Bobcats Saturday night. P.S. Kwame Brown is the starting center.  Still.   (Image Credit: AP) Follow Ryan on Twitter @rpravato, where his bracket is about as spent as the 28-41 Bobcats, who, amazingly, are only [...]

Eighth Seed in the East? Anyone want it? Bueller?

Does any team want the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference? It certainly doesn’t seem like it. The Indiana Pacers are on a six-game losing streak and the Charlotte Bobcats ended their own six-game skid just the other day against the Portland Trail Blazers. Going on such streaks has turned what seemed like a [...]

Where do the Bobcats go from here?

It’s been nearly two weeks since the Charlotte Bobcats traded the former face of their franchise, Gerald Wallace, to the Portland Trail Blazers for two first round draft picks, Joel Przybilla, Dante Cunningham and Sean Marks (later waived). While some questioned the move that traded away the Bobcats best player, other saw in it the [...]

We’ve held onto it, as we usually do, but as microfractures pile [...]

If Ya Can’t Beat ‘em Elbow ‘em In The Groin

(Image via Chuck Burton-AP) The Stephen Jackson-less (for the 2nd half anyway) Bobcats beat the Celtics Monday night. Word on the street is that Garnett is a big ol’ you know what on the court.  Ron Jeremy ain’t got nothing. Zilch. I used to like Kevin Garnett when he wasn’t a meany.  But actually he probably always was a [...]

Weekend NBA Doodles

Last night I was having some serious writer’s block. So to try to stir the creative juices, I started doodling with my pen on some notecards I had lying around. I don’t usually post on the weekends, but I thought something as simple and that didn’t require any thought would be a fun post for [...]
