RYAN HOLLINS GOD'S GIFT TO THE BOBCATS

Calling Wallace or Richardon a superstar is like calling Sean Bean an A-list actor

They're really good, but haven't shown they can carry a winning team yet

There's no superstars on teams that win 1/3 of their games, with a few notable exceptions

1/22/2008 11:42:15 AM

like Dwayne Wade

how many superstars are in the league though? like 8 or 9? winning will bring the fans in

1/22/2008 11:47:29 AM

Yeah the definition of superstar is vague but there should be less than 10 in the league at any given time to keep it as an elite designation

Richardson can't ever be a superstar because his game is basically the same as many other players like Kobe, Carter, T-Mac, etc...he'll always be seen as few notches below them unless he continues going 38 and 14

Wallace has a higher ceiling because his game is so unique...his jumper has improved a lot, but if it ever gets really good, he could be a borderline top 10 player in the league. Being in Charlotte won't help his marketability but there's really no one in the league like him right now...I'd say the closest would probably be Sean Marion, but put Wallace on Phoenix instead and I wouldn't bet against him having similar numbers to the Matrix


btw treetwista, I see you've picked up 2k8 finally...let me know whenever you want an asswhooping

1/22/2008 11:58:14 AM

^careful, he considers that foreplay...

1/22/2008 11:59:43 AM

He's been playing 2k7 up till a few days ago...I stalk him thru Xbox Live

He finally managed to save up the 60 bucks to get 2k8

1/22/2008 12:07:30 PM

more like my lazy ass finally sent back a game to gamefly so they could send me 2k8

1/22/2008 2:15:05 PM

brought out the sean bean reference

1/22/2008 9:34:26 PM

Love the Sean Bean reference

I can't really use it that much in casual conversation since not that many people know who he is

They know the face, but not the name

1/22/2008 9:59:02 PM

You just compared Richardson to Kobe.


A guy who isn't one of the top 50 players in the league to a guy that has been hands down top 5 for the past ~7 years.

Thats ridiculous.


CHarlotte not too far out of contention but i dont see us outplaying the Bulls from here on out. Going to have to catch the Hawks. The Pacers will go down no contest

1/23/2008 12:37:31 AM

Thank you for saying that ^

1/23/2008 7:35:49 AM

I compared Richardson to Kobe in that thier games were the same...high scoring shooting guards with the ability to finish

I didn't indicate their skill levels were close

Matt Carroll has the same type of game as Michael Redd...great shooter but not the most athletic guy in the world

Their skill levels aren't close either

1/23/2008 9:28:00 AM

Wallace questionable against the Mavericks tonight

1/23/2008 10:12:55 AM

He'll play

Gerald's no Ladainian

1/23/2008 10:21:40 AM

i plugged Magette in my SF spot on my fantasy roster just in case

1/23/2008 11:04:08 AM

Up by 20 on the Clippers!

just hit like four straight threes

1/29/2008 12:00:07 AM

good win

1 game out of 8th

1/29/2008 10:00:14 AM

ahaha

1/30/2008 7:51:51 PM

pffft, there should be another I on the board

DEFINITELY SHOPPED

1/30/2008 7:54:32 PM

apparently bobcatsplanet.com has a recurring thing about the fine ham buscuit

half their photoshops refer to it

Bobcats sign Earl Boykins

i love it...fuck mcinnis's playing time

1/31/2008 4:15:09 PM

Haha yes

I guess he'll be joining them in Oakland tomorrow

1/31/2008 4:35:01 PM

maybe the Bobcats will do like the Nets did and tell Jeff McInnis to not even show up for practice or games since and that he was never going to play

hell maybe McInnis will go back to Jersey if Kidd gets moved...he can back up Marcus Williams...then he can 'back up' Marcus Williams' laptop!

1/31/2008 4:36:42 PM

"we should sign "little" earl boykins. I would love to see him in a 'Cats jersey and I think he would be a good addition, especially if Felton is limited or ineffective this season. Sammy V would just have to tell Little Earl that he can't shoot as much as he would like. 11/7/2007 6:15:25 PM"

called it on page 17. though actually, we are gonna need Earl's offense.

but, HELL YEAH!! Sam Vincent basically has taken a shit on Jeff McInnis, probably with advice from Phil Ford.


[Edited on January 31, 2008 at 6:33 PM. Reason : called that shit, yo.]

1/31/2008 6:26:31 PM

Stephanie Ready's looking hot tonight

We've been right near where she shits at several games...she wear a pretty tight skirt and has the ass to justify that decision

2/4/2008 10:24:25 PM

you cant fool us fag

2/4/2008 10:25:51 PM

at least we covered

by a half point

on a garbage bucket with 11 seconds left

2/4/2008 11:31:04 PM

Wallace practiced at full speed yesterday, should be back tonight when we take on the Spurs @ San Antonio at 8:30pm on News14

I certainly don't expect us to win, but I haven't seen a regular season NBA game in like 5 days so I'm pumped

2/19/2008 5:46:45 PM

I keep thinking its time to start rooting for losses and a chance at Beasley, Rose, Mayo, etc.

But then I look at the standings in the East and think "Hey, why not us?"

2/19/2008 5:53:42 PM

haha Mayo had 4 points an 10 to's the other night, ouch....

2/19/2008 5:56:33 PM

oh shit Carroll just dunked it down

2/19/2008 10:33:07 PM

I keep thinking its time to start rooting for losses and a chance at Beasley, Rose, Mayo, etc.

But then I look at the standings in the East and think "Hey, why not us?"

Then I see us put up 65 points and realize "Oh, thats why not us"

2/19/2008 11:31:12 PM

yeah i havent given up yet cause it was at san antonio after the all star break and wallace was even rustier, but by the end of the month i'll have a good idea of how i want to cheer

2/19/2008 11:34:23 PM

Haha this team played such an easy schedule early that it gave us a false hope that this team was going to be good.....sucks.

Maybe this time around we won't Adam Morrison our pick. Watching Roy at the AS game made me so mad.

2/20/2008 1:13:53 AM

yeah i remember watching the draft lottery and seeing our pick and saying "brandon roy" but oh well

the east sucks so damn bad its hard to know what to want until mid march

2/20/2008 1:27:07 AM

My question is, after Roy basically said he wouldn't play for us why didn't we go for Rudy Gay, the same type player Roy is?

2/20/2008 1:56:20 AM

unlike Roy...Rudy Gay doesn't fit the same mold as the players we had been drafting. (character, lots of college, seen to be hard-working)

But on that note, I though Gay was exactly what we needed. he is who I thought we'd draft and who we needed to draft. I Didn't like the idea of drafting Roy because I thought he had reached all of his potential and wouldn't be an NBA star but clearly a solid roleplayer.....this may be why I'm not a GM.

Does this mean we have completely given up on Adam giving us anything next year?

2/20/2008 2:48:00 AM

I still think Adam could definitely be a nice 6th man in this league...we better get something good out of him next year though or he's gone

2/20/2008 3:00:33 PM

LoL Primoz got trade again yesterday to Toronto for Juan Dixon

I think like 2/3 of the raptors are Europeans now

Quote :

" It's hard to see how the Bobcats make the leap from here. The Nazr Mohammed trade earlier in the season hurt their cap flexibility, and signing Okafor to a big deal will cap them out. Adam Morrison looks like a bust. The Bobcats seemed to be stuck in mediocrity."

37-45 for Life

Wallace out for fucking 2 weeks from his concussion

http://www.charlotte.com/bobcats/story/506419.html

Quote :

"Wallace suffered a Grade 3 concussion -- the most serious category and experienced some amnesia."

looks like I'm on the verge of cheering for a lottery pick

2/23/2008 8:26:35 PM

i went to DC last weekend

had i known the bobcats would have been there tonight, i'd have held off and gone this weekend

2/23/2008 8:28:22 PM

on the verge?

you should have been cheering for that all season long. we still need a lot of help. we're a couple GOOD draft picks and a few years from being better than m'eh

2/23/2008 8:29:40 PM

its kind of hard to pull for your team to lose early in the season when you're beating quality teams and well in the playoff discussion in the shitty eastern conference

2/23/2008 8:31:32 PM

almost half of UNC-CH's nba players are on the same court

2/23/2008 8:31:33 PM

so who would yall like to see us draft optimally? Beasley? Hibbert? other?

2/23/2008 11:54:25 PM

Fuck Hibbert

Give me Beasley first, then Rose, Gordon, Lopez, Thabeet or Jordan....I see us picking like 5-9, so the top few will probably be out of our reach

2/24/2008 12:02:28 AM

i like hibbert myself...kinda clumsy but there arent a lot of legit 7' + centers...plus he's black which is sometimes good in basketball...dunno though, i'm thinking what position we need, etc

2/24/2008 1:27:00 AM

I don't think we are in a position to draft for position. We still need to go after talent, because we don't seem to have much of that.

I like hibbert, just not sure he is worth a high lottery pick. He is definitley a project.

2/24/2008 2:27:53 AM

Hibbert will be a serviceable backup center in the NBA.

I could see him averaging 5-6 ppg, and 4 reb in the league some day.

I'm not sure that would push us over the top.

We need a big time player in the draft, period.
