1-0 under Silas!

12/27/2010 9:19:14 PM

Charles Oakley looks old w/ his grey hair


makes me feel old having seen him in his heyday with the Knicks in 94 beat the hornets (my 2nd ever game)

12/27/2010 9:20:12 PM

beat the hornets on the court

then beat the shit out of them in a fistfight

1 week ago, we probably had the least physically tough coach in the NBA

now we have arguably the toughest coaching staff in the league with Silas and Oak

12/27/2010 9:21:43 PM

i remember hersey hawkins scored his 10,000th point in that game

12/27/2010 9:25:12 PM

THE HAWK

i kinda remember that too, i was either there or watching on TV

12/27/2010 9:36:54 PM

trying to think of some more people in that game w/o looking it up

-ewing
-oakley
-another Charles ... Davis?, Smith?
-starks
-Zo
-LJ
-Muggsy (actually i think he was injured, for that game and the Suns game i went to earlier that year, when Barkley hit a 3 with 5 seconds left and PHX won 108-105)
-derek harper
-hubert davis (i think he hit a 3 from the corner)
-scott burrell


im sure im forgetting some obvious ones

12/27/2010 9:43:14 PM

Charles Smith

was this during or post- Kendal Gill era

Darin Hancock?

12/27/2010 9:44:22 PM

Darrin Hancock was a rookie either the next year or the year after that ... i remember he had a fast break dunk against the Magic in the season finale (it was an NBC sunday game, bill walton and hannah storm were there...bill walton wouldn't give autographs)

12/27/2010 9:46:14 PM

one time after a Suns game I got Kevin Johnson's autograph...but he asked me what 9 times 9 was first...when I said 81 he signed it...it always stuck with me that he was a good guy who cared about gets getting an education...even though he got some kind of sexual harassment charges when he was mayor of Sacramento haha

12/27/2010 10:03:50 PM

you shoulda been like 18....in a mirror


or Kobe Bryant's career high game and he'd have been like "who the hell is kobe bryant"

12/27/2010 10:06:24 PM

i was probably 11 or 12 years old...more excited about an autograph than being clever

i will say, i got a ton of autographs over the years at hornets games...best players were probably barkley and olajuwon...and i'll tell you what, olajuwon, aside from being one of the best big men and players in NBA history, was also really nice

also Ralph Sampson was really cool, he reached his long ass arm up to give me daps as he went into the tunnel after an injury...i've got some old card notebook (3x3 plastic pages for cards) with about 20 pages of autographs...even though there are duplicates like about 10 Armon Gilliam autographs lol...i need to scan some of them in sometime

although i should probably keep in perspective that players are probably more likely to happily give an autograph to a little kid, than if i tried the same shit now that i'm 30 years old although at the same time, i think its lame for an adult to go after autographs, though i still appreciate posing for a flick with a pro athlete / celebrity

12/27/2010 10:09:14 PM

we mainly used ticket stubs to get autographs

sean elliot
george zidek
scott burrell
eric piatkowski
Bo Outlaw
brent barry
bob hill
avery johnson
charlie ward
matt geiger

and Jeff Gordon lol

12/27/2010 10:11:58 PM

i saw Tom Cruise at a game during the Days of Thunder shooting era...also Arn Anderson

12/27/2010 10:13:12 PM

Myra from Family Matters sang the national anthem at one game

in the 95-96 season, during halftime of a Raptors game one guy hit a shot from halfcourt and won like 250,000

[Edited on December 27, 2010 at 10:14 PM. Reason : ]

12/27/2010 10:13:53 PM

R.I.P.

she was fine as fuck

and i was at the game where dude hit the halfcourt shot, awesome

111, Q, seats 3-4

12/27/2010 10:15:10 PM

12/27/2010 10:20:26 PM

I wore a Phills jersey to a Hornets/Magic game in New Orleans...front row sits behind the Hornets bench...guy behind me on the 2nd row tapped me on the shoulder and asked where I got the jersey...that guy was Lil Wayne

12/27/2010 10:23:27 PM

hope he talked faster than he raps

12/27/2010 10:24:02 PM

i have a pic of me and Wayne, I know it was on campusblender so I can't get it from there, but I have it somewhere

at a Hornets/Magic game, he was wearing a New Jersey Nets hat, jersey and hoody, lol

12/27/2010 10:27:11 PM

you gonna buy nba jam?

12/27/2010 10:30:50 PM

probably should, what is it 800 MS points or something?

12/27/2010 10:33:25 PM

i guess it would translate to 4000 MS points

12/27/2010 10:35:19 PM

oh yeah its a retail game

12/27/2010 10:36:49 PM

stephen jackson can't miss from downtown

12/27/2010 10:38:31 PM

just watched the end of the game vs. the Warriors ... what a shitty final playcall ... down by 1 with about 7 seconds left, Jackson just walks the ball up to the 3 pt line and tries to shoot in the guys face ...clank

ironic/whateverwordiscorrect that my previous post was about how Jackson can't miss from 3 in nba jam

[Edited on December 31, 2010 at 5:20 PM. Reason : ]

12/31/2010 5:20:08 PM

did you see the play right before that?

Golden State has the ball, up 1, 14 seconds left...Dorell Wright is inbounding...can't inbound so he calls a timeout...then they get it inbounds, about 6 seconds go off the clock, and the Bobcats foul... but we still have a foul to give, so Golden State goes to inbound it again...before inbounding, Monta Ellis takes Gerald Henderson to the ground, offensive foul, Bobcats get the ball without having to foul

then Stephen Jackson does what dweedle said

12/31/2010 6:18:38 PM

Miami in town tonight

Can't decide on going to see what will probably an ass beating with Wallace out, or watching the Panthers future QB play vs VT instead

1/3/2011 12:20:51 PM

go to the next miami game, i bet the orange bowl will be a better game to watch

1/3/2011 12:22:18 PM

Yeah they come again in about a month

Miami, Dallas and Boston all in a row Feb 4-7

1/3/2011 12:34:59 PM

d-wade in the house

1/3/2011 12:43:51 PM

lol James finishes w/ 38 and Wade w/ 31

1/3/2011 9:24:23 PM

Went to the my first Charlotte game against the Wizards on Saturday night. Bobcats played well, nice arena too. John Wall had some supporters in the crowd so it was nice to see them go home sad. Also when did Boris Diaw become a huge fatass??

1/10/2011 4:39:15 PM

^ he played well in the playoffs in 2005 i believe, signed a big deal in the offseason and came back 30 lbs overweight. He never really lost the weight and since we play him at center a lot I guess he really doesn't want to right now..

1/10/2011 7:57:42 PM

here's what someone posted as the crowd for tonight's game against the Grizzlies

1/10/2011 8:01:55 PM

save my seat while i grab a beer.

1/10/2011 8:02:26 PM

^^So just another Monday night game then?

1/10/2011 8:07:52 PM

whoever went to that game must really hate football

1/10/2011 8:11:10 PM

That's 3 straight and 5-2 overall since Silas came back.

We're currently tied for the 8th spot with Philly.

Quote :

"There are quite a few NBA fans that wouldn't brave a clear and 72-degree day to see a game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Charlotte Bobcats, so you can't blame nine-tenths of the over 10,000 people that bought tickets to Monday night's Bobcats/Grizzlies game for staying home instead of braving the elements and taking in this classic. Charlotte was reeling from a major snow and then ice-storm, and with an early tip-off and the specter of the NCAA college football championship playing in everyone's warm living room, just 1,000 diehards showed up for the Bobcat blowout win. To call the showing sparse would be an understatement. The arena (which can be outfitted to hold 20,000 fans) echoed with every dribble. The upper tier featured a not-at-all-obvious curtain that blocked off the empty seats. Just one-third of Charlotte's dance team showed. And both players and coaches had to be warned to watch their language, as both the television mics and sparse crowd could hear every rude word with ease without the usual lip-reading involved. And the game? The game was terrible. Memphis (especially if Denver decides to rebuild and trade Carmelo Anthony(notes)) has a real shot at making the playoffs out West, and the Bobcats actually made the postseason last year, but Memphis seemed ill at ease with the strange setting, and struggled throughout. Though not as much as Bobcats guard Matt Carroll(notes). Who, charged with tossing a souvenir T-shirt into the "crowd" before the game, was left having to change his aim. From the AP: Matt Carroll's first hint was the curtains blocking off the upper deck when he came out for his pregame shooting routine. The effects of a rare Southern snowstorm really hit home just before tip-off when the Charlotte guard was supposed to throw a free T-shirt into the crowd. "I was looking around and I couldn't find anybody," Carroll said. "So I said I was going to throw it up to a zone and see if someone can get it." It's enough to make Bobcats owner Michael Jordan, wary of those lost gate receipts, pine for his days in warm and cozy Chicago, Ill. As if to rub it in, the Bulls will fly into Charlotte on Wednesday. Bring a shovel, Derrick Rose."

1/11/2011 2:02:02 PM

I remember going to a December Hornets game against the Warriors, I think. I know Jamison was on the other team, and it was during one of Doherty's terrible terrible bball seasons for the holes...there were about 1,200 fans that showed up that night at the Coliseum, and this was the Hornets, who had more fan support than the Bobcats do nowadays. We got to move down low to about the 5th row or so, and while Antawn was at the free throw line, I yelled out "How's your alma mater doing in basketball this year" and he looked over at me, and just kind of hung his head down and shook it to the side a few times. Lots of ABCers in the area laughed.

I loved the atmosphere myself. It was kind of like going to see a huge name band of musician in a small club as opposed to a big amphitheater.

1/11/2011 2:45:49 PM

I woulda gone last night if not the football game. Roads are not that bad. Floor seats were going for 60.

1/11/2011 3:29:31 PM

Bulls in the house






and for everyone saying we should have taken Lopez over Augustin, there's one glaring problem with Brook's game

1/12/2011 3:53:11 PM

my scenario involved playing Lopez at the 5 and Okafor at the 4, in which case Lopez wouldn't have too much of a rebounding burden

1/12/2011 4:02:22 PM

Six rebounds from a starting center is pathetic anyway you slice it

1/12/2011 4:05:15 PM

i'm just saying, Cartwright didn't need to pull down 10 boards a game when Rodman was pulling down 19 a game

not that Okafor is as good a rebounder as Rodman

1/12/2011 4:06:59 PM

No one, and I mean NO ONE, blows a lead like the Charlotte Bobcats

1/12/2011 9:16:59 PM

comin down to the wire

got jobbed by the refs twice in 30 sec around the 3:30 mark

1/12/2011 9:21:15 PM

I got it running in the background while I beat

Steve Martin's voice gets me over the edge

1/12/2011 9:22:04 PM

steve martin is goin fuckin nuts on that thomas layup and the ball hitting off chicago to turn it over

1/12/2011 9:24:42 PM

Hey TreeTwista10 how does this team look after a coaching change?
